Fantastic experience: The team at Health for Life helped me regain range of motion and return to a pain-free state by treating my issue with a targeted and holistic approach. It was an excellent experience. Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend booking in at Health for Life if you're looking for help with your back, whether you're new to chiropractors or not. Paul is an incredibly experienced, approachable & professional chiropractor and you won't regret your decision to book in an appointment with him or the team. After seeing Paul for a long term back and shoulder issue, he has both resolved my problems but also helped my overall wellbeing and daily habits. I'm no longer in pain and discomfort, I breathe better and sleep better. I go back to Paul for regular check-ups which is a real boost to my overall health each month. Why go anywhere else?!
Fantastic experience: I have been attending this clinic for over a year because I had had a very sore back and fell often and couldn't get up. I am much stronger and more confident. I can thoroughly recommend this clinic as I am so much better.
Fantastic experience: Has provided excellent care and health advice over many years. I can highly recommend this practice.
Fantastic experience: I would recommend Paul 100% to anyone who is suffering from neck & back pain. I went to Health for life with severe neck pain. I couldn’t even have a nights sleep. From the moment I met Paul at my first consultation I had faith in him. Paul’s genuine caring & professional knowledge both physically & mentally has been amazing. I have been attending health for life regularly now for two months. The treatment & advice I receive helps tremendously.
Fantastic experience: Great, experienced service
Fantastic experience: Fantastic chiropractor! Well worth a visit.
Fantastic experience: What 'Health for Life' and Dr. Paul have to offer is more than spinal health.To me, Dr. Paul's wealth of knowledge, richness of experience, and holistic approach to health also empowered me to make health choices and live with more clarity and authenticity. Once I entered the wellness centre and went through the first session, I knew I was in good hands. And after every chiropractic session, I feel like I am reborn, gaining relief and comfort both physically and mentally.
Fantastic experience: Would highly recommend. Was recommended to Paul because i was starting to get more and more backpain and the pain even started to go to my legs also. I was then sent for an X-Ray which showed that my spine wasn't aligned properly. I had 2 options which was either surgery or treatment. I chose the treatment since its less invasive. I can say now that after couple months of treatment the pain from my legs has completely gone and i can continue my day without pain. Thank you for your help Paul.
Fantastic experience: Highly recommended. Very friendly atmosphere. During each of my adjustment sessions, I am taught stretches/exercises that I can do at home, as well as ergonomic and lifestyle changes that I can make. This has given me confidence that I can adjust my lifestyle to achieve long term relief from my neck and back pain.
Fantastic experience: About a year ago my back started to hurt due to my work and also daily life. I went to a chiropractor who initially sorted out the pain but not completely and I felt that the subsequent visits were pretty useless. I then tried a Physio and also a sports massage. The sports massage was a great relief but didn't really sort out the pain. I then decided that I had to really sort it all out and find out what was happening. I went to see Dr Honoky but was slightly wary as I was wondering whether this was another dead end for me. On my first visit I was told that to sort out the problem an X-ray of my spine was needed and then he could work out what the problem and treat it correctly from there. I have since been able to move a lot more freely, no pain at night or during the day, I don't have to think about running before I run I just do it as I am now pain free. I would highly recommend Dr Honoky for his full 16 week treatment - it will be money well spent - to live pain free is a blessing that you don't realize until you have been in pain for a long time and then are pain free
Fantastic experience: The only person I trust with my sacroiliac! For as long as I continue to break myself he ( magic hands Homoky) is able/willing to treat me he is my go to Chiro- No bells and whistles- Good old fashioned tutting and manipulation but worth every penny. Keeps me pain free and fixed! He is the man! He is still the man... fixed me again... thankyou Paul...
Fantastic experience: Really helped my chronic neck and jaw problem, would highly recommend
Fantastic experience: Well I was persuaded by my son to try Chiropractic again for my Chronic back pain, for which I have suffered for ,for almost 6/7 years. I had Chiropractic some years ago it helped but was pricey. So this time I went for the nearest to my home. I cannot praise Paul enough, he has changed my life. within weeks I began to feel better and able to cope. Helping me with my withdrawal of Opioid dependency and all the advice he has given it is unbelievable. I sit and wonder how I was a few months ago and where I am now. all thanks to Health for Life. Life Changing.
