What Patients Are Saying
“After almost 12 months of lower back pain and seeing a
physiotherapist with very little results I was beginning to
feel that this would be an ongoing issue that I will just have
to deal with. However after being recommended to see a
chiropractor I got in touch with Goddard Chiropractic
and WOW, what a difference, and even after only a few
visits did I start noticing the benefits. I am now completely
pain free and have been for months.
The plan that was set up along with the exercises has
worked wonders and I cannot thank them enough.
I highly recommend to anyone struggling with lower back
pain.
Thank you William and Olivia.”
“Having suffered from regular periods of lower back pain for
many years (decades) and having tried various painkillers
(tablets/sprays/creams), several courses of (expensing)
physiotherapy and simply trying to ‘tough it out’, it was
suggested that I see a chiropractor.
I visited the Goddard Chiropractic team in January 2018
and was made to feel welcome and at ease by Olivia and
William.
The initial assessment was fairly quick yet thorough and led
to a recommendation of a course of treatment. This was a
series of appointments – initially a couple of times a week
to allow William to manipulate my back (and neck) to get
me ‘physically’ aligned; the frequency reducing to now,
once every 5-6 weeks – The latter visits included a series of
exercises and now are merely check-ups with a few quick
manipulations to make sure everything is aligned and ok.
Throughout, William has been informative and ensured I
knew what he was doing – and why!
The treatments have been painless with only a little
soreness after the first couple (as my body got used to being
in a better way).
Previously I would have had another episode in the last 5
months but nothing! I just wish I had done this sooner. The
lack of pain (as well as better sleeping) is wonderful.”
