Medical disclaimer
General information only
The content on this website, including condition pages, guides and evidence reviews, is general information about back and neck problems and their treatment. It isn't medical advice for you personally, and it isn't a substitute for an assessment by a qualified healthcare professional who can examine you.
Physiotherapist-led content
Maana Spine is physiotherapist-led. Our clinical content is written and reviewed by physiotherapists, not doctors. A physiotherapy diagnosis is not a medical diagnosis by a doctor. If you need medical care, such as medicines, injections, emergency treatment or surgery, please see a doctor.
Emergencies
This website and our booking channels are not for emergencies. If you have a medical emergency, call 112 or go to a hospital straight away. Don't wait for a clinic appointment or a reply to a message.
Medicines
Don't start, stop or change any medicine based on information on this website. Talk to your doctor first.
Research and results
We summarise research as accurately as we can and link to our sources. Research has limits, and findings from studies may not apply to you. Individual results vary, and no treatment works for everyone. Patient stories describe individual experiences and don't mean you'll have the same result.
Accuracy and updates
We review our clinical pages regularly and show the date each was last reviewed. Health information changes, and despite our care, content may occasionally be out of date or contain errors. If you spot an error, please tell us.
External links
We link to external research and health information. We're not responsible for the content of external websites.
