Spine
Spring has some of the best spinal specialists in the UK. All the spinal surgeons in Spring are dedicated to the spine only and are Fellowship trained, so you can be assured you are in the safest of hands.
They are specialists in all the problems that may affect or come from the spine, including local neck or back pain; nerve pain affecting the arm & hand or legs; weakness in the arms or legs; difficulties with walking; spinal injuries.
Diagnosis
The spine is very complex, and the critical first stage in treatment is making a correct diagnosis. Spring’s spinal specialists have years of experience in managing spinal conditions to enable them to understand a patient’s symptoms. They have access to advanced diagnostics including:
MRI
CT
SPECT-CT
Neurophysiology
Dynamic x-ray
Interventional Neuroradiology
They have relationships with many other specialities including orthopaedics, rheumatology, neurology, vascular surgery, neurosurgery & pain management among others, so if they feel the spine is not the issue, they can help in re-directing a patient without delay.
Treatment
With the spine being so complex, there is no ‘one treatment’ or surgery for all spinal conditions.
Our specialists offer a wide variety of treatments, ranging from managed physical therapy programs, through injections to some of the most advanced surgery in the UK.
Our specialists will always look to the less interventional options first, and always discuss a ‘bespoke’ treatment plan based upon a patient’s needs, their pathology or problem, their general health and evidence-based guidance.
Our Spinal surgeons have access to several independent hospitals in Brighton & Hove & across Sussex, including one with a Care Quality Commission (CQC) “Outstanding” rating.
