Health and happiness,
Dr. Gary Weber
Nine months ago I was in absolute agony and had been told by a physician that my neck and back problems were something I would just have to live with! A good night's sleep was a thing of the past! I couldn't do anything without being in pain which made me feel drained and really down in myself. My problems had crept up on me over a couple of years and had reached an extreme where I actually didn't realise what it was like to not be in pain - it had become my every day life.
Then I started treatment with Gary Weber and within weeks I could feel the difference. Today I hardly ever feel actual pain - I have so much more energy and feel happier in myself. I am back exercising at the gym and I sleep through the night hardly ever waking up stiff. I didn't realise how much pain I was in until Gary put me on the road to recovery. I cannot recommend him more highly. He turned my life around.
Thank you.

I came to have my first appointment with Gary Weber at his clinic approximately 10 years ago. At the time, I was very ill. I had been wearing a pelvic belt for a long time and arch supports in my shoes, and was receiving dental treatment for jaw realignment and my teeth were wired. I had been receiving treatment from a practice many miles away and the transport requirements were becoming onerous for my family. At the time I was on highest rate disability benefit and had a regular home care. I was unable to drive, and spent a lot of my time bedridden.
Gary took me on as a patient and was immensely reassuring that he would do all in his power to help and support me and ensure that I would be up and functioning without any of the props which were helping to hold me together.
Suffice it to say, he has been a godsend to me, and someone that I have found who has always been highly professional, able to provide appropriate treatment at the time it has been required.
As a result of Gary's treatment, I have managed to resume a normal life. I have gone from highest rate disability, to requiring no benefits at all – and managing to support myself - for seven years as a result of attending Gary's practise.
I have no hesitation in recommending Gary Weber to you as a highly professional and skilled chiropractor.
Sincerely

I first meet Doctor Gary Weber in 1994, following a visit to his Vange, Essex practice, when I was experiencing stiffness and pain in my lower back.
After taking x-rays, Gary explained the problem and assured me that what was causing it was not insurmountable, and advised me that he estimated that 12 sessions of treatment would have me right.
I am pleased to report that he was true to his word, and from that moment on, my back didn't give me any further trouble to talk about for the next 12 years!
It wasn't until 2006 that my back gave me reason to seek Chiropractic treatment again,by which time Gary had moved on from Vange.
After some detective work on the Internet I tracked him down to Docklands and although this is some distance from where I now live on the Essex/Suffolk border, I decided that following my previous experience I would make the effort to get along to see him.
I now make regular visits down to Docklands to be treated by him and I am pleased to say once again that it has been a very positive experience.

I'm writing to say how grateful I am for all the help given to me and my family over the past fourteen years by Gary Weber and The Basildon/Dockland Chiropractic Clinic.
In my case, after being involved in a bad car accident, I was totally unable to move my neck in any direction without causing myself considerable pain. I had a number of alternative treatments and even neck manipulation under anaesthetic before attending for chiropractic carried out by Gary. Within three treatments I was able to turn my head a complete forty five degrees in both directions without undue discomfort. Since that time, I have had regular treatment at the clinic and am now able to lead a full and virtually pain free life.
In my wife Lynne's case she, being an active athlete, has long suffered with skeletal problems. Since her first treatment, also fourteen year ago, she has regularly received treatment from Gary at Docklands. Lynne, has been able to continue her running, she has been an Essex County and English International Cross Country Runner. Lynne feels that without the professional intervention she has received from Gary her running career would have terminated many years ago.
Samaya, my daughter has also benefited from chiropractic. Being a serious migraine sufferer Samaya claims that it is only since she has visited the clinic to receive treatment by Gary that she has been relieved of much of her migraine problems.
My two sons, Curtis and Tyron, have also been looked after by Gary. Tyron, being a diabetic receives benefit for posture and back problems and Curtis has chiropractic for purely maintenance reasons.
Gary Weber and his staff have throughout the fourteen years that we have been his patients, acted in a professional and caring way and the integrity shown to us all is of the highest order.
In closing I would like to say that this testimonial is giving without solicitation on behalf of Gary Weber or any staff or agents of The Basildon or Dockland Clinic.

I am writing to give my support for Mr. Gary Weber’s treatment and care that I have received over the last 3 months. I first went to Gary with headaches and severe back pain due to years of sporting injuries.
Gary was able to improve very quickly my quality of life with ease and he explained in detail how the body works and the impact of various injuries were having with general well being.
Over the course of treatment that I have had I can honestly say I no longer have headaches and I am able to sleep at night without constant pains running down my legs.
Compare this approach of a now ex GP ‘They are sporting injuries and age related, so get on with it.’

