Spinal Pain Specialist
Spinal pain can affect every part of your day, from walking and sitting to sleeping. Our specialist team treats conditions across the full spine, from the neck down to the lower back, including stenosis, arthritis, disc problems, and fractures.
Spinal conditions are among the top causes of long-term disability, affecting people of all ages. Early treatment can make a significant difference to outcomes.

Help is available, and you do not have to manage this on your own.
Symptoms
We treat conditions affecting the cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine. Here are the most common ones we see.
Narrowing of the spinal canal that puts pressure on the nerves. Common from middle age onwards and often causes leg pain when walking. Nerve-root symptoms are covered on our radiculopathy page.
Wear and tear in the spinal joints, including the facet joints, causing inflammation, stiffness, and pain. Very common and manageable with the right treatment. See facet syndrome.
Pain coming from the spinal cord itself, often from injury, compression, or disease. Can cause burning or unusual sensations.
Age-related changes to the discs and joints of the spine. Progresses slowly over time but can be well managed with treatment.
Fractures of the vertebrae, often linked to osteoporosis or injury. We use minimally invasive techniques to reduce pain and speed up recovery.
Causes
Some spinal pain settles on its own. But if any of the following apply to you, it is worth getting checked.
Treatments
The right treatment depends on what is causing your spinal pain. Here are the main approaches we use.

How it works
Getting started is straightforward.
If you know the type of pain you're experiencing, you can request an appointment online or give us a call - it only takes a couple of minutes. If you're unsure where to start, please give us a call. Our team will be happy to listen, answer your questions, and help guide you toward the most appropriate next step.
Your consultation will usually last 30–45 minutes with one of our experienced pain specialists. This gives your doctor time to understand your symptoms, review your medical history, discuss any previous treatments, and consider the most appropriate next steps for you. The consultation fee is €350, payable on the day of your appointment.
We'll create an individual, tailored pain management plan based on your needs. This may include a combination of treatments, procedures, or infusions, with review appointments to monitor your progress and ongoing care from our experienced pain specialists.
Common questions
A GP referral is required for insurance cover of any treatments or procedures. If you are self-paying, a GP referral may not be required. Please bring any relevant medical information, reports, scans, or medication details to your appointment. Our current waiting time is typically 1–2 weeks.
Most spinal pain does not require surgery. Our specialists focus on non-surgical treatments first, including injections, medication, and rehabilitation. Surgery is only considered if other options have not worked.
Spinal stenosis is when the space inside the spinal canal narrows, putting pressure on the nerves. It can cause pain, numbness, and weakness in the legs or arms. It is very treatable with the right approach.
We accept all the major insurers. We recommend checking with your insurer to confirm what's covered under your specific policy.
Usually within 1 to 2 weeks. If it's urgent, let us know and we'll try to fit you in sooner.
Your first visit lasts about 30 to 45 minutes. The specialist will go through your medical history, carry out an examination, and discuss your symptoms with you. From there, we create a tailored pain management plan designed around your case.
