Chiropractor in Richmond Reviews

I was recommended to the clinic by my friend and I'm glad I went! I've been suffering with lower back pain for many years and after my consult with Dr Sanvir it was evident that he was highly knowledgeable and explained things clearly. The rec team are very welcoming and always accommodating with bookings. Over the past 4 months I've notice an improvement in my back and overall wellbeing as I'm now able to do a lot more. Do yourself a favour and visit Healing Hands to see how a professional chiropractic clinic is run. Highly recommend.

I've had 8 sessions so far. Dr Sanvir helped me with my back pain and is very friendly. They have a great team working here. Highly recommend them. Health is wealth.

I initially booked a free assessment with Dr. Sanvir after reading about his qualifications and positive reviews, even though the clinic was quite far from me. He was excellent during the first visit and asked me to return for a more detailed assessment and tests which I was happy to do.

However, at my second appointment, I was surprised to find out on the spot I had been booked with a different person, someone whose name Is not even on the website and I wasn’t informed about that change at all. The receptionist said that “she didn’t notice when she booked” even though i booked in person and Dr.Sanvir was there as well! She casually said that it doesn’t matter and the doctor would “just pass on the information” to Dr. Sanvir, as if continuity of care and choice of specialist don’t matter.

This is incredibly frustrating. I care about which doctor I’m seeing, especially when I made the effort to choose one based on research. I also have a busy schedule and took over an hour to get there and another hour to get back, only to be met with this kind of disorganization and disregard for my wasted time.
They did refund my appointment and the other receptionist was nice and apologetic. But I’m simply not going there again.

I've been in a car accident about 10 years ago that left me with minor injuries to my spine and a broken arm. And even though it feels like a lucky escape the after care left me going round from one osteopath to another chiropractor in circles. I've come across Healing Hands practice at the beginning of the pandemic and I'm very grateful to have met the Team. Course of treatment advised by Dr Sanvir has worked miracles on my posture and day to day mobility. Bad habits developed from working a Mon to Fri 'desk job' are long gone. Spine adjustments relieved me of discomfort and made me regain my flexibility. After first course of treatment I took a year break as pandemic got in the way. But I've received a very warm welcome in June and I'm back to continue my journey. I would definitely recommend coming in for even an initial assessment appointment (currently at a discounted price). Getting the x-ray or scan (or both) will be an eye opener for everyone. Dr Sanvir's knowledge and experience comes with a priceless tag.

My experience at Healing Hands Chiropractic have been great. They are very thorough in their approach on how to rectify any pain or correction needed. Detail information from scans are thoroughly explained from findings, making it easy to understand. Reception staff are very friendly and sociable making first point of contact easy. Payments are affordable and flexible making it easy to keep your mind at ease. Best Chiropractors I have encountered.

I have been having treatment from Dr Sanvir at Healing Hands Chiropractic in Richmond Surrey for five months now and I feel the best I have felt in years thanks to the treatment I have received. I am only 40 and before coming to Healing Hands I regularly had to walk with a walking stick, and couldn’t stand for very long. This was due to a five year history of hip, lower back and SIJ pain, along with a pinched sciatic nerve. I also could not turn my head, had headaches 3-4 times a week, pain across my eyes, brain fog, and hearing loss. I have been in pain for years. I was scared of going to a chiropractor because I was in so much pain and I didn’t want to go to someone who would just start cracking away without checking what was going on first. I needn’t have worried. Dr Sanvir is so kind and patient. He took a full history, and did scans and x rays before even starting treatment. Dr Sanvir takes the time to help you understand what is going on in your body and how chiropractic treatment works. I trust he is not going to do me any harm or treat me unnecessarily. I haven’t walked with a stick since starting treatment with Dr Sanvir. My sciatic pain has gone. My headaches have gone. I can sleep better. My neck pain has gone. My thinking is clearer, my writing is easier (I am a writer), my brain fog has gone. I am pretty sure my hearing has improved. (Dr Sanvir does these very cool ear adjustments) Healing Hands Richmond is not on my doorstep, it takes me 1hr 45min to get to my appointment and it is worth it. I chose Healing Hands because of the care they take of their patients, and the comprehensive assessments. The reception staff are also amazing. They are so helpful and go out of their way to help me fit appointments around my work and life. I can’t recommend Healing Hands Chiropractic highly enough, Thank you.

I came in last Friday for the first time - had X-rays and a bunch of tests before my first appointment on the Saturday. They had a special on (see brochure). They gave me a full X-ray analysis of my back, spine and posture. Never in my life thought - that within a week - I’d be walking (instead of waddling) or sleeping well (instead of grunting while I turn over). These guys sincerely live up to the name ‘healing hands’. Unreal. So incredibly grateful to Sanvir and Tim (a locum who saw me on my first day). Bloody miracle workers. Thank you thank you!

