Andrew Green, Chiropractor
Back Pain:
I cannot recommend Andy Green & his clinic enough. I'm a typical, sedentary office worker, bound to a desk by day who tries to balance this with being fit and active out of work. I have been going to Andy on & off for a number of years - I'm sure these visits have made a significant difference in my health, fitness & general wellbeing.
Andy has helped me with treatment & advice on everything from my posture at work to helping me build up my running & fitness training. He has provided gait analysis & running orthotics. He did not push these on me - merely explained the science, showed me the pictures & I eventually came back to him & decided to give them a try. They've been a sound investment!
On one occasion I injured by shoulder & was in real pain -I was given a prompt appointment with one of Andy's colleagues & after a few sessions of acupuncture combined with manipulations I was amazingly better! I really believe in their philosophy of assisting the human body in healing itself. I wish more people had this kind support at hand.
Miss B (Caversham)
Best Chiropractor I've been to Extremely friendly and informative service.
Really helped with my long term back pain and very good with after care and rehabilitation. Very reasonably priced and if it's your first time seeing a chiropractor and your nervous Reflex is the place for you as they are very good at putting you at ease and explaining exactly what they will do. Also, really good as they open late Monday-Thursday so I don't need time off work to go.
Miss C (Tilehurst)
I would just like to say a big "THANK YOU" to Andrew Green at Reflex Chiropractic Clinic.
I had been having a lot of pain over a number of months and got to a stage where it hurt to breath and I was unable to carry out the simplest of tasks. After a few visits the pain reduced significantly and I was able to carry out all the things that we all take for granted. I have ongoing treatment that really helps. I would suggest that if anyone has a back or neck problem like mine to go to see Andrew sooner rather than waiting as I did.
Thanks for all your hard work and patience. I always enjoy coming for a visit.
Mr H (Reading)
Six Months ago I could barely turn my head!
Andrew
I suppose I have been lucky, at my age, never to have required the services of a chiropractor in the past.
However, six months or so ago, I could barely turn my head – not convenient for driving and painful when trying to sleep - and I saw your advertisement. My first visit produced an immediate improvement and, three visits later. I was back to normal. Thanks for that.
A week ago, beach soccer with my grandson was fun at the time but I could scarcely walk when I called on you this morning. I am writing to you just four hours later and, although I am not yet ready for football, the improvement is exceptional – you are a genius.
I would have no hesitation at all in recommending your services elsewhere and I am very pleased (and comfortable about my own future) to have made your acquaintance.
Sincerely,
Mr W (Caversham)
After 5 years of increasing lower back pain I had an emergency micro-discectomy operation in 2003.
Virtually the whole disc was removed. Although this helped with initial pain relief, after about three months I was again suffering with continual lower back discomfort, sometimes with severe pain. To make life more tolerable I had weekly treatments with numerous health professionals, involving acupuncture, traction and ‘muscle technique treatment’. I was also prescribed a daily dose of B anti-inflammatory tablets. I visited my surgeon again and a fusion operation was suggested.
So many people had offered their opinions that I was sceptical at first but Andrew Green’s ideas and interest in my case history persuaded me to allow him the chance at making some real and lasting improvement to my condition.
Progress was immediate and continuous. Within a couple of months of receiving treatment, combined with muscle strengthening exercises I felt considerably more comfortable. I have now reached the stage where I have a monthly treatment from Andy and I am at the next stage of set exercises. So for the first time in a very long while I can confidently use the words “I am pain free!”.
Mrs P (Berkshire)
The care I have received has been faultless at all times.
I like the hands-on approach which makes you realize that things are being corrected. Although the benefits have not been immediate, which I was told to expect, I feel a whole lot better than if I had not received any chiropractic care. I feel Andy has been open and honest with me, I have learned more about how my body works and also that “ice is my friend!”.
Thank you to Andy and Heidi for their hard work.

Sports Injury
Thank heavens for Andy Green!
As a practitioner of the Israeli fighting system called Krav Maga, I’ve been unfortunate enough to be impaired by a number of injuries including a dislocation of my left shoulder and suffering a spinal injury that had a detrimental effect on the muscles and nerves around my right shoulder.
Andy has demonstrated an incredible ability to speedily locate the centre of pain and discomfort and apply the most appropriate treatment to heal my injuries. It has always been imperative for me to fully recuperate and return to my Krav Maga classes as quickly as possible and Andy has always facilitated this.
I cannot recommend this guy highly enough. You may have ignored the pain caused by a sports related injury and carried on with your sport without treatment and now find yourself with a chronic impairment but there is never any need to suffer in silence or trust to luck that the problem will heal itself. Consult Andy, and if my experiences of his exceptional treatment are anything to go by, you’ll be returned to a fully active and pain free sporting life with the minimum of delay.
Mr G (Reading)
Sports Injury
I first came to see Andy nearly two years ago, having suffered with back problems for three years of my rowing career. Prior to this point, I had used physiotherapy as a treatment for any injuries. Yet, the same injuries would recur year on year and often take months and numerous treatments to settle down. From my first chiropractic session, I was impressed with Andy’s explanation of interlinked nature of injury and how discomfort in one area would impact on another. I have found his sessions to have a rapid desired effect and follow up appointments are given where necessary, as opposed to standard procedure. Certainly from a financial point of view, as a full time athlete, this is a welcome discovery. As I have progressed further toward an elite status training has placed increasing demands on my body. I feel that Andy helps me not only in treating an existing injury, but also in ensuring that any ‘niggles’ are not allowed to progress to the injury stage.This has meant that I have lost less training/competition time due to injury and this is the most important thing to any athlete.
Miss M (London)
Sports Injury
I have nothing but good things to say about the Reflex Chiropractic team. I have seen a number of good Chiropractors in the Reading area over the years, and I have to say Andy is one of the best. Not just the usual chiropractic treatments, but also postural analysis from head to feet, looking at the way I tread, sit and stand.
As a Commonwealth-level fencer, I have to attribute some of my success to Andy's knowledgeable and intuitive treatments. In fact, it was Andy's own sporting history that initially persuaded me to give them a try! His honest and open way of working with you gives you confidence that seeking help from Reflex Chiropractic was definitely a good idea.

