Shield Clinic

The treatments are obviously having a very positive effect on my overall mobility and strength relating to my injury.I thought I would have carried this back injury for the rest of my life, but it is starting to go away—no less thanks to the great team at Shield Clinic.Apart from recovering, I also find the staff are very accommodating and polite. I have great conversations with them and feel very welcome. They explain things in detail until I'm satisfied and are very flexible when it comes to booking and moving sessions around.I very highly recommend.

I first attended Shield Clinic in early 2018 with sciatica. After regular appointments and treatment plus following through with the simple exercises advised my sciatica is a thing of the past thank goodness.My back and body are in such a good place that I have just taken part in my second Great North Run and knocked 12 minutes off last year’s finish time! I would highly recommend both John and his team to work on your back/body issues.

Incredible treatment that has changed my life, literally !!! Had been having severe pain for 4 months in my back and everyday life was unbearable. Went to hospital twice but, due to Coronavirus, was given very strong pain killers and sent away. No quality of life as bed bound most of the time. Decided to give treatment a go as felt I had nothing to loose. John extremely professional and really knows what he is doing. Lovely guy too. I am nearly back to normal and no longer in severe pain. The atmosphere in the clinic is very relaxed and friendly and the staff very accommodating and pleasant.

I was in a serious amount of pain, and on strong pain relief, when I first went to the Shield Clinic. I had a series of scans and tests, and was given detailed printouts of the state my back was in. I then had my next appointment a week or so later, to discuss the findings, and a plan of action to help me. I am now nearing the end of my weekly sessions, over 3 months, and the difference in every aspect is remarkable. John is the Chiropractor I see, and he's performed miracles on my back ! I'm a totally different person. I can't thank him enough, or the lovely receptionists, who make you feel welcome and relaxed from the initial assessment.

I have had back problems most of my life including aches and pains, stiffness and bad posture.I saw a deal from Shield Clinic which included a full spine assessment, consultation and treatment and decided to take it up. I was a little apprehensive at first but the staff were all very friendly, professional and thorough.The Osteopath went through my results and diagnostic and recommended an intensive course of exercises and treatments. Results were slow and I did struggle at first to find the motivation. However, slowly the aches and pains started to ease and get better. I had weekly appointments at first and did the back exercises 3-4 times.After 12 weeks, I had a re-assessment and the results showed dramatic improvement in my back. It felt stronger and more flexible and most problems had gone.Shield offer weekly exercise classes which are included for free as part of the package.You start off in Phase 1 which is stability, then progress to Phase 2 – Strengthening. Shield shows you which exercises and stretches are best for your back.6 months on my back is great. Shield has not only helped my back but educated how it works and how to look after it.Would recommend them to anyone with any back problems!

Following a back injury over 10 years ago I regularly return to the Shield Clinic to get repaired and get me working again. Prior to this I wasted a fortune on a range of traditional and alternative therapy none of which brought me the relief that I get at Shield. I would thoroughly recommend them to any and everyone without a moment’s hesitation.

I started coming here a year after my back surgery as my recovery had regressed. After a an initial consultation and a couple of sessions I could feel the benefits. I went from having 2 sessions a week and phased down over time to one every 4/5 weeks to keep ticking over. All the staff have been/are excellent and the various payment options and discounts for bulk booking make the whole experience 5 star!

The staff at Shield Clinic are professional, welcoming and friendly. I enjoy the sessions, they make me feel good physically and mentally. John is easy to talk to, he listens and understands what is troubling you and will try and find a solution to your health problems. I would definitely recommend this service.
