Essex Disc & Spine Specialists
A Different Approach to Back Pain, Sciatica and Disc Problems
Persistent spinal pain can affect almost every part of everyday life. Driving becomes uncomfortable. Sitting at work hurts. Sleep becomes disrupted. Exercise becomes difficult. You may find yourself avoiding certain movements because you are worried about triggering another flare-up.
And when the problem keeps returning, simply treating the area that hurts may not be enough.
At VITAL Health, we take a broader approach.
Our team assesses your symptoms, movement, medical history and, where available, relevant imaging to understand what may be contributing to your problem.
Depending on your individual findings, your treatment programme may incorporate advanced technology such as Spinal Decompression or MBST Therapy, alongside Osteopathy, Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, rehabilitation and movement advice.
There is no single treatment programme for everyone. Our goal is to recommend the right approach for you.
“I came to VITAL Health after being diagnosed with spinal degeneration and discovering MBST. After physiotherapy and starting MBST treatment, I’m already seeing improvements and can now walk without a frame. The team are friendly, professional and welcoming. Highly recommended.”

CONDITIONS WE SPECIALISE IN TREATING
Are You Struggling With Any of These?
Back Pain
From persistent lower back pain to recurring episodes that interfere with work, sleep or exercise, we can assess what may be contributing to your symptoms and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
Sciatica
Pain, tingling or discomfort travelling from the lower back into the buttock or leg can sometimes involve irritation of a spinal nerve. Our team can assess your symptoms and determine which treatment options may be appropriate.
Slipped or Herniated Disc
Disc problems can sometimes contribute to back pain, leg pain, nerve irritation, numbness or reduced movement. VITAL Health offers advanced non-surgical treatment options for suitable patients with disc-related symptoms.
Neck Pain
Persistent neck pain can affect sleep, work, driving and everyday movement. We assess the joints, muscles, movement and other factors that may be contributing to your symptoms.
Hip Pain
Hip discomfort may originate from the hip itself, surrounding muscles and tendons or, in some cases, the lower back. A thorough assessment can help identify the likely source.
Knee Pain
From sports injuries and overuse problems to osteoarthritis and persistent knee pain, our team offers a range of assessment, treatment and rehabilitation options.
Arthritis & Joint Pain
Arthritis and joint pain can affect mobility, strength and everyday activities. Our team can assess the joints, muscles and movement around the affected area and recommend appropriate treatment and management options.
If you’ve been told you need surgery, rely on daily painkillers, or feel like you’ve run out of options, we can help!
SPINAL DECOMPRESSION THERAPY
Advanced Spinal Decompression Therapy in Essex
VITAL Health offers Spine MT ATLAS Spinal Decompression Therapy at our Chelmsford and Tiptree clinics.
Spinal decompression uses a specialist computer-controlled system to apply carefully controlled decompressive forces to selected areas of the spine.
The ATLAS system allows treatment to be individually adjusted according to the spinal region being treated, your symptoms and your clinical assessment.
Spinal decompression may be considered for suitable patients experiencing symptoms associated with:
- Slipped or herniated discs
- Disc degeneration
- Sciatica
- Nerve-related leg or arm pain
- Persistent lower back pain
- Certain forms of persistent neck pain
Treatment is not appropriate for every spinal condition, which is why your first step is a FREE Disc & Spine Suitability Call with the VITAL Health team.
WHY THE MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH MATTERS
More Than One Treatment. One Team Focused on You.
One of the biggest advantages of visiting VITAL Health is that your care does not have to be limited to one type of treatment.
Back pain, sciatica, joint pain and musculoskeletal problems can have different causes and different people respond to different approaches.
Our multidisciplinary team can draw upon a range of treatments and rehabilitation strategies to build a programme around your individual needs.
Where clinically appropriate, this may involve one treatment or a combination of different approaches.
WHAT TO EXPECT
Your Journey at VITAL Health
Tell Us What Is Going On
Your journey begins with a conversation about your symptoms, how long they have been present and how they are affecting your everyday life.
Thorough Assessment
Where appropriate, your practitioner will assess your movement, joints, muscles and neurological function and review any relevant scans, imaging or medical information you already have.
Understand Your Options
We will explain our findings and discuss the treatment options we believe may be appropriate.
Personalised Treatment
Your treatment may involve hands-on therapy, advanced technology, rehabilitation or a combination of approaches depending upon your assessment.
MBST Therapy at VITAL Health
Advanced Cell Regeneration Treatment for Arthritis
VITAL Health is also home to MBST Therapy, a magnetic resonance technology which may be considered as part of the management of certain musculoskeletal and degenerative conditions, including Arthritis.
MBST may be considered for some patients experiencing conditions affecting areas including the:
- Spine
- Knees
- Hips
- Shoulders
- Joints
For some suitable disc and spinal patients, MBST may also form part of a broader treatment programme alongside Spinal Decompression, rehabilitation or hands-on treatment.
