Case studies
A sore back, a locked shoulder, a stiff neck - these sorts of conditions affect almost all of us at some stage and are traditionally not well treated by GPs. Increasingly people are looking to Osteopaths, Physiotherapists and Chiropractors for a more hands-on approach to treating these - and many other - conditions with impressive results.
Back Pain Appointment Line has pulled together a selection of real-life stories showing the impact and effectiveness of osteopathy, physiotherapy and chiropractics in treating both acute and chronic musculo-skeletal conditions affecting the back, neck and shoulders.
Patient Name:
Bob, Chingford
Symptoms:
I had a hip operation following an accident on a building site. After this I experienced terrible back pain. The doctors couldn't tell me what was wrong.
Treatment:
I was then recommended to a Chiropractor who looked at me holistically and deduced that one leg was now shorter than the other and he arranged orthotics for the left shoe.
Feedback:
My spine has been realigned and I have had no back pain since.
Patient Name:
Nat, Bromley
Symptoms:
I usually run 3 times a week and for at least 5 miles, sometimes even 10. After a two week holiday when I did not train I tried a long run and after 2 miles I pulled my hamstring muscle. It was incredibly sore - I limped home - and was worse the next day.
Treatment:
My physio did heaps of ultrasound, massage and stretching on my hamstring. I also had stretching to do at home.
Feedback:
I know I would eventually have gotten better by resting but I was worried about whether I would fully recover - and I wanted to get back into running faster. I was back at it again after 4 weeks and I am sure it would have taken longer otherwise. I also got a lot of advice about how to avoid future injury by better stretching and also some different trainers.
Patient Name:
James, London
Symptoms:
I had very bad back, rib and neck pain. My doctors could not figure out why.
Treatment:
When I went to see my Chiropractor, he quickly diagnosed that my hip was out of place i.e., it was not aligned properly. He used a heat pulse and manipulation to move the hip back into the right place. He also gave me exercises and posture advice in order to train the muscles and ligaments to keep the hip in the right place.
Feedback:
After 3 visits to the Chiropractor, my back, ribs and neck feel much better.
