I can recommend this lady but don't think she does NHS although she is in the NHS medical centre in Park Road

I had severe nerve fibre damage C6/C7 that had my shoulder and arm near worthless and in constant pain +pins and needles, Osteo sessions x10 helped a little but it was physio and excercises that helped most. I'd recommend physio over chiro/Osteo to begin with.

I have experienced back pain that was caused by poor posture and lack of core strength. After numerous referrals (private & NHS) the best treatment  was provided by sports therapist. I used Manuel at Crouch End YMCA gym.  Private physio complete waste of time. Wouldn't personally use a chiropractor. I would use Manuel again, totally trust his assessment and recommendations.

I don't have serious issues, but I was told by a chiropractor time ago and now again in a short spine check, that I have 3-4 disks blocked and my pelvis asymmetric  and sx moved more forward than  right side. And that I can't do much on my own to make it right, but need to treat it with sessions. I know it's important to be cautious that's why I am asking recommendation. I believe the person makes the difference! 
However I wondered whether the osteopathy approach might be more or less appropriate than the chiropractic in such case! I tried chiropractic in the past but never tried osteopathy.

Thanks for the articles NEILt, I read them and I think I am enough aware and balanced in how to move within the complementary medicines dimension. :)

Thanks all for the answers, any further opinion is appreciated!

Try Justin at Integrated Body Dynamics on Ferme Park Road. It sounds like you may be looking for a second opinion re "can't do much on my own to make it right", I'd trust him to give an informed and honest view on that.
