The most common complaint that brings people to see me is either back pain & sciatica, or neck pain and arm pain.

Spinal rehabilitation programmes including physiotherapy, hydrotherapy, pain management strategies and even psychology can all play a successful role.

However a significant number of people do need the intervention of a modern, ethical and robust surgical practice, and that is where I come in.

I have a sympathetic, thorough and logical approach to investigation and diagnosis of your complaint.

I then have a gradual response to the problem which is likely to involve simple, safe and quick injection treatment as a day case.

If surgery proves to be indicated I will offer you an operation that is tailored to your individual problem and will be aimed at giving you the best possible results. This could include minimally invasive discectomy, decompressive surgery, disc replacement, or fusion surgery .

I treat neck pain and radiculopathy with a similar rigorous diagnostic and therapeutic approach and will recommend treatment accordingly.

I offer Balloon Kyphoplasty which is a very effective treatment for osteoporotic fractures. This is performed as a daycase or overnight stay and can even be done under local anaesthesia.

I am offering Minimally Invasive Spinal Fusion which has reduced hospital stay for my patients and leads to quicker recovery and back to work times in most cases.

I work in conjunction with a group of associated doctors who are caring and innovative in their approach.

This includes Dr Ash Gulve and Jason Easby who are experienced spinal anaesthetists and pain management specialists, plus Dr Ian Curzon, musculoskeletal radiologist.
