I became Chairman of DISCS because I know from personal experience how painful and debilitating back pain can be, as indeed do millions of others.

With the help and leadership of Mr Henry Crock, the Founder of DISCS, and that of other researchers, a considerable amount of progress has been made. The research that we fund will ultimately become cures, perhaps even non-surgical cures, for spinal disorders.

DISCS is a unique organisation in the UK and it fills a large research gap in the medical field.

Much still remains to be done. It can be achieved but we rely upon you for support. I urge you to read the important information in this website and help us to finance the continuing work and play a vital role in ridding the world of such awful suffering.
