Reviews of Epoch Lincoln
K. M.
I am currently in the middle of my treatment with Epoch who have been supporting me with chronic headaches that I have experienced for many years and have also been helping massively to get my autonomic nervous system regulated again after struggling with long covid. Tom is brilliant his knowledge and care has been excellent and I fully trust him which is not something that comes naturally to me. The whole team are a pleasure from the team who welcome you at reception to all the chiropractor team. It has made such a difference to my health and Tom is fully supportive when I have natural dips in my recovery and always knows exactly how to get me back on track. Thank you Epoch I would highly recommend you and look forward to continuing my future care with you

Tom and the team create a relaxing atmosphere at Epoch, they are all very friendly and helpful, nothing is ever to much. I see Tom regularly for treatment, also my partner and my daughter are treated by Tom. The whole team has a wealth of knowledge and have a lot of patience for a lot of questions from my daughter. If my daughter is unsure of any part of the treatment she is having, Tom talks her through the how's and whys calmly and appropriately. I couldn't ask for a better chiropractic team.
M. R.
Having tried self help and physio before to no long term success I took the offer of an assessment from Epoch. The confidence Tom inspired as to what chiropractic adjustments could do for me was great. The best thing is that he and the team delivered on this. Epoch has a great atmosphere, the team are always happy to chat and help, providing flexibility in booking and altering appointments. Thoroughly recommended and I have passed their contact details to many of my friends.

I’ve been seeing Dr Tom and the team for over two years now. I went with a very poorly shoulder due to over working. Previously I’d tried an osteopath that kept me going but didn’t sort the problem. Sense going to Tom I am now so much better then ever. It is a delight to see Tom and the team -in a super friendly environment, all are very helpful, and dedicated. They genuinely care about your health and well being. I would (and often do) highly recommend them to you and your loved ones.

After years of playing rugby and working in an office, my posture was terrible. Sarah has been fantastic since day 1 and after my 3 month progress review, the results are clear. I feel better, have better posture and have changed visibly for the better.
The whole team are fantastic - from the moment you walk in you feel welcomed and supported at all times. Lucy always has a smile on her face and everybody involved knows their stuff.
I would recommend Epoch without hesitation 💪🏼
K. S.
I feel very welcome and supported on every visit, very important as its difficult to start to discuss such personal matters.
The honest, clear explanations (and pictures) of my condition and the measurements of progress have helped me to visualise my situation. I can feel and see the changes that are happening to the shape of my spine and the consequent improvements in my general health and core strength, surprised at how quickly this started to happen.
I very much appreciate the tips and exercises given to help maintain the progress and to regain more control for myself.
Overall I feel more motivated, able and determined to stretch and exercise, so am stronger to carry out the activities I enjoy and to maintain the improvements to my posture. A lifetime project.
Big thank you to all of you.
B. B.
Absolutely amazing service. I struggled to walk when first starting at Epoch. Started with a very thorough assessment followed by treatment from Sarah. She was at all times incredibly professional. Sarah also spent time to explain what she was doing to my young daughter who found this fascinating. Right from initially walking through the door the staff make you feel welcome and like you matter to them. I have had such fantastic improvements I am hoping to get back to playing hockey soon after thinking I wouldn’t play again. Totally recommend and would give more than 5 stars if possible.
I. S.
Just want to say what an incredible person and chiropractor Lewis is. He has changed my life since my first visit. Always so welcoming, and stops at nothing to ensure I am comfortable. He has helped me with back pain, migraines, and general well-being/nutrition. All of the staff at Epoch are so incredibly lovely and I feel lucky to be able to visit once a week and receive amazing service and treatment. Cannot recommend highly enough!!
R. B.
I contacted Epoch Lincoln due to three months of chronic neck and shoulder pain from tendonitis. From my first evaluation at Epoch through my course of adjustments Dr. John has been fantastic. Epoch treat each patient with friendly and clearly explained care. Helping you to understand the course of adjustments they are going to use and supporting you at every stage. After the first 12 weeks of treatment my pain was hugely improved and by the end of the second 12 weeks of treatment almost completely gone. I would recommend Epoch and their excellent staff to anyone. The approach at Epoch isn't cold or clinical and they deliver the best experience they can for each individual patient.

I am currently a little over half way through my treatment with Epoch and specifically Dr. Lewis Sumner.
I am a massive skeptic and don’t like spending money! So right from the get go I was very conscious and wary about paying for the treatment, after trying everything else with no success! But from the moment I walked In everybody made me feel extremely welcomed and comfortable and the changes I have had already felt and had in my body have been huge for me, I’ve gone from entering the clinic with excruciating back pain even walking 1 mile or so and getting severe re-occuring migraines 3/4 times a week, to being able to run 5k and more and barely having even a mild headache, maybe a couple of times in one month. At one point I even searched “how do I become a Chiropractor”!!
I can honestly say this has been one of the best decisions I have made in recent years, monetarily and health wise. Also all the staff are great, chatty, Positive people even when you go in on a bad day, they cheer you up for sure!
So a big thank you to you guys.
Keep up the amazing work Lewis! Not just a great chiropractor, but an awesome person, and hopefully we can stay friends even after I’m fixed!! Remember.. EVERYDAY IS LEG DAY.

