What to expect from the Children’s Back Pain Clinic
At the first appointment, you and your child can expect to see a consultant orthopaedic and spinal surgeon for an initial consultation. They will review your child’s symptoms and history, and prescribe the investigations needed to reach a diagnosis, such as an X-ray or MRI scan. The results of these tests are then reviewed, and a multidisciplinary team of surgeons, pain consultants and specialist paediatric nurses collaborate to deliver a tailored treatment plan and achieve the best possible outcomes for your child.
