Understanding Spinal Pain and Sciatica
Spinal pain can arise from a wide range of conditions affecting the neck, thoracic spine, or lower back. Sciatica is commonly caused by irritation or compression of spinal nerve roots, leading to pain radiating into the leg, often accompanied by numbness, tingling, or weakness.
Consultant-Led Assessment
Every patient undergoes a comprehensive consultant-led assessment to identify the precise source of pain. This includes detailed history taking, physical and neurological examination, and review of imaging where necessary. Accurate diagnosis is essential to selecting the most effective treatment.
Targeted Treatment Options
We offer a range of evidence-based treatments tailored to spinal pain and sciatica, including epidural steroid injections, nerve root blocks, facet joint injections, and radiofrequency ablation. Treatments are chosen based on the underlying cause and severity of symptoms.
Advanced Imaging Guidance
All spinal procedures are performed using fluoroscopic or ultrasound guidance to ensure precise placement of medication and optimal safety. Imaging guidance improves treatment accuracy and reduces the risk of complications.
Focus on Recovery and Function
Our aim is not only to relieve pain but also to improve mobility and overall quality of life. By combining accurate diagnosis, targeted intervention, and ongoing review, we support patients in returning to daily activities with confidence and reduced pain.
