Health for Life Spinal Wellness Centre

Despite being on strong prescription painkillers, I arrived at Health for Life centre with excruciating and debilitating sciatica.Dr. Homoky designed a personalised treatment plan which included weekly spinal adjustments, and gentle and effective exercises.Three weeks later I completely gave up medication and I was able to enjoy longer walks.Having just completed my first 6-weeks treatment plan, I am delighted to say that my posture and gait have improved Dramatically! After suffering for almost a year and refraining from much social life, I am now a new person! I love how Dr. Homoky challenges the way pain is perceived, emphasising on the importance of trusting our own body's ability to heal itself and maintain health through chiropractic.Everyone at the centre is very welcoming, professional and respectful, and I would recommend Health for Life Kelso to anyone wanting to improve or maintain their wellbeing.

Confidential, grounded and connected consultation and examination of possible roots of my symptoms following whiplash injury. Optimistic path towards healing long term neck pain and persistent headaches is underway.

after having sore neck for over 6 months i finally gave in and booked appointment with the clinic, after my consultation, dr homoky had an idea off what could be the problem and was on the case straight away, after an x-ray he could see the problem and began treatment, 8 weeks on and things are a lot better and still 8 weeks to go i notice a massive difference after every session , can’t thank dr homoky and now on the right track

In May 2015, after suffering with pain in my left leg for some weeks, my wife persuaded me to make an appointment with Health for Life. Paul examined my spine and identified a kink in the lumbar region which was nipping the sciatic nerve. He wisely arranged for me to have my spine X-rayed to confirm his diagnosis before commencing a programme of adjustments. This entailed attending the clinic twice a week over several weeks to correct the problem. I was pleasantly surprised to discover that there was no need to remove my clothing and the treatment was painless. I was given exercises to do at home to supplement Paul’s work at the Clinic. I am pleased to say that the sciatica has not returned and, as a bonus, my posture and fitness have both greatly improved. A job well done!A year later, I was experiencing a lot of pain in my left knee which was limiting my ability to walk. As I am 72 years old this was not altogether unexpected bad news. Paul recommended that I should see Jason who had just joined the Clinic as a Physiotherapist. Jason diagnosed osteoarthritis but recommended that I should arrange an x ray at the BGH through my GP to get this confirmed. Jason discovered that my gait was wrong and this was putting undue stress on both knees. He worked on my leg muscles, recommended that I should wear a knee brace and gave me some daily stretching exercises to do. I can now take my dog for a reasonable walk of 3 miles without using the painkillers prescribed by my GP. At Jason’s suggestion, I have recently had a course of hyaluronic injections in my left knee cartilage from a Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon. I am optimistic that I may be able to resume hill walking in the New Year.I now attend the Clinic for monthly appointments to maintain my present level of health for as long as possible. I have no hesitation in highly recommending Health for Life and Paul and Jason. They have an excellent knowledge of their professions and both have a nice friendly manner. They explain their proposed treatment plans thoroughly and involve you in the process. Had I not plucked up the courage to seek help in 2015, I am quite sure that I would now be shuffling along with a stick, have a bent back and be experiencing pain in both legs.

As a new chiropractic patient I was nervous with what to expect. Health for Life made me feel welcomed, at ease and explained everything to me at a level that I was able to fully understand. All the staff at Health for Life were courteous and very helpful. As a result I have been a regular patient at the Health for Life Spinal Wellness Centre.

I have used Chiropractors for nearly 40 years and this is the first time I have had a meaningful diagnosis of the cause of my back pain. Improving every day! Need I say more!

Lower back pain has been my constant companion for the past decades. When I lived abroad, my GP there was also a chiropractor, a very big help on days when I was barely able to stand up straight. I moved to Scotland 10 years ago, and unfortunately the GPs here usually prescribe pain killers and rest. Which helps... for a little while. But things were not too bad, so I coped. At the beginning of this year, however, I was suddenly unable to stand up, took me a month to get back a bit ok, so it was time for a change.I was referred to Paul by a friend, and I am very happy I found out about his clinic. I have now been in treatment for several weeks, and I can only applaud for how he approaches the issue. He doesn't treat symptoms only but goes to the root cause of the issue and starts from there. He also understands that body and mind always work together, so he pays attention to both.Every time I leave the clinic, I feel better than the last time. Slowly but surely my back improves, and I can say with certainty that his treatment together with his directions on how to have a correct posture, relevant exercises, and his positive advice have been instrumental in that. Very happy customer.

When I first started the sessions I was taking pain killers everyday for my migraines and was scared to do any sort of fitness without it causing a migraine, now I can do as much sport as I want without even having to worry about headaches. We first saw Health for Life at the Border Union Show in Kelso, where we had a free assessment with Paul. I found out I had a curvature in my upper spine which was leading to my headaches. I started the sessions and I was going twice a week and I am now going once every eight weeks for a check up. The chiropractor session have cured my migraines and instead of taking pain killers almost every day, I now have lost count when I last needed them. I think Health for Life is a great service and would recommend it to everyone and anyone. It not only cured my headaches it also improved my posture.Thank you very much Paul for helping me get rid of the migraines.Gregor Young
