I found David online after being referred to the dental hospital for TMJ Disorder. As the waiting time is several months, I needed to find some immediate pain relief. I had strong painkillers and physio without success. After the first treatment with David, I felt an enormous difference. He is basically a magician! Laser treatment and acupuncture combined with massage and neck manipulation resulted in a total transformation. Can’t recommend him highly enough.
