UK-trained · Spine surgery · Minimally invasive treatments for international patients
Back and neck pain affect millions of patients worldwide and are one of the main reasons people seek orthopaedic care. Many international residents and visitors in Costa Blanca experience chronic spine problems that limit their mobility and quality of life.
Dr. Miguel Bañuls, a UK-trained orthopaedic surgeon based in Jávea, Spain, offers advanced spine surgery and non-surgical treatments, applying minimally invasive techniques tailored to each patient’s condition and lifestyle. With more than 20 years of experience, Dr. Bañuls provides personalised care for both local and international patients.
At our practice in Euroclínica Jávea, we diagnose and treat a wide range of spinal conditions, including:
Herniated discs (cervical & lumbar)
Sciatica and nerve compression
Spinal stenosis
Degenerative disc disease
Vertebral fractures
Scoliosis
Failed back surgery syndrome
Chronic back and neck pain
Every patient receives a full evaluation to determine the most appropriate treatment — whether surgical or non-surgical — based on the nature and severity of their condition.
Whenever possible, Dr. Bañuls applies minimally invasive surgical techniques. These modern procedures reduce soft tissue damage, minimise post-operative pain, and allow faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Minimally invasive procedures include:
Lumbar discectomy
Cervical disc replacement
Spinal decompression surgery
Kyphoplasty / Vertebroplasty
Revision spine surgery
Minimally invasive spine surgery is especially beneficial for international patients seeking quicker recovery and less time away from work, travel or family.
Surgery is not always the first solution. Dr. Bañuls offers several non-surgical options to relieve back and neck pain, including:
Epidural steroid injections
Facet joint injections
Nerve root blocks
Sacroiliac joint injections
Radiofrequency ablation (rhizolysis)
Physical therapy guidance
Our goal is always to achieve the best possible outcome while avoiding unnecessary surgery when conservative care is effective.
