Patient Case Studies

Slipped disc case study:
NM is a 52 year old engineer from Iran. After years of back pain, he had had an MRI scan which revealed not only arthritic change in his low back but also a slipped disc at the base of the spine (L5-S1 levels). He had been unable to get any help in his native country and endured constant pain. On a short trip to the UK, he came to Suzanne for help. He noticed immediate pain relief after just one treatment and was able to enjoy sightseeing and walking during his trip which he had not been able to do before treatment. After just 4 treatments, he had considerable reduction in pain and made excellent progress. After two weeks, he had to return to Iran with his treatment incomplete, but with guidance, exercises and advice from Suzanne he is now back to playing football and is enjoying life to the full.

Professional, insightful and efficient
I first used Suzanne's services in the summer of 2011 when an old achilles injury flared up. She came on high recommendation from my sister who has used her services for over five years for a recurrent shoulder injury. I could hardly walk and was about to go on a much needed three week holiday so was understandably concerned about my mobility. I saw Suzanne a few days before my holiday started. She was professional, approachable, knowledgeable and friendly. Her assessment was helpful. ...... She advised acupuncture, which I have never had before so was a bit nervous. I needn't have worried as it was swift and largely pain free. She recommended that I wear gel heel elevators in my shoes and to avoid any activities that required running or heavy impact for a few weeks. I expected to have a follow up appointment when I returned from holiday, but the initial treatment was so effective that I was back at work for three weeks before I realised that I had no pain and didn't need to see her again. Four months on it is better than ever. I have since seen her for a thigh strain. Again, a combination of treatments (including acupuncture, which I am now less threatened by) and good advice has made a positive difference and hasn't impeded my performance at the gym. I would, without hesitation, recommend Suzanne.
