^kv^Ûp=pqlov= I am a university student in my final year of a Graphic Design and Marketing degree. I have suffered with neck and shoulder pain for the past three years, which would become worse whenever I was going through stressful periods, such as exams and project deadlines. I had frequent headaches but figured that daily pain and discomfort was just due to my lifestyle and that it was something I needed to accept. That was, until my mum visited The Back Doctor in Haywards Heath. She was two or three visits into their 12 week postural change programme and she said that she was feeling much better already, so I decided to give it a go. I was seen by David Tennison who is one of the chiropractors there. My immediate feeling when I entered the clinic was how friendly everyone was to each other and the patients. I felt immediately relaxed. After listening to my story, David explained we would need to do some checks to see what my posture was like and what could be causing the issue. I was shocked to see the results. My head was leaning “ forwards, my spine was twisting and I started to really understand the source of my problems for the first time. The good news, as David explained, was that these issues were solvable, in a short space of time. David explained to me from the beginning that the process was about me taking responsibility for my own posture and that he was here to help by providing me with a long term solution that I could self manage in the future.
After seeing David’s portfolio of case studies, it was clear that he was highly professional and could deliver the results he had discussed with me. It was very refreshing considering my situation and that his approach was different from other health professionals I had met before. I felt immediate relief on the first session and continued to improve throughout the 12 sessions. By about session 6, I was pain free. Not only that but I also stopped experiencing my usual headaches. I started to really understand how the body is connected and that by solving one issue, it can have a positive effect on something else. I was apprehensive when we were finished and David took the photos again, however it was obvious that my posture was significantly better. I was pain free for the first time in a long time and because my posture had improved so much, I looked taller and slimmer as a result, which was a definite bonus! It has been a year since I went through the programme which was a thoroughly positive experience for me. I still get the odd twinge in the shoulder or the occasional headache but they are very mild and pass very quickly. After David’s advice, I am now more aware and am able to identify the triggers that may have set the problems off and then work to correct them myself. If you really want to get to the root cause of the problem and make long term solutions to your pain and discomfort, I highly recommend The Back Doctor. It has really changed my life in a positive way and it can change yours too.”
