Proback Clinics Reviews 

Firstly, I would like to thank Dr Christian Allard and his gorgeous wife Dipa Allard, for founding this clinic and for having such an awesome team of specialists.

My journey with Proback, Victoria, began at the end of May 2024, and I will arrive at the end of my treatment by the end of October.
I received shock-wave and decompression treatments for sciatica and spinal realignment.

My journey began with my desperate search for someone who could help rid my body of the sciatica I had been experiencing for a number of years. Prior to discovering Proback, I had tried various therapies and treatments but nothing helped for long and I found myself living with constant leg, hip and lower back pain.

After my initial consultation with Proback, I knew I had made the right call; because at Proback, your initial consultation includes two visits: first you have your x-rays taken, secondly you see the results of said x-rays and have a discussion with a specialist.
This is where I had a major epiphany! When I saw my x-rays my jaw dropped because I was then able to see the condition of my spine which clarified the problems I was experiencing with my body. More than that, after my consultation with Probacks Managing Practitioner, Mr Arlind Cela, I reached a better understanding of where my pain was coming from. Mr Cela is no ordinary practitioner; this man is a miracle worker when it comes to the body and mind: I have had counselling over the years owing to PTSD and no other specialist has been able to do for my body and mind what Arlind Cela has done. In fact, every multi-disciplined practitioner I came into contact with at Proback, seemed to have something magical about them, so much so that after a few occasions of having
Mr Shola Adedo provide me with shock-wave therapy, I requested to have him as a constant because he just seemed to know were my discomfort was every time I saw him!
Everyone who works at Proback Victoria, are lovely, kind, patient and generous.

To say that Proback gave me my body and mind back is no overstatement: Arlind Cela, Shola Adedo, Ophelia, Damanie and Dimitar are among the team of amazing specialists that are literally worth more than gold! I have gone from experiencing discomfort in my yoga classes to (now) being able to participate in yoga, pilates, spin and even zumba
life can be so joyless when we experience physical pain and it's crazy to think that some people believe that they have to live with it owing to a physical defect, age or wear and tear but Proback clinic proves that we do not have to live with our pain; something can be done about it and there are specialist out there to help. I am so grateful to have discovered Proback because they have provided me with a new way of treating my mind and body. Thank you Proback

It’s important I write a review which is reflective of my experience. After experiencing sudden lower back pains I came here for an appointment. I was seen by someone who too the x-ray and he even indicated to me that my condition might be worser than it is - this only added to my anxiety. I was then seen my a woman who explained my results and indicated I had needed further treatment which if I recall is around £1600. Then finally you have the receptionist who followed up countless times to try and see if I would go on the treatment plan. What do they all have in common? Prioritise money/profits over patient safety. I then went on to see a physiotherapist and he advised me on a stretching and exercising program. The result? Immediately I saw the pain go away naturally and never looked back since. I would advise to avoid at all costs.

Prior to discovering Proback, I had tried various therapies and treatments such as chiropractic, acupuncture, physiotherapy, deep tissue massages and even reiki. None of said treatments helped for long and I found myself living with constant leg, hip and lower back pain.

It’s been a journey, but really worth. All practitioners were helpful. Happy with results that we reached all together. A massive thank you

I recently visited Proback for treatment of sciatica and posture issues, and I am incredibly impressed with the results. From the initial consultation, Christian took the time to thoroughly understand my condition and tailor a treatment plan specifically for my needs. His approach was both professional and compassionate, making me feel comfortable and confident in the care I was receiving.

After just a few sessions, I noticed a significant reduction in my sciatica pain and an improvement in my posture. Christian used a combination of adjustments, exercises, and practical advice to help me achieve long-lasting relief.

I highly recommend Proback to anyone suffering from sciatica or posture-related issues. Their expertise and dedication to patient care are truly exceptional.

I have been attending Proback for a few months now all the staff are amazing and so lovely to deal with. You are greeted by the reception team Nessa, Claudia & Connie to name a few who are all lovely and a pleasure to deal with the practice manager Dipa is also lovely the whole reception team are all a pleasure to deal with, the chiropractors themselves are very knowledgeable and lovely also, they actually listen to what symptoms you have and any feedback you give them regarding your symptoms and changes in your symptoms.

