Mary Aghajanian Story

Not until one morning in 2007 when I was woken by excruciating pain did I realize how vital spinal care would have been in the prevention of this agony.

Seeking out medical advice at two different local medical centres to alleviate the acute pain pulsating through the left side of my neck, shoulder and arm was only the beginning of the journey ahead for a very desperate person needing healing, restoration and pain free living.

Professional medical diagnosis was frightening and down right hopeless.  Injections and pain killers were given as well as those hideous anti-inflammatories to manage the pain.  I knew I had to find a far better solution.  I was advised by those who treated me previously not to be treated by a chiropractor as there was a chance that they could break my neck. 

Seeking and literally praying for divine help and guidance I went to Sydney Spinal Care in Maroubra.

My very first visit with Matthew Alch was not only very professional, informative and comforting, but it destroyed the fear and hopelessness which made everything up to this point so much worse.  With his sincere, caring and quietly confident demeanor he assured me I was not beyond help.

At present the normal healthy curve in my neck has returned and I do live pain free.  No painkillers or anti- inflammatories, but certainly continued chiropractic care.  Matthew's preventative chiropractic treatment came to my rescue.  Instead of waiting months and years like before, we were able to promptly deal with these injuries before I permitted the injuries to develop over time into chronic degenerative changes.

Words are not enough to express my gratitude for Sydney Spinal Care, Matthew and his team.  I have over the last two years referred my friends and family to him and they too have experienced this healing treatment.

Katrina Lamberton Story

I first started to get very intense headaches whenever I woke up in the morning and sometimes during the day. I also used to get back pain. I told my friend Tate bout the symptoms and he referred me to his chiropractor Terry.

Terry first examined my spine and during the first exam he was able to explain everything he was doing and why he was doing it. I was able to understand everything that was going on which was reassuring. Terry explained my condition to me and the different courses of action we could take. Either quick fix, or try and correct my back and posture, so in the future there would be less chance of suffering more pain. I decided there wasn't much point in just getting it "patched up" because in the future the pain might come back.

I have never previously tried any help, besides Panadol when the pain was extremely intense. Since I have started with Terry on a regular basis I have not had one headache, compared to the one or two a day I used to get there has been a vast improvement. My whole spine is feeling much better, and even though there are times I still get sore I don't expect years of damage to be fixed overnight.

I have come across skeptical people who don't believe in chiropractors, but if they could experience the pain I was suffering with and the relief I have gained with Terry through chiropractic care they would get a better understanding of how beneficial going to the chiropractor is.

I would recommend anyone to visit a chiropractor, even if you're not in pain, just have a spinal exam and see what state your spine is in.
