Before going to Ilkley Chiropractic I had suffered persistent migraines over a three month period. I often had three or four migraines a week. Within two treatments the frequency of my migraines reduced substantially. After four treatments my migraines stopped. I now have treatment every three months and have not had a migraine in 18 months. Getting treatment has given me my life back.
My surgeon told me that if my chiropractor had not sent me for an MRI when he did I could have spent the rest of my life in a wheel chair. For months I had been going to my doctor who just kept giving me anti-inflammatories, saying my pain was due to my skin condition. Once my chiropractor examined me he said that I needed an MRI, within two weeks I had undergone surgery to release pressure on my spinal cord.
When I was 22 I had a disc taken out of my low back. When I was 28 the pain in my low back and leg came back. My doctor told me that I would probably need another operation on my back. I went to John Rees at Ilkley Chiropractic Clinic who said that he would give me some treatments to see if he could reduce the pain. My pain soon went. I was able to go back to work as a carpenter and now three years later I see John for maintenance treatment every three months.
I had had low back pain for over forty years. I had been to my GP who told me that I must live with it. When I saw John he asked whether the pain had come on soon after my pregnancy back in 1966. When we made the connection it became easy to diagnose the problem. After a few treatments I hardly noticed any pain. I just wish that I had heard of chiropractic forty years ago.
Being a keen golfer and hiker, I was very concerned when I developed a constant pain in my right hip and groin and decided that I would have to re-organise my lifestyle and have more relaxing days and less active days. A friend recommended I made an appointment to see Rachel at Ilkley Chiropractic Clinic. Rachel has been treating me for six months; the time span between each visit has increased to ten weeks and I no longer have any pain. My golf has improved and a long distance walk has been booked. Don't leave the country Rachel!
I've had a bad back for a number of years
The pain that I've had has reduced me to tears
But since I met you
The things I can do
I do them without any fears
So now when I have a twinge of pain
It's off to see that girl again
It's a quick tweak here and a quick tweak there
She won't hurt me so I don't care.
