Mr. Anantharaju Prasad – Areas of Expertise

  • Degenerative neck and back conditions:  Management of age-related and wear-and-tear spinal problems causing chronic pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Treatment plans are tailored using evidence-based non-surgical and surgical options.
  • Slipped discs and spinal stenosis:  Expert diagnosis and treatment of disc herniation and narrowing of the spinal canal that can cause nerve compression. Care focuses on relieving pain, weakness, and neurological symptoms while preserving spinal function.
  • Spinal trauma and spinal instability:  Treatment of acute and complex spinal injuries resulting from accidents or falls. Emphasis is placed on stabilising the spine, protecting neurological function, and optimising recovery.
  • Complex and revision spinal surgery:  Management of recurrent or previously operated spinal conditions requiring advanced surgical planning. Each case is carefully assessed to achieve the best possible long-term outcome.
  • Brain and spinal emergencies:  Urgent assessment and management of life-threatening neurological conditions. Prompt, precise intervention is provided in line with NHS major trauma protocols.
  • Cranial neurosurgical conditions:  Specialist evaluation of brain-related neurosurgical disorders requiring expert opinion. Patients receive clear guidance on treatment options and timing.
  • Neuromodulation therapies:  Advanced techniques used to alter pain signalling within the nervous system. These treatments are offered following thorough assessment and multidisciplinary discussion.
  • Spinal cord stimulation:  Implantable therapy for selected patients with chronic, treatment-resistant pain. It aims to improve quality of life while reducing dependence on long-term medication.
  • Multidisciplinary, evidence-based care:  Collaborative decision-making involving pain specialists, physiotherapists, and other experts. All treatment follows UK, NICE, and GMC clinical standards for safety and effectiveness.
  • Personalised patient-centred decision-making:  Care is tailored to each patient’s symptoms, lifestyle, and long-term goals rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. Time is taken to explain diagnoses and treatment options clearly, empowering patients to make informed decisions with confidence.
