Questions
FAQ
Will I need surgery for a herniated disc?
Usually not. Most people with a herniated disc improve with time, activity advice, physiotherapy and medicines. Surgery is discussed when leg pain or nerve symptoms do not settle, or when there is significant weakness.
What is a lumbar discectomy?
It is an operation to remove the part of a herniated disc that presses on a nerve in the lower back. A microdiscectomy does this through a small incision using a microscope. Your surgeon will explain whether it suits you, the expected recovery and the risks.
How long is recovery after a discectomy?
Recovery is different for everyone. Many people walk on the day of surgery and increase activity gradually over the following weeks. Your surgeon and physiotherapist will give you a personal plan for work, driving and exercise.
What should I bring to my first visit?
Please bring identification, any MRI, CT or X-ray images and their reports, and a list of your current medicines.
Can my MRI be reviewed before I visit?
Yes. Book an online imaging review and share your images and reports. The doctor will explain what they show and whether an examination is needed.
Can I cancel or change my appointment?
Yes. Sign in to the patient portal to cancel or reschedule, or call the clinic.
