"Spine fusion L5 /S1"

About: Orthopaedics & Spine Specialist Hospital Site

After a accident at work I was suffering from a prolapsed disk my local hospital in Preston would not offer me any help or a procedure to free my pain ,

I contacted Peterborough spine hospital and asked to see specialist for a second opinion

In April 2017 the specialist performed a lumbar spine fusion L5 /S1 and I went from using crutches and barley being able to walk at Christmas 2016 to walking again straight after my operation .

The staff at Peterborough spine hospital was amazing and so helpfully

I returned today for my 4 month post opp appointment and specialist said I have healed really well and now I am

Fit enough to return back to work as a gas engineer .

5 star for the staff and specialist , can't thankyou enough .

Regards Mr Joseph Ashworth