I attended Epoch Lincoln following years of increasingly frequent episodes of severe lower back pain. I'm so glad I did.
The staff are welcoming and very knowledgeable. They have worked wonders in slowly correcting my posture and alignment and I haven't suffered anything more than occasional mild discomfort (usually my fault for either not sticking to the tailored stretching exercises they provide, or just overdoing it) and after one visit, it's gone.
I cant recommend them enough. Even in these trying financial times, it's worth every penny. What price your health and freedom of movement?
K. R.
I came to Tom with a few issues back in February. He has been amazing! He has so much knowledge and empathy, he just gets it when you are struggling. He and his whole team have been absolutely amazing always greeted with a warm friendly welcome and nothing is ever too much trouble! I can safely say the encouragement to get better and stay well is unprecedented. Thank you all so much 😊
J. L.
I first attended after experiencing severe lower back pain after having several episodes of the same issue previously and not seeking any help. Within the first two weeks of treatment, I had massive improvements in my pain levels and mobility. I'm now 10 weeks into my treatment and I am virtually pain-free with no restrictions on my movement. Dr John is very friendly and professional and I am extremely grateful for what he has been able to do for me.
T. G.
I initially went to Epoch with lower back issues and even after my first adjustment I noticed a real difference. I was also prone to migraines/ headaches and the amazing thing is I have not had any at all since I started treatment there. It's life changing. My balance is much improved too. The team are a wealth of knowledge and I love their holistic approach. I cannot recommend the Epoch team highly enough
D. M.
The whole team at Epoch are amazing and super friendly. From the very first minute of your first appointment you are made to feel at ease. My treatment is with Dr Tom and if you are suffering give it a go I don't regret it and I'm waking up with no back pain and no pain throughout the day anymore. Thanks Epoch team.

I’m giving a 5 * review to this business, I’m now going into my third phase of treatment which is maintenance… 1 treatment a month.
I will carry on having treatments here with John for the foreseeable future as the difference it has made is incredible and we all need to look after our health, our body is our actual home we live in and we need to look after it to the best of our ability.
The clinic is an amazing communal clinic, you get to see other people having treatment which has a calming influence if you are anxious, no undressing necessary but gym wear is ideal to wear.
All the staff are great, very warm and friendly, you are always greeted by your name and there’s lots of tips and advice given by the staff, they have a fun but factual question on a black board daily.
My big shout out is to John who has treated me, he is just the best, I can’t think of the words to do him justice, he’s kind, caring, knowledgeable, empathetic, humble and obviously an excellent chiropractor!
Sam who does your progress assessments is also a great guy as are all the reception team.
I would highly recommend this practice 5 ***** from me.

Epoch Lincoln has to be the best chicropractors in the country.
I arrived to meet Dr. Tom Waller and his team at the practice in Birchwood with a serious back problem. Within weeks, thanks to Tom`s amazing ability, my back started to improve and after a couple of months of magical treatment my deportment is nearly perfect. I highly recommend this five-star practice.
N. H.
Arrived at Epoch with chronic back ache and restricted movement, after my initial review a programme of adjustments was prescribed by Tom. It was made clear to me that this wasn’t to be a quick fix, more a slow and steady programme of adjustments design to naturally correct my problem. I can honestly say that after my programme of treatment I feel 100% better with higher energy levels and freedom from constant back ache. The team at Epoch are first rate and create a positive healing environment on every visit whilst making the experience enjoyable. I have no hesitation recommending them to fellow suffers of back pain.

I started treatment for Ménière’s disease this time last year. I was completely deaf in one ear and had terrible dizzy spells where I was violently sick and bed-bound for 24 hours at a time. To be honest I had tried every conventional medicine, and had pretty much given up hope, so came to the Epoch centre as a ‘last ditch’ attempt!
I was immediately put at ease by Tom and the team, and came regularly for adjustments.
After about six months of treatments I realised that very gradually my hearing had been restored!! That was the first miracle!
The second was that I have had no sickness or dizziness for months!
I have my life back!
I cannot thank Tom enough. ❤️

A few weeks back I had really badly hurt my neck to the point where I couldn't move it left and right without serious pain. I spoke to a few friends and they all recommended Epoch Lincoln. The receptionist was lovely on the phone and instantly I felt welcome.I was told I'd be meeting Lewis who would then subsequently be taking care of me. Upon my arrival I was warmly greeted and offered a glass of infused water and then shown around the whole building. Epoch is extremely clean and tidy and glittered with information about how to look after your body, your mind and also first names of patients are written on boards, welcoming new and rewarding old. Lewis welcomed me into a side room where he asked me tons of questions are about myself, wellbeing, health and then took photographs and xrays to find out my issues. Upon leaving Lewis then smiled and said I'm confident I can fix you. I knew I was going to be in good hands. Now a fair few sessions down the line I'm feeling great and Lewis constantly tells me my body is responding brilliantly.
Simply put, all the staff are lovely and Lewis has magic hands!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

