Having worked extensively on spinal surgery units both before and after being appointed consultant orthopaedic surgeon and with special interest in this area I have a sound knowledge of the management of back pain and sciatica.
In parictular I am in a position to advise on the needs or otherwise for spinal surgery and find that many patients do well with minimally invasive procedures such as epidural injections.
Procedures that I offer include low impact exercises, caudal epidurals, facet joint injection and vertebroplasty.
