I was in a car accident in 1993, I suffered whiplash for about a year. Between 1995-1996 it came back. I had severe pain on the right hand side of my neck and suffered from pins and needles in my right arm. These pins and needles where so severe that i couldn't lift my arm and i didn't have any feeling in my thumb or little finger. I went to a doctor for treatment and the doctor sent me to a physio which didnt help at all. After about 18 months it went.
In 2002 i was at a Funfair and i got a jolt and it brought it all back. Again i went to the doctors and physio and it didn't help nor did taking any pain killers.

I tried heat packs and ice packs but they didnt relieve any pain. It lasted for a year and a half. The pain went but i couldn't move my neck. My thumb and little finger stayed the same through out all of this.
It eased for the next 5 years but never completely went. It came back sverely i 2008. I couldn't move my neck at all. I went to my doctor and she recommended a sports therapist, I attended one for 6 sessions and he massaged my neck and back. The therapist said it was down to stress and i was full of knots. The physio or massaging didnt help at all.
My daughter recommended that i should try a Chiropractor and we found Dr Niall Tilly. I made an appointment in August 2009. I told him what had happened to me.He sent me for x-rays. The x-rays showed severe damage to my neck and to the back of my throat. I attended Dr Niall 3 times a week in the beginning. After a few sessions i noticed an improvement in my neck and with the pins and needles. After a while he changed my appointments to 2 times a week. I am improving with each visit so much that i have started to get a lot more flexibility in my neck and i also have full feeling in my thumb and little finger. I have noticed a big improvement in my back and left leg which i didnt realise was put of line until i went to Dr Niall. I am now going to see him once every 2 weeks and feel great. It is 17 years since i have felt this good. If i would have known about Dr Niall Tilley a few years ago it would have speared me a lot of pain and a lot of money.
I would recommend anybody with my injuries to go and see a chiropractor.
I can't thank Dr Niall Tilley enough for all the help and care he has given me.
A big thank you.