I had a fantastic experience at Healing Hands Chiropractic. It’s a small, private practice, which means you get really personalized care and attention. Dr. Sanvir took the time to listen to my concerns, explain everything clearly, and tailor the treatment to exactly what I needed. The office is clean, calm, and welcoming, and I never felt rushed. After just a few visits, I noticed a real improvement in my pain and mobility. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for thoughtful, effective chiropractic care in a comfortable, one-on-one setting.

I have tried various practitioners for bad back (reviewed here), and this place is THE worst experience I’ve had. They use the American sales model of selling you a “package”. This is done by spending 30-40 minutes with you in the first 2 appointments, where you have scans and an X-ray done and the idea is that they solve the underlying problem. Sounds great, so far. In the 2nd session, you are given a sales pitch about how it would cost £4,000 at Harley Street but if you book 36 sessions here then you only pay like £1,500 etc. I signed up for 12 sessions for £480 (plus the cost of the first two sessions which was around £150 I believe). I realise now that the first 2 sessions are just a marketing and sales opportunity. However, each of the following 12 “sessions” is literally 3 minutes long. Not joking. 3 minutes is all you get. (Funny how none of the other 230+ 5-star positive reviews never mention this.) And, you don’t even get the privacy of being seen in a room – you are seen in an open space which has 3 physio beds/benches/tables laid out side by side and there are always other people on the other tables. At times, my chiro, Chintan, even moved across to the other table and did a little manoeuvre on the person waiting there before returning to me etc. There is a general sense of urgency and you have no time to ask questions or express concerns. Your specific problem is not addressed – in fact, I can tell you right now the 5 moves that Chintan will do on you if you go and see him. And that’s all he will do whether any progress is being made or not. Indeed, you are just a faceless cash cow who is there to be milked, in a conveyer belt operation. This whole promise of “12 sessions” was a blatant mis-selling and marketing scam. The “treatment” could be fitted into 3-4 proper 30-minute sessions, saving the patient not just money, but an enormous amount of time. After my 12 “sessions” I felt no better at all – the chiro knew there was no progress being made, but since I had already paid up in advance, I was stuck, and I don’t think he was too bothered. Looking back, he must have realised early on that my pain is muscular and not skeletal, and rather than telling me that he wasn’t qualified to fix me, he just went through the motions. It’s like an electrician charging me again and again to fix a leaking tap, pretending that he knows what to do, rather than telling me to get a plumber. Then at the end, there is meant to be a follow up session to see the new scans and what improvements have been made. Well, the looking at the scans took literally 30 seconds and it’s done so fast that it’s of no value. My pain was still there. As much as before I started this whole saga. Chintan even had the cheek to ask me if I wanted to sign up for another 12 sessions. The whole experience has left me feeling cheated, taken advantage of, and jaded. Not only did I waste over £600, but I wasted dozens of hours in travelling/attending meaningless and ineffective sessions; and I endured 2 months of pain because whilst I was a client here, I couldn’t get treatment elsewhere. The ONLY good thing about this money-making-scheme, sorry, I meant “clinic”, is that the ladies at the reception are very polite and helpful. A day after I stopped coming here, I went to see a physio who diagnosed me on the first session with a trapped nerve near the gluteus minimus and started treatment right away, reducing my pain the same day. My advice if you have a bad back – stay away from this place.

Story Time...... From when I booked the new patient appointment the communication was seamless. I received an email and then a link to pay for the follow up appointment to retrieve my results. The day before the appointment I received a call to confirm my appointment and a follow up email. I also received a call on the day thanking me for confirming and providing me with detailed instructions of how to get to the practice based on my travel method. Upon arrival I was greeted by 2 wonderful members of staff (I do apologize I do not remember the lovely ladies name but will be sure to ask again when I visit). One of the members of staff went through the form I needed to complete advising what it was and what I need to fill. They advised that Dr Sanvir would be with me soon and offered refreshments. When I saw Dr Sanvir, he was very friendly and explained the whole procedure, what would be required, what tests I would complete, went through my history and explained everything perfectly. I had such a wonderful experience. The staff were so friendly, welcoming, professional, knowledgeable and passionate about their jobs. I felt thoroughly looked after. It was the best experience I have had. I felt that its the best examination that I have had since my herniated disc and sciatica, I actually wish I had come here when I had first been experiencing issues with my back. I could not fault them. They were recommended by a friend who had been suffering from back issues for years and after just one session with them, she was pain free. I would give them 10 stars out of 5 (so basically more then top marks). I am due to go down tomorrow for my results but I am already certain that I want to do the treatment with them and I believe they will help me with my back issues. I recommend them highly. If you want a seamless top quality service then this is the practice for you. They really know their stuff and I was sold after only 2 minutes of being in the practice and I hadn't even seen the Dr at that point. Thank you so much to the Team at Healing Hands, you really do make it an enjoyable experience and make your customers feel at ease and valued. I hope this feedback really goes to the top and you are rewarded greatly. Kind Regards Chenyse

I came to Dr Chintan at Healing Hands for unbearable pain in my top right upper back. I have left there with no pain anymore, and a restructured posture and I can not recommend this service enough! Extremely happy with the results and I can sleep peacefully at night again! Thank you Dr Chintan!

