I am 59 years old and I live in Woodbridge and work locally as a gardener. Unfortunately I have had a long term injury with terrible pain in my shoulder and elbow. I have had this for over 2 years and it got to the stage where I was finding it difficult to do my work. I had tried physiotherapy and seen my GP and was told initially I had a frozen shoulder. This diagnosis was then changed to me having an impinged nerve in the shoulder and chronic tennis elbow. In December 2014, the pain had become so extreme I had to stop work. Another session of physiotherapy didn’t change things. I then read about the stimpod treatment for nerve pain and decided I would try Mr Atkinson’s treatment. After the first session, to my amazement the pain eased back significantly and I actually did some work and maybe overdid it as there was still some shoulder pain although the tennis elbow felt fine. The second session was a week later and again after this session, all the nerve pain had gone and I was able to get full arm and shoulder movement. To be honest I was just so pleased to be pain free that I was scared to do anything to bring it back, so I only did very light work for the next few weeks. But now, years later, I’m amazed that I’m still completely pain free and working hard again. I’m very grateful to Mr Atkinson for what he has done for me and have been telling all my friends to try the treatment for their aches and pains!
This client based in Suffolk is linked to the monthly clinics that I conduct in Ipswich. Whilst the most common pain condition treated is sciatica and back pain, neck and shoulders and associated arm pain is becoming more prevalent. The treatment required using the stimpod electrotherapy over the brachial plexus nerve system in the neck and shoulder and then working points down the nerve pathway in the deltoid muscle in the arm. Finally some points in the radial nerve in the elbow and lower arm were blocked to relieve the tennis elbow. It was very pleasing to see such a good result after only 2 sessions!
+ View Consultant ProfileI am 40 years old and have since a young age suffered from an intermittent trapped nerve condition in my neck. The symptoms of this condition being anything from acute, consistent pain in my arms, lasting for days/weeks on end, to full muscle wastage resulting in degeneration of the scapula and reduced muscle bulk to the latissimus dorsi [this has occurred on two separate occasions]. I have received consultation from leading orthopaedic surgeons and diagnosis from senior nerve conduction specialists on Harley Street, all of whom have been unsuccessful in recommending a specific course of treatment due to the complex nature of this injury type. By chance I read about Keith in a local publication and with all other avenues exhausted, decided to try his Neuropathic Pain Relief therapy. After 3 sessions in close proximity with Keith, the existing pain in my arm [which had been there for weeks prior to my appointments and was showing no signs of subsiding] had totally disappeared. I was amazed. At no other time have I received such a short course of treatment with such impactful results. It is because of this I am compelled to provide this endorsement, and happy to offer anyone considering Keith’s treatment my unreserved recommendation.
Rob had exhausted many avenues and was highly knowledgeable regarding his pain and how it was affecting him. His options were limited as invasive surgery in the cervical spine was something he wished to avoid. Using external neuromodulation (pulsed radio frequency) I worked on all the nerve pathways from the neck into the shoulder and down his affected arm. Even after one treatment Rob noticed a huge improvement and I was pleased to be able to discharge him after three sessions as he was pain free.
