Chronic back and neck pain is amongst the most debilitating types of pain a person can have, and often the solution doesn’t need to involve surgery.

Take Fedhealth member Jack, for example. When an old rugby injury from high school kept flaring up and causing him to suffer from lower back pain every day, he seriously considered spinal surgery. Fortunately, his GP was familiar with Fedhealth’s Conservative Back and Neck Rehabilitation Programme that’s available to qualifying members, and advised that he complete the programme first. 

Following assessment and treatment by a GP and physiotherapist, and doing the recommended exercises with appropriate weights and motions over six sessions, Jack was once again pain-free and is now enjoying an active lifestyle again.