I have been suffering lower back issues since around 2013 and have been unable, to work since early 2018 due to being in constant unbearable pain.
I even had back surgery in 2019 which initially seemed positive but I could tell something was wrong but no one would listen to me, I even got told I should see a phycologist however 18 months after the back surgery I developed almost constant debilitating lower back muscle spasms, in late 2022 I started noticing a weakness below the knee causing me to severely twist my right ankle at the end of 2022.
At the end of 2023 I started developing what I now know is sciatica-like symptoms then at the beginning of the 2024 I also started to lose the ability to walk and I am now reliant on crutches whenever I leave my home. I have lost count how many consultants I have actually seen telling me there is nothing obvious wrong with my back and I need to focus on rehab exercises. I have done over 5 years of rehab exercises under the care of multiple Osteopaths, Physio and even a PT after being told my symptoms are not spinal.
However, I decided to come Roback after doing some research and getting fed up of being told there is nothing obviously wrong with my back when I could tell it’s my back causing my issues, it’s the best decision I have made in a long time.
I usually initially see Arlind the Managing Practitioner he is very knowledgeable and such a lovely guy usually followed by either Shola or Dimitar who are also both very knowledgeable and lovely. Ophelia tends to do my reassessments she is also knowledgeable and lovely. I have it’s also had treatment with a few other practitioners for example Damanie is also very knowledgeable and lovely in fact the whole team is amazing.

Although I am not 100% yet I feel like we are on the right track to pin pointing the exact source of my main issues and very close to figuring out how best to treat them hopefully meaning I have a much better quality of life. For example, my sciatica-like symptoms and pain are much less than it was previously I even had a few days last week where I could walk without crutches for short distances.

I can honestly say I have had better results with Proback over a few months than I have had over the last 5 years with multiple consultants, chiropractors, osteopaths and physios etc. THANK YOU.

I came to the clinic with chronic sciatica and in great pain. I found Proback to be very efficiently run and its staff concerned and caring. After 18wks of treatment I am functioning again so my experience has been a very positive one.

I’d just turned 69 in September 2023 when I injured my lower back while carrying a heavy box up a narrow staircase.
Within two hours the pain in my lower back and down my right leg was indescribable. I couldn’t stand, sit, walk or even lie down without severe and constant pain.
Before my injury I was very active - I visited the gym at least three times a week, swam, rode a bicycle and, in the summer, played cricket every weekend.
But within a day my posture had changed drastically, with my spine bent severely to the right (by 32 degrees).
I saw my GP who prescribed strong painkillers and referred me to a physiotherapist, who merely printed out some exercises - almost all of which I was physically unable or in too much pain to do.
I was left with no option but to pay for my own diagnosis and treatment.
I arranged an MRI scan and x-rays (which indicated that I had one or more prolapsed discs and/or a trapped nerve) and saw three chiropractors, an osteopath and finally an orthopaedic surgeon. The surgeon recommended a laminectomy, the shaving of the vertbra(e) to create space for the prolapsed disc to stop it impinging on the sciatica nerve. The op would involve cutting through three muscles to expose the area to be treated and recovery would take between three and six months.
I asked whether the op would restore my back to the state it was in before I injured it and whether I would be able to continue with my active lifestyle. The surgeon said there were no guarantees.
After my consultation, I Googled details of the op and also spoke to several friends who are GPs. I concluded that, despite the constant agony that I was in, the chances of a successful outcome on my terms was less than 50 per cent. Considering the associated risks involved, I decided that I would do whatever I could to avoid going under the knife.
It was around this time that an advert for ProBack appeared on my iPhone - probably because my of constant internet search for cures/relief of my sciatica/lower back pain. I read about spinal decompression and noted that the aim was to stretch apart the vertebrae to create more space for the trapped disc, or free a trapped nerve. In other words, the aim was the same as the op but without the disadvantages of surgery. ProBack also stated a 90 per cent success rate, which were also much better odds than surgery.
Cost was another consideration. The basic op with some aftercare would have cost between £11,000 and £12,000. While no one at ProBack was able to estimate if my treatment would be successful or how long it would take, from what I had read someone with my injury could expect to pay around £3,000.
The first consultation with ProBack, which included x-rays, was also on special offer, so I signed up.
Despite the agony than I was in, the treatment itself - shockwave followed by decompression - did not hurt. But despite 18 treatments for twice a week I felt no real benefits and was still in constant pain.
But after my eighteenth treatment I woke in the night in intense pain in my lower back and right leg and foot. This lasted an hour during which I took painkillers and applied four ice packs. I eventually fell asleep and woke the next morning feeling that something has eased in my back. The pain was still there but at a much more manageable level.
I have subsequently had five more decompression treatments and my pain has lessened each time.
I have now, at the suggestion of my ProBack treatment supervisor, switched to once a month decompression sessions while I undergo back strengthening exercises at my local gym.
X-rays reveal that the disc spaces between my vertebrae and the lateral displacement of my spine are back to normal.
My pain level has massively reduced and I now have my life back - all without the dangers and uncertainty of surgery.

