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.
Orthopaedic treatment and care
Your treatment and care begin as soon as you meet with one of our consultants. They are specialists in their field, meaning you can feel reassured and confident in your treatment.
You’ll be in expert hands for all your care
Your consultant can call on the support and expertise of a whole team of multidisciplinary experts. That means specialist musculoskeletal radiologists reporting back on your X-ray, MRI or CT scans; it means nursing and theatre teams specially trained in orthopaedics; and it means full post-surgery support from our physiotherapy team to get you back to doing the things you love, as soon as possible.
Orthopaedic treatments
Scoliosis in adults
Lumbar decompression
Surgery to the lower spine. We have the technology and expertise to carry out surgery on your lower spine using minimally invasive surgery.
Rotator cuff repair
If your pain hasn’t improved using non-surgical treatments, or if you have a particularly large tear, then surgery could offer you the best option to regain strength in the shoulder.
Hip replacement surgery
An operation to replace a worn or damaged hip joint with an artificial one. Hip replacement surgery can bring you great relief from chronic hip pain and improve your mobility and quality of life.
ACL reconstruction
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a major ligament in the knee. This procedure is to repair the ACL if it becomes damaged or torn, and restore stability in your knee.
Cheilectomy
A treatment performed as either open or minimally invasive surgery, this procedure is used to treat milder cases of osteoarthritis in the big toe.

Book your appointment
Booking an appointment with us couldn't be easier. You can call, or book using our online consultant directory.
If your treatment is going to be covered by private medical insurance, we'll need your insurance member number and authorisation code, so you'll need to have them to hand along with your referral letter.
We'll do everything we can to confirm your consultation there and then but, if that's not possible, we'll get back to you with a phone call or email within 24 hours.
