“I was Soon Feeling Much Better”

Ten years ago I suffered from a whiplash injury after a car accident, I was in considerable pain and my doctor at the time was less than helpful and told me it would get better in time, it might take months or even years! A work colleague suggested I see Dr. James Rousseau, I took their advice and I was soon feeling much better.

Three years ago I had a trapped nerve, which caused excruciating pain from top to bottom of my leg, and I could hardly walk. Although this happened at a weekend Dr Rousseau treated me on the Saturday and the Sunday and after a few more treatments my recovery was quite quick and I shall be forever grateful to him.

“Treatment Had an Immediate Impact”

During the early stages of my career I damaged my back through what could be described as a freak accident or perhaps just bad luck. The last twenty-five years have been a case of managing a bad back, through events that have ranged from moving house to childbirth! My back pain would range from bearable through to severe cases of sciatica, which has been extremely debilitating. The bouts of sciatica usually lasted for a fortnight and then would slowly clear.

Approximately five years ago I tried to get up for work as usual. I don’t know what had disturbed my back, was it how I had slept? Was it lifting a child at work? I was in absolute agony. The memories are vivid, trying to stand upright in the kitchen, gripping the work surface, the pain and the tears.

Having been successfully treated, by Dr Rousseau for a whiplash injury twenty years ago, I phoned the Birmingham Chiropractic Clinic and booked an appointment. My first appointment went well, the staff at the clinic made me welcome. The initial consultation revealed how much damage I had sustained years earlier. Dr Rousseau reassured me regarding treatment and I booked my next appointment.

Initially I visited the Chiropractic Clinic on a regular basis, two or three sessions a week for a short period. The treatment had an immediate impact, I went from a person doubled up in pain, who found it difficult to stand, or sit or do anything for any period of time, to my current situation.

At this point in my life, the treatment I have received and continue with at the Birmingham Chiropractic Clinic has put my life back on course, many thanks to Dr Rousseau and all of his staff.

“Back on the Golf Course Within a Week!!”

About 15 years ago, I put out two vertebrae. Mr Rousseau had me back on the golf course in a week!! Over the years I have always visited the Clinic whenever I have had a problem. I trust Mr Rousseau implicitly and have and will always recommend him without hesitation. Thank you for all your help over the years.

“Able to Lead a Normal Life Once More”

In 1999, with no warning, I developed symptoms which affected my facial muscles. To my wife (who was watching) it appeared as if I was suffering a stroke because I couldn’t feel one side of my upper body, I appeared to stare unknowing into space, and the side of my face lost all feeling and was completely numb.

The doctor was called as I was too poorly to attend surgery and he was unable to make a diagnosis. Many hospital tests later, and still no diagnosis. I then had a brain scan in case I had had a mini stroke – still no diagnosis. Weeks past and then I had a second attack with same symptoms and no known cause.

Eventually through a connection with someone who deals with alternative approach to healing it was suggested that I visit a Chiropractor. This was done and on my first visit I was advised that main vertebrae in my neck had worn and the nerve was being trapped between 3rd and 4th vertebrae. The Chiropractor gave me exercises to do at home and after a few months of visiting the practitioner and doing the exercises at home the symptoms were controlled and I was once more able to lead a normal life.

James Rousseau has continued to care for me and show great care as well as a friendly, thorough and comprehensive approach to me and my condition. Everything is always explained fully to me, and the treatment has been a great success.
