HOW CAN WE HELP?
Start with your symptoms.
Many patients arrive knowing something is wrong, but not necessarily the diagnosis. Specialist assessment starts with understanding what you are experiencing.
01
Back pain
Persistent lower or upper back symptoms affecting normal activity.
02
Neck pain
Neck symptoms with or without pain travelling into the shoulder or arm.
03
Sciatica & leg pain
Pain, tingling or altered sensation travelling from the spine into the leg.
04
Arm pain & numbness
Symptoms affecting the arm or hand that may originate from the cervical spine.
05
Spinal stenosis
Narrowing around nerves that can affect walking, balance or limb symptoms.
06
Spinal deformity
Assessment of scoliosis and complex changes in spinal alignment.
SPECIALIST APPROACH
Treat the patient, not simply the scan.
Imaging is important, but it forms only part of the clinical picture. The aim is to understand your symptoms, examination findings, lifestyle and priorities before deciding how best to proceed.
MR ABBAS’S APPROACH
Clear advice before any decision about surgery.
Shared decision-making is central to Mr Abbas’s management of spinal conditions, particularly where several treatment options may be appropriate.
01
Listen
Understand your symptoms, history and priorities.
02
Assess
Bring together examination, imaging and clinical findings.
03
Discuss
Explain the options, benefits and considerations clearly.
04
Treat
Proceed with the appropriate pathway for you.