The difference with my back has been amazing since attending Epoch. I now just attend for adjustment to maintain the progress. I have no pain & generally feel better. The care & attention of all at Epoch is top class.
A. S.
Tom and the team are all such lovely, kind people, professional in all respects. Assessments and adjustments all explained well throughout the process and what a difference a course of treatments has made! Highly recommend Epoch - 5* all the way
C. D.
I can’t recommend Lewis and the team highly enough. I came to Epoch after years of neck and back pain and, after a few months, already have seen significant improvements.
The whole team are friendly and approachable and do a fantastic job in creating a relaxing environment and making sure that you fully understand the entire process.
V. H.
Epoch and Dr. Tom Waller were recommended by my physio after he told me he couldn't help me.
I was in extreme pain and desperately needed help but I was nervous of trying Chiropractic care.
I need not have worried. Everyone at EPOCH works as a team. They are always welcoming with big smiles and you are put at ease instantly. Not an easy task with myself who is not a people person and I am very much don't touch me or come near me.
Each person is treated as the individual they are, everything is explained in a way that can be understood and epoch are very accommodating to individual's needs.
You are treated as a whole person, not just the problem you go with which really helps with your mindset and getting your body better.
It's not just your appointment where you get help. They have an amazing website, very interesting and fun talks by Dr. Tom monthly and always something posted to their Facebook page. Not forgetting the webinars. There is an immense amount of extremely helpful information available.
I was sick of hearing from medical people that I am fat and old. I am not at retirement age yet but yes I am overweight. I thought I would be too fat for treatment.
I have never been made to feel fat or old at EPOCH and its never been mentioned in that way. Just very helpful advice when I have asked.
I feel so much better in myself and now I am more mobile thanks to Dr. Tom's amazing treatment I hope to lose some weight as I can now move more and had advice on diet that fits in with my lifestyle.
I am so glad I took that big step for me and contacted them. I have never done anything for myself before. I am now getting a good life back and looking forwards to the future.
Thankyou Dr. Tom Waller and all at EPOCH.

How does a person say a really BIG thank you for For giving me my mobility and independence back well by leaving a review. I first got introduced to Epoch from a family member who heard it from the window cleaner. By this point I was struggling with my mobility using crutches and unable to do daily activities and I was becoming less mobile daily. I was a little sceptical at first due to seeing other chiropractors with no improvement but I just had a good feeling so I gave them a call and booked in for my first meeting. As soon as I walked in the door I was made to feel welcome And after my first meeting I thought this was the right place that could help me but was still a little unsure. By the end of my second week of treatment I was able to put my crutches in the cupboard as I no longer needed them and with there help I just continue to go from strength to strength and my mobility improve dramatically but I’m still continuing to go for treatment. As well as working on my mobility they’ve also gave me great information on my general health and one part of it was they said treatment can also improve fertility which yet again I was very sceptical about due to my history but I do believe with EPOCH‘s help I can now say I am the proudest mummy to a happy and healthy baby boy so without Epoch I would not have got my life back so thank you to each and everyone of you for making this possible.

Having suffered from shoulder pain for a number of years, I am extremely grateful to all at Epoch for helping me to identify and take action to help my recovery. From the first moment, everyone has been most professional and friendly and have provided an excellent service. Thank you :)
S. M.
I cannot thank Dr Tom, Sarah and the Epoch Team enough not only for resolving my back injury but also for the preventative maintenance to keep my health on track. With their help I have been able to recently run a Marathon, something which otherwise I believe would not have been possible.
K. B.
Excellent practitioners. Thorough, professional and friendly. The whole team go the extra mile to get to the bottom of your issues and sort them out. I would highly recommend this practice.

I can only echo the other positive reviews left by other members of Epoch. I have been visiting the team for almost 6 weeks to seek help for constant neck pain and tension leading to excruciating headaches. From the moment I arrived to each subsequent session I have attended I have been made to feel so welcomed, valued and taken care of. Working with Dr Lewis to address the issues, he takes time to explain things in a way that is understandable and taking tremendous detail in working with you to find the most suitable care plan. 6 weeks down the line and several adjustments plus home stretching later- my headaches have almost completely gone with the benefits of increased posture and overall improved quality of life. The amount of knowledge covering many topics the team ensure you have, provided through various forums is fantastic. I have recommended their service to several people who have started their own Epoch journey and can only encourage others to do this same.
S. D.
You Will NOT regret it!
This place really has changed my life! I know people say that all the time but I’m only writing review as it’s so deserved! Ex-military & fitness professional my body was broken with 25yrs of damage.
I was in chronic pain which was restricting every day life. I had tried everything down to strong painkillers and alcohol (not recommended). At the end of my tether and in pure desperation I booked an appointment as a final gleam of hope.
Well ……. 3 months later I’m in hardly any pain, my fitness & energy levels are amazing and increasing week on week. I’m sleeping which I haven’t properly for years!
The staff are so friendly, the practice is absolutely spotless. I can’t wait for every session - a place of pure positivity and my fav weekly hangout!!!
Don’t wait do it!!!!!

I started attending appointments at Epoch a couple of years ago after experiencing frequent migraines and neck pain. From the moment I walked into the centre, I felt welcome and after my consultation, any worries I had were gone. The Epoch Team were wonderful and because of the atmosphere in the centre, my appointments quickly became the highlight of my week. This amazing service continues, each and every time I visit the centre.
I feel a drastic improvement in my health which is 100% down to the care I’ve received at Epoch and I cannot speak highly enough of Tom and the rest of the Epoch Team for helping me achieve a better day to day. They are incredible and always go the extra mile to make you feel welcome and valued.

