After suffering from neck and shoulder pain for se...
After suffering from neck and shoulder pain for several months, which wasn't solved by a course deep tissue massage, I finally 'bit the bullet' and decided to visit chiropractor Naomi at Radcliffe Chiropractic Clinic(RCC).
My massage therapist directly had recommended RCC to me so I thought to give them a try because I recognized I needed a form of adjustment to help reduce the pain and improve my overall physical and mental condition; the pain was getting me down during the day and keeping me up at night!
I am a fit and active person and wanted to be able to do my sports training without pain again, and that is exactly where I am back to now following a six session course of treatment as prescribed and agreed with Naomi in the initial consultation! I attended these sessions over a three month period and now commit to monthly check ups.
The long term differences are that my postural alignment is improved as has my awareness and ability to maintain good posture in both active movements(running, cycling)) and sedentary positions(sitting at a laptop computer). I have also been able to increase my flexibility to my previous ranges of motion which is great!
I do continue with massage therapy every month as this helps to keep soft tissues supple and hold the good chiropractic work, as deep and chronic tension is an enemy to our overall health.
I would especially recommend RCC to anyone who needs help in pain relief and isn't getting effective results from their GP or Physiotherapists.
I'll be honest and say that I was initially worried about the costs involved however these have been far outweighed but the benefits of committing to the course of treatment. Added to this, RCC's friendly staff and the clinic's calming environment are a welcome break to the hustle and bustle of everyday life. If in doubt give it a try , you won't regret it!
