Spine Service is located in Kogarah, Southern Sydney, adjacent to the St George Public and Private Hospitals. The service is composed of a multidisciplinary team consisting of surgeons, pain physicians, sports physicians, physiotherapists and pain psychologists, and offers a holistic approach to the management of your spinal problem.
