All About Spines is a new service
offered at
The Lister Hospital and at Chelsea Outpatient Centre
Introduction
The Lister Hospital has introduced a new service, All About Spines, catering for the increasing number of patients suffering from back and neck pain conditions. A multidisciplinary approach provides a comprehensive service for patients suffering with disorders of the spine.
The All About Spines team incorporates not only orthopaedic and neuro spinal surgeons but also neurologists, rheumatologists, radiologists, chiropractors, osteopaths, physiotherapists and psychologists.
Our philosophy is to provide first-class treatment in the environment of the Lister Hospital and Chelsea Outpatient Centre.
Spine Conditions – view our guide to common back and neck conditions.
Back and neck pain is very common, costing the country millions of pounds in lost work and medical resources every year. Most back pain does not signify any serious underlying problem and can sort itself out within a few days to a few weeks if treated properly. Serious conditions are fortunately rare, but certain symptoms known as red flags should alert people of these potential problems, (go to our section on RED FLAGS).
