Patient Information

Spinal exercises and physiotherapy are vital for maintaining a healthy spine, improving posture, and alleviating pain. These treatments focus on strengthening the muscles around the spine, increasing flexibility, and enhancing overall mobility. Through a combination of targeted exercises, manual therapy, and guided movement, physiotherapy helps manage conditions such as lower back pain, herniated discs, sciatica, and neck strain. Regular spinal exercises promote better alignment, reduce the risk of injury, and support long-term spinal health, helping individuals return to their daily activities with reduced discomfort and improved function.

Spinal injections are a treatment option used to relieve pain and inflammation in the back, neck, and legs, and can also serve as a diagnostic tool. They deliver medication (commonly local anaesthetic and steroids) directly into the area around the spine, targeting specific nerves or joints to reduce pain and improve mobility. They can be especially helpful for conditions like herniated discs, sciatica, or arthritis. Spinal injections can provide relief when other treatments, like physical therapy or medications, have not worked and can help patients return to their daily activities with less pain.

These injections can help pinpoint the exact source of pain and confirm the diagnosis while also offering temporary pain relief, allowing patients to better understand their condition and guide further treatment options.

Spinal surgery is aimed at treating spine conditions that have not responded to other treatments. It is typically recommended for issues like herniated discs and spinal stenosis. Surgery may involve removing damaged discs, fusing vertebrae, or correcting structural abnormalities. The goal is to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function. While it’s often considered a last resort, spinal surgery can provide long-term relief and help patients return to normal activities when conservative treatments are not effective.
