I was recommended to Church Road family Chiropractic by a friend. I had back pain and thought it best to get some help;
I learnt the cause of my problem was a worn disc.
Chiropractic has really helped; I am now free from pain and have less indigestion. I would recommend anyone with back
pain to see a Chiropractor.

I found Church Road Family Chiropractic listed in my local telephone directory, it was the most convenient practice for
me to attend. After trying osteopathy with no result I decided to try chiropractic for my sciatica. I learnt that the cause
of problem was due to subluxations.
Chiropractic has taken away my pain, given me much more flexibility and has improved my general health and energy. I check
my posture regularly and I hope to continue having my adjustments for as long as possible.
I believe everyone would benefit from adjustments, even if they are in no pain.

I was introduced to the doctor on my first visit to the clinic at 8:50am on Mon 12th November 2007, I was very stiff and
in considerable pain at the time.
After a thorough examination and answering a number of questions the doctor agreed to give me an adjustment.
Lying on the couch, face down, immediately after the first three ‘pressings’ on my back I noticed an immediate improvement
in my ability to move and turn over: and to lay on my back. Some more adjustments were made to my neck shoulder and leg.
By 9:45am I was back in my car driving, again an immediate improvement was apparent, because of the increased range of
movement in my neck, there was no longer any need to position my car in a certain way in order to see oncoming traffic at
tee-junctions.
By 10:30am I was on a court having my weekly lesson, the coach could not believe how much I had improved since the previous
week; I was, able to flex my serve for the first time in months.
As a 72-year-old, whose body has had years of self imposed abused, including many years of rugby, surviving skiing accidents,
and several incidents of surgery, I was quite frankly amazed how much better I was after just one visit. I do not suppose
that every patient will experience such a major improvement in such a short time. However, it has been proved to me
conclusively that chiropractic can and does work for some of us.

I was aware of the existence of a Chiropractor in Church Road – I passed it almost daily, when I worked at Allders
(now Primark).
My daughter Jo met and spoke with a chiropractor in Twickenham. From conversations with Jo, thought I’d come to Church Road,
and “give it a go”. I was feeling stiff and achy, could barely turn my head to the right and generally lacked energy.
From x-rays, I was able to see that my pelvis was tilted, spine was slightly “S” shaped and my neck was so far forward that
neck vertebrae were starting to rub together causing early arthritis.
You don’t know how poorly you were feeling, until you start to get better! Initially the relief from pain was wonderful.
Now I feel comfortable, supple, more energetic, and more confident with physical challenges!
Chiropractic has made me more aware of my posture, and I continue using exercises that were given and having fairly regular
check-ups.I would definitely come if I did “damage” to myself and was in pain. (I would not go to GP for painkillers).
I would recommend chiropractic to anyone with aches and pains-asthmatics-migraine sufferers etc; anyone who has a sports
injury or car accident.
I hear chiropractic is even good for children.

I was introduced to the clinic by my daughter who has been a patient and who had no hesitation in referring me. I had been
suffering with back pain for some time and finally decided it was time to do something about it.
After the initial consultation I learned that this was due to arthritis and subluxations in my spine. I have now had four
chiropractic adjustments and I am feeling much better and can move without being in pain! I am pleased that my daughter
persuaded me try chiropractic and would love to continue with care.
I would recommend chiropractic to everyone.

I first heard about the clinic through my brother who came here a good few years ago and suggested that it was worth trying.
I was suffering severe back pain and was told by my GP that it was “lumbago”.
I was diagnosed with Type 1 Hereditary Body Myopathy three years ago; this means that my muscles are deteriating. There is
no cure nor is there any medication that I can be given.
After my initial consultation, in April 2007, the Dr told me that my spine and neck were both misaligned. Also that my
pelvis was twisted and my nervous system was out of synch. I was told that I needed intensive treatment for the 1st month,
which meant a visit to the clinic 3 times a week.
Being the sceptic that I am I went away thinking what has my nervous system got to do with my back pain? How is the Dr Going
to help straighten me out?
To my surprise Chiropractic has helped with me overall well being, I have more energy, feel less stressed, am sleeping
better, my posture has improved no end and I feel like a new person! (The person I was about 15 years ago) Friends say that
it’s nice to have the “old me back” Also an added bonus is that for the first summer, since I was a child, I didn’t suffer
with hay fever.
I have check ups with my consultant at Kings, once a year in January, and am looking forward to his comments on my improved
posture and well being.
How do I see myself utilising chiropractic in the future? I will need adjustments on a regular basis to keep me at the level
that I am at the moment. Combined with regular exercise and healthy eating it has become part of my everyday life.
I would recommend chiropractic to anyone who has back problems, who is stressed or emotional. My husband would probably
benefit but he doesn’t go to the Dr’s etc. unless he’s on death’s doorstep!
I would also like to say a huge thank you to, Adil, Peter, Liz and Jill for all their help and support during my adjustments.
You are a very welcoming and friendly team.
Thank you

