Patient Testimonials

Stacey Kite – Testimonial

I booked an appointment with Daniel Thomson, physiotherapist, after experiencing pain in my hip whilst running. I had a full distance triathlon booked 8 weeks from my first appointment and was concerned that my injury would prevent me from completing the marathon run at the end of the triathlon and all the months of training would be wasted. Daniel identified the issue immediately and explained in detail exercises I should do at home and also things that I should avoid so as not to aggravate it further. I had 2 further appointments with things to do at home in between. The final appointment was 2 weeks prior to the event and after the appointment I felt confident that I could do it. I managed to complete the triathlon with no hip pain at all and can’t thank Daniel enough for his professionalism and expertise in getting me to the start line.

Jean Hardy – Testimonial

About 18 months ago I was having a lot of pain in my neck. Turning my head from side to side was agony – especially when driving. My husband was seeing Jeff about a calf problem, he mentioned my neck problem to him & Jeff recommended a visit for an assessment. This was arranged & I felt much better afterwards. I also stopped taking pain killers which Jeff advised would only mask the problem & not resolve it. Further visits have helped a lot & I now only attend appointments every 6-8 weeks for maintenance. I would highly recommend Jeff to anyone, he always explains everything fully & is very professional.

Dennis Hardy – Testimonial

Following a lower back problem about 3 years ago & follow up maintenance sessions, I was aware of the Lawrence Clinic & their excellent treatment. In July 2019 I developed a problem with my right calf which made walking difficult & extremely painful. I was diagnosed as needing orthotics & a course of Chiropractic treatment. The combination of Chiropractic treatment & orthotics quickly made a significant improvement &, together with an exercise regime on advice by Jeff the Chiropractor, I am now much fitter than I have been for years. The calf problem is now 100% resolved. I did learn during the treatment that whilst pain killers can help ease discomfort, they are not a cure. Jeff’s approach & treatment is always very professional, he provided me with good advice & tips to help resolve my problem, I have total confidence in him & would not hesitate in recommending him to anyone.

The treatment I have received has improved my life significantly & I was honestly astounded how much improvement was made so quickly. I continue to have regular follow up sessions even though I have no particular back or calf problems at present.

After just 1 session the pain had gone!

After just 1 session the pain had gone! I was amazed! I now see Jeff on a regular basis on his recommendation and have exercises to practice at home as it isn’t just a quick fix and 1 session is not enough.

It’s now been nearly 2 months now and not only has the pain not come back but neither have my headaches or migraines! I was getting about 1-2 migraines a month before treatment.

I feel so much better, not only in myself but also knowing that I haven’t taken painkillers for nearly two months!

Having seen and heard your patients explain their amazing experiences for the past year and now experiencing it for myself, I cannot recommend Chiropractic care enough!

Why put up with pain, why put chemicals in your body to mask the pain when you can fix it once and for all by seeing a Chiropractor!

Dramatic Improvement

Sarah – I just wanted to take a moment to say how much I appreciate the work you have done for me over the last few weeks. I was finding it difficult to bend down and impossible to turn my head to the right. My posture was bad and I was heading into retirement looking like a question mark with round shoulders.

But now thankfully things have improved dramatically. So I would like to say a big thank you for all your hard work. I would recommend anyone to book an appointment to see you. After each full session, I felt fantastic.

Orthotics: Worth Their Weight in Gold

I would just like to thank all the staff for the service I received. I had previously purchased orthotics to fit inside my shoes from another company which I wished I had never done. They caused such pain in my lower back, in my shoulders, both front and back, that after sitting down it was getting to a stage where I couldn’t move.  I read an article about the Lawrence Clinic and thought I would make an appointment. And I’m glad I did.

After visiting Jonathan Stanley the Podiatrist I was referred to Tomer with whom I had several appointments to get my spine straight. Next, I paid Jonathan another visit and he made plaster casts of my feet which were then sent away to be made into my very own orthotics. I am now wearing them in my shoes all day, Without them, I would still be in a lot of pain.

Believe me, they are worth their weight in GOLD. I have recommended this clinic to lots of my friends who I’m sure they will be as highly satisfied as me.

This place is great, I saw Richard after getting referred by my doctor from kings medical centre due to having back pain for over 15 months, spent hundreds of o pounds having physio from other places with no progress but after one session with Richard it was like I’d never had the pain and was back to my usual self, would highly recommend the Lawrence clinic and Richard really knows what he is doing, thank you for everything.

Beating Back Pain

For several years I have suffered from increasingly common and irritating periods of back pain. These would spread over my entire lower back and on occasion down my right leg, usually lasting from a day to three or four, and occasionally an entire week. As a keen triathlete, these episodes affected the training I could undertake, often preventing me from running or cycling and only allowing shorter sessions in the pool.

The pain also affected my work were I frequently spend considerable time driving punctuated by short periods of the heavy lifting in difficult environments. Both activities would be uncomfortable, and at the back of my mind always potentially a precursor of a much more serious back injury.

I found that it was taking longer to recover and increasingly affecting both my work and leisure time, and I was not prepared to put it down to simply ” getting older”.

I attended the Lawrence clinic after deciding to see if there was a solution to the cycle a few days of pain every month or two. The clinic consists of a range of medical specialists and I found myself in the office of Tomer going over the problem and my thoughts on what might be causing it. As we chatted he threw in questions and ideas on the causative factors and between us we came up with a plan that would enable me to compete in a TRIATHLON RACE  the following weekend.

He performed a simple manipulation and the change was noticeable immediately, I was then given some deep tissue massage and some simple exercises to do. I was able to complete the event the following weekend and then returned to the clinic for a few further sessions to repeat the procedures and get more treatment and advice specific to my condition and aspirations of continuing to compete in multi-sport events.

I now have very few episodes of pain, simple exercises to combat any recurrence of the symptoms, and a friendly face to provide excellent care when required. I can work and train in the confidence that I now know what to do to maintain my back pain-free, and have a simple option of a quick appointment if things become troublesome again.
