Neurological Conditions

Support and Relief for Neurological Issues

We Understand Your Pain

Here at The Oak Practice, we truly get how tough it is for our clients dealing with neurological conditions. It all starts with little signs, like pain, weak muscles, or trouble thinking clearly, which can get worse over time. These symptoms not only impact daily activities but also bring immense frustration and emotional distress. Many of our clients have spent years searching for answers, enduring countless appointments and treatments without achieving lasting relief. The traditional methods often focus on isolated symptoms rather than addressing the root causes, leaving individuals feeling hopeless and misunderstood.

The Pitfalls of Conventional Neurological Treatments

Despite their efforts, most people continue to struggle because the conventional approaches they have tried fail to consider the interconnectedness of their symptoms. They might have tried medications, which can offer temporary relief but often come with side effects that compound their suffering. Others might have turned to various specialists, only to receive fragmented care that overlooks the broader picture. The common experience is one of repeated disappointment: trying physical therapy for muscle weakness, only to find it doesn’t help with cognitive issues; or relying on pain management strategies that ignore underlying neurological dysfunctions. This process of trying and not getting it right not only spends a lot of money but also makes it tough to hold onto hope for a complete fix.

Since my last visit at the Oak Practice with Stephen Makinde, I've been feeling much calmer. My OCD tendencies have eased up since I stopped taking pertedine. Stephen has been guiding me through a holistic approach, considering my neurological conditions like verbal dyspraxia and central integration disorder. Before, we looked into different options such as cranial osteopathy and chiropractic adjustments. But now, our focus is on addressing retained reflexes and dural tension. I've also been experimenting with supplements to make sure I have the right nutrients. Stephen's been monitoring my progress closely, adjusting treatments accordingly. Recently, we've addressed hemispheric dysfunction and body synchronisation issues, which seem to be improving. Despite the challenges, I've found solace in neurofeedback therapy and private speech sessions. My goal is to better manage my sensory symptoms and OCD tendencies. Stephen's comprehensive approach gives me hope for a brighter future, where I can navigate daily life with more ease and confidence.

Every day, I grapple with the persistent discomfort in my mid-back, especially along the left side. It's not just a simple ache; it feels like the pain radiates outwards, even creeping down into my forearm. Nights are the toughest. Being a light sleeper, I find myself tossing and turning, unable to find a comfortable position due to this nagging sensation. I turned to Stephen at The Oak Practice, hoping for some insight into what's been plaguing me. Through careful examination and discussion, we unravelled the complexity of my condition. It turns out, my mid-back issues stem from a combination of factors: mid-back torsion, a past neck fracture, and lingering scar tissue around my left shoulder. Stephen laid out a treatment plan designed to target these specific issues. With his help, we're working on fixing the alignment of my pelvis, adjusting the imbalances in my spine, and easing the cranial torsion that's causing my discomfort. Even though the journey to feeling better might take a while, I'm hopeful. Every time I go to The Oak Practice, I feel like I'm getting closer to living a life without constant pain and nights spent awake.

My journey to find relief from the pain that's been bothering me has been quite a ride. It started with a strange feeling in my back last November, and then it spread to my shoulder and neck. Despite trying various treatments, from physio to injections, the pain persisted, even worsening at times. Then I found Stephen at The Oak Practice, and finally, someone listened. He carefully examined my case, pulling apart the threads of my past osteopathic treatments and medical history. Together, we uncovered the root of my pain: primary sacral torsion, occipital torsion, and issues with my hyoid bone. Each session brought some relief, though the road wasn't easy. Some days, the pain seemed unbearable, especially in my arm and shoulder. But Stephen persisted, offering acupuncture and targeted treatments to address the underlying issues. Slowly but surely, I began to feel improvements. The pain in my arm eased, and I regained strength and mobility. Though there were setbacks along the way, like reactions to medications and moments of frustration, Stephen remained steadfast in his approach. I'm not completely free from pain yet, but I've definitely gotten better. Each session brings me a step closer to overcoming chronic pain. Stephen's commitment has shown me a way to a healthier life.
