About

Mr Asif Alrawi, currently works as an NHS Spinal Surgeon, at the Nationally Recognised Spinal Unit at The James Cook University Hospital, offering specialist spinal care and treatments for back pain for patients of all ages.

He listens respectfully, understands fully and creates individualised personalised care plans for each and every person he sees. His experience extends from traditional non-operative treatments to the most advanced and innovative technologies including minimally invasive and robotic spine surgery. He is particularly skilled in the most complex surgeries, including revision spinal surgery for degenerative wear and tear pathologies, when other surgeons have not achieved the right result for their patients the first time.

Mr Alrawi has lectured internationally and published many peer-reviewed medical research articles. This experience and knowledge means he provides the most up to date opinions when consulting with his patients. Mr Alrawi’s research interests centre around rapid rehabilitation following spinal surgery for back and neck conditions. This knowledge means he can get his patients back to good function early after treatment.

He has over twenty five years of experience in his field.
