Chiropractor What is McTimoney Chiropractor Chiropractic therapy
McTIMONEY CHIROPRACTOR Graham Morland-Smith
a chiropractic session in Blandford Dorset,
Glastonbury & Bath Somerset
Last night 16th March I attended another form of unusual alternative healing in Dorset UK. a chiropractic session in Blandford Dorset,
Glastonbury & Bath Somerset
It is now known as McTimoney Chiropractic. John McTimoney began this form of healing back in the 1950's after needing a chiropractor himself. Originally an engineer he trained rigorously for 3 years to develop adjustment techniques known as the toggle recoil effect, developing his own variation on this theme.
McTimoney chiropractic technique uses a light yet very fast movement by the chiropractor on the body. This allows the body to react by itself. There is no actual pressure just a gentle persuasion just a gentle movement which encourages the bone to return to its correct positioning without the usual force on a bone or joint as in normal chiropractic. My appointment began with the usual discussion about previous health and any prior accidents etc. My blood pressure and heart beat were measured. My eyes were extensively tested for the blind spot that everyone has and reaction to light etc. I had to perform several walking tests to test my balance. Well, if I were stopped by the police and asked to perform the usual drink-drive test of putting one foot in front of the other, I would fail! I was actually
unaware my balance was so 'off'.
The McTimoney treatment was fully explained to me, how it is to be performed, what effect it may have on me. Any contra-indications it may invoke. After some further tests and being asked if I was happy to proceed with the McTimoney treatment I happily agreed to go ahead with the treatment. The room was very warm and quiet with a nice relaxing aroma. I was asked to relax on the bed on my back. My unlevel pelvis was out and was worked on first. I was waiting for the usual cracks and crunches of chiropractic, but it wasn't forthcoming. In a few movements, my pelvis position was reassessed and my ankle bones seemed level! Okay so far so good.
The McTimoney Chiropractor worked my entire body including my very tight shoulders and a point about mid-way down my spine, all the time I was expecting some sort of cracking or discomfort, it wasn't forthcoming! I have a lot of painful trigger points around my shoulder blade and colar bone and wasn't looking forward to him working them, yet again I felt no discomfort.
Whilst I was laying comfortably on my front, the chiropractor worked on my spine and back. The noise of this McTimoney chiropractic is quite loud and sounds like I'm being slapped quite violently, yet the feeling is quite the opposite. Obviously I couldn't see what what going on behind me, but I did find my imagination going a tad wild and it was making me smile through the hole in the bed where my head was resting! Finally when the full treatment was over, I was asked in my own time to sit on the edge of the bed so that the chiropractor could check his work. I slowly raised myself off the bed and felt nicely lightheaded and happy. There is no being rushed out of the room to make way for the next patient, I was asked how I felt as he checked my new position. He was happy with our work and how my body had reacted to this treatment. I was given further advise as to what not to do over the next couple of days, he advised me to allow my body to heal itself and not to cross my legs! I was informed that perhaps it would have the effect of making my body ache a lot over the next couple of days and that would be perfectly normal and that I shouldn't try to stretch out or counter any aches.
How I actually felt is like I wished to go wild and dance around!
Last night I was feeling very cold so I went to bed early and cuddled myself into my feather duvet. I fell asleep almost immediately and awoke early feeling very refreshed. For the first time in a long time, I remembered my dream! And the dream was a very nice and relaxed one! How my body feels today is like another nice release, more fluid movements but my neck is still aching. It is a different sort of ache than usual, it is a cold ache and not a deep hot throbbing ache as usual! I can cope with that!
My opinion of McTimoney Chiropractic Chiropractor, try it, you and your body will love it!
Next appointment in Dorset next Thursday.
Another appointment today and my spine is beginning to be very straight again. I am holding my head up almost as it was before the accident, holding your head up automatically puts a smile on your face and gives you your confidence back! So today I am very happy. I noticed that after the appointment when I got into the car, I was sitting better. My pelvis has stayed 'in place'. This chiropractic treatment is working and, with miraculous speed!

