By examining what happens in the older degenerative spine, such as the gradual loss of normal structure and function, Mr Montgomery helps you to understand how to spot the signs and help treat your patients. He discusses the signs and symptoms of specific conditions, such as Stenosis and Spondylolisthesis, and their treatment algorithms. It is also crucial not to miss Myelopathy so we examine the red flags to look out for and how to identify when surgery is urgently needed. Mr Montgomery explains how rehabilitation can improve spinal deformities, and when a patient should be considered for referral.

Lastly, delving into prevention methods, we explore holistic lifestyle changes that your patients can make, such as quitting smoking to decrease the risk of disc desiccation. There are currently intervention techniques being developed to restore or manage the spine, and Mr Montgomery expands on the latest research in the field and where the future of spinal interventions is heading.
