In 2017, during a holiday in Norway, hiking the UNESCO Pulpits Rock, I slipped and felt a tearing sensation in my pelvis. The realisation of potential injury was undeniable.
Upon returning to the UK, I was confined to a pelvic brace for about eight weeks, yet something still felt amiss. Seeking clarity, I underwent MRIs which unveiled two disc injuries resulting in sciatica.
This personal experience made me realize the gaps in our understanding and treatment of disc injuries, both within our profession and the medical field. Determined to make a difference, I delved into research, attended courses, and audited our systems.
Over the past five years, we have developed a comprehensive protocol for patients like myself who suffer from disc pain and sciatica, filling the knowledge gaps and advancing our technology.
Now, launching the first specialist disc clinic in the UK, called The DISC Chiropractors, we are excited to share our expertise and help others overcome these debilitating conditions.
