Case Study 6: Trapped Nerve in Neck Condition
I came to Surrey Physio with a trapped nerve in my neck, which caused constant pins and needles down my left arm. The pain was severe - about 8 out of 10 when I moved - and it had a big impact on my daily life. I struggled to sleep, couldn’t play sports, and even found driving difficult.
Treatment: Through Bupa, I was referred to Surrey Physio, where I was seen by Anthony. From the start, he explained clearly what was happening, how long recovery might take, and reassured me that improvement was possible. I began a programme of physiotherapy that included guided neck stretches and exercises to relieve pressure on the nerve.
I started with five sessions, and because I was improving, Bupa approved another five. Anthony monitored my progress closely, adjusting the treatment as needed and making sure I had exercises I could continue at home.
Outcome: By the end of ten sessions, I was about 95% recovered and able to return to all my normal activities, including sport, driving, and sleeping properly. The remaining symptoms faded gradually over time until I was fully recovered.
I was completely happy with the service — professional, supportive, and effective. I left a five-star review because I genuinely felt Surrey Physio gave me excellent care, and I would happily recommend them to anyone with a similar problem.
Kind Regards
