Spinal conditions
From injuries, to complex congenital and degenerative spinal conditions, we're here for everyone - child or adult - with expert diagnosis and specialist treatment.
Ankylosing spondylitis (AS)
Back pain
The spine is made up of 33 individual bones that protect the spinal cord. And spinal pain can present in all areas, from top to bottom of the spine.
Back pain in children and teens
Children and teens tend to be more flexible however if your child is experiencing persistent back pain, at HCA UK we can help.
Brachialgia
Brachialgia, or cervical radiculopathy, describes pain in the arm caused by a pinched nerve in the neck.
Degenerative disc disease (DDD)
Our world-leading spinal specialists treat the pain caused by a worn spinal disc.
Kyphosis in children
Kyphosis in children is sometimes called juvenile kyphosis or roundback. If your child has kyphosis, their back will appear markedly curved when viewed from the side. Depending on the severity of the condition, your child may be treated with physiotherapy, a special brace, or in severe cases, surgery to prevent further curving.
Neck pain
From complex spinal surgery to diagnostic tests and procedures, we provide exceptional back care across our network of hospitals, outpatient centres and specialist clinics.
Scoliosis in adults
Also known as de novo scoliosis, adult scoliosis happens as the spine wears with age - we offer a range of treatments to manipulate and realign the spine.
Scoliosis in children
A spinal curve that may take the shape of a single or double curve is treated by a team of paediatric spinal surgeons, neurosurgeons and therapists at The Portland Hospital.
Slipped disc
While it's possible to live with a slipped disc and not realise it, many people experience painful and uncomfortable symptoms. We can quickly diagnose a slipped disc and effectively treat the pain and symptoms that are holding you back.
Spinal stenosis
From complex surgery to straightforward procedures, we provide exceptional care across our network of hospitals, outpatient centres and specialist clinics.
Spinal trauma and fracture
Whilst spinal fractures will cause pain and restrict your mobility, the most severe cases may leave a patient with irreversible, life-changing consequences. Our spinal specialists provide expert advice, precise diagnosis and effective fractured spine treatment.
