INSURANCE COMPANIES WE WORK WITH

OUR SERVICES

Private Consultation

 

Whatever your pain or problems, we will hear you out and give you the right care and find a way forwards.  We accept insurance and self-paying patients.  

Spinal Imaging

 

Do you need a spine X-ray, MRI or any other imaging? We can organise that for you but only if you really need it because scans rarely show what is hurting. 

Spinal Injections

We offer diagnostic spinal injections including facet joints, nerve root injection, sacroiliac and epidural. 

Blood tests

 

We often screen for underlying inflammatory pathology to rule out anything serious.

Surgical Opinion

 

Very few people need spinal surgery and very few experts give you a high-quality informed and honest opinion

Non-invasive treatments

 

Find out more about non-invasive options, by far the most common treatment needed. This includes physiotherapy, exercise, yoga, combined physical and psychological programmes and more tailored to your needs.

He was the founder and director of the RealHealth Institute in London which is an evidence-based organization providing multidisciplinary assessment and treatment programmes for patients with chronic and complex spinal pain, including functional restoration and pain management programmes. He is now the clinical director of the RealHealth Institute in Holland, which is a national referral centre for non-surgical care in complex low back pain.
