Conditions
Where is the problem?

Slip DiscA slip disc happens when the soft centre of a spinal disc bulges out and presses on a nerve. Most people get better with rest, medicines and physiotherapy, and only a small number need surgery.
SciaticaSciatica is pain that travels from the lower back down the leg, caused by pressure on a nerve root in the lower spine. It usually gets better within a few weeks without surgery.

Common questions
What is the difference between a neurosurgeon and a neurologist?
Both treat diseases of the brain, spine and nerves. A neurologist treats them with medicines and other non-surgical care. A neurosurgeon is trained to operate on the brain and spine, and also decides when surgery is not needed. Many patients see both.
Does every spine problem need surgery?
No. Most back pain, slip disc and sciatica improve with rest, medicines, physiotherapy and time. Surgery is considered when there is nerve weakness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or pain that does not settle after a fair trial of treatment.
What should I bring to the consultation?
All MRI, CT and X-ray films and reports (old and new), discharge summaries, the list of medicines you take, and any previous prescriptions. If you can, bring a family member.
Can I get advice over the phone first?
The phone line is for booking appointments. A diagnosis or treatment plan cannot be given over the phone, because it needs a proper consultation, an examination and a look at your scans.