Suffered with stubborn back pain for many years and had tried many treatments to no avail, until I found a superb all round successful treatment with Proback! The shockwave therapy worked wonders for me!
Can’t recommend them enough! Staff were excellent to match the treatment too!

I honestly thought after weeks of treatment elsewhere, lack of help from the NHS and other so called professionals, that I would never go back to a normal life where I could function in society. Thankfully, I was recommended ProBack and the treatment, albeit painful at the start, has been life changing. I can now walk pain free and stand upright. The practitioners are all lovely, especially Yohanis and I will be forever grateful that I am now myself again, rather than the terrified individual who walked through their doors in Victoria! Thank you all so much!

This clinic was a God send, the staff were really friendly, professional and kind. I was in a lot of pain, I was misdiagnosed with sciatica so had been doing the wrong things to recover. This was addressed straight away and proper treatment was taken. I've been feeling so much better and can move without pain again. I highly recommend this clinic.

I had been struggling with very sharp neck pain for a few years now, finally I decided I had enough and booked an appointment here at Proback Victoria. They were able to get me an appointment on the same day and I have been getting treatments for the last seven months. Since I started treatments I have had no neck pain whatsoever. Everyone at this clinic is friendly, kind and know exactly what they are doing. I never had a bad experience despite visiting sometimes more than once a week. They allow you to book appointments months in advance which was helpful for me to plan a regular time for my appointments. I cannot recommend Proback Victoria more. They provided the highest level of care and I am so grateful.

My experience at Proback Clinic has been one of great relief from pain. At my first appointment I was close to tears as my pain had got the better of me. Few weeks later, I felt mentally and physically better and my anxiety had disappeared.

The customer service provided is extremely professional. Everyone from reception staff to the practitioners are friendly and caring. They provide a personalised service which is very refreshing. I am thankful to all the practitioners, especially Arlo who has been really great with helping me with
my treatment. Thank you.

I would definitely recommend Proback clinic without a doubt.

Proback Clinic has given me my life back, from arriving there in my wheelchair, my back totally out, could not stand up at all and bent towards my left side and over. With the Shockwave Therapy and the Radio Frequency Therapy I am able to walk up straight, bend, move, and am now nearly pain free. From the 1st x-rays and the 2nd x-rays so much improvement. The Staff are all miracle workers. Very professional service. I have referred my parents too for treatment. I would refer anybody to them.

Proback has helped me tremendously.

I have experienced great customer service and helpful treatment ever since I started. To be specific, receptionists’ Nesa and Claudia have consistently been very helpful in organising appointments and even fitting me in with the practitioners whenever I wasn’t able to attend at the agreed time. Their attitude towards helping customers is very refreshing. Regarding the service of treatment. Abdul and Dimitar are brilliant practitioners and are very good at what they do. They have helped me decrease the pain in my back enormously.

I would recommend Proback clinic to anyone due to their impeccable customer service from their receptionists and also their Therapy service from all their practitioners.

I have no bad words to say.

I’m a landscape gardener and in early December 2023 I was experiencing very painful lower back problems.
Unfortunately my doctor was unable to help and the NHS waiting list was going to be several months.
I found ProBack on the internet late on a Thursday evening, called them and had my first consultation and X-rays the next day.
My treatment started 2 days later and every week for the next 4 months.
I had lost much of the curve in my lower spine and had compacted discs.
Every Tuesday afternoon I would arrive at the clinic for shockwave treatments and decompression. I was always on time and never had to wait. The reception staff were amazing. They were beyond polite and the most efficient team I’ve ever met.
The therapists were absolutely incredible and over the ensuing weeks and months they worked their magic. I was massaged, stretched and given an exercise regime as well as a rather unique lumber cushion.
I had my final consultation and X-ray results a week ago and despite feeling amazing I was a little nervous.
I couldn’t believe it when I compared the before and after X-rays of the curve in my spine. It had corrected itself by 30% and was almost back to where it should be.
I have another check up in a few weeks time and in the meantime I will continue with the exercises and lumber cushion. I’m no longer in pain and my posture has improved significantly.
The team at ProBack in Victoria are absolutely amazing and I would recommend them 100%. Thank you.
