Treatment options to discuss
Your assessment
Spine care starts with understanding pain pattern, nerve symptoms, previous treatment and imaging. Many people improve without surgery.
Understanding the options
Physiotherapy, medicines and activity guidance are common first steps. Surgery is considered for selected problems after careful evaluation.
Recovery and follow-up
If surgery is planned, ask about hospital stay, mobilisation, work return and warning signs that need urgent review.
Questions for your consultation
Does back pain always need surgery?
No. Many back problems are managed without an operation. Surgery is considered when symptoms, examination and imaging support it.
What red flags should I know?
Seek urgent care for progressive weakness, bladder or bowel changes, fever with severe back pain, or trauma with concerning symptoms.
Prepare for your visit
Bring previous reports and imaging, a medication list and the questions you want to discuss. Contact the clinic to confirm your consultation time.
