We’ve Been Helping People Take Control of Their Back and Neck Pain for Over 30 Years

Sussex Back Pain Clinic was founded in 1990. We started in a small, rented room on a portable table, with one simple aim: To help people overcome the misery of back pain. Our goal is to help you improve your spinal health for good, and transform your story.

So first, let us tell you ours...

Starting Point

It All Started With an Injury...

Founder Steve Morris had received his fair share of injuries growing up. But it was an excruciating back injury during one of his final rugby games before national level trials that saw him end up in A&E—where he was told to stop playing rugby altogether. Seeking a different opinion, Steve was referred to an osteopath. After treatment, talking, enquiring, and the cover-to-cover reading of an osteopathy textbook, Steve realised this was the profession for him. He enrolled in the British School of Osteopathy, and moved up to London to begin his study.

Our Clinic Begins Its Story

Fresh out of University, Steve returned to Brighton and started practising osteopathy. He secured a job in a large osteopathy practice as an associate, where he worked full time during the week. But Steve was committed. So, in the evenings and on weekends he worked in his own clinic, using a portable osteopathy table in a rented room lent out by a local dentist. This was the beginning of Sussex Back Pain Clinic.

Building Our Foundations

Within a few years, the practice was thriving as a full-time venture, renting two full-time rooms at the same dental practice. Through building our patient base we discovered that a worryingly large number of people were living with chronic back and neck pain without any long-term hope in sight. We’d found our focus, and had big plans to expand our services.

Sussex Back Pain Clinic Is Founded

The practice was growing, so we finally bid farewell to the dental clinic, and moved to self-contained premises at 58 New Church Road, Hove—which is still our home today. This move allowed us to bring on more osteopathic specialists, and a massage therapist, all working together as the newly-branded Sussex Back Pain Clinic. We’d achieved the scope to develop into a truly specialised spinal care clinic!

Growing a Greater Practice

Sussex Back Pain Clinic continued to expand. We continued to bring more specialist osteopathic staff and clinic staff into the team, and opened up our doors on the upper floor of our current building. We expanded our treatment rooms from two to six, greatly increasing the number of patients we could see, allowing us to help more people live a pain-free life.

Innovations in Our Care

As part of our commitment to helping our patients overcome chronic spinal disc pain, we discovered IDD Therapy, a US-based system that used specialist computer technology to identify and determine where and how pressure was causing disc pain—and how to treat it at the source. Sussex Back Pain Clinic became one of the first clinics in the UK to start using an IDD Therapy Machine. This allowed us to offer our patients a completely non-invasive alternative to surgery or spinal injection, meaning we could now help treat the full spectrum of spinal conditions.
