Hello everyone,
I like many others have suffered with a chronic back injury for many years. I am currently 28 years old and the injury was caused by excessive exercise and weightlifting when I was at university aged 20. I will give a brief outline of my story.
I suffered with pain in my left side of my lower back which came on in a gradual fashion then culminated in an acute onset of pain and altered sensation in the pelvic area of my body. The pain was consistently getting worse throughout the day especially when seated. I would also get symptoms of altered sensation in the genitals and when i first had the problem this was extremely concerning. I spent a long long time going through the NHS and the doctors tried many things to identify the problem such as MRI scan, examinations and a technique that was used to test the conductivity of my nerve pathways. It was found that my nerve pathways were intact but there was "vascular irritation" in the pelvic area.
To cut a very long story short, I had consistent pain and it stopped me from doing exercise which is something that is very important to me in life.Unfortunately, Non of the doctors I saw had any suggestions of how to actually improve the problem.
After doing some reading online I decided to give Sayer Clinics a go. I read about Michael Durtnall and i decided to go for it.
I will say that the treatment was fantastic based on a few things
1) My pain is now around a 1 or 2 out of 10 versus around a 7 out of 10 when i first went.
2) Michael is very good at what he does. I say this because as a patient you can feel that that chiropractic adjustments and flowing smoothly. When i was out of the country on business I went to other practitioners and I can tell you from experience it is worth it to go to the best. He is also very friendly and nice to chat to. I travel 2.5 hours each way on a train for an appointment and i don't mind at all.
3) This was combined with physiotherapy that was again the best i have had. I say this because again I have been to other practitioners. The main things that set them apart are how fast the practitioners at Sayer clinic understand the problem that i had. They understood where the problem was very fast and the pain was consistently lower after i had the sessions and did the exercises at home.
4) All of the service around the clinic is great such as booking and the location of the clinics.
If anyone as any questions fire away. I would like to give something back to sayer clinics however I can because I can now go out to my exercise classes, hiking etc.
Cheers,
Iain
