Mr Mel Grainger

I am a Consultant Spinal Surgeon, providing specialist care for patients across Worcester and Worcestershire. My practice covers a comprehensive range of spinal conditions, affecting all levels of the spine, including the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar regions.

I treat both degenerative and complex spinal conditions, utilising a balanced approach that prioritises conservative management wherever possible, with surgery reserved for cases where it offers clear benefit. When surgery is required, I perform both spinal fusion and motion‑preserving procedures for lumbar and cervical spine problems.

I regularly assess and manage patients with sciatica and leg pain, spinal stenosis, degenerative back and neck pain, arm pain related to cervical spine conditions, spinal trauma, spinal tumours and spinal infection.

My goal is to relieve pain, restore function, and improve quality of life using evidence‑based spine care tailored to each patient.

I completed my basic spinal training in the West Midlands, followed by an advanced combined Orthopaedic and Neurosurgical Fellowship in Liverpool, providing broad and in‑depth expertise across both surgical disciplines. I currently work full‑time as a Spinal Surgeon at the Royal Orthopaedic Hospital, one of the UK’s leading centres for complex spinal and orthopaedic care.
