Dr. Jason Perrin
Holistic treatment concepts for highly individual back diseases
Neurosurgery specialist Dr. Jason Perrin has been a member of the team of experts in spinal surgery at the ETHIANUM Clinic Heidelberg since the beginning of 2025. Dr. Perrin has more than ten years of experience as a neurosurgery specialist, most of which he spent as a senior physician and head senior physician for spinal surgery at the Neurosurgical University Hospital Mannheim.
Dr. Perrin specialises in minimally invasive spinal surgery using the latest technologies. He is particularly skilled at gentle straightening operations for wear-related spinal curvature or spinal cord tumours. Dr. Perrin’s special empathy for his patients’ problems is also shaped by his own experience: he has undergone several operations himself as a back patient.
Since back problems not only cause physical restrictions but can also often be very psychologically stressful due to severely limited mobility, Dr. Jason Perrin always develops individual, holistic treatment concepts for his clients.
»Every patient needs their own individual diagnosis. Especially when it comes to back problems, details play a crucial role.«