A BIG THANK YOU
After nearly 3 months of treatment at your Clinic I thought it was time to praise your work. I live
locally and always passed by the clinic, never giving it a second glance, merely dismissing it as
"one of those places where cranks go". I did not know, or understand, what chiropractic was about
as I have never had any pains or injuries that my GP couldn't treat.
I suddenly developed a back complaint out of the blue at beginning of October 2005, which completely
painfully curtailed all normal activities. A visit to my GP suggested a pulled/strained muscle and
was sent home with painkillers, which I only took for a week. I don't like taking drugs unnecessary
and they made me feel ill, and they ere only covering up the pain which was still there - not
eradicating it. Several more visits to the GP got me nowhere, so eventually he suggested a
chiropractor.
As I had a walking holiday booked for May 2006, I was desperate to get sorted out in time. I say a
walking holiday, but actually it is more of a challenge for me-it is called The Coast to Coast Walk,
and 197 miles are to be covered, walking every day for 14 days. As I am a regular runner with a
running club, at the time of booking I thought it would be within my capabilities, but after 3
months of inactivity and pain, was beginning to doubt it.
I didn't realize how my life could be so improve until I met Adil. What a lovely, caring, pleasant
young man he is who gives much encouragement on progress. He was very professional in his examinations
and excellent in explaining my condition, and pointing out defects of my x-ray. However, I was
somewhat frightened at what he said he was going to do, but needn't have worried, all was well.
After the first treatment, I skipped up the road, on high, as I felt such relief already. After
few treatments, I realized he was treating other aches and pains I've had for ages, dismissing
them as simply getting old. He advised me about dehydration, drinking more water, and less caffeine,
now drinking nearly 2 litres water daily, cut out chocolate, biscuits and cakes, and feel GREAT!!!!
Within 2 weeks of visiting the clinic, he got me walking and jogging again-what bliss! Gradually I have increased
in fitness and am now in training for my walk. So far I have managed long Sunday walks up to 20
miles (8 hours), as well walks/jogs several times during the week. Although I am not pain-free yet,
I have definitely improved, all thanks to Adil, and also James who treated me in Adil's absence -
who I may add is also pleasant, caring and attentive. Many many thanks for getting me going again,
I was getting a bit depressed about my lack of activity, but now I feel on top of the world, Everest
here I come!!

I would like to express my gratitude to you for the treatment I have received under your care. Since coming to you over the
last few months, I now feel 100% better. I cannot believe that after near on 12 years of pain endured whilst walking, with
on end of painkillers and doctors' visits, I now feel so much better. I only wished that I had known about the treatment
sooner.
Yours sincerely

I would like to thank you for the work you have, and continuing to carry out on my neck and various parts of my back.
I first came to your clinic last month feeling quite depressed after I visit to my doctor regarding my neck and being told
it was arthritis and that nothing could be done about it - not even suggestion of x-ray!
Felt such a relief within first few treatments and movement has so far improved from 20% to 80% - amazing! Thank you so
much. I wish I had come to your practice much sooner as I have lived with the discomfort for years- Silly Billy.

I came into your clinic bent over with pain in my leg and lower back using a stick to help me walk.
My GP stated this was because of my age 78, wear and tear and arthritis, and prescribed pain killers
which had little or no effect. After a consultation with Dr Adil Karmali and I had been shown the x-ray of
my spine I decided to have a course of chiropractic. After a few sessions I was free of pain and
about 2 inches taller and was able to discard my walking stick. As well as the above, the crick in
my neck, the swelling in my knees and feet and the pins and needles have disappeared. The treatment
is painless and I feel good after each session. All this without the use of drugs or painkillers.
Thank you

I am writing to thank you for all the help you given me over the last few months. I must admit I
was somewhat sceptical and unsure that you would be able to help, but I have been pleasantly
surprised by the effectiveness of your treatment over such a relatively short period of time.
I have suffered back problems over a number of years, and I am delighted to say I now feel able
to get on and enjoy a normal life free of pain. I would have no hesitation in recommending others
to your practice, as I feel sure they could benefit from your expert help and advice.
Yours sincerely
Robert Gillman
