Testimonials for Our Chiropractic Treatment in Sussex

"I first came to Back 2 Balance after a recurring injury flared up again. I was in agony and even repeated physiotherapy and other treatments hadn't helped, so I was really hoping that chiropractic treatment would be something that worked.

I wasn't disappointed!

Even from my very first appointment I felt that I'd come to exactly the right place. I was very re-assured by the thorough pre-session assessment and discussion and felt that for the first time someone really understood what was wrong with my back - and more importantly, how to make it better! I noticed a definite improvement from the first treatment, and the pain I had been experiencing also reduced.

In the time I've been coming here, my back has gone from strength to strength and is feeling 100% better. I wholly recommend Back 2 Balance - not only for the level of care and attention, but also for relaxed but professional practice...

Thank you!"

"I resorted to chiropractic in desperation after not getting any results on the NHS.

I came to Back 2 Balance Clinic, in January 2003, hardly able to walk even with sticks. They have worked wonders. I now walk without a problem quite upright. I come to Back 2 Balance once every month and can't praise my treatment enough."

"I first attended Back 2 Balance 12 years ago. A major operation left me needing treatment on my back. I found the treatment very beneficial and was always kept very well informed during the treatments.

I then needed treatment after further operations. There was no hesitation in returning to Back 2 Balance. The start of the treatment was fairly intensive but not invasive.

I now attend on a three week basis and this helps me with good movement. There have been occasions when acupuncture has been offered and very professionally given.

The friendliness and kindness shown to me has been all I could wish for."

"I had long felt uncomfortable with my back, neck and shoulder. One shoulder was higher than the other, my neck jutted forward and had limited range of movement and I was beginning to have pains in my lower back when walking or doing any kind of physical work.

My concerns were confirmed when I had an infrared scan on my neck at a health fair last year. This showed up areas of tensions in my neck. It was after moving to Brighton and hearing the recommendations of others that I started to have treatment with Dr Mel Davis at B2B.

I was really impressed with how thorough my initial examination was and how everything was explained to me in a way that I could understand and relate too. My neck improved within a couple of treatments and my lower back no longer is a problem. (And my legs are now the same length - no wonder I felt crooked!)

I not only found Mel very professional but also a lovely person and I've very much enjoyed having the treatments. Where I had been apprehensive about the treatment itself, she assured me and all the adjustments were explained to me and actually were perfectly ok.

I shall continue with chiropractic on a maintenance level. I now pay more attentions to how I use my body and have also picked up some useful tips. (I would recommend attending the health class that they run at the clinic - very informative.) I now feel more confident that I needn't have the type of painful and disabling back problems that my mother had suffered from through her middle to late life."

As a keen horsewoman, Diana was beside herself when an injury at work prevented her from following her favourite past time. Forced to wear a neck brace for nearly a year, she found every jolt and jump, simply made her sick with pain.

"I felt my whole life had come to an unplanned and abrupt halt and wearing my neck brace became a way of life".

Diana was fortunate to have private medical cover and found after months of consultations from one or another established Consultant, that there was no apparent solution to her painful back and in particular, neck injury. Her GP was sympathetic and suggested she may like to try other alternatives such as chiropractic treatment.

Missing her hobbies, social life and work, she turned to Chiropractic, seeking a pain free and drug free solution to her condition.

She chose the well-established 'Back 2 Balance Chiropractic Clinic' in Hove having been established for more than twenty years offering care to all ages.

Diana booked herself in for a same day examination, x-ray's and a non-invasive neural scan, being one of only a handful of clinics in Sussex to do so.

The day after, the Chiropractic Doctor gave her a confidential report of findings and Diana agreed to start treatment there and then.

"From my first treatment, I was able to remove and never have to bother with my neck brace ever again".

A tailored-made treatment plan was worked out by the Chiropractic Doctor at Back 2 Balance for Diane to follow over the next few weeks.

Within days, she noticed increasing improvements in her neck movements, less pain and generally better mobility and within the month managed to start back at her place of work.

