Spine Deformity​

A change in shape of the spine can have many causes. This is a complex problem and as result some of the solutions are also very complex. Often a team approach is required here, working with a team of other consultant colleagues but also involving specialist pain management, physiotherapy and other therapies Mr Marjoram and the team can guide you through the treatment process.

Spine Trauma​

The vast majority of spine trauma is treated in the NHS who are well set up for the unique challenges that trauma can pose. Traumatic injuries to the spine can have wide reaching and long term effects.

Spine Tumours​

Sadly it is not uncommon for tumours to spread to the spine because of its rich blood supply and central position within the body. Mr Marjoram has trained in the bone tumour centre in the Royal orthopaedic hospital. He prides himself on a sensitive, empathetic approach with clear calm communication supporting patients through their treatment process.

Spine Infection​

Infections anywhere in the body can spread to the spine through the blood. The treatment often involves long courses of antibiotic therapy with close monitoring.

Spondylolisthesis​

A term to describe a localised deformity of the spine where one bone moves out of place in relation to its neighbour, the treatment depending on the cause and the symptoms – expert assessment is key here.
