Full explanation of my shoulder and arm pain with clear next steps. I had targeted treatment and within minutes my pain was almost gone. For the first time, I have a clear diagnosis and plan. Very grateful.


Dr Adam explained everything in a way that was easy to understand and the treatment was very effective. Since my treatment in October, I’ve been pain free. Thank you for everything.


From my first consultation through to my shoulder operation, everything was fantastic. I felt in very safe hands throughout and I am now pain free thanks to Mr Adam and his team.
