C1 Chiropractic Health Centre Testimonials
I’ve had episodes of back pain on and off since 1999 having worked too hard, driven too far and surfed and water-skied too much. My back got worse and worse until in 2004 when, after a lot of heavy lifting and a long drive, it locked up putting me in bed with significant pain for 5 days. I was off work for 6 weeks following this episode.
Over the years since then I have seen: 2 physios, my GP, had an MRI scan, completed a strengthening programme, seen a chiropractor, seen a BUPA orthopaedic surgeon, another three physios, a cranial sacral therapist, an acupuncturist, had another MRI scan and finally, recently, an epidural spinal injection.
I then contacted Rupert at C1. He got me in and took a detailed history and then carried a thorough examination before sending me away to give him time to think about it all. I came back a few days later and he told me what he’d found and how he was going to tackle it. He recommended a series of specific, precise, chiropractic spinal manipulations followed by some focused spinal rehabilitation with the Sports Injury Therapist – Rebecca Strange who treats all comers at C1. This has proven to be the winning combination, at last!
I am now only on my eighth appointment with Rupert and my third with Rebecca and my back has gone from ‘better’ through the ‘best it has been for a while’ to ‘amazingly good’.
Rupert keeps on telling me that the only difference between what he has done and what the others did was that he thought about it and addressed the cause not the symptoms. I don’t know what to believe but I do believe it works.
