Spinal surgery and treatments

Often, the cause of back, neck or spine 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

Opened in 2012, The Montefiore Hospital offers a comprehensive private healthcare service for patients in the Brighton and Hove area and the rest of Sussex. Our modern, clean and comfortable hospital has its own physiotherapy team, on-site imaging facilities, a pathology lab and pharmacy so we can take care of you every step of the way in your treatment.

Our services are available to everyone – whether or not you are privately insured. If you are paying for your own treatment, we offer one-off private hospital treatment, with a fixed price agreed in advance. We also offer some services to NHS patients on behalf of the NHS.
