Professional statement

Mrs Anne Mitchener is an experienced consultant neurosurgeon based in both central London at the Schoen Clinic, and in Esher, Surrey. Mrs Mitchener is an expert in treating degenerative spine including pain in the following regions: back pain (also known as lumbar spondylosis, or degenerative disc disease), neck pain, (cervical spondylosis), arm pain (brachalgia) and leg pain (sciatica).

She offers spinal steroid injection treatment to the facet joints for spinal joint pain, and to the trapped nerves (nerve root block and epidurals). She also undertakes radiofrequency denervation/rhyzolysis treatments. Common surgical treatments she offers include the surgical management of spinal disorders such as slipped/herniated/prolapsed discs with percutaneous minimally invasive cervical discectomy (and fusion) and lumbar discectomy, as well as cervical and lumbar laminectomy for spinal cord compression known as spinal stenosis. Mrs Mitchener also treats abnormal gait (myelopathy), back injuries, spinal/vertebral fracture with kyphoplasty, osteoporosis diagnosed by Dexa scan, and carpal tunnel syndrome (surgically by carpal tunnel decompression)
