Chiswick Chiropractic Clinic

The first thing I was told when going to my appointment with Jason Sykes was that there was a big chance that I was going to require an operation due to my sciatica unless I was going to his clinic everyday for a month or so «I am not sure what I can do for you», he said. He played with fear, not very professional approach I believe. He did not ask basic questions such as if I have trouble going to the toilet. He made ridiculous and unprofessional statements such as that my treatment was a mental one and I was supposed to do nothing else apart for lying down, when I have been advised by my GP and my current chiropractor not to sit but to have some activity. I felt under pressure and I was pushed to book appointments for around four weeks. When I came back home I was called by his secretary and she requested me my card details because they «forgot» to charge me for the «treatment» so, after paying £48 for the assessment I was charged £50 when he did not touch me for more than 2 minutes. Next day when I came back in order to cancel all my appointments they wanted me to pay a £25 charge for cancelling with less than 24 hours notice, I refused to do so due to the fact that the appointments were taken the previous evening feeling under pressure, I also expressed my unhappiness being requested confidential information as they took the numbers at the back of my bank card.

Normally my reviews aren’t this long, but the excessively painful experience warrants a lengthy retelling.
Much worse off after my visit. I had 2 sucsessful visits to a chiropractor in California, lessening the pain in my lower back, before I went to see Jason Sykes. My visit started with a bit of a struggle to get my socks off (It hurts to bend down!) and Jason saying sarcastically «How many pairs do you have on?»
We spoke about the pain, when it began and what might be the cause before he «treated» me. He did a few adjustments, then applied pressure to a few places, shoulders spine and neck. WOW! Despite saying how much it hurt and telling him on a scale of 1 to 10 he was pushing 10 he continued pressing. I went home feeling worse than when I arrived.
As the day went on the pain worsened and I had to cancel dinner plans as I couldn’t get out of bed. I’m a baker and lost an entire weekend of work due to the pain Jason Sykes caused. When I spoke with Jason to cancel my next appointment I told him I was in a lot more pain in places I wasn’t before I saw him and would be seeing a physio he said Sorry about that, I guess it was a lot for your first time.
He has even refused to release the xrays I paid for to my physio so she can assist me without sending me for more expensive xrays. My Husband called to request that he release my xrays as well and he rudely refused and said we could pay £30 for copies.
Jason responding «discomfort can make people feel upset, angry and say things they would not otherwise say» was insulting, but seems true to his character.
