I have an ongoing back problem that needs attention every few years. It's an old sporting injury affecting a couple of vertebrae in the lower portion of my spine. I spent thousands of pounds on conventional medicine (or to more accurate BUPA did), receiving MRI scans, cortisone injections and reasonable regular examinations... all of it doing nothing to remedy the situation.
I cannot describe the relief I felt after receiving my first Chiropractic session. I saw a registered Chiropractic and Osteopath, who used both methods to remedy my condition in a single one hour session, and cost me £35.00!!! At this point I had suffered agonizing bouts of back pain for about eight years!!!!
Sadly I have lost contact with the practitioner that effected such a miraculous cure. She was so good at what she did that I remained pain free for years. It was only when I re-injured my back a couple of years ago that I tried to track her down. I had moved from Devon to Cardiff, and had lost her contacts in the move.
I am aware that some alternative therapists are better than others, and was willing to travel to South Devon for a session with the incredible therapist I'd found there about ten years ago. But, not being able to remember her name, I had no chance of locating her again.
Whilst researching my options in the local area I came across Chiropractic 4 Health. They provide something called Network Spinal Analysis and Somato Respiratory Integration, which is an evidence based chiropractic technique that is appropriate for all ages. Utilizing specific, gentle touches to the spine, it offers an innovative approach to chiropractic, and sounds similar to the approach of Osteopathy. I am yet to book an appointment, but having discussed my condition, I feel convinced that Dr Rachael Talbot, who owns the clinic, can help. Now I just need to find the time to pay her a visit!
Chiropractic 4 Health treat conditions which include, migraine, post-traumatic stress disorder, back and neck pain, chronic pain conditions, sleeping problems, asthma, allergies, stress and anxiety disorders.
"Network spinal analysis is a gentle, evidence based approach to health that improves quality of life with regard to physical complaints, mental / emotional health, stress handling and overall quality of life. It is suitable for all ages from new borns to senior members of society. Only chiropractors can deliver this technique, requiring a minimum of 4 years university education." read more
