Spinal Surgery with Scoliosis Centre. Our specialisations
Treatment of disorders of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine
When examining the spine.
For over 20 years, we have been treating disorders of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine. We are well-known for our expertise and specialist knowledge. We provide care to patients ranging in age from infants to the elderly. We have specialised in the latest conservative and minimally invasive procedures. As an alternative to surgical ankylosis (fusion) we implant artificial discs and make use of dynamic procedures. We treat deformities with the very latest methods, which permit surgical stiffening over short sections only and follow-up treatment without a surgical corset. The clinic offers outpatient hours in which lower back pain can be investigated and treatment strategies identified. We also provide emergency care for acute trauma patients with vertebral fractures.
