My Experience with Dr BenAfter having a C4/5 neck cage surgery in 2010, I had always struggled with neck stiffness, restricted movement and ongoing back and neck issues. In June 2026, heavy lifting and dragging large tubs severely aggravated my neck and back. What followed was weeks of frightening pain, muscle spasms, dizziness, vibrations and pulsing sensations through my head and spine, along with jaw and temple pain and swelling. I made several visits to my GP, urgent care and physio, tried pain medication, heat, ice and other treatments, but I was still struggling and becoming increasingly anxious and overwhelmed.Eventually, my GP recommended seeing a chiropractor. Although I was nervous because I hadn't seen one in over five years, I drove to my old chiropractic practice and, in desperation, called for help.That's when I met Dr Ben.From our very first conversation, Ben was calm, compassionate and genuinely listened to everything I have been going through. He reviewed my history, performed assessments and X-rays, explained what he believed was happening and gave me a clear plan for recovery.I committed to the recommended treatment, including regular adjustments, stretches and exercises. Over the following weeks, I gradually noticed improvements. My spasms and vibrations settled, my dizziness eased, my pain reduced, my neck movement improved and I started feeling more like myself again. By around the two-month mark, the pulsing and vibrations had significantly reduced, my head and neck felt less tight and tender, and I had much better movement.Recovery has been a journey, and I'm still working towards feeling completely myself again, but the difference in my physical and mental wellbeing has been incredible.What makes Dr Ben so special isn't just his professional knowledge. He genuinely cares about his patients. He listens, reassures, educates, tells stories, sings, cracks jokes and somehow manages to put a smile on my face every appointment. His calm, witty and compassionate nature helped me feel safe and hopeful during one of the most frightening periods of my life.I truly believe that if I hadn't met Ben when I did, I would have remained overwhelmed by the pain and uncertainty. He gave me hope when I desperately needed it. I will always be grateful for your compassion, kindness, patience and dedication. You've helped me not only physically. Your guidance has shaped me to be more emotionally and mentally stronger as well during the process of my recovery. I appreciate you more than words can say. Thank you Dr Ben.
