J.G.

“You have been, for the last 10 months an enormous help in finding my health and my lifestyle. Your treatment has given me the confidence, that to obtain a healthy body, a lot of                                   responsibility is in my own hands…’

S.M.

“Thank you Paul for relieving the pain in my shoulder and arm, which was becoming unbearable. I love dancing and the pain was spoiling my enjoyment. I was also getting pain in my left leg, which has also disappeared. I am now able to dance again 4 times a week and ride my bicycle round the village to shop.”

J.C.

“After having severe back pain and at one stage being unable to get out of bed for 2 weeks…the spinal care Paul has given me in the last 10 months, has helped me to maintain a normal everyday life, being able to do most everyday ‘things’ and enjoying them without any pain because I can move much more freely now. Thank you Paul.”

M.K.

“Paul…you are the only person to achieve positive results in treating my chronic back pain. My ‘severe’ pain has now changed to ‘mild/unnoticeable’! A real result! You have given me back the freedom of movement and without pain, and I can’t thank you enough.

I will continue with chiropractic care…”

E.E.

“Dear Paul, I am writing to thank you for making me feel better as I can now walk to and from my garden shed without having to rest before I come back. I do feel as if I can now do more without stopping so frequently which is good progress, my next target is to go to Marks & Spencer which will make my day. Thank you.”

G.G.

“Paul,

I cannot thank you enough for the advice and help you have given me over the past 4 months. Having a course of Chiropractic has given me back a large degree of mobility which I thought would be unobtainable. I am feeling so much better all round, no longer needing to take some prescribed medicine, because chiropractic has released the natural healing process. There is no doubt that the incentive to discipline myself into undertaking regular exercise came from you and has been extremely effective.

I intend to use the ‘tools’ you have given me to continue to improve my general health and in particular to improve my mobility even further. I am sure I can only benefit through working with you and regularly using chiropractic.

Once again many thanks for your advice and expertise.”

P.M.

“I have suffered back pain on and off for the past 30 yrs. I have moved several times in the last six years and have visited several Chiropractic Clinics. The simplest movement puts my back out so, so when it happened a few weeks ago my husband phoned and made an appointment for me.

On my first visit I met Paul, he was very helpful and stated that he would be able to help me. I have had several appointments and my back problem has greatly improved. I am now doing regular exercise to keep my body supple.”

S.M.

“At the beginning of April (’02) I decided to visit a chiropractic clinic to see if any help could be given me. For many years I have suffered with a weak ankle causing me to have numerous falls resulting in damage to my body including cracked ribs and a broken wrist. I felt my health had deteriorated and I was no longer able to enjoy life because of pain.

Paul was able to diagnose the problem and after a few weeks I was able to turn my head and move my shoulders fully without pain. After a few months my health and quality of life had greatly improved. I can walk further and even touch my toes! My body is more flexible than it has been for years. Thank you Paul for your help.”

E.F.

“As my writing is not always discernible I took to the computer, I came full of trepidation not knowing the outcome of my visit for it was to rid myself of intensive back pain that I was suffering.

Some three months later and the constant attention from a chiropractor – Paul – I think we have succeeded, I feel better, can walk better (although not to the standard of running and jumping) hope still remains high.

With sincere thanks.”

J.E.

“Dear Sirs,

I feel I must write a few lines to say after three weeks of Chiropractor treatment how much I have benefited at your clinic. With the treatment Paul has given me I am able to walk with much less pain in my leg for more than three years.

I hope the good results will continue.”

 J.S.

“Being that I had problems with my neck and part of my back. The stiffness and numbness plus sometimes painfulness was getting me down.

Since finding out about the natural way to healing the problems I had are much better and I feel like a new person.

“To whom it may concern:

Re: Paul                    CHIROPRACTIC

I am pleased to recommend Paul to future clients for the following reasons:

  1. His efficient and precise application of theory and practical skills as proven by the improvement in my condition.
  2. His abilities in explaining the process and providing appropriate, effective exercises, with encouragement.
  3. His skill in combining professionalism with a caring attitude to clients.”

J.A.

“When I first visited the clinic I was suffering quite badly with pain and stiffness in my legs and back. After six months of treatment with Paul, I can say that these pains have been much reduced, and my walking has improved considerably.”

“Dear Paul

Just a few thoughts following on from yesterday’s conversation.

