Back Pain Clinic

We understand your problem

Back pain is extremely common - about eight in ten people in the UK are affected at some time in their lives. Back pain can affect anyone at any age, although the most common age to get back pain is between the ages of 35 and 55. There are multiple causes of back pain, ranging from poor posture to more severe (less common) conditions such as infection, vertebral collapse, tuberculosis or cancer.

Accurate diagnosis is key

The diagnosis of back pain is generally made by a qualified clinician using:

• A detailed history of how the pain developed and other associated factors
• A thorough clinical examination
• A diagnostic test such as a MRI scan

Early diagnosis means earlier treatment

The Fast Track Clinic offers patients an initial consultation with a leading specialist to discuss your case history and undertake a clinical examination plus a same-day private MRI scan. By offering this same day service Vista reduces patient anxiety and frustration associated with waiting for results and enables patients to begin treatment earlier.

Package prices are available from £450 which represents a 50% saving from the traditional approach of multiple appointments over multiple days.

No referral is required in advance of booking a Fast Track Clinic appointment, unless you wish to reclaim the cost from your Private Medical Insurance in which instance a GP referral will be required. For a small additional fee we can include a GP assessment in your appointment if one is required by your insurer – please just request this at time of booking.
