Re: osteopath in accrington ??
Try Martin Dixon, at The Accrington Clinic (bottom of Avenue Parade) He is the medic for the British Martial Arts squad. Both my husband and myself have used him and we were very happy with his treatments.

I wasn't, he seemed more interested in booking my next appointment than actually treating me. Go to Blackburn instead and try Mr Gutteridge on Preston New Road.

Re: osteopath in accrington ??
I would recommend John Bradley, Osteopath in Clayton, right at the traffic lights near Sparth House. He treats the whole body and was a great help with my back Tel - 381545

Re: osteopath in accrington ??
I am with Neil on this one.............Dixon was just after dragging it out.... Mr Gutteridge was so much better.... he treated my neck and back which had been out of line for 10yrs after a car crash...Dixon would still be working on my back now Gutteridge just looked at me and asked if I had ever been in a bad car crash?? I said yes but 10yrs ago..... He got it right just lookin at me.....
An after the treatment..did he book me in again????? NO he just said if it does not get better come back
Gutteridge gets my vote and many more that I know that have used him

Re: osteopath in accrington ??
right, now I have the dilema of who to send the wife to ??
the blackburn one which seems highly spoken of or the one next to sparth house ??
I think that she may go to the one at sparth house purely for the convenience factor ( just down the road ) but I also think the blackburn one may be good too ( who has a number for Mr Gutteridge) ??
how much does this type of thing cost so I know what I am letting myself in for ??
if anyone wishes to add anything else then feel free..
I shouldnt say that really cos if it means she wont be in pain then so be it....
thanks for putting me in this situation folks....

Re: osteopath in accrington ??
A member of my family went to John Bradley after getting fed up with getting nowhere at Martin Dixon's and had nothing but praise for him. Something that had been dragging on for ages was sorted out in two visits.

Re: osteopath in accrington ??
My hubby went to Martin Dixon and was not very happy with the treatment......he just seemed keen to make money......and he didn't make any difference whatsoever to the back problem.
MR Gutteridge in Blackburn has been going for years and I have heard he is very good.

Re: osteopath in accrington ??
The thing with John is he won't suggest more treatment if he really doesn't think it warrants it. Also he will be honest about how much he thinks he can improve the injury. He's also great at fully explaining exactly what is wrong and what's causing the pain. I think it's £30 per visit but long term if it helps, which it did me as I was completely seized up. But he was also honest enough to tell me that my back problem was degenerative and would always give me problems but only to see him when it gets unmanagable as he knows I'm not the most flush person around cash wise. He always said when booking next appt not to worry if it felt better before appt as he had no probs if I wanted to cancel.

Re: osteopath in accrington ??
I've never been to an osteopath but I have heard excellent things about John Bradley. My ex hubby used to go to Martin Dixon (he's probably still going there now). His problem was never resolved and it cost a bloody fortune.

Re: osteopath in accrington ??
Gutteridge is the best.
Martin Dixon cured me of something else with his Ying and Yang malarky, but I don't know about his reputation as an osteopath.
