Dr. Colum Nolan is a Senior Consultant Neurosurgeon with over 15 years of experience, whose practice is dedicated to spine surgery, offering minimally invasive treatment for slipped discs and nerve-related back pain.
His practice focuses on treating disc herniation, spinal stenosis, and related degenerative spine conditions with motion-preserving approaches for quicker recovery and long-term spine health.
