Meet Dr David Edis

Imaging reviewed with you

Your scans are reviewed in detail, together.

Clear explanations

We use anatomical models and visuals to explain complex problems.

Options, not assumptions

Time to discuss all appropriate options. Surgery only when it’s the right choice.

Previous spine surgery?

Complex doesn’t necessarily mean untreatable.

We welcome patients with complex spine conditions — including those who feel they’ve already tried everything. A previous diagnosis or treatment elsewhere doesn’t mean your options are exhausted. Every case is reassessed on its own merits, with a treatment plan built around you.

What we treat

Find information about your spinal condition.

Our condition guides cover a wide range of spinal problems, from adjacent segment disease through to spine tumours.

Spinal Stenosis

The spinal cord or spinal nerve roots are compressed in the spinal canal.

Herniated Disc

The soft, inner part of the disc bulges out through a weak spot in the outer disc.

Spondylolisthesis

One of the bones in your spine (a vertebra) has slipped forward or backward out of line with the bone below it.

Sciatica

Pain that radiates from the back or buttock area, down the leg and into the foot or toes.

A sideways curve in your spine, caused by age-related changes in your discs and facet joints.