Fantastic experience: Fantastic full circle chiropractor. Along with weekly sessions, I was provided with an exercise plan that has allowed my back to heal very quickly. Would strongly recommend those who have any issue with their back to try this solution, you won't regret it.
Fantastic experience: Dr. Homoky at Health for Live Spinal Wellness Centre in my opinion is absolutely genius with chiropractic manipulation and since. He not only helped remove the pain and stiffness from my upper back and shoulder blade but also provided me with some excellent stretching techniques to allow me to manage the issue on a daily basis. Wholeheartedly recommended, highly professional and trustworthy. He saved my life.
Fantastic experience: Great service, well organised with all the equipments and very very very very friendly people. Simply the best place for spinal wellness. Thanks guys
Fantastic experience: I have been suffering for quite sometime with intense and long lasting migraine and back pain. Following a friend's recommendation, I decided to try my luck at Dr Paul clinic. Not only does it help on a short time with my current migraine, the program tailored for my needs is improving my quality of life greatly on the long term. It is not only a chiropractor practice, but also various adjustment advices and suggestions on a daily basis that are offered to help improve your health. I would highly recommend it. The clinic also provide great massage therapy which compliment well chiropractor's session. It is a nice family atmosphere, clean and great value/price which on a side note given the current Covid situation is very reassuring.
Fantastic experience: Paul changed my life. During the first visit I received instant relief from almost unbearable back pain and further gradual alleviation of symptoms during subsequent visits. His treatment plan worked, now completely pain-free! So literally, Paul changed my life. He's always a good chat during visits. Importantly, I now understand the life-long health benefits of good posture, regular exercise, stretching and healthy working habits, which he passionately discussed all throughout various visits. I received a quick diagnosis without any scans required. His treatment had an effect every single time. Massage therapists, Costin and Alice, are highly recommended. I especially like Costin who is also a remarkably competent trainer for purposes of posture correction through exercise. I will be a regular until I leave this city. Finally, Paul was there during the hardest months of the pandemic with doors always open - thank you ~
Fantastic experience: I have been a regular here for some years now. Great service. Very clean and hygienic. Great staff
Fantastic experience: I started seeing Paul earlier this year as pain levels in my neck and lower back were having an impact on my life after a colleague recommended him to me. Paul's manner is extremely professional provided and answers which I did not get through conventional health care routes. He assessed me and began treatment, not just as physical adjustments, but also in a more holistic way through discussing lifestyle changes which have a positive impact both physically and mentally. Health for Life has the added advantage of other treatments which have helped, Costin has provided excellent massage therapies which were immensely helpful. All in all a professional, caring and worthwhile journey.
Fantastic experience: Amazing chiropractic treatment and invaluable overall health advice from Dr Homocky. The improvement I am experiencing is incredible in such a short time. I am so looking forward to a complete recovery. Many thanks!!
Fantastic experience: Higly professional treatment that changed the quality of my life. Great atmosphere with good music played at the welcome desk.
Fantastic experience: The treatment made a huge difference to the quality of my life. Dr Homocky is a very skilled chiropractor and diagnostician.
Fantastic experience: I've been using Health for Life for over a year now and always get amazing service. My spine feels fantastic. Easy 5 stars!!!
Fantastic experience: Great team of professionals. I would recomend it.
Fantastic experience: Excellent care and support. My back and posture have improved beyond words. So grateful for Thomas for his holistic approach. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: I started going because of a reoccurring sore neck and back. After my first appointment, I started to feel less pain and more comfortable sleeping. Dr. Paul is very pleasant and explained well what he was doing and gave me exercises to help continue to recover. I would recommend it to others.
Fantastic experience: Paul has been looking after me for 12 years. I can certainly recommend his excellent staff and first class care.