After being diagnosed with Spondylolisthesis from x-rays in the comprehensive initial consultation, I was feeling very anxious and disheartened.
But quickly the results from Tom's work and the given exercises started to show. A few weeks later and my back is so much better. I now am able to sit, stand, walk without any discomfort.
All the staff are lovely. It's been so great to ask Tom any questions each week, and be reassured by the regular examination-visits. Thank you :)

From the minute you get greeted at the door, to the minute you leave you are well looked after by all the team at Epoch! All the staff at Epoch are friendly, knowledgeable, and informative. Since starting my Epoch journey I can't believe how much of a change I can see! When I first started seeing Tom I had a list of complaints ranging from pain in my neck, head, arms, lower back and then other things like anxiety, panic attacks and really bad headaches! But week by week I've noticed little by little, things have got so much better!! I can do alot more without constant pain!!! Honestly the best thing I have ever done! Thank you Epoch 😊
J. T.
Dr Tom and his team are calm, professional and reassuring, making every patient that walks through their doors feel special. After 2 months of treatment my blood pressure has reduced significantly, my energy levels have jumped, and my pain levels reduced. I no longer feel like a worn out lump - and my kids have got their mum back after many years of no energy and pain.
T. C.
After a few months of neck and shoulder pain, I was at my wits end, and decided to try a Chiropractor. As a busy business man, I wanted fast results, but knew there would be time to heal involved.
Initially on the fence about Chiropractic help, I put the time in and invested. Epoch, and specifically Sarah and Tom were brilliant, starting with a cautious full evaluation, including some xrays overlooked by a radiologist, and then a plan was put in place.
Within 1 week I was seeing an improvement, and after 4 weeks of 2 sessions per week, I'm pretty much back to my usual self, with no neck or shoulder pain. I will continue with once a fortnight followups now, and maybe make a visit as part of my regular healthy lifestyle.
The experience at Epoch was very professional, and inviting, with a nice greeting from staff every time I visited, and a relaxed atmosphere.
I would highly recommend Epoch to anyone suffering with spinal, back, neck, shoulder etc. related issues, and to not sit in pain for any longer than they have to.
Thank you Sarah, Tom and staff - a very happy customer.

I visited Tom and the team back in May 2020, all I can say is I should of gone earlier. I Typically left it until my lower neck injury became a big issue for me.
Tom instantly made time for me and assessed my injury, clearly explaining the process I needed to go through and how I may of caused the injury.
Once I started the sessions the pain instantly started to pass, along the way Tom and the team also monitored my progress and gave me an understanding of how better to look after my body.
The information Epoch give you along your journey is second to none, and my recovery has been excellent in more ways than I thought it needed to be.
My course of treatment finished a few months ago now and my outlook on my health and understanding is far superior than before I joined Epoch. Im also injury free and pain free!
Thanks again to all at Epoch!

I've been going to see Tom since September 2020 and it is probably one of the best decisions I've ever made.
You're first invited to an assessment where some very easy and unobtrusive tests are done. Tom then takes the time to explain what could be done to get you back to peak health, not just limited to his own chiropractic care but exercises that can help also. The centre manages to combine an air of relaxed and friendly with very professional. The girls on the front desk are always happy to see you and put any nerves you have to rest. I would and have recommended Epoch to anyone. Go see Tom and the girls. It'll be the best decision you've made for your body and health.

I have been coming to Epoch for nearly 3 years, I have a long term issue which has been debilitating for many years, since having treatment with Tom at Epoch my quality of life has improved massively! I now have maintenance adjustments and I definitely know about it if I miss one. The care facility is warm and welcoming the staff are so friendly and helpful, clients are encouraged (but not forced) to enjoy the weekly blog, they also provide online zoom meetings about various subjects to do with health and wellbeing (these used to be held in the centre but due to the pandemic they have been made available to everyone at home). Recently my daughter has been seeing both Tom and Sarah for treatment on her shoulders which is related to her posture and the results have been amazing! She is in less pain and is standing much straighter! In such a short period of time we were very impressed with her treatment and the outcome so far! I highly recommend Epoch for anyone and everyone, the setting is open plan but still feels private with the addition of wooden screens. My daughter was nervous at first but now she loves it! Epoch has changed my life for the better and I will be ever grateful to all that work there.

I wanted to provide a review from someone who has been receiving treatment from Epoch for over a year.
At the beginning of 2020, I headed to see Tom with some sciatica which had been troubling me and slowly getting worse over the previous months. From the moment I had my first assessment, Tom made everything clear and easy to understand. I started to learn more about how my body connects together and how something misaligned in one area, can cause symptoms somewhere else.
The x-rays and assessment allowed me to see just how bad my posture was at 33. The women in my family tend to end up hunched over by the time they reach their 60s and they have to have hip and knee replacements and I didn't want to find myself in that category.
After over a year, my sciatica is gone and my spin feels loose and mobile in a way it hadn't before. I've had back problems since I was 15 and I'd gotten used to that feeling of my spine being stuck.
Tom and the team are friendly and supportive. I was able to attend sessions even during lockdown and the support and connection was important during that time. I now go on a monthly basis for adjustments and I always look forward to it. I hope to continue my chiropractic care with Epoch for as long as they're practicing.
For the nitty, gritty part... Yes, it is a financial outlay if you want to really be dedicated to getting your health into a better place. It's unlikely you'll go just once or twice because you'll find that there are bigger things at play that have been buildings for years and need time to readjust. The adjustments don't take long and they don't hurt either. The relief and sense of alignment when you leave is perfect. I actually look forward to days when there are lots of cracks during my adjustments.
The approach Epoch takes is a holistic one so be prepared to really look at everything from sleep, mindset, diet and exercise on your road to recovery. It's worth it but make sure you're in the right place to commit and attend a lot of sessions in the beginning.
Overall, I can't speak highly enough for the team at Epoch. They create a positive atmosphere and they bring a lot of happy and supportive energy to the community they support. If you're ready to start your journey with them then I wish you a speedy road to a healthier mind and body.

