"After years of no back pain and now being in my 60s, 6 weeks ago I injured my back lifting my step-son out of his wheelchair. I went to an osteopath as I lost almost all mobility and was bed- ridden and in dire pain. Unfortunately I didn’t benefit from the treatment received on this occasion apparently due in part to the acute pain I was in and I was referred via my GP to the hospital to get high strength pain killers. This cycle of immobility and pain killers (that didn’t match the pain) went on for a sorry period of 5 weeks which included an emergency trip to Barnet General in an ambulance to get morphine to release temporarily the pain. Eventually, I was recommended to Martine Nantes, an acupuncturist. Despite my initial cynicism about acupuncture, Martine Nantes managed in the course of 2 (and overall 3) treatments to bring me back to life in a matter of days, literally – I can now sit down in my lounge chair, walk and mercifully the pain has gone away and I no longer require pain killers. I’m incredibly grateful to Martine Nantes for bringing me back to life and I couldn’t recommend her highly enough, a sincere thank you Martine."
