Greatly appreciated Mr Al Ani's positive and professional manner , as well as his holistic approach to pain reduction, identifying and targeting the cause, rather than masking the symptoms. He provided practical advice to help reduce inflammation and pain and referred me for additional acupuncture.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Mr Al-Ani. I had steroid injections to relieve excruciating pain caused by prolapsed disc pressing on the sciatic nerve. I am now six weeks after the procedure and I am so pleased it worked. The pain went almost immediately and with patience, physio and being sensible I am pretty much back to normal. Mr Al-Ani knows his stuff and you are in safe hands.
