I was recommended to see the Chiropractors at Brunswick Health in Melbourne by my sister in law who forever nagged me about getting help for my sciatica and back pain. I avoided seeing anyone for some time because I have already been to so many doctors and specialist with little result. I was told I needed to “manage my pain better” and that there was little they could do other than surgery which offered no real guarantee.

I finally took my sister in law's advise because I realised I was getting worse and doing normal things around the house and at work was getting harder and more painful and I was worried about what I was going to be like in 5-10 years.

I must admit I was skeptical at first thinking what could they do that others couldn't, but I was soon pleasantly surprised. The first thing I noticed was their examination process was like no other I have had. (when I have seen other Drs you barely get to warm the seat!). They were thorough and ordered an MRI to make sure they could confirm their diagnosis. It turns out that I had damaged my 2 of my low back discs, something no-one has been able to tell me. Their explanation of what I had, what they could do for me and also what they couldn't do, was clear. Their clinic is professional, clean and friendly and they always give me sensible back advise that I can apply immediately. So far I have seen improvement in my back, something I almost gave up on. I know I have further to go but at least now I feel I'm going to get there. Thanks to my sister in law I now can see a future without back pain and sciatica.
