Minimally invasive decompression for spinal stenosis causing leg pain, numbness, and difficulty walking. Our endoscopic approach preserves spinal stability.
Sharp, shooting pain radiating down the leg. We treat the root cause—whether it's a disc bulge or stenosis—not just the symptoms.
Slippage of one vertebra over another causing instability. We offer minimally invasive stabilization (MISS TLIF), which aims to stabilise the segment and relieve nerve symptoms.
You have radiating leg pain (Sciatica) that is worse than your back pain.
You have tried medication and physiotherapy for at least 6 weeks without lasting relief.
Your MRI confirms a herniated disc or spinal stenosis compressing a nerve.
