Lower Back
Adam is the latest Chiropractor out of four to manipulate my Sacroilliac keeping me pain free and able to work the last six years.
Previously the earlier 15 years were a misery of pain using Osteopaths and Physiotherapists.
My hobby is Clay Target Shooting so his administrations have enabled me to be SBS English or British Skeet Champion six times.
My wife two weeks ago locked up bent double,seven treatments later she is walking upright and on the way to recovery pain free.
I highly recommend anyone having back problems or just wanting to take care of their body to go and see Adam at Coastal Chiropractic Clinic.
I originally went with back pain and not being able to stand up straight. After one session with Adam this loosened massively. As a performer I need to be able to get things fixed really quickly and he has always managed to squeeze me in and resolve whatever the issue may be.
I now have monthly visits which I find helps so much and he is always so friendly, makes you feel completely at ease and is great at what he does.
Adam I would like to express great thanks for your help and support over the last few months. I have suffered on and off with back pain for the last ten years and gradually the off was getting less and less, from the start of 2014 I had suffered daily with back pain, unable to walk long distances and finding it near impossible to stand in a queue for longer than 10 minutes. After approaching you in July (by mistake) my back has improved 100% and in the last 3 weeks have not had to take any pain relief. I have also started running….. which I have never done. I started the couch to 5k and I can now run 1.5 miles in 21 mins without stopping, I am improving at such a rate that when I see you on my next appointment I will have run for 30 mins without stopping. I have lost weight I’m much fitter but most important I’m pain-free most of the time.
Thanks again for all your help over the last 8 weeks or so….

Dear All, I started having a painful lower back approximately a year ago (reasons unknown). It affected my running and general daily activities. Having seen a doctor I was referred to a physiotherapist, but despite having treatment and consultations with them for about 8 months, I noticed very little improvement (if any). I then decided to use a chiropractor as an alternative method. I started seeing Adam at Coastal Chiropractic Clinic 5 weeks ago, and have had marked improvement, even from day 1. After my first visit, I could move around freely, I was really surprised how effective it was. I have had repercussions of my pains, but Adam sorts them every time I visit, and if I were to continue seeing him I’m sure it would just get better and better. Unfortunately, I am leaving the area, but Adam has given me a contact of another chiropractor where I am moving to, whom I shall definitely start seeing. I would also like to add, that to anyone who is thinking of using a chiropractor, it was a pain-free experience. I have sung its praises to my friends, and I would recommend it to anyone.

MOTHER AND SON OR SHOULD I SAY SON THEN MOTHER E-Mail from son whilst on holiday ‘BOOK ME IN TO SEE A CHIROPRACTOR FOR WHEN I GET HOME’. Having met Adam and his skeleton at a horse show, I thought just the man. I will send Chris first as I had been contemplating my own back problem, but had not done anything about it. Also, Chris could let me know what the treatment was like. Chris saw Adam on his return and said to me that I would benefit too if I went to him. His neck felt great. Chris is now on a maintenance programme. Consequently, I went to Adam and cannot believe how the treatment was so effective so quickly, it was a fantastic feeling and such a relief not to have awful pain. I am on maintenance now and visit the practice every three weeks. I continue with the exercises that Adam gave me to do which are also very beneficial especially to continue with my lifestyle and stay as active as possible. Having not known a great deal about what a chiropractor does I feel the treatment is the most effective and keeps me in good shape. Very glad Adam came to our horse show and my son asked to go and I followed in his footsteps. Thank you Adam.

Concerning Adam Carlisle B.Sc (Hons) Chiro. St Andrews Road South St. Annes on Sea. I take pleasure in writing this testimonial to the professionalism and to the effective and beneficial treatment that I have received at the (strong) hands of Adam at his clinic. I have had a history of back problems that go back to the early 1960,s and which were the result of unintentional misuse of the back muscles and spine. Since that time I have attended Victoria Hospital where I was fitted with a steel-ribbed corset to fix my torso in a rigid position where it could not bend. I later attended the physiotherapy clinic at Fleetwood hospital because at the time I was unable to get out of bed and I was given a course of treatment which did help the problem at the time. My back was X-rayed prior to this treatment. I have been taking various pain killing tablets prescribed by the doctors which did stop the pain but didn’t treat the core of the problem. The treatment at Adam’s clinic in the short period of a few weeks has identified the core of the problem and corrected the offending misalignment of my back, muscles and hip and I now have no pain. I am able to attend four or five Yoga classes each week and work in my garden growing organic produce. I am 81 years old and to be pain free at this age is wonderful.

