I have always enjoyed hiking and surfing, and I had a bad fall on a trail a few months ago. My back was hurting, and one of my legs felt like it had lost some strength. My regular doctor told me that I might need surgery, and I was very worried about what that might entail. I wanted a second opinion, so I called a seaforth osteopathy clinic for an appointment.  In the end, I couldn’t make it to my appointment and so I went back to my doctor - except I saw a different GP. This time the diagnosis that I got from them was much more definitive, and they were able to treat me successfully without any surgery. I am so glad that I decided to get that second opinion!
