Testimonials

For years I thought I had a "bad" hip. The condition was aggrevated once I had children, and I eventually got to the point where I was in some sort of pain and discomfort everyday. I could only walk short distances without complaint. Grant was recommended to me by an orthopaedic consultant, and after one consultation I felt "cured". My life is no longer planned around what I think my hip can cope with. I wish I had visited Grant years ago!

I have had back pain for roughly 15 years and have managed it through pain killers, anti-inflammatory tablets and heat packs.  After Grant worked on my son’s back to rectify his colic and winding problems, I thought I’d give him a try.  I was struggling to pick up my baby and found it difficult to get into a comfortable position to feed him.  After just one session I could feel a difference and since having a few more sessions, I am no longer taking any tablets to help me.  Grant was completely understanding and provided exercises to rectify the problem.  Thank you so much – you have made life so much easier for me!

Having suffered hamstring problems for some time, I had not been able to train appropriately. After 2 weeks (4 sessions) my injury improved to almost no pain, and in just a few months the difference in my performance has been amasing! Grant has also worked on my back and neck to improve my posture and reduce the frequency and intensity of my migraines.

I went to Grant with a chronic hip problem which was ruling my life and which, after a course of treatment, has improved so much I barely recognise myself. I am now concentrating on strengthening myself up with the need only for 'MOT' sessions every 6 weeks. His knowledge and approachability, as well as his skill as a practitioner have made the whole experience an excellent one. I have recommended Grant to many people along the way and would say without hesitation that if you've got a problem, go and see him. You absolutely won't regret it.

In January 2008 I visited my GP with a painful neck and reduced mobility. The diagnosis was osteo-athritis and I was prescribed paracetamol. In June 2008 I developed lower back pain and pains in my legs when walking. By November 2008 the leg pain was much worse and I visited my GP. While waiting for a referral to a consultant I visited Dr Grant Pretorius in May 2009. After the first visit my movement was much improved and the back and leg pain reduced. Thereafter the improvement has been steady so that I am now fully mobile and virtually pain free. An added bonus is that the neck pain has almost completely cleared and I have not sought treatment for this condition. Excellent!

I was suffering with a shoulder problem that was painful whilst playing cricket. I also was suffering with lower back pain after sports and work. After a few sessions I am now throwing a cricket ball again. Putting my socks on in the morning after a hard day's graft or long sporting activity is easy compared to the struggle it used to be! I am very satisfied and feel stupid that I had left it so long.

I originally went to Grant for a free posture check  which he was offering at my place of work. I was hesitant and doubtful that anything could be done to help me. My posture has always been bad but I was now experiencing neck and shoulder aches and substantially more headaches and migraine than usual. Grant did a full medical history and examination and recommended acupuncture and spinal manipulation on my first appointment. The results were virtually immediate, and that evening I felt that my neck and shoulders were much more mobile. After further three appointments I feel better, my mobility is much improved. My neck and shoulders no longer ache and I have still have not had any headaches or migraines, which prior to this treatment were extremely regular and severe.

I was suffering with chronic back pain, such that I could no longer walk more that half a mile. Additionally, I had intermittent neck pain from an old whiplash injury. I have been using chiropractors for almost 40 years. I saw Grant for the usual assessment and review. He explained that my symptoms were largely caused by the muscles surrounding my spine. He used a type of acupuncture called 'dry needling' to address the muscular issues.  I had never come across this technique before but the response was immediate. I have subsequently had a couple emergencies with the neck and back which dry needling and manipulation have sorted out very quicly indeed. I have no hesitation in recommending Grant and have done to friends and family alike.

My middle back had been causing me VERY considerable pain and discomfort for years. Grant has been treating me for three years and after an initial course, I now have an adjustment every month which helps keep me in shape. At nearly 70 I am still able to carry on a very physical occupation with no discomfort and with great enjoyment. Grant's skill is amazing he quickly finds where the pain is and always relieves it.

In Grant you have a truly amazing, clever genius of a man. He has transformed my life with his wonderful chiropractic care but aside from that he is such a caring, genuine person, and you will not find a practitioner in the medical profession who will be more concerned about you and how your treatment is progressing. To Grant you will never be a number, but a real person whom he will care for and care about. I would also like to say to others: i realise now that it is important for us all to continue our chiropractic care even after we feel cured in an ideal world i now see that we should all have regular chiropractic checks throughout our lives after all, chiropractors themselves adjust each other every week! Would they do that if it wasnt necessary? My initial complaint was constant headaches for 40 years and i am now free of those. Thank you Grant for everything.