It is difficult for me to express what made me decide to go ahead with the chiropractic treatment. All the elements in the diagnostic package were helpful…the movement assessments gave me useful information about how my body works and the X-ray confirmed what you were saying, although I was already aware of some things like having one leg shorter than the other. There was a lot of information to take on board. I still sometimes wonder if I missed some of it! All in all it was quite a traumatic experience for me.

I was disappointed, even alarmed at the findings. I have always tried to take care of myself even under the most difficult circumstances. I eat well, exercise a little, I don’t smoke, rarely drink alcohol, have never done drugs but here I was being told that despite my efforts I still had muscular/skeletal problems, albeit mild ones. If anything tipped the balance in favour of accepting the treatment it is my mother’s medical history. There hasn’t been a time when my mother hasn’t suffered with debilitating back and medical problems; I can remember the day when she couldn’t dance anymore. I wanted my life to be different.

To begin with I wanted to repair any damage I thought I may have done to my shoulder and be able to use it properly again. I was in pain and wasn’t getting much sleep most nights. I can’t honestly say that at the outset I believed I would benefit from anything more than getting my shoulder back to normal and maybe improving my general posture and mobility. If I had listed all my medical and trauma history (even if I could have remembered it all at one time) I would have needed rather more paper and time to complete it! At the time I probably didn’t think it was relevant. As my mobility improved little things that I had dismissed as trivial complaints began to slowly diminish or disappear altogether over the course of the year. I feel so much better, healthier and fitter now than I have been in a very long time. Friends and colleagues have commented on the difference.

Chiropractic treatment had been a psychological and physical catalyst for many other positive developments in my life. You have contributed to that. Whatever you say, all doctors and therapists are different – even Josh noticed that. Neither he nor I would be happy to be treated by anybody.”

Fr D.W.

“My recent course of treatment has made a considerable difference. I have seen a reduction in the frequency and severity of headaches and a definite improvement in the pains in my neck and arms, which had been virtually constant and made driving very difficult.”

E.B.

“To Paul

I came to you with intense pain in my shoulder and limited movement in my arm, within two weeks the pain had eased and I had a lot more movement. The side benefits of the treatment have been enormous, my headaches and dizziness have all gone and I can now walk, quite briskly, without getting out of breath, in fact, there has been great improvement in my general health.

I really cannot find words to express my heartfelt thanks.”

D.C.

“As a sceptic, chiropractic treatment was my last resort. How I wish that it had been my first option!

I had spent three and a half years in immense pain coupled with greatly reduced mobility and bouts of temporary paralysis. Not once had the doctors or so-called specialists within the NHS suggested I try chiropractic treatment, so naturally when a work colleague recommended it to me I was more than dubious as to its benefits. Indeed it took eight months for him to persuade me to make an appointment with Paul…for an assessment.

I have now been receiving treatment for one month and already the benefits are overwhelming. I now have increased mobility…is the first real relief I have had in over three years!!

If only I had listened to my work colleague sooner!”

 R.W.

“He is very polite and so helpful, he has relieved me from the pain, and I am so pleased to be able to walk well!”

Testimonial

“Although I have only been visiting Paul for about a month or two I have seen a complete transformation in my everyday life. As a student of 17 I was sceptical about the volume of benefits that chiropractics could hold for me but I was desperate for help as I was suffering constant head aches and back problems that could only be partially covered up by painkillers and I knew I needed a more permanent solution.

My treatment began and within only a couple of weeks the symptoms had gone and Paul told me the underlying problems were improving too. I felt a totally different person, the hours of studying I am doing now for my A level exams would not have been bearable before and I would normally be watching the clock for the earliest time I could take my next dose of painkillers!!

Now I have various exercises that I can do before and after my exams and the strain is greatly reduced. I have thoroughly enjoyed my chiropractic experience so far and look forward to Paul making a continual contribution to the improved quality of my life.

Thank you very much for your professional and talented practices and you will not be getting rid of me for a long while yet! (Something my Father is still coming to terms with as he has another year until I am off to university!)

J & M B.

“Hi Paul and team,

We would like to pass on our sincere thanks to Paul for seeing JB as a visiting patient on Monday 30th August. We appreciate that a ‘flying’ visit isn’t ideal for total patient care or for your convenience, and wish to thank you for your time and the appointment.

As mentioned on the day, we unfortunately have not come across another Chiropractor as thorough as Paul, and we were very impressed with the whole appointment and thoroughness, and hope to find someone in our area who can assist in a similar style.

