Good impressions, poor results

The staff were very pleasant, professional and seemed knowledgeable. The premises were attractive and clean. Unfortunately, at least in my case, the long-term results of the treatment proved not to be so positive. Although there was a short-term benefit, a year after my chiropractic, my back is no more stable than it was and I still suffer from periodic scoliosis (spine twisting) and pain. Also, I started to suffer from distressing tinnitus after just a few sessions of intensive neck massage there. This tinnitus is still with me today and has changed my life. There is no proof, but I believe this was caused by the massage; e.g. tinnitus can be the delayed reaction to whiplash neck injury and what I experienced could be an associated effect. The ENT consultant I saw afterwards also took this view. In conclusion, this clinic is probably as good as any of its type, but as with anything in alternative medicine, proceed with care !