I can not stress enough how In 4 months of going once a week my health has completely changed for the better, for about 3 years I have struggled with interrupted sleep most nights with either pain in my neck and shoulders and side, Or anxiety, or stress running riot in my head the min I went to bed, trying to function in the day be it training or work or just everyday life ( and I’m going through the menopause) is impossible when you are so fatigued but that’s all changed, I now sleep well most nights, I don’t suffer with any pain, my posture has changed so much, and I feel so much better in myself, it’s been tough at times but so so worth it, I didn’t realise how much the nervous system can affect you when it’s not working right but thanx to Lewis at EPOCH I’m a different person to 4 month ago and realise the importance of looking after your health and I’ll continue to go once a month to keep on top of it
A.
Going to Epoch has been the best investment i've ever made for my physical self. I love every visit, it's like going to see your friends and getting your body transformed all in one. I was a bit shocked to find out what my spine was really going through, but even after just the first adjustment I noticed a remarkable reduction in my pain levels. I'm 14 weeks into treatment now and my pain is barely noticeable anymore and i'm incredibly grateful for it. Coming to Epoch hasn't just been good for my physical health and posture though, it's been great for my energetic awareness, health and capabilities too, one session leaving me with the ability to see auras! Tom's very knowledgeable, open and helpful and I always come away with food for thought or a book or video recommendation. The library Epoch has is a lovely touch too. All of the team who work here are so lovely and so thorough with their care and hospitality, and it's so nice that Tom and Sarah are running this as a partnership too (very excited to start working with Sarah as a chiropractor soon too!), it all makes for the nicest of atmospheres and experiences. The only part of my experience at Epoch that I would change is that i should've started it sooner! I I really would (and do) recommend it to everyone! So much love for these fantastic people.
E. H.
Where do I start! Amazing first impressions as soon as I stepped in. The staff are friendly, Tom is great for explaining things and giving insights to how I can manage more at home, as well as during the treatments. I haven't had the best of time in the last few years and feel this has massively helped me, with not only improving my posture, but generally how I feel daily. The pain management for my back is improving and feel I don't need to rely on medication as much. There are also very helpful emails that I am subscribed too, that also give good top tips on various things, as well as the Facebook page. All the staff are approachable and so nice and keep good conversation. It is something I had thought about trying for years and I am so happy that I did and to see the results as well is even better. If I could give more then 5 stars then I certainly would. Thank you Epoch team!

Epoch - I think I’m going to find it hard to put into words the difference my chiropractor and the Epoch family have made to my life. If you are thinking of visiting because of a pain/niggle then I can tell you every Penny you invest you will receive back in abundance in your health, mindset, focus and general well-being. The team/family embody “humanistic care” they create a welcoming community environment before we even get to their level of knowledge and expertise in your body, pain, condition. I honestly can say this practise shapes the future of how healthcare should look because they put ‘care’ into everything they do. You are not treated like a patient but an individual. They take time to get to know you to find out the ways in which you can be supported to live a happier, healthier and more agile life. Thank you to John my incredible Chiropractor and all of the amazing team. You all make such a difference.
K. A.
Recommended to Epoch by my brother. Very glad I was. Came to see them with a trapped nerve in my neck causing radiating pain down my right arm. One treatment has given me a lot of relief from symptoms.
After going round and round with chiropractors and physiotherapists for years I finally have confidence in Epoch - they take x-rays and do a thorough evaluation before hand to eliminate guess work. For the first time in years, I know what we are dealing with which gives me motivation to move forward.
I know relief from the symptoms won’t be permanent at this stage but I am looking forward to a good night’s sleep tonight for the first time in weeks.
Thank you to Lewis @ Epoch and see you all soon.

My wife and I continue to enjoy vastly improved health through Tom and Sarah’s amazing work. More importantly, both our children, Alex (14) and Alfie (11) are also making great health and posture gains through their own individual treatments. At their initial consultation, with us as chaperone’s, both children felt very included. Tom discussed various methods of treatment to be used, promoting health in a manner whereby children not only understand, but are able to fully engage with. Both enjoy the friendly atmosphere, treatments, practice layout and approachable chats with all members of Epoch. After each visit, both Alex and Alfie noticeably look and feel better, continuing to look forward to receiving phone calls and emails enquiring after their well-being from Tom and Sarah. Our whole family are benefiting from truly wonderful care.

Our little boy didn't have the easiest start due to a difficult delivery. Since he was born he would spend most of the day screaming and so unsettled. As new parents this was extremely upsetting, the GP gave us a potential CMPA diagnosis, silent reflux/ reflux and colic. We tried all the drops and medicines you could think off but nothing seemed to work and we were told endless time babies cry he will grow out of it. Dr Tom and EPOCH was recommended to us, we wanted to try anything to make our little boy better. However as we had never heard of this type of treatment for babies we were very sceptical. We went along to the consultation, Dr Tom and all the staff at EPOCH were so friendly and welcoming. The consultation was very relaxed and we couldnt believe how knowledgeable Dr Tom was. We didn't even need time to think about it and booked our treatment in the same day. After 4 weeks of treatment we can't believe the transformation in our little boy and we couldnt recommend Dr Tom and Epoch enough. Our only regret is that we didn't explore this sooner and wouldn't hesitate to use them in the future.