"When my colleagues saw me after the treatment, they were simply amazed with my improved condition".

Today, just a few weeks on or so, Diana is working with ease, her condition improving day by day and has started to enjoy those times again that meant so much to her and her family.

"I find the Doctors and Clinic always helpful, very caring and I appreciate all they have done for me and my esteem"

"Walking the children to school each day became in itself, a marathon"

Previously Veronica had been fit and healthy, never encountering these dreadful pains down the side of her leg.

Her GP had tried to help, a physiotherapist also, but neither course of treatment could take away these dreadful, daily, 'shooting-type' pain symptoms she experienced, causing her continual discomfort.

"All I wanted to do was to be in control and do all I could to get better, but it just wasn't happening"

Veronica wasn't going to be beaten, travelling even to London, to try and seek a solution, to her continuing pain. She then turned to pursuing other forms of alternative therapies too, until one day...

"I came across Dr Nicholas' advert in the Argus and thought I would try it."

"What struck me was that she offered a full examination and she was a SPINAL Doctor."

Veronica came for her full Examination, had X - Rays too, and received a full Report of Findings from Dr Nicholas. She took up the course of treatment that Dr Nicholas recommended.

"In no time the pain had gone, just after a few visits to Back 2 Balance"...

says Veronica, recollecting her thoughts after her first few treatments with Dr Nicholas, and has never looked back since those dreadful days of being incapacitated, limping and continually in pain and discomfort.

Today, Veronica visits Back 2 Balance Chiropractic Clinic on a less intense treatment plan, for a monthly 'maintenance' check-up with Dr Nicholas, to ensure her spine remains strong and healthy, encouraging a far more pain-free future.

Golf swing improves!

"After suffering with a long standing back problem as a result of my Rugby playing days, I went to Back 2 Balance hoping they would help me to improve my golf swing which was very restricted...
I was immediately impressed with the facilities and my treatment received from one of the Doctors of Chiropractic.

I'm now moving freely and my Golf has improved as well. I get no more twinges and I get out of bed each morning without any aches and pains.

With regular visits to Back 2 Balance I'm feeling 100% better than I was."

A very grateful patient...
Mr De Mello, Hove

Shoulder and Arm pain gone!

"I first came to Back 2 Balance suffering from a trapped nerve in my neck giving me pain into my shoulder and arm. The clinic gave a good first impression although I must admit I felt a bit dubious about both my treatment and chiropractic, I am now however very pleased.

Initially the treatment had slow effects but soon gained momentum and has now left me with no pain at all. I have also found that I now have more energy and improved performance at work; I am also sleeping better now I have no back pain in bed.

I have no qualms about using chiropractic over conventional medicine there is no competition; chiropractic wins every time and obtains long lasting benefits."

Mr Mitchell, Brighton

No painkillers!

"When I first went to Back 2 Balance I had a trapped sciatic nerve that I had been having on and off for some years. The six months prior to my going to Back 2 Balance I was on painkillers everyday.
The treatment given to me has been marvellous! Within the first four weeks I was walking without pain.

Back 2 Balance is very professional. The Doctor is competent and a sympathetic chiropractor, he got me back to work. I'm glad I took the advise of my son-in-law to make an appointment with Back 2 Balance."

No Sciatica pain now!

"Eighteen months ago while on holiday in Egypt I had a bad fall as a result I required a hip replacement, unfortunately after the operation, I was left with a dropped foot through a damaged peroneal nerve. I had no control over my foot or leg below my knee and through walking badly and sitting badly because of my hip I had developed back problems.

Before going to Back 2 Balance, I was in terrible pain. I was not sitting or standing straight, walking badly and I was not able to put my full body weight onto my bad leg, but the worst thing was the sciatica.

I now sit and stand straight, I can put much more weight on my right leg, I am more mobile but best of all I am not in terrible pain. I have never experienced any bad side effects, each time I walked out of the clinic it was better than when I went in.

I would certainly recommend chiropractic care."