To the Docklands team: I wanted to write you to say that I am very happy that you took such a holistic approach to solving my back and neck pain. I got immediate relief from the sharp pains I had, after the first few sessions. I was most assured though by the fact that you didn’t just leave me at that point, but recommended a solution for solving my pain for the long term. In the past I have tried a lot of different therapies including deep tissue massage, osteopathy, physiotherapy, shiatsu etc. These would all temporarily relieve my pain, but it would always come back. Thanks to the care and planning your put into designing a unique treatment plan that will resolve my back and neck issues. I am relieved to find a long term solution that actually works instead of the quick fixes that never fully solved my problem in the past.
Cheers,

Hi Gary,
Hope all is well in sunny England!
Just wanted to drop you a little note before I go away on my Hols to let you know how well things are going for me over here and to thank you again for everything you’ve done for me over the last year or so.
Ben and I are so excited about our first real trip abroad and, for the first time in years, I can look forward to a holiday without dreading the long flights in economy and the recovery I would have had to go through when I arrived in Australia. I really can’t imagine how different things may have been had you not walked into our showroom that day and seen, unlike all the doctors I had visited over here, that I had an illness that could actually be cured. I want to say again how incredibly grateful I am that you not only took time out of your holiday to see me each day but also that you and Laura welcomed me to come for further treatments in London when we all know I never had the funds to really pay my way! Even when I was here and you were in the UK, your help over the telephone was so important to me when there were times that I felt there was no way out and nobody that understood.
I know we have spoken frequently on the phone about how good I am feeling right now but I just want you to know, now that things are moving in the right direction, how important all the things are that you have done for me. I wake up each day and feel not only that I can cope, but that there is so much to look forward to. In have an incredible relationship, a career and a fantastic social life and I feel that such a huge part of that is down to you.
We will be in England sometime early in the New Year and look forward to taking you out for some dinner and a few bottles of wine! Hope you have a great Christmas with Laura. Come and see me in Dubai very soon.
All My Love.
Your very grateful and happy friend,
Lucinda
I have been visiting Docklands Chiropractor Clinic since January of this year, after years of a recurring back problem which my doctor was unable to diagnose and Gary was recommended by a friend who claimed '...he had sorted her back out within six months'.
After my first assessment with Gary, an X-ray was taken and a week later 'Scoliosis' was diagnosed. He devised an intensive treatment plan for me, which is still on-going. Since having treatment I have noticed an increased improvement, although not 100% free from the problem, the pain I was in at the beginning of the year, to now is incredible.
Gary is a pleasure to have as a chiropractor. He's knowledgeable, understanding and thorough - makes you feel very comfortable during treatment and can get the best 'clicks and pops' from my neck, back and hips - which really help in re-alignment
Regards,
Steph Withey
I wanted to say Thank You for the work you have done with me. As you well know, Gary, being in the Martial Arts domain, whilst it keeps you fit, you do get some knocks and bruises and sometimes your body gets out of kilter.
What I have found in your way of healing, on a regular basis, is that it has taught me to be aware of when my body is out of 'synch', and subsequently when I have treatment with you, I feel that I have been re-balanced.
It's a big like when you have had a service on the car, everything works so much better.
Working as a Business Change Consultant in many industries, I find many people just putting up with the aches, pains and problems their bodies are signalling to them.
Receiving a treatment from you on a regular basis should be standard. Therefore, would always recommend your services.
Thank you again Gary.
Very Best Wishes