WHAT IS DRY NEEDLE ACUPUNCTURE
THE ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE
I'd had a few sessions of chiropractic alternative medicine before I found out exactly what Dry Needle Acupuncture actually meant. It is literally what it says: using a needle without pumping Toxins into the body. The dry needle acupuncture encourages your system to work naturally. I have received great benefit from both dry needle acupuncture and Botox injections. I agreed to having the toxic Botox injections because I was distraught with pain. I am very pleased I agreed to botox treatment as it gave me breathing space for the more natural medicine Michael was giving me. Even after three months I have found the Botox injections are still at work. The actual pain relief I have received from these toxic injections have far outweighed the fear of having them in the first place! I am due for another appointment at the hospital for further Botox injections in approx 2 months. I am hoping and praying that my sensible course of chiropractic alternative medicine will mean that I can cancel this appointment. Although the doctors at the pain clinic hospital in Bath are very caring, very kind and don't treat me as if I'm mad, I would prefer not to receive any further toxins into my body. In order to achieve this, I attend alternative health care treatments often, and perhaps this is not in everyone's budget. Aparently local nurses at doctors surgeries also offer acupuncture, so it's worth finding out. Personally I feel I would go as far as to borrow money to receive the best of alternative medicine and be healed of my unbearable pain now also aided by Glucosamine Chondroitin MSM natural remedy (see bottom of this page for further details)WHAT IS DRY NEEDLE ACUPUNCTURE

I have found magical alternative medicine healing with Michael. I chose the Trowbridge clinic for my chiropractic treatment with Michael Copland Griffiths, I have not regretted it. Although I do sometimes find I have more pain on the day of the chiropractic treatment, the benefits afterwards has been nothing short of miraculous. The accident I had injured my neck and right shoulder and arm, the pain I have suffered over the past four years has been at times intolerable. Only my anger torwards the place I had the accident kept me going for so long. Now Michael Griffiths has offered me a way out of pain and anger. I walk taller and after 10 treatments am so optimistic about my future.
I have now had a few more appointments at the chiropractor and am begining to notice a feeling when the dry needles enter my body! Oh wow, I thought my body was to be numb forever, I have never been so pleased to have a feeling from needles! I've always been terrified of needles! These needles offer so much relieve I think I love them!
I am now working on building my lost muscle tone back up, something I couldn't and wouldn't have considered a few weeks back! I do 10 press ups agains the window sill every couple of hours. I keep the soles of my feet firmly on the floor to stretch out the muscles in my legs. I have a great view to exercise with and am positive of a full recovery! All thanks to alternative medicine, a chiropractor who listens, cares and heals.

CHIROPRACTOR MY CHIROPRACTIC STORY and why I chose a chiropractor to heal my pain
I had suffered immense pain in my right side of neck, shoulder, trapezius and arm for 3 and a half years. After initially been brushed off by the doctor and asked what I would expect for my age (41 years old at the time of the accident and female) I was told to buy anti-inflammatories and pain killers from the local chemist. In England you cannot buy strong painkillers over the counter. I was never offered the option of alternative medicine, dry needle acupuncture, chiropractic treatment from a chiropractor, cortisone injections, Botox injections or massage. After giving up trying to get help from my doctor, I moved back home. Home for the past few years had been Greece. The mild dry climate would be kinder on me for the approaching winter and I could take time to heal myself before the coming summer tourist season. I needed to be physically well to resume my job running the local beach watersports. Unfortunately headaches set in each time I tried to exercise to regain my former fitness. The local hospital gave me strong painkilling injections and placed me into a sling, which only served to aggravate my pain. Attempting to believe that it would help me get over it, I continued to wear it. Summer came and the pain didn't go, I was unfit to resume my work. Friends rushed me to the main hospital in a vain attempt to get my problem sorted. I was checked over by the doctors there who informed me that I should wear a collar to help cure the whiplash I had received and that I must come back for further investigations. After a visit to a private local doctor, he diagnosed a problem with my brachial plexus and an unstable shoulder that needed further investigation. Unfortunately investigations and treatment in Greece is not free and finally I ran out of money and returned to England, the place that had injured me in the first place. On my return I found a local doctor hoping he would help me. I was offered immediate relief and shown caring and consideration.