Headaches:
'I have had severe migraine every 4 weeks for almost 16 years.
First I get an aura, in my case half the vision in my right eye disappears for 20 mins. Then my right side goes weak from head to toe and I get pins and needles and numbness in my tongue, lips and nose. That's just the start! Next I have to stop whatever I'm doing and rush home as fast as possible because I know once the headache starts I will not be able to drive, walk or do anything other than lie down. The headache is right sided and feels like a bolt in my temple which is relieved by pressure. 3 prescription only drugs manage to dull the pain enough for me to survive.
This USED to last for THREE DAYS.
As you can imagine disabling and disruptive to both work and family life, not to say sodding miserable.
My GP sent me to neurologists, psychiatrists and on quite a few goose chases too (!)
THEN I met Andrew. My neck was like concrete, but guess what? A few painless clicks and crunches later, the normal feeling in my right side came back with a whoosh (I had got used to being a bit numb all the time), I now feel equal on both sides although my right calf is still thinner than the left, AND best of all if I see Andrew for top up treatment every 4 weeks I DON'T GET MIGRAINE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I know it's due to Andy's treatment because if I get cocky and miss one, I get a migraine, although now they only last 1 day instead of 3!
I do not exaggerate to say I have my life back. If I think about the pain both I and my family of two little girls(now aged 15 and 11) who grew up experiencing the regular absence of their mother into a darkened room for 3 days, I feel very emotional and angry for any other poor migraine sufferers out there. So I spread the word!'
With HUGE thanks Andy,
Mrs G (Caversham)
Neck Pain anf Foot/Ankle mechanics
A Life-changer: I first went to see Andrew about a year ago when I completely messed my neck up. He quickly diagnosed the problem, and started treatment. Within a few weeks I was just about fixed, and could function normally again. Have been back to see him regularly ever since, and he's always helpful, very knowledgeable, and has helped me immensely both with my neck and sorting out the general aches and pains that I thought were just part of day to day life. I was very wrong.
Recently Andrew also helped me in diagnosing and providing orthortics (shoe inserts) to help with bad posture / foot issues / "flat feet" etc., and again, he's helped to completely change the way I do things. Gone are the aches and pains after a long day at work, or after a game of squash/cycle/run. If you have any issues, pains or niggles at all, go see Andrew (or Laura, Andrew's lovely wife), you'll be glad you did. Thank you Andrew, you're a LEGEND!

Jaw Problems
(Note: This patient’s migraine symptoms were predominantly caused by loss of function in the neck. As this was restored it relieved the trigger for the migraine headaches) Andrew Green.
I had suffered with jaw problems for 10 years, symptoms of which included headaches, ‘toothache’, and earache, neck and face pain. Eventually it was suggested to me that I see a chiropractor. I went to see Andy, and after an initial consultation he agreed to treat me. I felt I had also found someone who actually believed my symptoms were real. Even after my first treatment I could feel the difference. Now several weeks down the line no longer have any of these symptoms. If only I hadn’t waited so long, I could have bee pain free a long time ago.
Mrs M (Reading)
Shoulder Pain:
My shoulder had been giving me pain for a long time. Trying to put on a bra in the morning or my coat was both very painful and difficult. I went to see Andrew Green and he treated my shoulder with a special technique for frozen shoulders. The treatments were a little uncomfortable but I could feel some improvement in mobility almost straight away. I have now received about 6 sessions and the shoulder is completely free and painless to do anything. I still cannot believe how much it has improved so quickly.
Mrs K (Caversham)
Neck & Shoulder Problems
I had been having problems with my neck and shoulder for some time - stiffness, restricted movement and continuous pain, sometimes so severe that it kept me awake at night. I decided to consult a chiropractor as a better alternative to the pain killers I had been taking.
Frozen shoulder was diagnosed, which was depressing news as I knew this could take up to 30 months to recover. Andrew decided to use a new treatment which was proving successful with other sufferers of frozen shoulder. The treatment takes half an hour and so far I have had 4, one each week - the results are amazing! After only one treatment my arm and shoulder movements were less restricted and less painful. Each treatment resulted in a dramatic improvement and now, after only 4 treatments, almost all of my original movement span has returned, there is very little pain - sometimes none at all, and I can sleep through the night.
Mrs T (Caversham)
Foot & Ankle Mechanics
Andrew first saw my daughter a few years ago when she complained of painful legs. After thoroughly checking her posture he found she had a problem with her feet. She is now the proud owner of a magic pair of orthotics and no painful legs! Andrew has gone on to help her immensely with tendonitis in her arm which she damaged whist rowing. His expertise in this specialist area of sports injury has been critical in her being able to continue with the sport. I can recommend The Reflex Chiropractic Clinic to anyone who is tired of struggling on and putting up with pain.
Mrs N (Sonning Common)
Spinal Rehabilitation
I first visited Reflex about 3 years ago with constantly reoccurring lower back pain that Sports Physio / Standard Physiotherapy had failed to cure and within the first visit Andrew had identified what was causing the flare ups and devised a treatment / core strengthening plan to help me. After a few visits the pain had gone but I now go on a regular basis to manage the situation.
I can honestly say that Andrew's open & honest assessment was very refreshing and his treatment second to none. I would have no hesitation in recommending all the staff at Reflex and I have followed through with this myself as other family members now benefit from their help.
