I came to the clinic as I had been suffering with severe neck and shoulder pain and my doctor suggested I found a chiropractic clinic. I had previously tried taking pain killers and using a wheat bag & physiotherapy via my doctor but physio didn't work. The physio just used machines & tried acupuncture. So my doctor advised a chiropractor would use hands on manipulation & get to the root of the problem.

My problem caused pain when I was sat at work & when driving or just shopping. I had a burning sensation in my neck & left shoulder. Shopping was painful having to carry bags & driving to visit family at the seaside was getting too much when driving on the motorway.

After probably 4-5 sessions I started to feel the burning sensation in my neck and shoulder easing each week & I could go several days without pain. Now after completing my course of 10 sessions I don't have any pain. My neck and back feel more supple & flexible and I don't need to take any pain killers. Plus I have started to go back to the fitness classes which I had given up.

I do feel that Chiropractic care is still important to continue as I would not want to go back to how I was & certainly do not wish to suffer the pain I had.

I have worked as a nurse for over 30 years in busy teaching hospital wards causing inevitable wear and tear. Four years ago I fell down some steps and thought after three weeks the damage was repaired. Over the last four years my posture in compensating for the injury has caused tendinitis in my leg further starting in one foot then the other then tennis elbow bilaterally. I was in pain especially in my neck when I came to chiropractic care. It took a few weeks to really feel the benefit. I now know that it has helped me immensely.

I was in pain on waking . I had some loss of sensation in my finger tips so unable to perform some tasks. I couldn't pack supermarket shopping or carrying the basket.

I have had individual attention to each issue as it arose but realised I needed holistic care. I know how important it is to care for the spine as it affects all the body and mind.

My life has improved a lot. I know that it is important to do the exercises given and to keep coming for maintenance care in order to live a full life.

I first visited Brighouse Chiropractic about 12 months ago. I was having extreme attacks of pain at the bottom of my back and finding it difficult to walk and also do a lot of everyday tasks without being in discomfort. I had 4 sessions of physiotherapy arranged by my doctor, but it did not help at all. I found an advert for Brighouse chiropractic in my local news paper and decided to try it. I was a little apprehensive but even after the first weeks treatment I felt more comfortable. As time has passed I can now do things I found so painful before and no longer get the pain I had. I now attend once a month and feel the treatment has made my life much easier.
