Testimonials

Following are excerpts from various testimonials we have collected.

Melanie Tarr (B.Sci.)
Lily’s Eye Squint
Lily had an eye squint (lazy eye) since birth. We have despaired and watched it get worse each year and wondered what to do. A leading children’s eye specialist told us she would need to be operated on or eventually become blind in that eye. Alternatively, the surgeon’s advice was to keep an eye patch on her for 3hrs a day. Have you tried to keep an eye patch on a two year old child? My husband took her to see chiropractor Dr Simon Carlin, when she came home the squint was gone along with her allergies. The eye gradually fixed itself over the next few months. Dr Carlin told us the problem would take about 8 appointments to fix but the improvement was dramatic after the first visit. He said her neck was out to the side and forward and it was pulling on her eye muscle. Her hips were also out. Lily loves going to see Simon twice a week and her eye problem is 98% fixed. As an added bonus her intellect has taken a huge jump while she has been treated. This was recently confirmed by a pediatric occupational therapist who has known her since birth. Financially we are also better off (not that money is important when your child’s health is at stake). An eye operation would have cost us thousands and Lily’s eye was fixed after $320 worth of appointments and we have the added bonus of an intellectually superior and much more contented child.

Pam Benness
General wellbeing & shoulder injury
Pam has been attending this practice since 1987!! “I started chiropractic care because all conventional medicine could offer for my shoulder injury was drugs and surgery.” Thanks to chiropractic I have not needed either.” Pam attends for regular appointments every 4-6 weeks even if she has no symptoms and is always punctual. “If I get symptoms I come more often,” she said. Pam decided to consult one of our naturopaths about a year ago. She has noticed a significant improvement in her general wellbeing since making the changes to her lifestyle and diet that the naturopath has recommended. She also decided to start regular massage as her job involves a lot of sitting and lifting. “Massage has relieved the tension I was feeling in my neck and shoulders and I feel free of stress to enjoy life more,” says Pam. As a consequence of the excellent results Pam has experienced at our centre the extended Benness family are regular clients.

Michael Kelly
Snoring Programme
"I did not realize how sick and out of condition my body was until I did the Snoring Programme. The result has been fantastic - my whole wellbeing is back to where I never thought it could be - like taking twenty years off my life. I have increased energy, can think and remember better and have stopped snoring. I feel great!"

Rory O’Rourke
Snoring & Asthma
“I had asthma since the age of four. I had every known test and tried every cure. I had been on medication three times a day for over 40 years. I first went to Karrinyup Wellness Centre in 1991 and within a year I noticed a difference. I gradually pulled back on the medication and have not used medication for the past 9 years. My snoring has also been cured through your adjustments. I cannot speak highly enough of you and your staff.”

Learning Difficulties
Ben, aged 8, was causing concern for his parents. Ben was a bright boy but had a severe coordination problem and lacked concentration. Due to this his grades were being affected dramatically, so much so that if there were no signs of improvement he would have to repeat Grade 3. The school suggested that he visit the Education Occupational Therapist who after assessment would incorporate a series of Physiotherapy sessions. Instead of physiotherapy his family chose chiropractic care at Karrinyup Wellness Centre. Within 2-3 months there was a remarkable improvement and his grades improved considerably. During that period of time all W.A. students had an assessment by the WA Literacy and Numeracy Association and he was rated in the top 10% for his grade. Ben’s next report showed a vast improvement and his teachers were amazed. It was a complete turn around. Later in the same year Ben was awarded a merit certificate for the most improved student. Ben continues to improve and has his chiropractic care on a regular basis.

Snoring – Back and neck pain – Richard Holt – September 2003
I first attended the Karrinyup Wellness Centre in June 2003 to address ongoing back and neck pain I had experienced since a motor vehicle accident in 1979 and my noisy, consistent snoring which was upsetting my wife. After three months I have made dramatic improvements in snoring. Instead of snoring loudly every night I now only snore quietly once or twice a week. The dietary changes have been very useful and I have found the combination of the specialized chiropractic care and naturopathy have worked well for me. My energy levels have increased and my back and neck pain has reduced significantly.
I have no hesitation in recommending these services to anyone.