Having suffered from lower back pain for years I finally made the decision to do something about it and DrTom was highly recommended to me. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. The Epoch team are just amazing. From that initial assessment to diagnose the problem, followed by a few months of regular adjustments has now made me totally pain free ! I’d also say my general health has much improved - less headaches and better digestion. I really feel revitalised so thank you so much to Dr Tom and his fantastic team.
C. J.
I'm going to start with the cons and then progress onto the positives. The cons are: it requires an investment of time and money. The pros: I've gone from having some level of back pain constantly to a few minor twinges in the last 4 months, I have improved in so many ways I didn't expect. The atmosphere is lovely, I look forward to my visits as I always leave feeling better than I arrived. I'm very pleased to say I convinced my parents to visit and they are having their own regular adjustments.

I couldn't be happier with the service provided by Epoch. Dr. Waller was very professional and friendly on each visit to the practice as were the rest of the staff. I was always greeted with a smile and some friendly conversation by all members of the team. I consistently felt like I was in good hands and that the team were genuinely interested in the improvement and maintenance of my welfare. I saw very rapid results from my treatment which I couldn't be more pleased with. On hearing about my move to Finland Dr Waller very kindly offered to help me find contact details for a chiropractor there to continue my treatment. All in all I couldn't find a complaint to make about the service if I tried to think of one. Again very happy with the entire experience!
M. D.
I have been coming to epoch for nearly three years and in the time Dr Tom Waller has allowed me to heal at an amazing rate. I spent months before going through physiotherapy only to have no tangible results of improvement, however since attending Epoch my back has managed to make grand leaps to correct itself thanks to Tom and the team.
Tom provides an easy understanding and an educational environment for all patients so you have a full understanding of what corrections need to take place as a TEAM, so you feel like you can take your health into your own hands while still having a professional to push you in the right direction.
While the team provide a warm friendly environment that make you enjoy every visit and for the short time your in the building you can relax and enjoy your treatment. From the friendly greetings, to the weekly email updates, they show they really care about the customer.
Epoch has allowed me to have experience that I wouldn’t of been able to have if it wasn’t for their help and support to heal my back, I would highly recommend to anybody who is suffering or is wanting to improve not just your physical health but mental as well.
S. T.
Thank you so much Tom and team what a lovely welcoming place !!! I finally had answers after so many failed doctor appointments ! Finally after years of pain, Tom was able to tell me exactly what the problems were! Even after a few aliments I noticed a huge difference! No more headaches!!!! A year on and still good no headaches and nerve pain gone!! Finally someone that listens , Tom you are amazing at what you do and carry on fixing people! Thankyou so much!!!! 10/10 xxx

From the moment I came to Epoch the service given by Tom and his staff has been second to none. They are friendly and caring to you as a person as well as being very professional towards why you are there and your needs etc. The care given from my initial assessment to my subsequent treatment has been exceptional and very detailed. The process has been very relaxed where the environment really allows you to buy into what treatment you are having in an open, calming educational setting. I have needed work done on my body for a number of years and within a matter of weeks the adjustments that Tom has made have made me feel both physically and mentally better. Tom is very concise and thorough in what he does and makes you feel at ease at all times. I could not recommend Tom and the Epoch Centre more highly and cannot believe the results I have achieved after such a short amount of time.

Why chiropractic? Neither of us was really sure what a chiropractor did – an osteopath for the spine would have been our best guess. Nothing to do with dermatitis, certainly, which was the over-riding problem when we first decided to find out more. Having read some of the reviews, which seemed to indicate that there was much more to it than this, I went in and talked to members of the Epoch team who suggested we attend one of Dr Tom Waller’s introductory talks.
The talk made it very clear that Tom takes an holistic approach to treatment which we both welcomed. In addition we began to understand what an impact chiropractic adjustments can have on overall health, so an assessment was booked and treatment began. We also took on board Tom’s recommendations regarding nutrition and supplements and together with the adjustments this encouraged the body to move into the best state for healing. Peter has never looked back - he is standing much straighter than he was, he is back to the weight he was in his 20s and feels fit and well as a result. His dermatitis has, at last, calmed (acupuncture and some puva treatment helped). My treatment started later and I have to say that the tension that I used to carry in my neck and shoulders has eased considerably. In addition I am very glad to say that sleepless nights, which used to be a regular occurrence, are now a rarity! Thank you Epoch.
The dietary advice has now become a part of everyday life, so much so that we no longer have dairy or wheat products in the house and have to remind ourselves to buy ‘normal’ stuff when we have visitors.
In terms of health and fitness going to Epoch is, without doubt, the best investment we have made.
C. T.
Do you know, I never thought I would be sat here writing this. I thought the way I moved and the discomfort I was in was now for the rest of my life. How wrong I was, I had known people going to Epoch but not really given it much thought, until just after the lockdown I made contact had a hassle free initial consultation advised on a treatment plan, which I decided to take up how pleased I am that I did. If I tell you that before my adjustments my neck didn't move independently, I used to wake up every day with a headache and would literally roll out of bed not get up.
I am now 12 adjustments in and today I had my first review without the stats I know i really have noticed a massive difference in myself the stats support this. I feel the best I have felt in a long time.
I can now get out of bed!!! never wake up with a headache and move my neck without my shoulders moving, which has also supported a happy mind as well as happier body.
The staff are super amazing they are so supportive will help with anything they can.
They take the time to know everyone in person and by first name they always have so much time for you. Tom puts you massively at ease and is really easy to trust he loves his job and you can tell, they are the best group of people thank you so much for supporting me to get my mobility freedom back ❤

