PEDRO NUNNES
Clinical Director of the Lapa Spine Center (CCL).
CCL is dedicated to the study and treatment of various spinal pathologies, integrating cutting-edge technology and a patient-centered approach focused on the specific spinal conditions they suffer from.
The main areas of interest include minimally invasive spine surgery, particularly in the treatment of intervertebral disc herniation, traumatic and tumoral pathologies of the spine.
“I dedicate my career to the treatment of spinal injuries and diseases, guided by a commitment to restoring movement, confidence, and quality of life to each patient. The experience accumulated over the years allows me to deeply understand each case, establish accurate diagnoses, and select the most appropriate and safe therapeutic approach. The true added value of my consultation lies in this combination of specialization and exclusive dedication, which allows me to continuously refine my technique and offer differentiated care—humane, rigorous, and focused on excellent results.”