To Adam Carlisle, Coastal Chiropractic Clinic. On the 18th August, 2007, I found myself in deep trouble with severe pain and spasm in my lower back, all because I lifted a bag of compost the wrong way. An appointment was made with Adam at the Clinic, and after finding out were the problem was, treatment started immediately. As we progressed through my treatment very quickly my pain and discomfort diminished. After a short time and through the 3 stages of care we entered into a six week maintenance and prevention programme. Through previous visits and Adams exercise regime, I now enjoy a very healthy back. I wish to thank Adam for the continued help and guidance that he has given me. Yours sincerely, Janet Soulsby.
November 2010 We started visiting Adam after Jo hurt her back lifting our new baby Noah out of his cot. Noah was having some problems too, and Adam offered to have a look. We’d never heard of a newborn baby having chiropractic but after a couple of sessions we could definitely see an improvement. With Jo’s back feeling much better as well, I thought I’d give Adam a try, as I’d recently had a in constant pain in my back, plus I’d had problem for years with trapped nerves in my neck. 6 months later and we’re all feeling loads better. We’re still seeing Adam once a month for ‘cracking into shape’. Noah always comes back relaxed and happy from his sessions, and as a result we’re more relaxed and happy. We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Adam’s chiropractic treatment to anyone, not only for the obvious benefits of a pain-free back, but also for the relaxation and general wellbeing that goes with it. Adam’s a great guy, really friendly and very good at his job. Thanks from all of us!

I had back ache for a long time especially doing certain jobs for example packing a suitcase or bending over for more than a few minutes. I helped my husband move a video cabinet and the pain went a lot worse. It was as though someone was stabbing me with a red hot knife. My GP sent me for Xrays and was told I had a lot of wear and tear in my lower spine. I was referred to a consultant who said I had a tipped pelvis and offered me a caudal epidural injection which I declined as he said he could not guarantee it would work. I had a small lift put on my left shoe and the pain subsided a little. I then went on to have physio, acupuncture and osteopathy none of which did me any good. I later found Adam at Coastal Chiropractic Clinic and he has been treating me for the last 12 months. I find his treatment very beneficial. I see him every 5/6 weeks and the relief I get is unbelievable. I know I cannot be cured but with his adjustment I can live with my condition quite comfortably. I am very grateful to Adam and would certainly recommend him to anyone in fact I don’t know what I would do without his treatment.

To begin with I would just like to give a brief outline of how I sustained an injury to my back. I am 78 years old but in my heart and mind I feel like I am still 21! Unfortunately, my body does not have the same strength and resistance that it did when I was younger and this is how it all began. One day in September 2009 I was cleaning the kitchen and thought it was a good idea to move our microwave, which is a heavy combination model so that I could give it a good clean underneath. Rather than waiting for my daughter to return home from work, I took it upon myself to move it myself. However, instead of sliding it over to the other side of the worktop, I lifted it up and instantly felt something in my back give way. I had never felt pain like this in my back before and as I couldn’t move, I had to call my GP out for a home visit. She gave me some painkillers and told me to rest. I tried taking the pain killers for a day or so, but they were that potent that I felt unsteady on my feet and very light headed. I therefore decided to stop the painkillers and try some holistic treatment. I attended for holistic treatment until July 2010. I did gain some relief but this was very short lived (2 days maximum relief) and the pain would quickly return to quite a high severity. Following this, as my symptoms had still not subsided and they were getting me down, I thought I would try chiropractic treatment. It took a lot for me to make this decision and I felt very apprehensive but I believed it was the right move to make next. I wasn’t sure if this would resolve my symptoms and had a doubt in my mind as to whether it would irritate them to be a lot worse. I was also very worried that the treatment would be painful. By this time I was desperate, every day I would have constant back pain and it was getting to the point where I did not know what to do with myself. Simple everyday tasks like walking to the shops which are only a few yards from our home to baking had become unbearable due to the pain. I made an appointment to see Adam. He was very understanding, very kind and very gentle. He has a great knowledge and experience which shines through and it made me have confidence in him and his skills. The treatment itself wasn’t painful at all. I attended treatment twice weekly for 7 weeks. I was greatly surprised as to my progress within this time and how my symptoms had resolved. This takes me up to September and by this time I was pain free for the first time in a year. In mid September Adam phoned me to ask if I had forgotten that I had an appointment booked with him. I apologized greatly and told him that I had forgotten all about my appointment as I had no pain. I am so appreciative to Adam for his time and expertise. Without his help I would still have constant back pain. He has most definitely worked wonders with me. Thanks a million Adam!
