Isolde, Sevenoaks: Avoided back surgery for sciatica pain.
I injured my back lifting weights (under the guidance of a personal trainer!) and I was luckily referred to Chris by a friend after developing excruciating sciatica. Prior to seeing Chris I had seen another physiotherapist and also an osteopath for probably over a year for my issues with my ankles, knees and hips. During that time I had a clicking noise coming from my back which the osteopath I was seeing at that time told me was “normal”. Unfortunately I only found out from Chris, after sustaining my back injury, that this was already a warning sign that there was already a problem and most likely my issues with knees, and hips came from the problem with my spine and my underlying hypermobility which no-one had mentioned before. I had an MRI scan a few weeks after I started with Chris which confirmed a disc prolapse. Due to the severity of my back injury the specialists did not give me any hope that any conservative treatment could work and kept saying surgery was my only option which added to my anxiety at that time. I decided against the surgery and continued on with treatments from Chris.
Since I came to see Chris for my back injury my life has really changed. Initially I was unable to do much other than lie down and I even had to travel to the clinic lying in the back of a taxi! Now I can lead a normal life and I value the support (and the dry-needling!) from Chris in this difficult time. It gave me hope as I was seeing improvements and I felt also empowered as I learned how to best move or what exercises to do to strengthen my body. About a year after my injury I had another MRI scan done. The doctor as well as the NHS physiotherapist who saw both my MRI scans congratulated me for having managed to heal without surgery.
Anyone out there skeptical about physical therapy I would suggest to give it a try and to have patience. I do believe that injuries happen often over a longer period of time so it will take some time to change and learn healthier ways but only like this will you truly be able to stay healthy and prevent further injuries. Thank you Chris for helping me find my health again!
