I have a longstanding problem in my lower right back.  In May 2009 the problem spread to my left side.  Throughout the course of the year I had an MRI scan, consultations with physiotherapists and two consultants plus an epidural injection.  All to no avail.  By December I could barely walk, I had aches in my left leg and I was unable to sleep for more than an hour at a time.  The consultants told me that the damage to my back was such that surgery was too risky and that I would have to learn to deal with the pain.  Following a recommendation from friends I visited David just before Christmas and again in early January.  He diagnosed and treated the problem and within a few weeks I was able to walk as well as before.”

A very friendly and professional practice.  David and his team made me feel at ease immediately.  The treatment has been hugely successful and I would highly recommend a visit to Westbury Chiropractic Clinic!

I started having problems with my back 12 years ago when I was heavily pregnant with my third child and was also lifting and carrying two small boys under three.  Since my problems started I have consulted two different chiropractors, and tried physio and Pilates in an attempt to alleviate the persisting discomfort.  David had been highly recommended to me by a number of people, but I resisted visiting him as I was mistrusting of chiropractors.  With the chiropractors I had seen before where I was “crunched and popped” I found it too aggressive and particularly unpleasant.  I felt as if I would rather be in back pain than undergo a chiropractic treatment.

However, the last time my back “went”, a friend finally persuaded me to see David as she convinced me he was different – and he certainly was!  He took time to gain a full understanding of the problem.  He looked at the soles of my shoes; he put pressure on certain parts of my feet, head and shoulders and in a very gentle, methodical way, considered all the possibilities that could be making my back hurt.

What impresses me by David’s approach is that he looks for the cause of the pain and tries to treat it, rather than just offering short-term pain relief. 

After the first consultation with David he was able to conclude the source of my discomfort and was then able to treat it over a period of weeks.    At times, I have to say that I doubted that he could completely eradicate the pain. However, I soon realised that David is so dedicated to restoring comfort from pain, that he was determined to find the right solution.  Chiropractic is his vocation, rather than just a job.

For the first time in years I have no discomfort in my back and feel very positive and thankful for the treatment I have received from David.
