PATIENT INFORMATION

Understanding your spine condition

Spinal conditions can be complex. We provide clear guidance to help patients understand symptoms, treatment options, and recovery expectations.

In most cases, a referral from a general practitioner or another specialist is recommended, particularly if you are claiming through medical aid. Some medical aids require a referral for specialist benefits to apply. If you are unsure, our practice can assist in clarifying the requirements before your consultation.

Conservative care involves non surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, medication, activity modification, and spinal injections aimed at relieving symptoms without an operation. Surgery is considered when symptoms persist despite appropriate conservative treatment, or when there is significant nerve compression, instability, or progressive neurological deficit.

Minimally invasive spine surgery may be appropriate for selected conditions such as certain disc herniations or spinal stenosis. Suitability depends on imaging findings, symptom severity, spinal stability, and overall health status. A detailed clinical assessment and imaging review are required before determining eligibility.
