PATIENT STORIES
Dear Dr B, I am thoroughly intrigued by how a small adjustment is making such a huge difference in my entire posture. I have been walking around since the appointment and feel so much lighter in my own body because my gait is so balanced.

I’ve been a patient of Dr Barny Lucas for a while. My first visit was prompted as I had a minor back injury, I had not been to a chiropractic clinic before, and like many I am sure, thought that chiropractic work was all about fixing backs andback problems. An initial consultation with Dr Lucas proved to be a refreshingly eye opener, and after an overall assessment what I quickly realised was that although I had a specific back pain that chiropractic work may help with, I also had some underlying problems and ailments that I’d just accepted as the norm which could be improved upon.
A year on, my initial back injury is long gone, but the major benefit has been that from my first treatment, I noticed a definite difference in my overallwellbeing, in particular improved sleep, less aches, pains and headaches,
and I certainly attribute this to regular adjustments combined with the ongoing information, advice and support I receive from Dr Lucas

Just wanted to say a big thank you. The last year has been great, and my back feels better than it's ever been but beyond the physical, mentally I feel in a much better place too so keep doing what you're doing!

Having been a patient under chiropractic care for the last ten years, I have dealt with more than my fair share of practitioners. Barny has proved to be amongst the best. His attention to detail and ability to find new ways of working with the most seemingly obscure defies logic. For example, recently after starting a new gym regime I discovered I was more balanced and flexible on one side than the other. Within one session this was rectified, much to my total surprise and delight. Coupled with this professional ability Barny possesses a very personable manner. He always takes time to explain precisely what he is doing and how it affects the body as a whole. I would, (and have), gladly recommend Barny to anyone considering treatment.”

I started seeing Barny over a year ago and was so happy with the treatment I received that now my husband, my daughter and I all see him once a month. Barny is an exceptionally committed and talented practitioner and a breath of fresh air. He is generous and he takes time to explain everything he is doing. He has made a real difference to our lives and it is obvious that his work is much more than just a job for him. He loves what he does and it shows.

I see Barny once a month with the rest of my family. He has really helped me with my concentration at school. I have GCSE's this year and seeing Barny helps me stay focussed and calm and confident. I have also grown a lot since he started treating me and have stayed healthy all winter."

I was introduced to Barnaby after months of severe back pain. Although I had sought other therapies, none would last and the pain would return. It became impossible to sit for more than five minutes and as I work in an office, I was unsure how I could continue working. I was also scheduled to fly to Fiji for my brother’s wedding and due to my problem sitting, I was highly considering cancelling. When I first met Barnaby, after performing various tests, he assessed the problem was mainly due to emotional overload of the previous months and gave me great confidence that he could help. The treatment did not just focus on the physical but on the mental and emotional too and shortly after the treatment began, the pain lessened, I felt stronger, more energised and generally more positive.
After a few months of treatment, I was well enough to travel to Fiji. So it goes without saying that Barnaby’s treatment is without doubt the most powerful and life changing treatment I have ever had.

Dear Barny, I didnʼt know much about your work before coming to see you but believe me, if Iʼd known there was someone who could help with my panic attacks, dry up my weepy eye and fix my neck, Iʼd have come and seen you much sooner. Just for the record, when you asked how much improvement Iʼd noticed since coming to see you I should have said 10,000%. Sometimes I canʼt quite believe how much has changed in such a short time. I feel myself almost willing on a panic attack as I canʼt believe theyʼve all but gone. I feel so liberated and as a consequence able to do more than ever. I guess what Iʼm trying to say is thank you!

I had the most incredible run! The body was amazing and at 18miles just muscle soreness (due to lack of training) but crossed the finish in 4:28! Just wanted to say a huge thank you for all your time and effort over the last 3 months! Not one niggle at all with all my complaints! Have a super week!
Achieving my dream at running the London Marathon after much injury became areality. The sheer genius at Dr Lucas and chiropractic is far beyond words. Chiropractic gives a sense of freedom within your own body and there are no limits as to what one can overcome. Dr Lucas – Thank you so much for all you did.

I had been experiencing a sequence of aches and pains in my ankles, knees and hips over a 2-3 year period that often manifested themselves after a night’s sleep. I had sought some advice from my GP who had referred me to a consultant rheumatologist. The approach taken was very much to treat the symptoms but didn’t really seem to get to the cause of the problem.
I was recommended to Barny by a mutual contact in late 2011. I had no prior experience of chiropractic medicine when I first came to Barny but came to the first appointment with a very open mind as to what it could do for me.
My first appointment with Barny was a very enlightening and the scientific approach taken to conducting a baseline assessment made complete sense to me For a period of 3-4 months I have experienced no further symptoms in my lower limbs. Previously, I would have almost certainly have experienced at least one instance of the symptoms in the same time period.
In addition, I have had some unexpected benefit that I have noticed from the adjustments. For 3-4 mornings per week I had been waking up with stomach cramps which subsided after about 15 minutes. This has been going on for the last 2-3 years. Since receiving the adjustments, the cramps have completely disappeared from the first week onwards. That seemed like too much of a co-incidence to simply brush aside!
Barny is very enthusiastic and passionate about chiropractic medicine and is clear that he is really motivated in helping people. He has a very professional and friendly manner which really helps in placing trust in his ability from an early stage. I could not have predicted the outcomes from a series of chiropractic appointments and has completely opened my mind up as to what it is capable of achieving for me. Barny’s own enthusiasm has rubbed off on to me as I find myself frequently talking to friend and family about my experience!
