French excellence in spine surgery
Franchir brings together France's most respected spine surgeons — neurosurgeons and orthopaedic specialists in back and spinal conditions, chosen for their experience and their results.
A herniated disc, spinal stenosis, scoliosis or chronic pain that wears you down: whatever you're facing, our centres of excellence give you a precise diagnosis and a treatment shaped around you, using the most advanced techniques available.
A careful selection of the very best spine specialists
Our approach rests on three pillars: surgical expertise recognized around the world, leading-edge technology (3D navigation, robotics, minimally invasive surgery) and genuine, human support at every step of your care.
The real cost of waiting

75%less time waiting
60%less risk of worsening
Why endure months of waiting when a few weeks will do?
In Canada, spine surgery often means a 12-to-18-month wait. In the meantime, the pain digs in, your world gets smaller and your spirits take a hit. Franchir turns that around — we trade those long months of waiting for a few weeks of action.
Waiting times finally cut down
Care within 4 to 8 weeks, thanks to a well-honed process and our close partnerships with French centres.
Treatments at the cutting edge
Minimally invasive surgery, 3D navigation, robotics and latest-generation implants — techniques often unavailable in Canada.
A team there day and night
Paperwork, travel, coordinating your care: we're with you before, during and after your procedure, around the clock.
Dedicated pathway
Based in Québec? Here's the Franchir pathway
It all starts with a free consultation in Montréal, with our clinical nurse. Then comes surgery in France, with some of the most experienced surgeons in Europe. And every step of the way, bilingual support that simply feels human.
- A free consultation with our clinical nurse, right here in Montréal
- Access to France's leading surgeons within 4 to 6 weeks
- Full bilingual support, from Montréal all the way to France
- Follow-up after surgery in Québec, coordinated with the French team
All in: 6 to 8 weeks, versus 12 to 18 months in Canada
Which kind of back pain is yours?
Every back pain has its own story, and deserves its own answer. Low back pain that drags on, sciatica that stops you in your tracks, a stubborn stiff neck or a curving spine: our specialists pinpoint exactly what's going on, so you get the treatment that actually works.
Herniated disc
A pinched nerve, with pain shooting down your arm or leg.
Spinal stenosis
A narrowing spinal canal that brings pain and makes walking harder.
Scoliosis & deformities
A curving spine that surgery can correct.
Spinal instability
A slipped vertebra (spondylolisthesis) causing pain and limitations.
Chronic pain
Low back or neck pain that lingers, despite the treatments you've already tried.
Complex cases
Revision surgery, infections, spinal tumours.
