After electing to have a MRI on my lumbar discs and SI joints, I was recommended to see Mr Gnanalingham at The Alexandra Hospital, Cheadle by my chiropractor with a view to undergoing a procedure of steroid injections to relieve chronic back pain. From the outset, communication through Mrs Vaani Navaratnam (PA to Mr Kanna Gnanalingham) was both friendly and efficient in organising the initial consultation, procedure, and outpatient appointments. After my initial consultation with Mr Gnanalingham, during which we reviewed my history of chronic back pain alongside the MRI results, the initial recommendation was to make a drastic lifestyle change to lose weight to bring my BMI into the healthy range and reduce the burden of carrying the extra weight on my problematic discs. After 12 weeks using a commercial personal training company, I accomplished a 3.5 stone weight loss. Whilst the pain had improved significantly, I contacted Vaani to arrange a consultation with a view to going ahead with the treatment. My procedure was organised faultlessly and the care I received from the nurses and team at the Alexandra Hospital, as well as from Mr Gnanalingham himself, was exemplary; this was my first ever time in hospital and I was made to feel comfortable and confident in their abilities throughout. Post procedure, my pain has now subsided significantly, and I am able to do things that I haven’t done in over 20 years. I highly recommend Mr Gnanalingham and his team. Special thanks to Vaani for adding that special extra layer of care, and to Mr Gnanalingham both for his exemplary skill and for being and absolute gentleman whilst executing his craft.
