Dr. Anthony treats me for neck, shoulder and lower back pain. He always asks me about my upcoming activities and tailors my treatments accordingly. This customized approach works very well for me as I lead a rather extreme lifestyle consisting either prolonged periods of studying, gaming or intensive sporting activities. As a former athlete, Dr. Anthony understands my predicaments and kindly shares what I should avoid and how I should take care of my back for each type of activity.
I chanced upon one spine through a close friend of mine. He recommended that I visit one spine after finding out that I visit a chiropractor once a week to keep my spine set in the right place and to maintain my spine after numerous sports injuries.
Dr Melanie has been a great help towards that cause. She takes care of my back very well and always ensures to remind me to maintain good posture!
A doctor who cares for her patient wholeheartedly and thus I can recommend her services so that you may be under her care too!
Dr Anthony has been treating me since last year and he has definitely helped me a lot with the pain I constantly feel on my left shoulder.
He’s really caring and friendly as well, always making sure that I’m comfortable while receiving my treatments.
I really enjoy doing my treatments at One Spine and look forward to every visit.
Thank you Dr Anthony and team!
Throughout my two pregnancies, I have been seeking chiropractic care with Dr Melanie.
People have always said that the second pregnancy would be easier.
However due to the extra weight gained the second time round, I was experiencing greater lower back pain and also sciatica. This sharp shooting pain made it difficult for me to walk or sit.
In addition to the regular treatments, Dr Melanie showed me simple home stretches and exercises.
I believe that the regular treatments and exercises contributed to better spine alignment which led to less pain, shorter labours and easier deliveries of my two children.
Dr Melanie 超棒的 ！
我起初有很糟的背痛，不过看了 Dr Melanie 几次后，症状就改善了！！
Highly recommend Dr Melanie! She is friendly, humorous and pays attention to tiny details.
Her clinic is cosy and make you feel at home.
Woohoo!!
谢谢 Dr Melanie!
I went to visit Dr Melanie by referral from my cousin, who is also one of her clients. I have been depending on massages, painkillers and muscle relaxants for pain in my lower back and shoulders, tingling sensations in legs and headaches or migraines.
Dr Melanie explained clearly the causes and options. I was surprised that my treatment started at the very first session and that Dr Melanie also took care of muscle treatment. She is most patient with my queries and taught exercises to do at home to ease aches and tension.
Happy to say that I am totally off medication now.
I have been diagnosed with scoliosis at the age of 12 and the curvature of my spine improved over the span of 3 years with the help of a brace. As such, I was discharged from the specialist clinic at the age of 15. I was under the impression that the curvature of my spine was stabilised and would not deteriorate after the puberty period. Little did I know that this was not the case. After the birth of my first child in 2012, I started experiencing a nagging dull pain at my back. It was my good fortune to have come across a free spine scan that led me to meet Dr Anthony. Through a deeper analysis with the help of the x-ray, I found out that the curvature of my spine had worsened significantly. It was severe enough to cause discomfort on a weekly basis. Dr Anthony shed light that life events and processes such as pregnancy, childbirth and breastfeeding could have contributed to the additional stress on my spine which could have resulted in the curvature of my spine.
Under Dr Anthony's professional care and advice, I was given a customised programme that almost a year. At the end of the year, the condition of my spine improved drastically and I was cured of the nagging pain at my back. That gave me confidence to try for another child after the effective treatment.
Prior to my second pregnancy, Dr Anthony assured me that I would be put through a customised maintenance programme to ensure that the curvature of my spine would not deteriorate should I be pregnant. Throughout my second pregnancy, I was carefully cared for by Dr Anthony to ensure that the treatment would be painless and safe for both mommy and baby. I was able to avoid unnecessary back pain during my second pregnancy and was able to deliver a healthy baby girl in 2017.
Moving forward, I am now into my last trimester of my third pregnancy. Lying face down for a pregnant lady would be unthinkable for many but I would attest that the experience I have had with an experienced chiropractor like Dr Anthony help alleviate the additional stress and acute muscle strains was extremely comfortable and helpful.
I am glad to have trusted Dr Anthony in caring for my overall well-being in terms of maintaining my physique to carry both my babies to full term and hope other pregnant mommies who have been suffering in silence would explore having this treatment to help them cope with the muscle aches and stress at their backs.