Healing Hands Chiropractic Richmond are such welcoming, super efficient and lovely people. I went to see Dr Sanvir because I had lower back pain, neck pain and numbing hands and sciatica in my right leg plus monthly migraines - and in less than 2 years he has proved he has the healing hands to completely stop all my pains. I was in a very bad condition before (Dr Sanvir took x-ray scans of my spine and it showed the hernias I had and that my bones were already in a very bad condition- very close to getting arthritis,) but now I am back to being a normal -completely pain free- person again because of his help. I got my pains from cycling with drop down handle bars (all the weight and pressure went into my wrists) and also because I had 3 pregnancies- and then had the young children to bend down to or lift up- my spine had been through a lot. I am only in my early 40’s so Dr Sanvir has saved me from having any surgery- which would have been necessary without his help. I am very grateful to him and have and will continue to recommend him many times over.

My back pain diminished significantly. I feel light and much more healthier. Besides, the team is very warm and welcoming. Thank you Healing Hands ?

I came across Healing Hands Chiropractic by chance, and since then I’ve called it serendipity. Being 3 months pregnant and struggling with back pain, I was worried about where I could go that would be safe while being pregnant, and pregnancy massages haven’t had enough of a long lasting effective. However when I walked into this practice, I was treated with so much care and tenderness, with full understanding of my situation and sharing their expertise with chiropractic care for pregnant women. I had a full body scan to look at my problem areas before any treatment was given, and I was amazed at how accurate it was. Since going the past two weeks, I’ve already felt wonders for my body and for such expertise the rates are really worth it. I highly recommend this practice and have felt so welcomed by all of the staff who I already feel like I’ve known a long time!

I would like to recommend the Healing Hands Chiropractic in Richmond clinic for the excellent work, I had my first consultation with Dr Sanvir Maharaj, he is super charismatic, attentive, enlightening and welcoming. After the x-ray and the scan, the Dr showed me everything there was to correct in my spine, he gave me a lot of confidence with all the knowledge he has in the area. Unfortunately I had a bad experience with a chiropractor in Wimbledon, I found the clinic through great reviews on google and from patients who were able to definitively solve their problems through Dr Maharaj and his team. After the first consultation and adjustments, I already felt a good improvement. I would also like to thank the team at reception, Sadia Barlow and Arzo Osmani for the welcome and for the great customer service.

“I have been seeing Sanvir and his team for the past few months. I can’t recommend them enough, so friendly and professional in such a relaxed environment. Their carefully laid out plan for me and weekly sessions has led to a real improvement in my back. Thank you! Greg W”

I booked an appointment after reading the positive reviews on Google. Dr Sanvir went through my life style and did a a detailed assessment including x-ray of my back to get to the route cause of my issue, he explained everything step by step and how he intending to fix my issue. I have had 8 adjustments with Dr Sanvir so far, he is every professional and know exactly what he is doing, my situation has improved alot with every session and I hope to be back to my best by the end of the recommended treatment. I would highly recommend Dr Sanvir and healing hands for their customers friendly and professional approach.

I recently visited this chiropractor and had an amazing experience! From the moment I walked in, I felt at ease, and the treatment was so relaxing. Not only did I leave feeling completely relaxed, but my breathing had significantly improved, and I could actually move my neck properly again without any stiffness or discomfort. To my surprise, after just the first session, I even felt a little taller—something I wasn’t expecting but was definitely noticeable! I highly recommend giving it a try, especially with the incredible offer of 83% off that’s currently available. Definitely worth it!

Good day all. I been suffering with my back for 3 years now with degenerative disc disease. I struggle alot with pain and moving around. I was recommended by a concerned friend after carrying out much research. He convinced me to try Healing Hands at 26 Richmond hill. I finally gave in and I must say, I have no regrets except that I wish I knew of them before. The results are amazing after a few treatments. I'm able to move around much better with less discomfort and pain. Sleeping is also much better. Looking forward to the rest of my treatment there. The staff and Chiropractors are very welcoming and patient. Thank you all and Merry Christmas and best wishes for the new year. X

Dr Sanvir has the most gentle manner and voice. He is thorough and caring. I have been having my treatment now for more than a year and am on a top-up and a much less frequent programme. I would keep it going even though I have to travel two hours to get to Richmond as I can walk upright and feel no pain in my wearing knees and hips. My back hasn’t felt so pain free in a long time. Oh! How can I forget the lovely ladies at the reception. All of them are so warm, welcoming and thorough. Thank you to Healing Hands for all the good work.
