The Harley Street Hospital is a recognised centre of excellence for spinal care. Our consultant spinal surgeons diagnose and treat the full range of conditions affecting the neck and back — from everyday pain and sciatica to complex deformity — using the latest minimally invasive and motion-preserving techniques. Many of our procedures are performed as day cases, often without a general anaesthetic, so patients can be up, walking and home the same day.
More than 90% of the patients we see are managed successfully without surgery. Where an operation is the right option, our surgeons favour keyhole and laser techniques that protect the surrounding muscles and speed recovery. Rapid-access diagnostics — including same-day MRI, CT and low-dose EOS imaging — mean an accurate diagnosis without unnecessary delay.

The Evolution of Motion Preservation: Recent advancements in Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS) have shifted the paradigm towards motion preservation. Modern endoscopic and laser techniques allow for the precise decompression of nerves with minimal muscle disruption, significantly reducing post-operative pain and enabling rapid-recovery day-case protocols that were previously impossible.