Fantastic experience: i decided to try this place on a whim having issues with my back for a number of years they were very professional and made me feel welcome from my first session the improvement was night and day the visable hunch in my spine when i would sit is not longer there That was after just one session i have been going regular for nearly a month it was the best decision i have made i now suffer headaches much less frequently i dont feel nearly as much discomfort as i did before tommy has really helped alot and i will continue to go back but i just felt like i had to share my thoughts on this place thank you Ryan
Fantastic experience: I been to the clinic in a few occasions where I seen Dr Farrell for spine adjustments that helped me a lot. I really recommend Dr Farrell as he is very good at helping with pains and explaining. Also had sports massage with both sports massage therapist Dana and Adrian in different days and I can truly recommend them. They know exactly what they do and they know how to help. I really really recommend Health For Life clinic. Thank you everyone for your help.
Fantastic experience: Huge thanks for chiropractic treatments combined with a sport massage tailored to my needs regarding to ongoing strain of my shoulder and neck from work load. To me absolutely 10 out of 10 , also pain free mentanance ; what a fantastic bunch of people within this clinic !!!
Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Health For Life. I have used both their chiropractic and their stretch & strengthen services since moving to Edinburgh last year. Dr. Homoky and Agathe Girard (who is now practicing in Perth) have both done more to actually figure out my posture issues and exactly what was causing them, and to recommend ways for me to work on strengthening and loosening my shoulders on my own than any of my previous chiropractors. Dr. Homoky also hosts various events and talks focusing on holistic wellness and health, which are full of good advice on how to take care of your body beyond your bones. Everyone in the office is really nice and friendly, and they offer a student discount, which was a big help. Overall, my entire experience with Health For Life has been amazingly positive, and has helped me so much. I highly recommend Health For Life to anyone looking for something more proactive than just a monthly maintenance back-crack.
Fantastic experience: Doing loads of sport is very important for me to be in good health and make sure my spine is ok and on all my visits Dr Homoky and Dr Farrell have been brilliant. They explain everything so you can understand, are friendly and patient. Really recommend the place. Thank you doctors for your amazing help.
Fantastic experience: I've been coming to Health for life since October last year and my back pain is almost gone. Lovely, friendly and knowledgeable people , lots of options for you from massages and stretching classes to chiropractor and general well-being. Recommend
Fantastic experience: Since I started treatment, my life has change totally in many ways. When I first went to see Dr Homoky I was told I might need an operation on my spine. Well that never happened, I am pain free and fitter than ever. Going to run a 5 mile obstacle marathon in March!Thank you Health for Life team for helping me fulfil my potential!
Fantastic experience: First appointment here today, and it was excellent. I'd never visited a Chiropractor before, but I'd been suffering with lower back pain for 6+ weeks. The whole experience was very good from start to finish. the Dr was extremely knowledgable and following an adjustment he made to my back, I felt immediately better. I had better mobility and much less pain. I have a follow up appointment, which I'm very much looking forward to.
Fantastic experience: I had a great experience with the Health for Lufe. I had unbalanced legs and crooked hips and through a discounted course Dr. Homoky mended my bones. I feel good on my balanced body. Also Dana the sorts masseuse is brilliant. Recommend all their services.
Fantastic experience: I went to the Health for Life centre a few months ago after suffering an injury while training which caused a persistent and incapacitating pain in my lower back. Paul assessed me, made my back and neck "crack" and "pop" during a series of sessions and I am pleased to say that the pain disappeared after a couple of months. More importantly, Paul and Agathe (who does the stretching classes) gave me tons of advice in terms of posture, in particular at work when sitting in front of a computer, and helped me developing a stretching routine that fits my lifestyle (I do a lot of cycling and hillwalking, play football and practice Muay Thai, amongst other things). I now do the stretching exercises on a daily basis and I must say that I've never had back pain since then and am also feeling stronger and MUCH more flexible! It did cost some money and I could have spent more on many of the items on sale at the centre (I decided not too essentially for financial reasons) but it was certainly worth it and I would do it again if needed. All staff are very professional and friendly and I now enjoy going to the centre every one or two months for a check (as one would regularly go to the dentist).
Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Health for Life, I have had back pain for years and the first treatment from Dr Paul Homoky, the constant pain I had in my back was relieved instantly, and the care afterwards to strengthen my muscles has also helped in my sports.
Fantastic experience: After another debilitating weekend with migraine I found this place through Google. I phoned the Monday morning & was relieved that Dr Paul could fit me in that day. I am so pleased I found 'health for life' as the team has improved my health drematically. I have seen the nutritionalist & had 121 stretch classes. All the team compliment each other very well. Of course this is a 2 way thing & I have had to change adapt my lifestyle, but with the support & assistance from the team I have found this easy. I also value Dr Paul's words of wisdom.
Negative experience: I found Dr Homoky to be a good and thorough chiropractor and he really listened when I was explaining my back problem and concerns. However he works between 2 patients at once meaning his time is split between yourself and another patient. One day I was in he was trying to sell me a back stretcher which cost nearly £40! I had already heard him trying to sell it to the patient before me which I thought was rather cheeky and then he was going on about 'let's get you booked in for our stretch classes'. I personally found it all a bit overwhelming and a hard sell when you already pay £30 or more per visit for 10-15 minutes of someone's time. Overall not great.
Fantastic experience: Paul and the team were all superb. I can't recommend them enough. They offer a fantastically complete service that you're unlikely to get elsewhere. The chiropractor work is complimented well with massage and exercise classes when you need it. Other nutritional and lifestyle support is also provided. Unfortunately I moved away from Edinburgh otherwise I would be continuing my care with them, however they were also supportive in passing on the records of my treatment so I can find someone new nearby.
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience of brilliant service, expertise, knowledge and overall approach! I visited Health for Life walking broken with enormous amount of pain in my neck and back. At hospital the sent me to surgery but I refused and was looking for an alternative and chiropractic. After couple of weeks of intensive treatments, those 'clicks' as well, I was getting back to my age of younger person, felt like a new person. I am very delighted with all the care I'm getting. Very 'human' approach and lovely staff. Actually you don't feel like at doctor's. I'm only on regular check-ups now. Highly recommended!
Fantastic experience: From my first contact the reception at this Centre has been welcoming, and the treatment well-explained and caring. It has also 'done the trick' in that it has alleviated the lower back pain I had been experiencing increasingly. When I first attended I was 'hopeful' that I would be helped. My experience has been- and continues to be- that I am being helped. I heartily recommend this Chiropractor to anyone who is experiencing such physical difficulties. You will receive clear, understandable diagnosis and help tailored to you particular needs.
Fantastic experience: I've had long term spinal health problems and been to quite a few other places for treatment with limited success. My health was transformed by Paul and I would only recommend his team to anyone else. Many thanks.
Positive experience: Could hardly walk when I first went to Dr Paul. After years of thinking it was a back spasm turns out my spine is the problem and the way I sit. Thanks for helping me get back to normal.
Positive experience: After visiting the clinic with what seemed to be a frozen shoulder it was assessed that I had two slipped discs in my kneck along with other concerns regarding my posture. After approximately 5 appointments my kneck pain had completely disappeared - im now on my 14th appointment & I am feeling 100% better. I will continue seeing doctor homoky for maintenance concerning my posture. Whilst the manipulations & other techniques used delivered instant relief from the pain it has to be acknowledged that doing your prescribed exercises is a must if you want a complete recovery & continued well being. Overall I would say that I received an excellent service that not only fixed my specific neck problem but also made me aware of improvements I can make to my skeletal health on a daily basis.
Fantastic experience: Health for Life Spinal Wellness Centre has been a great help to me after years of going to my GP with little or no help other than prescribing pain medication, Dr. Paul Homoky at Health for Life has took time to help my back problem and give the care and attention that has help my back pain and posture, if you suffer from back pain then I would highly recommend Health for Life Spinal Wellness Centre as it has helped me out.
Fantastic experience: Nice, busy centre with good range of treatments and therpies. There is always something going on here too, they do a lot for charity and the community and get people involved in getting themselves healthy proactively. They also play good music at reception.
