Welcome

Welcome to The Spine Team Web Site

The Spine Team was started in 2004 by Gordon Linscott and Annette Williams to develop a new approach to the treatment and management of back pain. This website is designed to provide you with information about back pain conditions, back pain research and treatment whether you want to become a patient, are a business looking to provide healthcare for your workforce or simply want to find out more about back pain.

For many years back pain has been regarded as a straightforward disorder, like an injury, which should ‘heal’, however research suggests there is no relation between the causal ‘injury’ and the pain suffered, indeed in many cases there is no injury at all. In spite of this a strategy of treating the pain and ignoring the patient is still practiced and unsurprisingly continues to prove ineffective. The Spine Team focus on the patient working with them to understand what has happened to them and what they can do to help themselves.

The Spine Team is a multi disciplinary team and integrate care for the individual, considering their particular problem and their unique situation, using the patient centred model.  Together Gordon and Annette bring a wealth of experience, expertise and enthusiasm to the treatment and management of back pain, a problem that causes so much pain and disability.
