Dr John Liddell is a Neurosurgeon based in Subiaco, Western Australia. He works from Suite 210 at St John of God Subiaco Clinic, 25 McCourt Street, Subiaco WA 6008.
Day to day, Dr Liddell looks after people who are dealing with ongoing pain or problems that come from the spine and the nerves around it. This can include headaches, back pain, and neck pain. At times, patients are also referred after a neck injury, or when symptoms suggest something like spinal stenosis.
Appointments often start with a careful check of what’s going on and what might be causing the symptoms. For headaches, that might mean working out how the pain is behaving, what makes it better or worse, and whether there are any warning signs. For back and neck pain, the focus is on the pattern of pain, how it affects movement, and whether there are nerve-related symptoms.
In many cases, people are not sure if they need surgery. Dr Liddell’s approach is about understanding the problem clearly and talking through the options that fit the situation. That can include monitoring and non-surgical care, as well as surgical discussion when it’s appropriate.
Because every body is different, treatment decisions depend on the person, the cause of the pain, and how symptoms are changing over time. If spinal stenosis is suspected, the aim is to confirm what’s happening and make sure the plan is realistic for that person’s health and day-to-day life.
For patients, it helps when care feels steady and practical. Dr Liddell is there to help explain what the findings might mean, answer questions, and guide the next steps. If imaging or other checks are needed, they’ll usually be discussed as part of the work-up.
