Since I was a teenager I have suffered severe pain in my legs and shoulders. I have seen a number of different doctors including an orthopaedic surgeon who took a bone biopsy from my right hip. Many visits to physiotherapists, chiropractors and acupuncturist all to no avail. In August 1992 I read an article in the Daily Mail by Dr Sherwood on how the back can cause pain in other areas. I immediately phoned Dr Sherwood practice and was told I had to wait two months for an appointment.

After seeing Dr Sherwood and a few treatments the pain in my leg had gone (something I had suffered from since a teenager) and the pain in my shoulders was cured a few weeks later. I must say that the pain in my legs prevented me from playing any sports from 15 years old onwards, including not being able to take part in the father’s race at my daughter’s school. I now lead an active life including playing golf 3 times a week carrying my clubs with a handicap of 19. Prior to seeing to Dr Sherwood I was taking powerful painkillers that did not give me any relief. My sleep was broken when I turned over to lie on my shoulder to be awakened by the pain. I cannot speak too highly of Dr Sherwood and his treatment but I think it is best summed up by saying that I am now free of pain, free of pain killers and can walk over 4 miles 3 times a week carrying a golf bag and thoroughly enjoy myself.
