Lucy FosterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was unsure whether my problems were substantial enough to benefit from expert care but decided to visit Kathryn at Manchester Back Care based on her great reviews. Kathryn genuinely listened and assessed my situation perfectly, explaining my experiences with the science and expertise I needed to better understand the problem, and immediately relieved my symptoms through treatment. Kathryn has ensured aftercare and provided a plan to follow for ongoing improvement. I'd highly recommend her to anyone considering chiropractic care. Mandala MancTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I went to see Kathryn after suffering for months with symptoms of a heavy head, neck pain, debilitating motion sickness, vertigo, anxiety, migraine and head/neck tremors. Kathryn really understood my difficulties. She listened attentively and compassionately and explained everything well. I’m pleased to say that Kathryn’s treatments have helped me feel a lot better in many ways. I feel calmer, lighter and can travel with no bad effects. My migraines are reduced in frequency and when they do come there is very little pain, just more aura symptoms. Kathryn has played a big role in my healing. She is also friendly, mindful and I always feel safe with her. Gouri Muna Abdel AzizTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was getting really desperate with neck pain and sleeplessness and this was getting worse. Someone suggested going to a Chiropractor and I went online straight away to check on the General Chiropractic Council as I wanted to be sure I would find a great Chiropractor. I am so very pleased now that I did. Kathryn stopped me getting worse and helped me get so much better, just within a few weeks. I've found the best part of the treatment is her care and conversation as Kathryn gives holistic advice and tips to help me stay on track. Second best is the towel neck stretch for instant relief. I'm pleased to report that I'm now swimming and exercising more, and much happier, sleeping so much better. Thanks Kathryn. Nicole CTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After suffering with neck pain for a while, and after visiting Kathryn, my neck feels so much better. She’s knowledgeable, professional, and really listens to your concerns. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for effective chiropractic care. Neil ViccarsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My experience here has been fantastic, not only is Kathryn a great practitioner, she has been able to give more holistic health advice. In particular after our first consultation she suggest and organised a private x ray for my back, as well as assisting my treatment from Kathryn, I was able to send to my GP which fast tracked a couple of other issues into the NHS, where Ive now seen consultants much more quickly than if I had just approach my GP directly. This small fee has been a game changer for my health. Jane McAnealyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Kathryn has been intrinsic to helping keep my neck pain & hip pain under control with regular adjustments, exercises & passing on the knowledge to be aware of how i am using my body on a daily. James SavageTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I'm a competitive runner and almost overnight developed intense back pain to the extent that I could barely walk, let alone run. I went to see Kathryn at MBC initially due to it being local to me, but it was a great decision as she gave me really effective treatment and sensible, pragmatic advice. I was able to return to running again after the treatment was over and within 6 months I had completed the Manchester Marathon. I would strongly recommend Kathryn to anyone with back issues. Donna SullivanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have never accessed a chiropractor but after suffering acute pain in my neck, limiting my movement I decided to prioritise my health. Kathryn is a very experienced, professional, chiropractor who is also warm and welcoming. She explained the whole procedure thoroughly and drew up a treatment plan, that made me feel confident in the process and made me feel in safe hands. My acute pain in my neck was eased within a few sessions and Kathryn has also dealt with a long standing hip problem. I can't believe how effective this treatment is - an unexpected side effect has been no longer having headaches, which were just part of my life. I thoroughly recommend Kathryn and Manchester Back Care. Ros GaughanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having seen Kathryn now for 6 sessions of treatment, I would highly recommend her. I have suffered with upper back and neck pain for years until it reached the point of low mobility and having a massive impact on everyday life. A cannot believe the difference in how I am feeling now and that is all down to the amazing care I have received and the advice I have been given. Kathryn is very professional, highly knowledgeable and cares about the full picture, assessing overall wellbeing as well. She is very thorough, supportive and treatment is tailored to suit with regular reviews. Most importantly, what Kathryn does works and I wish I’d found her sooner! Ken and YeanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having suffered from scoliosis and back pain due to long hours of computer work at 31 years old, I chose Kathryn’s clinic after seeing the reviews and she did not disappoint! Her diagnosis and treatment are highly effective, enabling significant pain relief and mobility improvements. When you visit her, you can feel that she is genuinely patient-centred, empathetic to your issues and takes her job seriously. Most importantly, I like that prices are transparent and reasonable for such a personalised service! So look no further if you are seeking for a chiropractor’s help for musculoskeletal/ back pain. Five stars.
