  A slipped disc , also called a herniated disc or ruptured disc , is a common spinal condition that occurs when the soft, jelly-like center of a spinal disc pushes through its tougher outer layer and irritates nearby nerves. These discs act as shock absorbers between the bones (vertebrae) of your spine and help you bend, twist, and move freely. When a disc slips out of place, it can cause pain, numbness, or weakness that often affects daily activities. Understanding What a Slipped Disc Is The spine is made up of interlocking bones called vertebrae separated by flexible discs. Each disc has a soft inner core surrounded by a tougher exterior. A slipped disc happens when the inner core bulges or leaks through a tear in the outer layer, putting pressure on spinal nerves. This condition most commonly affects the lower back (lumbar spine) and occasionally the neck (cervical spine) . Common Symptoms to Watch For Symptoms vary depending on which part of the spine is affected: Lower Back...

  If you’ve been battling persistent back or neck pain due to disc problems, spinal decompression therapy at ProBack Clinic could offer the breakthrough you’ve been waiting for. As one of the most effective non-surgical spine treatments available, it helps relieve pressure, restore disc health, and get you moving again — often without the need for invasive procedures.  Spinal decompression therapy What Is Spinal Decompression Therapy? Spinal decompression therapy is a non-invasive treatment that gently stretches the spine using a specialised, computer-controlled traction table. This process reduces pressure on damaged or compressed spinal discs and creates a negative pressure within the disc space — a “vacuum effect” that encourages fluid, oxygen, and nutrients to flow back into the disc. This helps the disc rehydrate, regain height, and begin natural healing.  At ProBack, their state-of-the-art decompression tables can be adjusted for both lumbar (lower back) and cervic...

 If you’re seeking an advanced option to tackle persistent pain that hasn’t responded to rest, medication or more traditional therapies, then K-Laser therapy may provide the breakthrough you’ve been looking for. For back-pain sufferers, athletes, and those at desks all day, K-Laser therapy is establishing itself as one of the most effective drug-free, non-surgical ways to speed healing and restore comfort. In this article we’ll explore what K-Laser therapy is, the conditions it can address, the benefits compared with surgery or long-term medication, what happens during a session, and why choosing the right London-based clinic matters. What is K-Laser Therapy? K-Laser therapy is a modern, medically-certified treatment that harnesses specific wavelengths of light to stimulate the body’s own healing mechanisms. The process is known in scientific terms as photobiomodulation. It works by: stimulating cellular regeneration and metabolic activity; Proback Advanced Back Care incre...

  Sciatica is not simply a back pain – it is a symptom signalling underlying nerve compression or irritation of the large sciatic nerve. The nerve originates from the lower lumbar spine (typically roots L4, L5, S1), merges and travels through the buttocks and down the back of the leg.  When that nerve is pinched, irritated or inflamed, the result can be pain, tingling, burning or weakness radiating from the lower back down one leg.  At our ProBack Clinic in Victoria, London, we specialise in sciatica treatment with a focused, non-surgical, multi-disciplinary protocol. Many patients have experienced meaningful relief after a structured programme of assessment, bespoke therapy and rehabilitation. What causes Sciatica? Though “sciatica” is often used as a condition name, in reality it refers to the pain of nerve-root or nerve-pathway involvement.  Common causes include: Herniated or bulging discs in the lumbar spine that press on a nerve root.  Spinal s...

 Knee pain is a very common complaint — and because the knee joint supports our body weight every day, it’s perhaps not surprising that problems occur. Proback Advanced Back Care Whether you are active or relatively sedentary, understanding the cause, symptoms and what actions to take can make a big difference. Why the knee is vulnerable The knee is more than a simple hinge-joint; it comprises bones, ligaments, cartilage, tendons and fluid-filled sacs (bursae). Over time wear-and-tear occurs, or an injury may trigger a problem. According to ProBack Clinic the knee bears the body’s weight day to day, so “knee injuries are extremely common”. Proback Advanced Back Care For people involved in sports – especially those involving sudden direction changes such as football, tennis or running – the risk is higher. Common causes of knee pain Some of the most frequently encountered underlying issues include: Ligament damage : When you twist or change direction suddenly, one of the knee’s ...

 Arm pain may seem straightforward – but it’s often more complex than just a twinge or ache. Whether it’s your upper arm, forearm, wrist or fingers, discomfort can stem from a wide variety of causes. According to ProBack, the mechanical interplay of your neck, back, nerves and arm is often at the root of what’s going on. Proback Advanced Back Care Why the neck/back matters You might assume that an ache in your arm must originate in the arm itself. But ProBack explain that many cases of arm pain actually stem from nerve compression in the upper back or neck – a condition sometimes referred to as “neck radiculopathy”. When a nerve root is irritated or “entrapped”, it can manifest as pain, numbness, tingling or weakness travelling down the arm – perhaps even into the wrist or fingers. Left vs Right: what to watch One key point to note: if you experience pain in the left arm, while many simple causes exist (e.g., strain or nerve‐related), it can also be a referral...
