Sciatica

I cannot recommend Skelian enough. I have suffered through work and exercise related pain/discomfort for such a long time now but within 6 weeks Alex has identified the issues, got to work immediately and I have felt huge improvement. I have exercises to do at home also to ensure this is a long term gain. It’s really been a game changer. The team are professional, friendly and so focused on your needs. The whole experience has been top notch.

“Brilliant service. I got booked in very quickly when I was in quite some pain, which was very much appreciated. Alex has talked me through the symptoms, causes and treatment plan every step of the way. He has been great every time I have seen him, the consistency in who you see is important for me as well as after work appointments or weekends so all this flexibility has been of great benefit.”

“Fantastic service and excellent staff. I’ve been going to Skelian for probably more than 10 years now. I’m tall and my job involves a lot of sitting both of which are often causes of back pain. I go at least once every 3 months for preventative maintenance and I always walk out feeling 6 inches taller. Crucially my back rarely gives me any grief now and when it does the team are on hand to sort it out. All treatment is explained in ways that are easy to understand.”

“Can’t recommend Skelian enough. For a chiropractor cheltenham direction this is by far, the very best near me. As a farmer my work is very physical and I was suffering with sciatica and shoulder pain. Skelian were very professional and gave me an idea of how fast treatment would be and the realistic expectations, and over time my problems are almost gone. All the treatment was very discreet too and great to know they take patient confidentiality seriously. Wish I could give more than 5 stars. Thanks.”

“I have been going to the Skelian Clinic for more years than I care to remember both for general ‘maintenance’ tweaks and also occasionally for a specific problem – sciatica being the most recent cause for visiting. Without exception, every member of staff is friendly, welcoming and professional. The fees are reasonable and I have always felt that I have been given enough time for treatment. Since Covid the staff have been scrupulous about hygiene and I have always felt very comfortable continuing to use their services. I see Victoria West and she has worked wonders on me on more than one occasion. Highly recommended.”

“I’ve been seeing the lovely Alex for just two and a half weeks with a neck/shoulder pain issue I’ve had for many years. I was previously told that it was genetics and there were things we could do to mitigate the pain but it would always be there more or less. Since seeing Alex, I not only am virtually pain free but I can visibly see the improvement. I never thought that would be possible and can’t thank him enough.

He’s also the first person to explain exactly what the issue was and is going to show me how I can strengthen the right muscles to keep the issue from reoccurring which gives me hope that I will remain pain free.”

“I had the best sports massage with Dani this morning. She was so knowledgeable and informative, and advised what would be best for my sports injury from playing netball. If you need a sports massage in Cheltenham, you definitely need to go to Dani! Thank you!”

“Have only just begun going to Skelian, 3 treatments for my back and neck so far. I must say that Victoria West is amazing. I have never felt so relaxed and in less pain. Would give 6 stars if I could.”

“Jonathan was attentive, caring and sympathetic about my frozen shoulder. He explained clearly with the ultrasound where the pain was and reassured me that there was no underlying issues. The agreed result was for me to have a Corticosteroid Injection to stop the pain that I have been suffering with for the last 3 months. Now I can let my shoulder heal without the excruciating pain that I had been suffering and finally start exercising again to hopefully speed up the recovery.”

“I’ve been seeing Ellie for a few months now and look forward to the treatment each time. I’ve been suffering with my back for a few years, and previous physio treatment hasn’t done much for me. As soon as I started with Ellie, my recovery was noticeable in the matter of weeks. I’m now able to do simple tasks that I previously couldn’t. Couldn’t recommend Ellie or Skelian enough, or thank them for what they have done to aid my recovery :)”
