Mr Pollock qualified in medicine from Oxford University in 1990. His neurosurgical career included training in Oxford, Nottingham and London. He was appointed as consultant neurosurgeon at Essex Neurosciences Centre in 2002.
His spinal work is focussed on degenerative disorders in adults , especially the surgical and non-surgical management of neurological symptoms associated with spinal disorders such as brachalgia (arm pain) and sciatica (lower limb pain) resulting from degenerative disease. When surgery is required Mr Pollock places the emphasis on preserving motion in the spine and reducing the patient's time in hospital to the minimum.
