Back pain is one of the most common issues treated by medical practitioners, affecting up to 85% of people at some time in their lives. It can be caused by bending awkwardly, poor lifting technique, overstretching, twisting, prolonged periods of sitting down for example at desk based work, or accidents such as falls or road traffic accidents. Low back pain can also cause referred symptoms down into your buttock and legs (known as sciatica). Whatever the cause, getting treatment is important to alleviate pain, provide advice on how to keep active in the meantime, as well as preventing recurrence of injuries in the future.

What a fab practice - from reception who raised my query with the GPs, arranged for me to email details through, and then to the GP (Dr Peck) calling me back the same day with a treatment plan and advice. Real service and empathy.
I was very impressed by the staff in the private GP services and the service offered. They made sure my concerns were settled and approved all my terms therefore, I'd always consider and recommend this place.
The receptionist was lovely and helped me get an appointment the same afternoon. Staff were highly professional, polite and friendly. Dr was extremely engaged and didn’t feel rushed in my appointment, will definitely be booking again in the future.
