Spinal Surgery

Often, the cause of back or neck problems is not possible to identify and pain will improve on its own in time.

However, if you have ongoing problems, we offer fast access to consultations and diagnostic tests and scans. You can get expert advice and treatment that's personalised to you and your needs, with as much aftercare as you clinically need.

Our consultants are experts in their field, offering treatments for a variety of conditions. Medical conditions causing back or neck problems that may benefit from treatment include:

• Arthritis, for example ankylosing spondylitis - inflammation in your spine and other joints
• A slipped or herniated disc - the soft cushion between two vertebra is pushing on a spinal nerve
• Sciatica - compression of a nerve at the bottom of your spinal cord
• Scoliosis - twisting or curvature of your spine, often starting in childhood
• An injury

We were the first hospital in Cheshire to perform Vertebroplasty, a procedure for the treatment of vertebral collapse due to spinal osteoporosis. We also offer innovative procedures like the X-Stop procedure for lumbar spinal stenosis and Balloon kyphoplasty for vertebral compression fractures.

Our facilities include some of the latest generation scanners and operating theatres with laminar flow, an essential requirement for orthopaedic surgery to help minimise the risk of infection. The spinal service at Spire Regency Hospital features a team of eminent orthopaedic spinal consultant surgeons, highly trained nursing staff, physiotherapists, and consultant radiologists using gold standard MRI and DEXA scanners.
