Living with back pain can be incredibly challenging, affecting every aspect of your daily life—from work and mobility to sleep and emotional wellbeing. At One Hatfield Hospital, we understand how debilitating neck and back pain can be, and we’re here to help you get the relief you need, fast.

Our expert spinal and orthopaedic specialists are available for rapid access consultations, often within 48 hours, to assess, diagnose and treat a wide range of back pain and spinal conditions.

Expert Diagnosis and Specialist Back Pain Treatment

At our dedicated Spinal and Back Unit, our experienced consultants treat a comprehensive range of spinal conditions, including:

• Spinal decompression
• Spinal injections for back pain relief
• Spinal fusion
• Lumbar microdiscectomy
• Kyphoplasty

We use advanced imaging technologies—including MRI, X-ray and ultrasound—in our state-of-the-art imaging suite to quickly and accurately diagnose the cause of your lower back pain, sciatica, herniated discs, or chronic neck pain. Our radiology team works closely with your consultant to develop a personalised treatment plan that’s right for you.

Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery

Where appropriate, our private spinal surgeons use minimally invasive (keyhole) spinal surgery techniques. These procedures are designed to minimise recovery time, reduce post-operative discomfort, and shorten your hospital stay. For more complex spinal surgery, your stay may be slightly longer, but rest assured, you'll be cared for in one of our modern private en-suite rooms designed with comfort and privacy in mind.

Comprehensive Spine Care Under One Roof

We offer a full continuum of care—from your initial assessment and spinal imaging through to surgery, aftercare and physiotherapy. Our goal is to support your recovery and help you regain movement, function and quality of life as quickly and safely as possible.

Our consultants bring years of NHS and private healthcare experience and are highly skilled in treating back pain associated with:

• Degenerative disc disease
• Spinal stenosis
• Sciatica
• Sports injuries
• Trauma-related back conditions

They also work alongside specialists in rheumatology, trauma and sports medicine to ensure a holistic approach to your care.

Tailored Aftercare and Rehabilitation

Rehabilitation is a key part of your recovery. Our dedicated physiotherapy and aftercare team will guide you through a personalised rehab programme, ensuring the best possible outcome after your spine surgery or back pain treatment. Your consultant will remain involved throughout your recovery, helping you get back to doing what you love.
