Having had acute back pain I visited my local GP's and was referred to Exeter RDE, I had 2 scans and saw a further 3 doctors; none of the total of 5 doctors that examined me could give me a positive diagnosis other than 'you have a back problem' - which was correct! I then visited Heather Foster of East Devon Chiropractic, Heather gave me by far the most thorough and in depth questioning and examination and concluded with 75% certainty that I had damaged my QL muscle (Quadratus Lumborum) which I think runs from the lower rib cage to the top of the pelvis. I asked Heather could she cure the problem - her reply was 'that if I can't in 4-5 treatment sessions then no I can't'. I appreciated this honest opinion and finite time scale; treatment comprising acupuncture, massage and exercises for me to do ensued. After 4 sessions over 4 weeks the problem was nearly 100% resolved, and after the 5th session everything was 100%. I have since recommended Heather to a neighbour who suffers with a severe back problem; after a full assessment - but no treatment, Heather advised my neighbour that she thought that she could not fully resolve the problem. My neighbour was hugely impressed by this very honest opinion which saved both time and money.

Absolutely brilliant, sorted my back out completely can’t recommend enough!

Heather has changed my life. Not only has she made me feel like I can walk again without pain, she has also encouraged me to eat & move my body (swimming). Heather has educated me so much on the connection between my body & my mind & how much stress can affect my physical being. I have learnt so much about being a human & I will always be grateful to her for that. The staff are always friendly & greet you with warmth, kindness & patience. Where I used to be anxious about my pain and my body, I am now excited for my appointments and love my chats with Heather. I was really anxious about finding someone to help me with my pain who would have to touch my body, but Heather’s patience & professionalism has made me feel so safe & secure, she really is a wonderful healer.

I can highly recommend East Devon Chiropractic. Heather is very thorough in her assessment and listens well to the problem presented. Her way of treatment always helped me. She also taught me a series of exercises that I could do between the sessions. The exercises she chose greatly assisted with my recovery. Something I much appreciated as it meant I could be actively involved in getting better and lessen the pain faster.

Going straight to the point. This practice is very efficient, and wonderfully friendly in a very warm yet professional way. You can tell the team really cares. Without a doubt they helped me. I’m totally impressed by the help Heather has given me over the past weeks. I went from pain, to pain free very quickly under her care. She really listens and obviously knows what she’s doing so well that she literally put her fingers on my issue. If I’m ever struggling again this will be the first place I go.

Heather is amazing! I had been in pain with my back for the past 4 years and Heather has really worked her magic on me, meaning I can now do things I had been struggling to do and am in very little pain now! The receptionists are also very welcoming and friendly. Would highly recommend x

First Class Care and Understanding Thank you Nick C

Brilliant results with Heather! I didn't realise how much was wrong that I was putting up with - I went for what I thought would be a couple of adjustments and quickly realised how much of a knock-on effect my issue was having with the rest of my spine - Heather is skilled in getting to the root of the problem and has totally sorted me out - I feel the best I have felt in years - like a new person with a really solid, steady feeling frame now - I'd forgotten what it was like! Such a lovely lady too. I thoroughly recommend.

Heather really helped with my sciatica pain. She is very friendly and easy to talk to which helps mentally also

Excellent, friendly service. Got an appointment quickly when I really needed one and has made a world of difference to my recovery. Heather takes time to understand the issue, and what you as a patient want to get out of the treatment. In my case, developing exercises and a strategy for preventing the issues from reoccurring. Brilliant all round