Headaches
We first consulted Mr. Gary Weber at Basildon Chiropractic Clinic last April, having seen an advertisement in a local newspaper.
At that time our then eight year old son, Dominic, was suffering from daily headaches. At school, though bright, he seemed unable to concentrate and rarely completed his full day’s work. We had worked with his teachers to find a solution but nothing seemed to have much effect.
Dominic was born with a twisted neck muscle (torticollis) and has been seeing an Orthopaedic Consultant at regular intervals. It was thought that his scoliosis, which by then was quite noticeable, could have been contributing to the headaches. The Orthopaedic Consultant was happy to refer us to Mr. Weber.
A little over six months later, Dominic’s spine is noticeably straighter. For the first time in his four and half years at school his teacher has reported that he is working hard, concentration well and getting his work done consistently. He has not had any headaches since mid July and is a much happier disposition generally. His Orthopaedic Consultant has confirmed the improvement in his spine.
Dominic’s treatments have reduced from twice weekly, in April, to once a month with some simple stretching exercises to carry out at home; we are delighted with the changes in him.
Yours sincerely
Keith and Judy Hoskins
Migraine Headaches
I felt I needed to put in writing my immense gratitude for the wonderfully beneficial treatment I have received from you.
When I first came to you in July last year, as I told you then, you were my last hope in trying to find some relief for my health problems. I have to admit a certain amount if cynicism when after X rays and examination you said you would be able to cure my Migraine, dizzy head and back and neck problems. However within weeks, after intensive treatment I was very much better and now nine months later I cannot believe the difference to my life.
As you know my husband normally attends with me and whilst somewhat sceptical to begin with, he now wishes we had known about you years ago.
My biggest relief is in being able to make plans, without the awful fear that I would have to cancel them owing to another Migraine attack. Whilst I have the occasional Migraine, this I can cope with. As I have told you I have had them for forty odd years and they often necessitate me spending days in bed. So as I say the odd one I can manage. It is also such a relief not to have to be continually taking medication.
When I think of the treatment I have had over the years, all to no avail, and you were my ‘last resort’ in future you will be my ‘first stop.’
Yours sincerely
Elizabeth Ann Tooke
Headaches
I would just like to express my thanks for the treatment I have received at your clinic. I was recommended to come and see you by our school nurse Mrs. Smalley. I have suffered with headaches practically all my life but the last two years have been particularly bad. I had a span of 6 moths and then one of 3 months with continuous headaches. I had tried homeopathy, acupuncture, hypnosis, relaxation classes, cortisone injections etc. but all to no avail and I had really given up hope of ever feeling better. However, after only a few treatments with you there was a noticeable decrease in the frequency and severeness of my headaches. After two months of intensive treatment not only have my headaches eased off, I feel much better overall.
I have since recommended three of my colleagues and my husband to come to you for treatment.
Keep up the good work.
Yours sincerely,
Mrs Marianne Morgan
Laura's Story
In the summer of 1996 Laura was a confident, intelligent, happy and healthy 11 year old child. That Autumn she started to have a series of chest infections that ended up as asthma. The relevant drugs were administered.
Late Autumn her knee collapsed and she was unable to walk. Pain killers were prescribed and we were told to go home and await a hospital appointment. Eventually Laura saw an Orthopaedic surgeon who refused to listen to her fathers please to look at her back as he instinctively felt there was a problem there.
Physiotherapy did help her knee problem. The Asthma continued to cause problems – more drugs administered usually under emergency conditions. Laura also began to put on weight, a factor which no doctor commented on and her parents assumed was the side effect of the drugs.
Laura was now beginning to suffer quite severe back pain. The doctors prescribed pain killers and asked Laura to touch her toes!!!
The frustration at the system that treated only the symptoms without identifying the cause was becoming intense. Laura’s father was even told by one doctor to stop bringing Laura to him as this act was making her ill.
The family knew there was something wrong with Laura. The doctors dished out pain killers and tested her for some of the conditions suggested by her parents. Meanwhile Laura became withdrawn and her weight and pain increased. She was frightened and confused – no one outside the family talked directly to her.
The summer of 1997 passed. Laura seemed to be slightly better. She was in constant pain and very tired but having her family and friends around seemed to help. She was also attending a chiropractor in London who gave her some relief from the pain and told her what some of her problems were and how she could be helped. Her parents now felt that although the relief was instant it could not be sustained because of the strenuous journey to and from the chiropractor.
After a year of frustration Laura seemed to be making small steps toward recovery. However by October 1997 Laura was very ill. The pain throughout her body was so intense she could not get out of a chair unaided. More doctors, more pain killers and now a clinical psychologist. She required full time care and the doctors were beginning to become concerned about the amount of time she was missing from school. A referral to the Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children was finally considered by her doctors. M.E. was suspected but her parents. It was now impossible for Laura to travel to London for treatment by the chiropractor and a local practitioner was recommended.
In October 1997 Laura’s father took her to Basildon Chiropractic Clinic to see Dr. Gary Weber. Laura was still too ill to attend school and found even short car journeys painful as the vibrations amplified her pain.
Gary examined Laura carefully and explained that her mechanical structure was misaligned.
