Thank you for visiting our website which is designed to provide you with the most up-to-date information and advice on back care. As the inventor of the original patented BackRack™ which is a unique aid for relieving back pain, we have proven skills in back care based on 40 years of experience and the successful treatment of thousands of patients. So let's hear the truth:

Spinal disorders should only be treated using proven  techniques practiced by specialists in ORTHOPAEDIC MEDICINE and SPINAL REHABILITATION.
(with almost 100% curability rates).
In other words this means if you have a back problem you are better off seeing a specialist in orthopaedic medicine such as ourselves rather than a doctor or even a physiotherapist. This is because we will invariably know more about spines than any other medical practitioner. We are like an orthodontist who carries out root canal treatment, whereas your dentist would be seen for general problems with your teeth. There are specialists for every field of treatment and this is why our services excel compared to the treatment offered elsewhere.

Non-specialistic care will invariably prove to be ineffective, leading to a loss of time and money while one "does the rounds" in the search for a spinal specialist, while expensive MRI tests and scans will give clinically misleading results. The bottom of the list of 'cures' however  is spinal surgery - which is almost 100% ineffective!
(Only 0.5% of cases
require surgery which means 85,000 patients per year do not need surgical intervention!). Try telling that to your local hospital which depends on income from operations and bed occupancy for their survival.

The silent majority of surgical patients who have been incapacitated for life, and who have to live out their days in wheelchairs, while taking a cocktail of pain-killing drugs to alleviate their misery, do not have a voice with which to warn others. They cannot even afford to sue the hospitals responsible because they would have all been tricked into signing consent forms prior to their operations, without of course being given any idea as to the number of patients whose lives had already been destroyed through such operations such as discectomies and laminectomies etc. Such surgical care and non-specialistic advice is also based on widespread misdisgnoses of the actual cause of the back pain.  Any surgical "success" claims that you may have read about on hospital websites are simply made to lure you into the operating theatre and are false and misleading.

NON-SPECIALISTIC consultants include neuro-surgeons, orthopaedic surgeons, reumatologists, neurologists, and 'pain management' advisors. These practitioners should not be allowed to treat spinal disorders, but the law allows them to do so with disastrous consequences for the poor patients/victims. Chiropractors,  osteopaths, and physiotherapists who treat symptomatically on an 'ad hoc' , 'hit-and-miss'  basis can also unwittingly cause more damage than good. 

The existing system is faulty due to a lack of spinal specialists and a hegemony among surgeons and hospitals that leads to useless operations and deceived patients undergoing 'therapies' by spinal laymen.

Surgery should only be carried out in 0.2-0.3 % of cases, if it all, where major trauma or disease such as cancer is involved. All other complex and chronic cases can ONLY be cured with expert specialist attention: anything else is clinical quackery. Patients who are persuaded to undergo surgical or non-specialist procedures are victims of  institutional negligence and ignorance.

The above treatment regime applies throughout the UK NHS, which is run by unqualified non-specialist 'number-crunchers'. The USA health regime is likewise led by money-grubbing surgeons who collectively deceive more than 800,000 people per annum into having surgery for their back pain, who are then consequently permanently crippled as a result of the operarations.

Phoney implants eg. artificial discs and so-called 'new inventions' for spinal surgery are promoted to a vulnerable clientele.

Back-pain products which are designed by marketing entrepeneurs who have no medical qualifications and who know nothing about the spine, are common (read our section under scam products).

The BACKRACK™  in contrast is a patented medical device that has had 40 years of clinical experience put into it. It is superior to any non-specialistic care or therapies, and   can prevent and even cure spinal deterioration, as well as alleviating back and neck pain.

ALWAYS seek a second opinion from a spinal specialist before making a wrong decision regarding treatment, and stay away from spinal laymen who have never studied the spine. Cheap "quick fix" treatments involving traction and injections etc can be very expensive in the long run, and irreversible permanent damage can and often does occur.

Mobilisation
as advocated and practiced by Professor Maitland incorporates the best techniques for spinal treatment.

ORTHOPAEDIC MEDICINE

The established procedures of Orthopaedic Medicine provide highly effective  non-surgical treatment options for curing a whole range of spinal disorders, according to the well-renowned spinal specialist Mr MB Luklinski - a world authority on spinal care with more than 36 years of practice and founder of the Luklinski Clinic in London.

The efficiacy of orthopaedic medicine cures 99% of cases, whereas surgical treatment may help in less than 1% of cases. Surgery itself has now become a major cause of  chronic pain and life-long disability in thousands of spinal cases - which is why surgery should be avoided at all costs unless you have broken your back.

Mechanical compression of one or more of the spinal nerves or irritation of a nerve root by a bulging disc is a common cause of sciatica, back pain, or numbness in a limb.  Using the safe and gentle procedure of mobilisation (not manipulation), the bulging disc causing the symptoms is coaxed back to its natural position to decompress the affected nerve, or to alleviate any nerve root irritation.  Normalisation of the disc and decompression of the spinal nerve is achieved without surgery using standard procedures of Orthopaedic Medicine.

The surgical approach to treatment however is to remove part or all of a bulging disc to relieve pressure on a spinal nerve. (Note that a 'bulging disc' need only bulge a fraction of a millimetre to cause impingement of a nerve). Surgery leaves the patient with a painful spine incapable of any natural movement, and  the patient soon experiences constant pain and a reduced quality of life due to the consequences of scar tissue and spinal instability. The patient is not told this prior to surgery, and following surgery the patient is left to suffer and does not know how to alleviate the pain. The hospital has made its money and is only interested in performing operations.

If this summary seems unfairly critical of spinal surgery, please read our FAQ below and click on the link to the spine forum. Get the plain truth from those who have already been led into having costly and useless spinal surgery. All the common spinal conditions such as bulging discs, sciatica, scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, and spinal stenosis which surgery tries to cure can be effectively treated non-surgically. The National Health Service should therefore aim towards training more physical therapy practitoners instead of focusing on more 'fashionable' surgical procedures.

We strongly caution our patients and visitors to this website not to agree to surgical procedures such as laminectomy, discectomy, spinal fusion, or IDET, or IDD therapy whether they are performed privately, or on the NHS, because such procedures are neither necessary nor effective as a form of treatment and invariably cause much more harm than the original condition.

We hope to show you via this web site that there is a non-surgical solution to almost every kind of spinal disorder, and that restoring your spine to a normal condition is not so difficult as it first appears. If your medical practitioner confirms that your condition is related to the spine and not to some other cause, such as a duodenal ulcer which can mimic back pain, then please contact us to arrange an appointment for an examination and treatment.

Note: the only SPECIALISTS (click to see list) who are qualified for treating spinal disorders are those who have had a specialist clinical training in this field.
