I have been seeing Suzanne for some years now after I had a road traffic accident. I initially had multiple broken bones, which ended up causing me disc problems and back pain. It got to the point where it became so severe I needed spinal surgery. I had regular osteopathic treatment leading up to the operation and it was a godsend. At that time I could hardly walk, I was bent over and on a very high dose of painkillers but the treatment gave me the relief I needed to get to the next week; without it, I would have been in bed unable to move a lot more than I was. During this time I was pregnant with my second child and it was a further 8 months following his birth that I had the surgery. I am now 1.5 years post op and have osteopathic treatment about every 4-6 weeks just to keep me on track.
I recommend osteopathy to anyone suffering from back or leg pain as I simply could not have got by without it.
