Your Questions Answered
Q: When is treatment with acupuncture appropriate?
Simon's answer: Acupuncture may be suggested when your therapist believes it may be the most effective treatment for your condition, or that it might help to improve the effectiveness of your overall treatment. Therefore, acupuncture may be used as a stand-alone treatment, or it may be offered in conjunction with other treatments to help achieve the best result for you as an individual.

Did you know that the title "Osteopath" is protected by law?
Nobody can call themselves an osteopath unless they are fully qualified, registered with GOsC and follow strict rules on insurance, their own health, conduct and staying up to date with new ideas and techniques.
So when you are looking for an osteopath, by all means check with friends and family for recommendations but check to with the General Osteopathic Council register.

Chronic back pain - Doctors couldn't help
Hello everyone. My name is Giedrius. I would like to tell you my story. About 5 years ago I came from Lithuania to United Kingdom to seek a better job. During that period I have had various jobs. Most of them were physically hard
It wasn’t long before I started getting back pain which I thought would go by itself.
... After a few months the pain persisted so I thought I would do some sports to help. Over the next 6 months the pain just got worse. There were times when getting out of bed was difficult and even breathing was painful.
It was then that I sort medical help. I was prescribed medication and arranged a blood test. After a week I returned for the results which came back negative.
I came back again to my doctor, she said that blood tests showed that I am a completely healthy person, so told me to keep taking the painkillers and said that the pain should pass. While using medications the pain was reduced, but just came back worse than before.
I was then referred for physiotherapy and they recommended a course of exercises, after two months there was no noticeable difference.
I came back to my doctors and this time she sent me to do a magnetic resonance image (MRI), which as well as the blood test did not shown anything wrong.
It has been 2 years of back pain and the medical profession are telling me there is nothing wrong with me.
When someone in authority is telling me there is nothing wrong you start to think “Am I imagining this pain”
So I did not seek any more doctors, suffered constant pain, it was very bad so I just took the strongest painkillers.
My family saw my pain but no one could help. One morning I had to ask my brother to help get me out of bed because the pain was so bad.
I continued to suffer pain for four years. One day I met an old friend who also previously had the same problems with his back but now assured me that is completely healthy and can enjoy life and just can thank one person.
It turns out, that this person is located just outside my house, which I often have seen him working with people, doing massage, so many times when I’m coming back from my work.
However, because I was disappointed with doctors, I did not believe that such pain can be cured only with help of hands. After a friends recommendation I visited this person. I understand know that he is an osteopath, physiotherapist and he uses acupuncture not a doctor. He was the first person to examine my spine with his hands gave me answer to my problems and treated me.
I have had about 6 treatments the pain has reduced about 85%. I am very happy that finally I can enjoy life again.
I am very grateful to this osteopath. Therefore, I advise everyone not to delay until the pain takes over your life, and as soon as possible to seek help. Because don’t forget, the moment you are ready to quit is usually the moment right before the miracle happens. Don’t give up!
Big Thankyou to Simon Nembhard

What can I say gone from not being able to move with excruciating lower back pain to touching my toes in 2 sessions of acupuncture and manipulation- simply fantastic - the best. Highly recommend.

Simon is absolutely brilliant. I can't recommend him highly enough.

Really pleased with the treatment!!!! Simon has been brilliant!!!! Thanks very much!! Would recommend anybody with pain to pay a visit.

Much better after a few sessions of massage and a couple of sessions of acupuncture. Couldn't hardly move my neck after whiplash and was in Alot of Pain and feeling stiff. Would highly recommend �����

Mr Simon you are a godsend. Wish you continue to help people!!! Thank you so much!!!

Limped in to see Simon this morning with an exacerbation to an old knee injury, almost skipped out ! Acupuncture has reduced pain by 50% so far! As a nurse I've always had an open mind about alternatives to conventional medicine and I have no desire to spend weeks swallowing pain killers. If you're in pain, give this a go. See you next week simon and thank you!

It's getting better. I think that's good! Thanks Simon! Excellent osteopath and acupuncturist. Highly recommended.

If your in the most excruitiating pain ever then simons your man. He can fix it. Excellent manner, excellent appointment times, gentle approach to treat pain and just a nice guy that will do his best to treat you and your pain.

I was a total sceptic when it came to massages and acupuncture but i had a problem with my ankle and my wife convinced me to go see simon. When i arrived at castle osteopaths for my first treatment i was unable to put any weight on my left foot. 1 hour later after acupuncture i was able to do away with my crutches and walk out the building. Simon is fantastic at what he does and anyone (male or female) not sure about any of this put your trust in simon. Brilliant job mate keep it up

I have had chronic pain in my back and left left for 18 months. Nothing has helped.



I had no power in my left left and severe pain down my leg and in to my knee.

Most days have been unbearable and have not had many good nights sleep.



I have seen Stacy three times now and after each appointment have noticed an incredible improvement.



Had my third appointment today and almost danced in to the room.



I feel like a new Women, I am sleeping really well and have minimal pain.



Today I finally had power in my leg!



It’s amazing and all thanks to Stacy- a huge thank you.

I have had back problems for the last 7 years id visited the pain clinic in bury st.edmunds and was given steriod injections numerous times and was told my back would never heal and i would just have to learn to manage the pain ,last month i was sent by my work to see simon to be looked over and treated and after having 6 sessions i can honestly say i now have no pain and can move freely again after 7 years of being told this was impossible so please dont trust your doctor when it comes to backs issues because they arent expects but simon most certainly those his stuff

Have just been to see simon with lower back problems and ankle ligament damage. Ive walked out pain free yet again. Thanks again.

Great treatment for my leg muscle from Simon better after three treatments recommended !

First visit here today, been suffering back pain and problems off and on for years and at present i am in a period of severe pain and muscle spasm. Simon and Castle osteopaths came recommended by a neighbour, so i thought i would book an appointment and see how things go as i am getting fed up of just masking the pain with trammadol and diazapam.

I was made to feel very welcome and at ease and Simon spent time listening to my history of issues before doing an assessment. It turns out i have multiple issues with my spine from top to bottom!

After a series of manipulation movements on my neck and spine (resulting in some popping and cracking) i was then offered to try some acupuncture, The difference in mobility from arrival to leaving was impressive for just one session and i will be back again next week for a follow up session and hopefully a beginning to an end of my persistent back problems. well worth a visit

Excellent treatment - Thanks Simon, See you next week. Still in pain, but I know things are going in the right direction.

Best osteopath ever �� I definitely recommend!! �� He always make me feel back normal again ��Thank you very much �

Being an athlete, and performing at a pretty decent standard, I got injured in early february. It was really important to get it sorted quickly. Since having the bad hip, I've seen 3 different physios, and 9 treatments with them. I was sceptical at first, but after 3 sessions with simon using acupuncture, I haven't had any pain whatso ever since! Highly recommend him, and returning back to fitness, peace!

After pregnancy i have a back pain, but after 3 visits to castle osteopath i dont have problems with my back already for 6 month. Thank you for your help!

After four sessions with simon i can say i safely say that there is a huge difference in my back. I was in agony and just walking made me wince



Ive had acupuncture, massage, ultrasound and manipulation and wow !!!



Simon is extremely good at what he does and makes you feel at ease whilst in his care.



My husband is due for his second appointment which i will book asap



Highly recommended !! Much better to see a osteopath than take pills from the gp ! You just buy a new body - Our bodies have got to last us . So look after it
