For Referrers
At Neurospine Institute we offer a multi-disciplinary team approach and continually seek to innovate and improve our service pathways to ensure everyone we treat gets the best possible outcome.
We know it can be difficult for patients in severe pain to access surgeons quickly, so we are excited to announce the launch of our dedicated Acute Disc Service, which aims to help the busy GP, Emergency Physician or Specialist easily refer privately insured or workers’ compensation patients who meet the clinical criteria to get the help that they need, quickly.
For patients that meet the below criteria, they will be seen within 3 working days by Neurospine Institute upon receipt of the referral.
- Acute – sudden onset of pain (within 30 days)
- Severe leg (Sciatica) or arm pain (Brachalgia) in a radiculopathic (nerve) pattern WITH proven nerve compression (on MRI or CT)
- Leg weakness, arm weakness or numbness
*Neck and back pain in isolation is not suitable for this service
Our Forms
Our below referral templates can be easily populated by our referrers in to most medical practice softwares and can be conveniently accessed by these links.
