Specialist Assessment & Treatment Of Spinal Conditions
Spinal conditions can affect mobility, independence and overall wellbeing. Dr Jaytesh Pillay specialises exclusively in the assessment, diagnosis and treatment of spinal disorders, providing personalised treatment planning for both simple and complex spinal conditions.
Understanding Spinal Conditions
The spine plays a vital role in movement, balance and protecting the spinal cord. Spinal conditions can cause back pain, neck pain, nerve-related symptoms, weakness, numbness and reduced quality of life.
Neurological symptoms should never be ignored. Nerve compression can cause progressive changes even when walking remains possible, making early specialist assessment essential. Below are some of the common and complex spinal conditions treated by Dr Jaytesh Pillay.
Complex Spinal Disorders
Challenging spinal conditions that may require advanced surgical planning, modern technology and specialised expertise.
Revision Spine Surgery
Persistent pain or symptoms after spine surgery may require specialist assessment, advanced planning and personalised revision spine surgery.
Scoliosis
Abnormal spinal curvature affecting children and adults. Early assessment helps guide personalised scoliosis treatment and long-term spinal health.
Spinal Deformities
Complex spinal deformities can affect posture, balance and mobility. Specialist treatment focuses on restoring alignment, function and quality of life.
Spine Trauma
Serious spinal injuries require prompt specialist assessment to protect neurological function, restore stability and optimise recovery.
Spine Tumours & Infections
Complex spinal tumours and infections require early diagnosis, specialist treatment and multidisciplinary care to protect spinal function.
Compression Fractures
Osteoporosis can weaken spinal bones and cause painful compression fractures. Early assessment supports recovery and helps prevent further injury.
Lower Back Pain
Persistent lower back pain isn’t always surgical. Specialist assessment identifies the cause and recommends the most appropriate treatment.
Sciatica
Leg pain caused by spinal nerve compression. Identifying the underlying cause is essential for effective sciatica treatment.
Neck Pain
Neck pain may result from disc problems, arthritis or nerve compression. Early diagnosis helps guide effective treatment.
Disc Prolapse
A prolapsed spinal disc can compress nearby nerves, causing pain, numbness or weakness. Treatment depends on symptom severity.
Complex Spinal Disorders
Challenging spinal conditions that may require advanced surgical planning, modern technology and specialised expertise.