The new doctor pulled out all the stops to try to diagnose exactly what was wrong with me and to get rid of some of the pain I was still suffering with. I was given pain killing cortisone injections into my neck and shoulder at the pain clinic hospital. (I have since been given Botox injections into my neck, shoulder and trapezius. The Botox injections are nothing short of miraculous! After the Botox injections were administered, I suffered bruising feeling and found it very difficult to hold my head up, I felt like the muscles in my neck had been 'hit' and leaning forwards was impossible! But after about 9 or 10 days the Botox injections began to kick in. It is now 3 months since the Botox injections and I am still feeling relief and find my alternative medicine, the chiropractor can get on with his job and 'work' my body back into shape again.) I attended physiotherapy at the local hospital and after a few sessions was told that it was not helping me and I was to be referred on to hydrotherapy. The physiotherapist made a comment that played on my mind. He had said that he couldn't just click me back into place. I had been advised that a chiropractor could well offer relief to my problem, but I had not been able to afford this treatment before. I was now in a better position as I had began a new business with the help of a Government scheme aimed at helping people like myself get back their independence. My future was looking slightly brighter, so on that thought, I borrowed money from a friend and found a local chiropractor who offers dry needle acupuncture, massage and chiropractic as part of the service. The complete alternative healthcare! Michael Copland Griffiths has a very healing manner and makes me feel at ease (and not mad) the minute he smiles to welcome me. An hour was spent gathering my previous medical history and a physical check-up from top to toe. So far I have attended three chiropractic treatments and I'm having a cracking time! The nurse begins my treatment with a rather rough massage pushing all my out of place bits into place. Followed by some dry needle acupuncture into my neck and shoulder blade, then comes the chiropractor who checks on the position and prods my spine, ending with a sharp twist resulting in a rather shocking crack or two. Perhaps its nerves, but it always makes me laugh, and they do say laughter is the best medicine!
Well as I said, I have had only three treatments so far and have noticed a huge improvement in my posture. The pain had turned me into a scrunched up ball, attempting to 'get away' from the pain. At a usual 5'4'' I had been recently measured at 5'2''. The pain after each chiropractic treatment is still immense for a couple of days, but then I begin to 'come round', what I have noticed is that my eyes seem to be more open and I feel taller again! Friends have noticed a huge difference in me and my manner since beginning treatment with the chiropractor. I had turned from a loud, lively extrovert into a quiet grouch full of pain and whinging!
Now at last I feel confident of improvement in my condition. For the first time in almost 4 years I believe I can be relieved of my pain without swallowing large amounts of pain killers, with the help of a friend's loan and a chiropractor in Wiltshire followed by treatment by a McTimoney Chiropractor in Blandford Dorset and Glastonbury, Graham Morland Smith. For the best in alternative health care search for a chiropractor who uses dry needle acupuncture and massage to begin before administering the chiropractic treatment.
The medicine leaflet advises not to take the product if you are allergic to shellfish. I had never eaten fish especially
not shellfish! The first couple of times I took this medicine, I was a bit worried, but it didn't cause any allergic
reaction, I do find that it causes indigestion and sometimes a rather sick type burp, but considering the amount of
good work this magic pill performs, it's a very small price to pay! I don't intend to swallow an antidote for this sicky
feeling, I intend to get my body used to a different sort of vitamin supplement which contains

GLUCOSAMINE - CHONDROITIN - MSM
I have also found a miraculous alternative medicine. I am now supplementing my diet with a power pill! Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM. Recommended to me by Graham Morland-Smith, this alternative medicine has proven to help my pain immensely, it removes the dull warm throbbing pain I was still getting in my neck, allowing his chiropractic treatments to be even more powerful!
