Dr Hammond is 'in press' in the British Pain Society, Pain News, with the results of a 100-patient outcome study of the results of DISC-FX treatment in chronic back pain.  These are the results of everyday care in Dr Hammond’s clinic amongst the first 100 sequential cases treated with the new DISC-FX disc decompression system.  

This is the largest series of such cases in the world literature.  Patients had suffered an average 5 years of pain with many over 10 and one up to 40 years. These results represent high grades of successful outcome in cases which had been seen by numerous clinicians over many years without effective diagnosis and treatment. Published literature shows benefits are stable long-term. For more information, please get in contact via The London Clinic.
