Orthopaedic Clinics Cardiff

About 3 weeks ago whilst driving late at night, I felt a sudden twinge in my neck, which over the following 7 days progressed to intense pain in my neck and right shoulder. Pain killers were having hardly any effect and as I hadn't suffered any trauma to my neck or shoulder, I reasoned that it must be a trapped nerve (very similar to a rampant toothache). I did a search on Google and found my nearest Chiropractor was Olwen Griffiths, Pontypridd Chiropractor in Hopkinstown, so have struggled to complete my weeks work I contacted Olwen and booked an appointment for as early as possible, which luckily was two days later. Olwen put me at ease as soon as I met her, she explained what the problem was and answered all of my questions without the dismissive attitude of many general practitioners, who, assume that because I'm a long-distance truck driver, I couldn't possibly know what was wrong with me and have no right to question a doctor! The treatment I received was neck manipulation which I can only liken to when a person pops their knuckles, there was no discomfort other than what was being caused by the trapped nerve and although my treatment required 5 visits, I could feel the difference even after the first visit and although the pain did come back after two or three days, it was not so intense. Over the course of my 5 visits to Olwen's clinic, I was met with a friendly smile, I was seen within 5 minutes of arriving, she checked how things were progressing and then proceeded with the next course of treatment. Now after my 5th visit I'm going back to work on the 18th, the pain has diminished to the point where I can get a good night's sleep and only need pain killers occasionally. Olwyn advised me to move my neck as much as possible while driving and if there is any regression then to contact her immediately (even on a weekend) and she will get me booked in for another treatment as soon as she possibly can. I couldn't ask for better service than that. How refreshing it was to have someone listen to my problem and then to treat me in a friendly, courteous and professional manner. I highly recommend Pontypridd Chiropractor if you are suffering with neck or back problems. Thank you Olwen.

Extremely happy with my treatment. Very pleased to have Antony as my physiologist and Sue the receptionist a lovely lady.
