Our spine, also known as our spinal column, provides the main support for our body. It protects our spinal cord from injury, and allows us to stand upright and move freely.
The spine is made up of 33 individual bones, stacked one on top of the other. Strong bones and muscles, flexible ligaments and tendons, and sensitive nerves contribute to a healthy spine.
We know our spine serves such an important role in our body. Whether it’s for niggling back pain or complex spinal surgery, for more than 30 years patients have entrusted the spinal surgeons across our network of hospitals to treat a wide range of spinal conditions that include chronic back pain, sports injuries, deformities and tumours.
Spinal surgery includes everything from surgery at the front of the neck, decompressing the spine, managing sciatica, spinal fusions, spinal infections, spinal traumas to treating spinal tumours.