We took our 8 week old to see Tom and the team due to suffering with colic, digestive issues and being extremely unsettled. After the initial meeting Tom explained that he had a trapped nerve in his neck due to how he was pulled out during his birth. He explained in detail what this was effecting which included his suck reflex and his bodies ability to digest properly. Along with everything else, this was causing him to take in air and not allowing his body to get rid of it, causing him pain. We immediately set up weekly appointments and the change has been amazing, it's like we've got a different baby, he is so happy, settled, sleeping and eating better and it has honestly changed our lives! I was a bit apprehensive about taking him in the beginning as everything I had seen about chiropractic care looked quite aggressive but Tom was so gentle and my little boy just got a lovely little massage each time, it was completely different from how adults are treated. Our appointments were mostly spent with my son cooing and smiling at Tom so I had no doubt that he was enjoying it. I would (and have) recommended Tom and chiropractic care to any parent who's little one is suffering, it will make such a difference.

Admittedly i was sceptical to start with and after 2 years of back pain i thought it was something that I just had to learn to live with..... Today I had my first progress exam after my 4th week of Chiropractic care; i am amazed at the results achieved in such a short timeframe. The pain in my lower back has significantly reduced; I'm sleeping better; there's visible improvement to my posture and even my heart rate variability has improved. The team at Epoch are fantastic, they are welcoming, informative and well organised (with COVID protocol in place and adhered to). Thank you Dr. Tom, and the Epoch team for the professional care and advice that is making such a positive impact; my only regret is that I didn't start treatment sooner. xx
C. M.
I can’t recommend Dr Tom and his Epoch team highly enough. I first attended with neck, shoulder and back pain that I had been suffering from for many years. After just 4 weeks into my treatment plan I am already free of lower back pain and have seen significant improvements in all areas, this has had such a positive impact on my daily life and overall wellbeing. Epoch is much more than just a Chiropractic clinic, it’s a family and a happy positive place where I know I’m in safe hands.
I love their holistic approach and infectious passion, they genuinely do care about you, your health and overall wellbeing.
I urge you to See Dr Tom if you suffer from pain or discomfort, your life could be about to change for the better!

Game changer
I don’t often write reviews; typically like most people (perhaps)only when things are either brilliant or the opposite.
I first went to Epoch regarding pain following Sciatica, and also some issues I’ve experienced after pregnancy with my pelvis. From the minute I walked onto their premises I felt at ease, the staff are so welcoming and a pleasure to be around. Tom undertook an review of exactly what was causing me issues and went to work in resolving my issues. I’m pleased to say within the first couple of treatments I felt so much better and on the road to recovery. I have so much more energy and my body within itself just feels all round balanced. Before going to Epoch- I felt at a loss at how to ‘ fix’ the issues I was having. It felt like I had a lot of little niggles in different areas of my body. Through Tom’s extensive expertise he knows exactly what to do and what to tackle each time.
I also have to mention how mentally it has also changed my mindset. I not only feel proactive in taking control of my health but I really do look forward to seeing my sessions. I feel so much better afterwards and with the environment being so chilled I really feel less stressed afterwards. I never thought a chiropractor could do that quite honestly ..!
If you want a chiropractor who is on top of his game, with a calming influence and an excellent playlist to boot- look no further, give these guys a shot. You will not regret it.
A. T.
This is my 3rd attempt at Chiropractic care, and certainly the best experience.
The process is much clearer, explaining all of the reasons why following the process will work.
Inside the clinic is lovely relaxed environment. And after the initial consultation you will attend an open plan clinic, and you’re adjusted without having to have the usual pointless “mark yourself out of 10 ritual” and without having to put on that strange open back gown !
Dr Tom and his team are all genuinely nice people who look after you from the moment you step through the door !
On a more personal note, Dr Tom is the 3rd person to adjust my neck and the only chiropractor who’s done it where I’m happy to return back to, after previously not going back again or declining the adjustment altogether.
Highly recommended this Chiropractic clinic.
J. W.
I have lived with back and neck pain for many years mainly due to my career as a nurse, when we “lifted” patients without batting an eyelid!
So for at least 25 years!
After an extreme bout of sciatica this year, I knew I had to do something as I just wanted to feel well again, play with my grandchildren and enjoy my future retirement.
I am now 7 weeks into my program with Epoch and I can truly say the whole process is amazing.
Dr Tom and his team are true gems, from the moment you walk through the door you are made to feel special. The atmosphere is calming and friendly and each time you walk out you feel enlifted and wonderful!
Many people have asked me if the treatment hurts, no it doesn’t, who would believe your body could make so many clicks 😃.
In the 7 weeks I have been receiving treatment I can now walk further, bend down to put my shoes on, cut my toe nails etc. I no longer have lasting numbness in my leg every time I do a 13 hour shift at work and now only experience it occasionally for a few mins. I feel straighter and I know my posture is slowly improving.
You do get the odd twinge but your body is adjusting to the new you and needs to heal.
Epoch helps you to change your THOUGHTS to your body, helps you to understand that TOXINS you put into your body can do you harm.
This holistic approach to your health is amazing and it Works.
I can highly recommend this wonderful team to help you to help yourself get a better life.

