Woodside Osteopathic Clinic, Hitchin

I found Woodside Clinic at a point in time when my back pain had become so debilitating that even sitting in a chair caused me pain. Over the course of a number of months I had developed pain and spasms that had seen me referred for an MRI scan which revealed protruding discs with lost fluid. I had initially turned to a physio who had actually made some of my symptoms worse and given me some very bad advice. I had also previously seen an osteopath where the experience was quite aggressive and painful. Both of these experiences had made me apprehensive and nervous of seeking treatment. When I walked through the door I was desperate for some help as for the last 6 months caring for my baby and toddler had become increasingly difficult. From my first session I gained some instant relief and was put at ease about the experience of treatment here. I've now been seeing Mark for 6 weeks and I have gone from just barely getting through each day, relying on two types of prescribed pain killers daily, to being able to enjoy trips out with my children and steadily becoming a more active mum. I now take only one of two lots of pain killers a week and have found extra relief in using the bio freeze that I discovered at Woodside osteopathic Clinic. I still have a way to go to get back to full function, but the progress and improvement in my quality of life has been amazing. What's more I've gone from being fearful of intervention and doubting that anyone could help me to honestly believing I can get better and trusting my osteopath completely. His manner and way of explaining why I'm experiencing the pain put me at ease and for the first time in a long time I can see a glimmer of light at the end of the tunnel.
