Chronic Back or Neck Pain Programme

Chronic back and neck pain affects millions of people in the UK and can have a significant impact on quality of life, work and activity. If your pain has been present for more than three months, or if you have a recurring condition that keeps coming back, you have chronic pain by clinical definition.

This programme is designed for patients who have been struggling with persistent spinal pain, whether or not they have had previous treatment. Many of our chronic pain patients have seen GPs, physiotherapists or chiropractors elsewhere without lasting benefit. Our senior clinicians and specialist spinal team are experienced in these complex presentations.

Does This Describe You?

• You've been suffering with back or neck pain for a long time.
• You're experiencing frequent or continuous stiffness and aching, and aren't sure what to do or who to ask.
• You're frustrated that your pain is making simple things, like walking or getting up from a chair, difficult.
• You just want to get back to normal and do the things you love as soon as possible.
• You've tried medication or other therapies such as physiotherapy, chiropractic, massage or osteopathy, and these have had little effect.
• You're worried your pain isn't going to get better, and it's really getting you down.

Who This Programme Is For

This programme may be right for you if you are experiencing:

• Back or neck pain that has persisted for more than three months
• Spinal pain that keeps coming back after periods of improvement
• Ongoing stiffness, reduced mobility or functional limitations
• Pain associated with degenerative disc disease, facet joint changes or stenosis
• Spinal pain that has not responded adequately to other treatment
• A wish to reduce reliance on pain medication, avoid injections or explore non-surgical alternatives

The Five-Step Treatment Programme

What to Expect

Chronic conditions take longer to respond than acute ones. Significant improvement is typically seen within 6 to 10 sessions, with the programme usually running over 8 to 16 weeks depending on severity. Many patients continue with periodic maintenance treatment to keep on top of their condition long-term.

We will give you an honest assessment of your prognosis after your first appointment. If your condition is beyond the scope of conservative treatment, we will tell you and help you access the right specialist referral.
