Conditions Treated
Back Pain and Sciatica
Persistent back pain or sciatica may result from nerve compression or other spinal conditions. A detailed assessment helps identify the cause and determine the most appropriate treatment.
Radiculopathy
Radiculopathy occurs when a spinal nerve becomes compressed or irritated. It can cause pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness affecting the arms, hands, legs, or feet.
Myelopathy
Myelopathy is caused by compression of the spinal cord. Symptoms may include reduced coordination, weakness, balance problems, changes in walking, or difficulty using the hands. Early assessment is important to prevent further neurological deterioration.
Neck Pain and Brachialgia
Neck pain accompanied by pain travelling into the shoulder, arm, or hand may indicate nerve involvement. Specialist assessment helps establish the diagnosis and identify suitable treatment options.
Spinal Tumours and Neurological Conditions
Mr Ali Nader-Sepahi has specialist interests in the treatment of spinal tumours, spinal cord tumours, nerve sheath tumours including neurofibromas and schwannomas, Chiari malformations, and syringomyelia. Each condition requires careful evaluation and an individual treatment approach.
Advanced Spinal Surgery
Not every spinal condition requires surgery. When an operation is appropriate, microsurgical techniques are used to improve precision and minimise disruption to surrounding tissues. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include spinal decompression to relieve pressure on the nerves, spinal fusion to improve stability, or disc replacement for suitable patients.
Your Consultation
During your consultation, your symptoms, medical history, and previous investigations will be carefully reviewed. A detailed neurological examination may be performed, and existing scans will be assessed. If further imaging is required, appropriate investigations will be arranged before discussing your personalised treatment plan.
