Treatment Options
For most people, the first step towards dealing with a problem in their neck or back is finding out the cause and what the treatment options are. It may well be that you already have a good idea about the sort of treatment you need. If so, you can probably skip this section, but if you are not sure we are here to help.
Most people are relatively comfortable with the concept of replacing worn or damaged joints with artificial joints. It is common to know at least one person who has had a hip or knee replacement. Other forms of joint replacements, such as shoulders or ankles, are now also undertaken routinely. And for almost as long as surgeons have been replacing hip and knee joints there have been attempts to replace damaged discs in the spine too, but, until recently, these attempts have been frustrated by technical and mechanical complications. However, surgical advances and engineering developments have now overcome these problems and made the possibility of disc replacement a reality.
My experience at The Spine Clinic could not have been better. Nick and the entire staff were extremely competent and professional and everything was done to make me as comfortable as possible for the surgery. Most importantly, it was a great success.
