Patient Feedback

I cant speak too highly of Samys care and attention. He saw me at very short notice and even came in specially to see me again on the very day he was going on holiday! His manipulation greatly improved my vertigo and I can thoroughly recommend him to anyone unfortunate enough to suffer from this.

Thank you Sammy. I am very grateful for the help you have given to me, and am feeling very much better and more positive about the condition. The treatment and exercises have certainly helped to improve my symptoms enormously, and although I realise this may be an ongoing problem I at least now know where I can go to for help should I have a repeat episode. You have helped me to help myself too, and there is great value in that. Kind regards

Hi Samy I thought the treatment you gave me was very professional and was evidence-based. At first I was skeptical about whether it would work but it has and now feel a lot better. Thank you Samy

Re-Dizziness Over the past few years, I have had dizziness with several episodes of vertigo. I visited my GP a number of times about the dizziness and they said it was labyrinthitis and it would go in a few weeks. Two years ago I had another episode and my GP referred me to an ENT consultant who sent me for an MRI scan and hearing tests. The scan and tests came back clear and they said it was nothing serious. This was good news but I still felt dizzy at times and tried to carry on as usual.
Earlier this year there was a stressful event within the family and that seemed to make the dizziness worse and I felt as if I was veering to one side when walking, but again I tried to just carry on as usual until June, when I had an ear infection in both ears which set off the dizziness quite badly again. During the year I also began to feel very anxious about feeling dizzy and started to avoid socializing and had time off work. I was feeling dizzy whenever I went out to the shops or out for a coffee with a friend and only felt I could go out if my husband was with me. Even at home I felt dizzy when cooking in the kitchen or doing household chores. I stopped doing Pilates which I enjoyed because I felt dizzy. I saw my GP during this time and they offered anti-depressants to help with anxiety which I didn’t really want to start as I didn’t feel that I was depressed although I was very anxious about the dizziness. I did take up mindfulness which helped a little. The GP referred me back to the ENT consultant again.
I had been looking online to try and find some answers to what I was feeling and I came across the Dizzycare Clinic in Codsall and I booked to see Samy. Straight away I felt that he knew what I was talking about and he gave me a list of foods to avoid and strategies to try along with exercises to build up. He gave my some clear ideas of what I had been going through in terms of vestibular migraines and PPPD which I had never heard of before. I felt that I had something I could work on to help myself and that I could take more control of how I was feeling.
At first I was still very anxious about feeling dizzy doing the exercises but gradually I felt I could do more without feeling so anxious all the time. Although I still felt dizzy at times I was feeling more relaxed and that I could manage things. Samy also said I should tell friends and family more about how I felt and doing that also helped in making me feel more relaxed about whether I wanted to socialize or do activities. They were all more understanding than I thought which made me feel better. Gradually over the weeks I built up the exercises and was able to go out and do things without feeling so anxious and dizzy all the time. I feel much more confident and although the dizziness is still there at times it is not dominating what I think about and the anxiety I feel is much less, although I know there are some triggers including tiredness, stress and certain foods which I now try and manage more carefully. I have started Pilates again which I am enjoying and I also feel more confident about going out and taking part in social activities.
I am very grateful to Samy for listening and being patient with me when I was feeling anxious about trying new exercises. He gave me the confidence to help myself through the strategies and exercises he taught me.

To Samy, First of all, I would like to thank you for improving my quality of life and would certainly recommend your services to other people. All of my friends are amazed at how I have improved since attending your clinic. I am now dizzy free and not using a walking stick to help my balance Each day I am continuing my exercises and getting stronger daily. At last, I am now driving and tending my garden. (Yes I am being sensible) Once again I cant thank you enough and let you know how happy I am.
