Our philosophy: conservative before surgery

Spinal surgery is a central component of the Spine Centre and is one of Bethesda Hospital's key qualifications. We specialise in the diagnosis and treatment of degenerative diseases of the entire spine.

Wherever possible, we endeavour to treat your complaints conservatively and, if necessary, surgically and work with you to find the best way back to mobility.
