Rated 5 out of 5

I have been to various different chiropractors over the last 6/7 years, some good some bad, but no one has been as thorough and helpful as Claudio. He has given me advice on maintaining my new found good health and has worked with me to change my working environment to ensure I remain stable. I would seriously recommend Claudio to anyone who has suffered with back and shoulder problems without hesitation.

As a management consultant I spend too many hours at the computer and on my phone, especially both together which means I hold my phone with my shoulder!! I developed an acute shoulder/neck and upper back pain. I contacted Claudio further to a friend recommendation and visit his clinic in the city of London. His treatments and advice helped me to understand how to manage the problem and eventually he helped me to get rid of the pain and discomfort which I had for several years. I would highly recommend Claudio for any shoulder/neck and upper back pain

I went to Claudio with calf and ankle injuries and especially needed to be strong for a 100km walk. Thanks to Claudio’s help, I managed the walk and all of my calf pain soon went. I now have a substantial set of stretches and management techniques to help me maintain my fitness. Claudio is very professional.
