Frequently asked questions
Talk to us01What conditions can scoliosis correction surgery treat?
Scoliosis correction surgery is used for spinal curves that are progressing or causing significant symptoms. It helps straighten and stabilise the spine, protecting long-term mobility and function.
02What does spinal injury surgery involve?
Spinal injury surgery focuses on stabilising the spine, relieving pressure on the spinal cord or nerves, and supporting recovery of function. The approach varies depending on the type and severity of the injury.
03Are non-surgical treatments considered before surgery?
Yes. Physiotherapy, medication, injections, and activity modification are often explored first. Surgery is generally recommended when symptoms persist or when there is a structural problem that is unlikely to improve without intervention.
04How much are your spine treatments?
Every patient is unique and prices will be based on your consultant’s findings, as well as any specific needs. For more information, please contact our Private Care Team.
05Can I fund my own treatment? And do you have payment options to spread the cost?
