Sciatica Treatment West Midlands

I was recommended to Maria many years ago. I had suffered a whiplash injury and the pain went all the way from my neck through to my lower back and worsened during cold or damp weather. After suffering for many months and thinking I would just have to live with it, I went to Maria on my friend's advice but admit I was not hopeful. However, after just a few visits, I felt the pain decreasing and gradually everything started to loosen up. I was shocked at how ‘tight’ I had become from being tense because of the ongoing pain. After around 6 sessions, I was able to stop going and felt absolutely fine. Every now and then I get some pain or stiffness due to tension but a couple of visits to Maria and I’m right as rain again! Now I only have to go every few years! I think the last time I went recently it had been over 6 years since my last visit. I recommend everyone to Maria including my own grown-up kids who also go when they need to. I can wholeheartedly recommend and wouldn’t consider going elsewhere:)

I have been having physio since last year with Alice she is amazing she knew something wasn’t right with my knee and worked on other areas that my injured knee had caused until I had a ct scan. Still currently having Alice for physio and I can’t recommend her enough really happy with that Rehabilitation. After having manipulation in November Alice put forward I should have 2 Pt sessions a week I started with Abi absolutely brilliant got my leg/knee more mobile. I’m currently working with Alex for the Pt sessions and we are building the strength back ready for my next operation. All the ladies I have worked with through Achieve are hard-working and absolute stars and can’t thank them enough - the support is amazing. I have more faith in the next operations I have due as I know I have a good support group behind me to help and push me forward.

My knee treatment so far has been great. John, the physio had a look at my difficulties and suggested a scan to ascertain whether I may have a meniscus tear. He also noted an imbalance in my legs, due to one hip being out of balance and immediately treated this. The adjustment has been a relief after years of walking with imbalance. I have an exercise programme and the use of TENS machine and massage each session gives much more freedom of movement without pain. Great value and a very helpful accomplished practitioner.

Miracle workers! Three years ago I was suffering excruciating back pain which I assumed was muscle strain. I was recommended to Physio and Health by someone local who had similar problems and had suffered for nearly a year before discovering this practice and finally getting the problem solved. I am old school and a bit cynical about these fancy practices but the pain took me there. What a revelation! Kiran took one look at my spine and immediately diagnosed the problem, a dislodged facet trapping a nerve, After three (rather robust) massage sessions over three weeks, I was back to normal, pain-free, and fit to go again. It was near to miraculous how such pain was alleviated so quickly just by accurate diagnosis and skilful application of technique. Three years later, having forgotten some of the lessons I was given, I had terrible burning pains in my lower right leg. The GP gave me pain killers and recommended an X-Ray, but with COVID, I stayed away from the NHS because of the pressures they were under and went to Physio and Health. Once again, Kiran diagnosed the problem straightaway, a spinal not a leg problem, though that was where the pain was. Again, a series of massage and traction sessions over a number of weeks, together with a series of home exercises, gradually sorted the problem. I am now back to normal, long walks and bike rides, hedge trimming and fence replacements, all are as easy and pain-free as before, total recovery! It's unbelievable (to an old sceptic like me) how much pain can be relieved with no pills, injections or surgery, but by accurate diagnosis and skilful physical treatment of the problem. I was more than happy with the charges I paid, in fact, if I had paid ten times as much to alleviate both episodes, it would have paid it, such was my discomfort. Both Kiran and Ami are extremely pleasant, but also efficient, with no time-wasting, and clear in explaining the problem and the treatment, and the long term recommendations to avoid similar recurrences. I cannot recommend this practice strongly enough. My admiration and gratitude for both, but Kiran in particular, who diagnosed the problems and laid out the course of treatment, are boundless. I was lucky in being recommended to this practice, and have not been reticent in extolling the virtues of this practice to my family, friends and neighbours. If the field of physiotherapy ever needs a saint as a figurehead, then St Kiran would be a good start. A heartfelt thank you for everything that you have done for me.