Once again, thank you for your time.

Kind regards,

J& M B”

An ode to a painful back.

“A ‘phone call away…

An appointment made for Tuesday

Form filing in was the order of the day

Then a discussion and x-ray

Paul said, tomorrow bring someone else

And so Peg obliged to see

The picture Paul took of me

Ugh! the picture was awful

Peg, looked and agreed

So began the treatment of me

Now I’m at the end of the line

Better by far than I’ve been

Slow still but improving

The “kick start” seemed to be working

Comes the medical assessment of my back

And hopes that “will I won’t I” be back

For more of the same

I wait and see! ”

S.W. (Steven’s Mother)

“Hi Paul,

The improvements that I have seen in Steven since you have been giving him treatment is that:

  1. his head is more rounded like normal
  2. he try’s to stand up to get items e.g. off the table, his toys
  3. he is crawling all around the house
  4. he is trying to get from one chair to another.

Thanks for all your help

Becky’s story

“Since I was ten, nine years ago, I have been suffering from severe neck pain, which has often traveled into my face and down my arms.

I have seen many different doctors, paediatricians, neurologists, psychiatrists, osteopaths and chiropractors, and have taken many different combinations of tablets, but I still had the pain. Pain is very debilitating, consequently I missed a tremendous amount of schooling.

During February, of this year (’05), I was suffering badly and loosing a lot of time from college. In fact I was beginning to think that my poor attendance might mean that I would not be able to continue into the second year…At my first visit Paul gave me hope! …

Even after that first visit I felt different.

After several visits I realised that I didn’t have to spend so much time on my bed and my quality of life was improving.

This term I have only had to miss a couple of days from college.

I realise that I am not out of the woods yet; I will still have some bad days.

Thanks to Paul’s help there are many more good days than bad ones…”

C.E.

“Dear Paul,

After reading your advert in the newspaper I decided to take up the offer. The persistent headaches I suffered from (due to problems in my neck) have now gone plus my back pain. The x-ray showed up arthritis so my problem is going on but with ‘maintenance’ checks that I intend to have I’m sure I’ll be fine for a good few years yet. So I’d like to thank you Paul for all your help and kindness.”

 

D.B.

“Dear Paul

I would like to thank you for the work you have done so far on my spine and neck. Since coming to you a few months ago with intense pain in my neck and head I have seen a marked improvement in my general health.

I have suffered with lower back pain for more years than I care to remember and thought this was something one just put up with. However, in order to get my neck free of pain and explaining to me that you would need to work on my whole spine to achieve this, you have not only eliminated the neck and head pain, but have improved my back markedly. I no longer have the constant ache and can rise from a bending position without too much bother (in view of my age!).

I also suffered from numbness in my right leg just above the knee and this has now virtually disappeared – but if I notice a slight numbness, or pins and needles, I do one of the exercises you taught me and it goes away. I have also noticed an improvement in my sciatica, this does not occur quite so often as it did, but I think this either needs some more work on it or it is something I will maybe have to live with.

So thank you Paul for making me feel a whole lot better – I will not hesitate to recommend you to anyone with similar problems.”

L.B.

“…I have arthritis of the neck and spine, and also Fibromyalgia where I am tired and lacking energy all the time, but Paul is helping me so much and I have been able to come off the tablets from the doctor. The exercises he gave me help with the stiffness. It is early days and already I can feel a BIG improvement. Paul is the BEST, and will help anyone reading this.”  

T.M.

“Dear Paul

Having suffered with many many migraines, and lower back pain since I was 16, due to an accident, I have not looked back since, on my daughter’s recommendation, I made an appointment to come and see you.

Not only am I back pain free, I cannot remember the last headache I had, let alone a migraine.

As an added bonus to my spine adjustments, (something which I had no expectations of) my poor circulation, (white fingers, toes, and swollen ankles) have all been improved, and the Restless Leg Syndrome I have always suffered from, (thinking it was hereditary, because my Father had it, and thinking it was just something I had to put up with) has more or less settled down. I just cannot believe how lucky I am to have these added benefits.

If only I had known years ago, that by having regular spine adjustments, I would feel so well and have more energy. I think you forget over time, how well you used to feel, before just putting up with all aches and pains, as part of every day life.

I cannot thank you enough Paul.”
