A spine consultation focused on finding the cause of your neck or back problem
Neck pain, back pain, leg or arm symptoms: Dr. Rajesh Pathi will listen carefully, examine you, review any scans and explain what is going on and what can be done.
When to seek emergency care. New loss of bladder or bowel control, numbness around the saddle area, or rapidly worsening weakness in the legs need emergency care. Call 108 or go to the nearest emergency department.
Most spine problems are manageable, and most don't need surgery
The first aim is to understand the cause and offer honest guidance, including reassurance where that is the answer.
