I've been seeing Dr Col for many years, first at his Carlton surgery in Lygon St and now here at the Melbourne Rd Clinic. I suffer from lower back pain ( The L5 to be precise). The problem recurs because I either lift something too heavy or my body is just getting a year older or both. Dr Col has taken me, in severe cases, from a limping old guy in immense pain, to a mobile old guy with back soreness in one visit. When severe I go back twice, sometimes 3 times to be back (no pun intended) to my usual self. He gives out ways to not return as well - no drugs, just simple exercises to build up strength and my "inner core". Other than these times I would see Dr Col, once every 3 months or so, just to keep things in order. I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you Col for your help and professional expertise over the years. You are a great chiro and a terrific person.
