I recently consulted Mr. Malik for acute back pain. He was professional, thorough, and clearly very knowledgeable in his field. He took the time to explain the cause of my pain and discussed treatment options in a clear and reassuring manner. I felt well cared for throughout the consultation and would highly recommend him to all.

Years of Experience
Mr Malik performed decompression spine surgery 4 weeks ago, due to a slipped disc which had caused me sciatic pain (for over 8 months) which was effecting my everyday lifestyle. The surgery was a success (I no longer have leg pain), the scar is neat and I am now recovery with physio. I am extremely grateful to Mr Malik (and the nurses that looked after me pre surgery and the night I was in hospital) for the excellent pre and on the day care.

What Patients Are Saying About Us
Clearly Very Knowledgeable!
Mark Buckley
I Am Now Pain Free!
I had severe pain down my left hand side due to a disc in my neck bulging out and trapping a nerve. Dr Malik explained he would replace the disc releasing the nerve. After the surgery the relief was instant and I am now pain free. So very thankful for his skilled surgery.
Lindsay Crowther
Thoroughly Recommend Mr Malik!
I would thoroughly recommend Mr Malik – he has been excellent during my post spinal fixation surgery. He listened to my concerns and was understanding during my recovery process, clearly explaining where my body was during the last 2.5 years.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a slipped disc?
A slipped disc, also called a herniated or prolapsed disc, occurs when the soft centre of a spinal disc pushes through its outer layer, often causing pain, numbness, or weakness.
What are the common symptoms?
Conditions such as disc herniation, spinal stenosis, sciatica, and nerve compression can often be treated using minimally invasive or endoscopic (keyhole) techniques.
How is a slipped disc treated?
We offer both non-surgical and surgical treatments, including physiotherapy, spinal injections, and minimally invasive or endoscopic (keyhole) surgery where appropriate.
Do I need surgery for a slipped disc?
Not always. Many cases improve with non-surgical treatments. Surgery is considered if symptoms persist or there is significant nerve compression.
Can I book directly or do I need a referral?
You can book directly with MSpine — no GP referral is required.
