We are experts in delivering the most effective and appropriate treatment for degenerative spinal conditions.

Degenerative spinal conditions involve the gradual loss of normal structure and function of the spine over time. They are usually caused by ageing, but may also be the result of tumours, infections or arthritis. Pressure on the spinal cord and nerve roots caused by degeneration can be caused by slipped or herniated discs.
