Back and neck pain
Common causes of persistent pain, stiffness and recurring flare-ups.
Chronic Lower Back Pain Lower back pain that lasts beyond three months, with causes ranging from discs and joints to muscles - often improving with the right, targeted care. Facet Injections & RFA Neck pain Most neck pain is muscular and settles on its own, but pain from a disc or a pinched nerve can spread into the shoulder and arm. Neck Fusion (ACDF) Disc degeneration Everyday wear on the spinal discs that can reduce the cushioning between vertebrae and lead to ongoing back or neck pain, stiffness, and flare-ups. Minimally Invasive Fusion Facet joint pain Wear in the small joints that guide your spine, causing localised neck or back pain that often flares when you bend backwards or twist. Facet Injections & RFA SI joint pain Pain from the joint that links the base of your spine to your pelvis, often felt low on one side of the back, in the buttock, or the hip. Osteopathy
Disc and nerve conditions
Conditions that may cause shooting pain, tingling, numbness or weakness in an arm or leg.
Herniated or slipped disc When a spinal disc's soft center pushes through its outer wall, it can press on nearby nerves and radiate pain into the arms or legs. Endoscopic Discectomy Sciatica Irritation or compression of the sciatic nerve, producing pain that travels from the lower back through the buttock and down one leg. Endoscopic Discectomy Pinched nerve Compression of a spinal nerve root, often from a disc or bone change, causing pain, numbness, or weakness along the nerve's path. Endoscopic Discectomy Spinal Stenosis A narrowing of the spinal canal that places pressure on the nerves, often developing gradually with age and causing leg pain when walking. Endoscopic Spine Surgery Spondylolisthesis When one vertebra slips forward over the bone below it - often causing lower back pain, tight hamstrings, and sometimes leg pain or weakness. Minimally Invasive Fusion
Curvature, fractures and bone health
Changes in spinal alignment or bone strength that may affect posture, movement and comfort.
Scoliosis A sideways curvature of the spine that can affect posture and comfort, and in some cases press on nearby nerves. Scoliosis & Deformity Correction Kyphosis An excessive forward rounding of the upper spine that can cause pain and stiffness, and in severe cases affect breathing. Scoliosis & Deformity Correction Compression Fractures A collapse of part of a vertebra, often linked to bone density loss, that can cause sudden back pain and loss of height. Surgery for Spinal Tumors and Infections Spinal trauma and fractures Fractures or dislocations of the spine, from injury or weakened bone, ranging from stable breaks to unstable injuries that can affect the spinal cord.

Complex or persistent conditions
Conditions that need detailed assessment, specialist coordination or review after previous treatment.
Pain after spine surgery Persistent or recurring back or leg pain after one or more spine operations - often a sign the true source needs to be re-examined. Revision Spine Surgery Spinal tumors Abnormal growths in or around the spine or spinal cord - primary or secondary - that may cause persistent pain, numbness, or weakness.
