Spinal patients
An integrated service, with orthopaedic surgeons, neurosurgeons,
physiotherapists, dieticians and specialist nurses. Adjacent to the
unit are the physiotherapy gymnasium and hydrotherapy pool, both
staffed by physiotherapists. See
our orthopaedic spinal sub-specialists
Advanced facilities
We have advanced facilities, including thermostatically
controlled and electronically adjustable baths with hoists and
'roll-in' showers. These facilities help those patients in
wheelchairs or those who, following surgery, may have temporary
difficulty lifting themselves in and out of baths.
Foot and ankle
With the arrival of consultant orthopaedic foot and ankle
surgeons, The London Clinic now
offers the full complement of orthopaedic sub-specialties.
Working closely with podiatrist,
Mr Richard
Leigh and a team of physiotherapists, they are able to
provide the complete care of all foot and ankle problems
including sports injuries, complex foot reconstruction and joint
replacement. See
