"Painful Hip and Leg pain ", (new patient)
Dr. Tovar treating Chiropractor
I was very hesitant to see a chiropractor initially but after my colleague referred me to see Dr. Arthur Tovar following her successful treatment, I made an appointment and this has been the best thing I have done in a long time. After only three treatments I feel I have a new back and I'm pain free. My general mood has been greatly uplifted as a result. Remember it is very important to listen to all the advice your chiropractor gives you as this will speed your recovery process.

"Treatment of neck, back and shoulder problems" (Patient for last 40 years at Oxford Chiropractic Clinic)
Dr. Neary current Chiropractor
I have found it to be far more succesful in treating: back, neck and shoulder problems than general medicine. I now have far less problems with minor ailments such as colds, cough and headaches. I would strongly recommend the use of chiropractic care in preference to general medicine, it really does work. I suffered for several years with back problems before someone suggested I visit their chiropractor. I'm very glad they did!

"Back injury" (patient for the last 30 years at Oxford Chiropractic Clinic)
Dr. Neary current Chiropractor
I seek Chiropractic care after treatment for an individual back injury on the NHS for 6 months with no improvement; I tried chiropractic treatment with good immediate results. I have found that with regular visits my general health is good with very few colds, headaches, etc. I would strongly recommend the use of Chiropractic treatment as a non drug alternative to general medicine. Once you try Chiropractic treatment you will find as I did that it works very well.

These days I never leave too long between treatments. My testimony is based on results. I have tried other treatments but none work for me as well as Chiropractic.

The clinic staff are always helpful, friendly and efficient. The environment is welcoming and relaxing, the Chiropractor is kind and has helped with the back problem I was experiencing. He explains clearly what he is doing and the cause of the problem and how to help avoid future problems. I would recommend the clinic to anyone.
"My back pain, neck pain and pain down the arm are now gone, I have now more grip and strength in my hands."

“I injured my back as a teenager and I did not seek help then and now I have a desk job and I’m on a PC most of the day”
Chiropractic has absolutely enhanced my health; it has been my savior many times when I could not function.
I have tried many different chiropractic techniques over the years and SOT is the one that has suited me best, seeing as it treats the whole body rather than the spine only and not just addressing the localised symptoms. Now that I exercise regularly, my visits are less frequent and more about fine tuning and keeping my body align, but nonetheless they are an essential part of my health regime.
I would recommend anyone – even seasoned recipients of chiropractic care to go see the Chiropractors at Oxford Chiropractic Clinic.

“Sciatic pain, ovarian cyst and general sick feeling”
I completely believe that both Chiropractic care and Reflexology has helped my health as I’m no longer in pain.
I fully believe Reflexology has helped my general health as well as contributing partly or completely to the ovarian cyst I was diagnosed with earlier this year. I was experiencing severe pain and distress for months and had several hospital appointments before an ultrasound was taken and a 5cm cyst was found in one of my ovaries. This was monitored and reasoned up to the point of hospitalisation to remove it; I had also began reflexology care around one month prior.
During a laparoscopy in June the cyst was found to have disappeared; to say the gynaecologist was surprised was a slight understatement!
Since this date I have attended regular sessions with Arline and can say that I have never felt better!
Why do you seek Chiropractic care?
To continually sustain a healthy active lifestyle.
Has Chiropractic care helped enhance you overall health, and why?
Chiropractic care literally transformed my life. Previously I suffered from regular bouts of back pain, together with loss of energy and concentration, all of which contributed to the eventual loss of my job as a senior account manager. Since my initial corrective treatment I visit my Chiropractor every 3-4 months for a general check up and as a result I am now able to lead a perfectly normal life, holding down a very demanding account management job and participate regularly in a variety of sport e.g. badminton, cycling, ski-ing and rambling.
Testimonial
Soon after my 37th birthday I was at work when I began to feel ill. I was dizzy, unable to concentrate and I also had a strange tingling sensation in my left hand. I was rushed to hospital for heart checks etc, but no problems were detected and I was sent home. Over the next 6 months the problems continued with varying degrees of severity, from almost normal to feeling completely ‘poisoned’ in some way. I felt so ill I was unable to work or continue a normal active life. During the six month period since I was first taken to hospital I exhausted every conventional form of private traditional health care, including, X-rays, consultations with my own GP, a senior hospital consultants, physiotherapists and I also had a number of sessions with a neurologist culminating in a brain-scan. All possible ‘normal’ problems (including a trapped nerve, excessive yeast and multiple sclerosis) were eliminated. Unfortunately at the end of all the tests I felt worse than ever. Not knowing where to go next and in absolute desperation I went to see Dr Jon Howatt (after being recommended by a relative). I explained my rather strange symptoms and really expected him to tell me what all the other specialists had told me – “there is nothing wrong with you”, but to my amazement he listened very intently to everything I told him. At the end of my very first session Dr Howat carried out a number of physical tests on me that clearly demonstrated to him (and me) that there definitely was a problem and more importantly that it could be resolved.
During one of the tests, simply by leveling my bite using a wooden spatula Dr Howat was able to demonstrate that I could immediately increase the strength in my limbs, and on the removal of the spatula, my strength immediately disappeared. It sounds very far fetched and if I had not experienced it first hand I would not have believed it myself.
It transpired that the main cause of my problem was because I had a very irregular bite due to my having a variety of teeth badly worn down and a number of others missing. This had happened over a number of years gradually causing my body to be more and more out of alignment and as part of my general deterioration in health I had unknowingly also developed a severe intolerance to beef.
During the next 6 months I underwent a course of treatment with Dr Howat in conjunction with a specialist dental surgeon to permanently build the bite back correctly in my mouth and align my body as it should be.
Whenever I had been treated by Dr Howat I generally felt better, however the ultimate cure was not ‘overnight’, but achieved as a result of definite progressive improvement over a number of months. My treatment necessitated having a number of ‘fine tuning’ adjustments to both my new teeth and consequently the way my body had to be aligned by Dr Howat.
After approximately 1 year of very caring treatment my physical condition had improved greatly. I felt fitter and more alert than I had felt for many years, this eventually proving to me that my health had been actually deteriorating slowly over a long period of time and was only really noticed by me when my body was unable to compensate for all the misalignment and the situation became critical.
For the past 17 years I have led a normal life style and have in fact more energy now in my fifties than I did in my early thirties.
I consider myself extremely fortunate to be treated by Dr Howat. He is a very caring person and an absolutely outstanding doctor. Had our paths not crossed all those years ago I dread to think how my life ‘if any’ would have turned out.

Being particularly prone to back problems I have been
attending the Oxford Chiropractic Centre for over twenty years, once I was
virtually stretchered in, and following treatment I was able to walk out.
Nowadays I find that if I go every three months for routine maintenance
the terrible disasters of the past no longer happen.
What particularly impresses me about Jonathan Howat and his team is their total dedication to their work and the pleasant manner and sense of
involvement that is adopted by everyone working there whether they are working
on reception or treating patients, it is a real team effort.
This dedication is underpinned by continuing research,
intellectual reasoning and open minds, in my experience this service is
unique.
Grenville Collins.
Having sustained two injuries to my back and neck in my youth, I am quite sure that the ongoing maintenance approach is a major contributor to the good health I now enjoy in my mid 50's.
