I first attended this clinic on the recommendation of my Aunt, to hear a free talk on managing fibromyalgia, which we have both, independently, been diagnosed with.My Aunt, who lives in Wickford, was already a client and was full of praise for how much the team know about fibromyalgia and how effective the treatment has been at improving her mobility.I found the talk very interesting and was impressed by the knowledgeable and friendly staff. The clinic was also well presented.L at the end of the talk, those presented were given an option of booking an initial consultation, x-rays and first treatment for only £50, which I thought was worth doing, purely for the x-rays alone.I duly booked and was pleased to learn my spine is in pretty good shape, but I still opted to sign up for a full course of treatment, despite living a 35-40 minute drive away because I want to sort out the minor issues now, whilst I’m still fairly healthy, plus I have ADHD so I pretty much signed up on impulse, even though treatment is very expensive!🤣Sessions cost £50 (but comes down to £43 on the treatment plan) and an adjustment is only 10 minutes, so, if you don’t really need it because your spine is actually okay, you might be better off investing in a 30 minute sports / deep tissue massage once or twice a week.That being said, the knots in my neck / collar bone area are definitely getting looser and I’m more focused on my posture, which helps.The staff are also brilliant abs they actually listen to you and make you feel heard and validated.They’ve really helped my parental Aunt, who is quite a bit older than me and does have much more severe symptoms, so I do believe the treatment works and is not just a pseudoscience health treatment. I can feel the difference in my neck and I think, when I move on to the massage sessions (after a number of adjustment sessions, you switch between adjustment one visit and a 30 minute massage the next), I will notice even more improvements as I think that’s what will have the greatest impact on my lower back.Additionally, my maternal Great Uncle is a client of the Rayleigh clinic and he was also massively helped by them when he had an issue and physio via the NHS wasn’t doing anything.Once I’ve completed my course of treatment, I think I’ll find a chiropractor nearer to me (I live in Hornchurch), but for now, I’m very happy with the treatment and service.It’s also good that I’m coming to Wickford every week so I’m going on to visit my maternal Grandmother in Rayleigh, which is a good thing as I didn’t see enough of her before. Funnily enough, I’m trying to convince her to sign up for treatment as well as she has a shoulder issue at present which isn’t getting any better.FYI. Not only does this clinic specialise in treating patients with fibromyalgia, they also treat babies and those with disabilities and the clinic is accessible for wheelchair users, with reasonable amounts of parking on site, including wider bays marked for disabled users.It’s also nice and calm in there so ideal for people with sensory issues.All areas of the clinic are clean and tidy and toilets are a decent size.#fibromyalgia #chiropractic #wickford
