Circle Reading Hospital provides specialized ALIF - Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion with a focus on relieving lumbar pain, restoring spinal stability, and maintaining appropriate spinal alignment. Established in 2012, the accredited hospital is located in Reading, United Kingdom and operates beds with modern neurosurgical and orthopedic spine facilities.

ALIF (Anterior Lumbar Interbody Fusion) is a spinal fusion procedure performed through an incision in the abdomen to access the lumbar spine from the front. The damaged intervertebral disc is removed and replaced with an interbody implant or cage, often along with bone graft material, to help restore disc height and promote fusion between adjacent vertebrae. The procedure may be considered for selected cases of degenerative disc disease, spinal instability, or certain forms of spondylolisthesis.
