What our patients say
Here are a few real life stories about some of the patient’s experiences on attending our clinic. If you would like to add your story, please contact reception.
My Back Pain and Neck Pain!
I have suffered pain in my back and down my right leg for about 5 years, more recently; I developed pain in my neck.
I have experienced difficulties in many physical activities as a result of this .i.e. housework, bending, washing my car and walking.
Previous treatments have included physiotherapy with very little improvement and a course of painkillers.
I had not thought of chiropractic treatment until my mother recommended it to me.
I arranged to see Mr Scott-Dawkins and after a short course of treatment I found that I had much less back pain and more movement in my neck.
I was also recommended some simple daily exercises which were easy to do and resulted in me no longer needing painkillers.
I have found chiropractic treatment a life changing experience and would recommend it to anyone without hesitation.

My back pain and leg pain!
For 12 months I had problems with a prolapsed disc which caused me a lot of pain in my lower back, right leg and foot.
I tried pain killers, morphine, physiotherapy, and acupuncture and visited a pain clinic. I had absolutely no results at all. My brother is a chiropractor in Australia and he advised me to try one here. I was a little doubtful at first that it could help me but I am certainly glad that I tried chiropractic.
At first I felt worse but as the treatment progressed I noticed a great improvement. I was recommended to use ice packs, keep my regular appointments and to keep active with regular walking and general moving around.
I have had a full recovery over a period of 6 months and chiropractic was able to help me in a way that the medical profession was not.
I think that everyone should try chiropractic treatment. Give it a chance, it does work!

My Groin Pain
For several months I had been suffering with chronic groin pain which caused me great difficulty in walking. I had tried anti-inflammatory drugs from my GP but they were no good. I also had 5 sessions of physiotherapy but the pain continued.
My GP suggested that a chiropractor might help and a friend told me of your existence. I had a few doubts but I felt desperate and I was prepared to give it a try.
My first impression was that chiropractic was wonderful. I felt that there was somebody who could help me. I had treatment to get the relevant joints and muscles working again and I was also given exercises to do 3 times a day along with the use of ice and heat. I was also told to only play golf from a buggy!
My condition is greatly improved. Within 4 weeks I am walking with no pain and have played 9 holes of golf on foot and have felt great afterwards. Groin pain no longer keeps me awake at night and I can go for a brisk 30 minute walk with no ill effects.
Chiropractic has given me a pain free normal life and also given me back my confidence. I would immediately recommend that anyone visits this practice as it has been a wonderful experience and I am so grateful to be free of pain and have my normal life back. I cannot thank Mr Scott-Dawkins enough.

My Neck, shoulder and Arm Pain!
I had been affected for about 18 months with neck, shoulder and arm pain which really restricted my movements. I had already had two courses of physiotherapy and taken painkillers but had not received any real improvement.
My GP recommended that I see a chiropractor after my condition worsened. I was slightly doubtful as it was a completely new type of treatment for me to try.
I was very impressed by the comprehensive assessment of my problem and Mr Scott-Dawkins recommended regular adjustments, together with gentle exercises.
After just one adjustment I felt some relief from pain and have made a continual improvement. After 4 months I am virtually free of pain and with very little restriction of movement.
Seeing a chiropractor has helped me to return to normal everyday activities without pain and discomfort.
I would say ‘don’t suffer – give chiropractic a try.’ It has helped me so much, that my one regret is that I did not try it sooner. For any future problems, chiropractic will always be my first option.

My 5 years of low back pain!
For approximately 5 years I had suffered with pain in my lower back. The muscles seemed very tight and I had problems getting out of a car or a chair.
I had tried other methods of treatment but with limited effectiveness and I decided to give chiropractic a try. I had private medical insurance and thought anything was worth trying to get the problem sorted.
I felt better immediately and improved after each visit. The only occasional ‘blip’ occurred when I didn’t do the exercises recommended.
Chiropractic treatment has given me more flexibility and mobility. I have no more pain and can play with my children properly. I still visit the chiropractor on a less frequent basis for periodic ‘MOT’ visits to ensure the pain doesn’t come back. I would definitely recommend a chiropractor to anyone.