Simply the best decision I ever made was to take up the new patient experience that Tom And Sarah did over 4 years ago at witham St Hughes. Thanks to Tom and his outstanding professional care and expertise, I am able to do so much more than I used to be able to. I no longer suffer with the back pain and inability to do things that I did. Only wish that they had moved to Lincoln before. Thanks Tom Sarah and team for being such caring people.

In April 2008 I was involved in a car accident and so my neck issues started then and despite physio treatment for a few months after the accident, the pain and stiffness in my neck and right shoulder became worse. 10 years later besides the initial symptoms I started having pain in my upper to mid back making it impossible to sit for any longer than 30 minutes at a time which made it difficult with working from home. So a friend suggested I visit Dr. Tom. After 2 weeks (6 chiropractic adjustments) the back pain was gone! He recommended 6 months of treatment but for personal reasons I was only able to complete 3. My neck and shoulder pain and stiffness improved dramatically - I was no longer scared to exercise and hit the gym for fear I would aggravate things.
Dr. Tom’s experience in treating different people from babies to older ones put me at ease. I also appreciated the fact that he allows you to make an informed decision before initiating treatment. In my very first visit he examined me and although I was visibly in pain and desperately wanted him to do something about it he would not do so until after analysing the results of the examination - needless to say I was impressed by it - very professional.
I was rather impressed with the Epoch family: the girls were welcoming, helpful and kind, making me feel part of the family almost immediately; the environment is calming and inviting; Dr. Tom is caring, patient, understanding and gentle. I have recommended Epoch Lincoln to others and will continue to do so.

Helped massively with back pain following a motorcycle accident. Gone from days off work to moving how I did before the accident. I mainly have Dr Tom or Dr. John for treatment, who are both wizards. A big thanks to all the staff, too. Customer service is exceptional.

I have had back and neck issues for years, a friend recommended Tom and his team. I live in Leeds and made the journey to have myself checked out. He has a very gently manner about him and he put me at ease. After the consultation he did the necessary x-rays (which no one ever suggested to do) and gave me my results which showed I have areas that need work. He suggested someone closer to me which he didn't have to do. Overall I was extremely happy with the service, the investigation work of what I was saying, the time they put into hearing what my issues were. I would 100% recommend Tom and him team. Thank you again, Resh x

I had seen Epoch on Facebook and I was interested in attending as I have had back issues for about 7yrs, which has progressed to being more severe in the last 2yrs where I can’t walk far and the pain was constant - I have an administration job so I sit down all day at a desk.
I had been to my Drs to seek medical treatment but nothing really progressed from being given tablets to ease pain - I then attended a physiotherapist, as the pain was getting more severe - I then waited on the NHS referral list for months until I managed to be referred back to the physio - I had several treatments before being told to exercise more and was signed off and told to return to my Dr after 3mths to see what they could do. With the pain I was in, more exercise was impossible!
I then saw Epoch we’re having a posture check and decided to attend as I knew my whole balance and stance were not right.
The posture check showed I was very off balance and Dr Tom was adamant something could be done for me! At this point I was at the end of my tether and had no clue what I could do to improve my health and wellbeing due to the pain I was in! I felt like I was listened too when visiting the clinic and that’s all the staff have all been very understanding and I have felt that my care was a priority when attending each and every appointment.
I then returned to Epoch for further investigation which included x-rays and various tests to see what my issues were and to see what could be done - this is a very thorough process and at the end, for the first time in about a year and a half, I felt like someone was listening and totally willing to help me!
I then started a full month of adjustments in February 2020, as an intense treatment plan - which involved
3 sessions a week of adjustments, with a final session to check how the treatment is working for me with nearly all the same tests I had when I first attended. The re-tests I have had, show improvement overall including both posture and balance.
I can honestly say I feel so much better from the treatments I have - I can walk better and I feel my balance has vastly improved and although I may have days of pain this is far less horrific than it was.
I have discovered part of my pain is also related to my neck so I have had to adjust how I sleep and also my phone usage - this means not looking downward at my phone and trying to look at things at eye level!
My sleep pattern has also improved and I feel better overall - I am still attending but 2 sessions a week and I can honestly say it is a highlight of my week as I do feel some relief after each treatment.
I can’t recommend Epoch enough, if I had not attended, I honestly do now know where I would be now and it’s all thanks to Dr Tom and his team that both my physical and mental health is continuing to improve.
C. T.
I love this place! So friendly, nice environment and most of all my posture, which I never thought would change, has improved! I definitely stand straighter and notice this when I’m walking. Really thorough examination when I joined and follow up progress exam showing exactly what has changed. Also great tips sent which are useful. Sarah has called me out of hours to check I’m doing ok with adjustments which is great! 100% recommend!
l. m.
Wow what a positive EPOCH experience I am having. After suffering with agonising back and leg pain for years and having NHS and private physio and Bowen massage therapy, I can honestly say I am feeling very hopeful that I will soon be feeling fully fit and active. I am in early stages of my treatment but are already feeling and seeing the benefits after every adjustment Tom gives me. Tom and his team offer a caring and holistic approach. I enjoy every visit to the centre, the team are so friendly and the environment is calming.
My only regret is that I had not met Tom and his team sooner.
L. C.
Epoch certainly understanding customer service they engage with every single client from the moment you walk through the door with friendly meaningful conversation. The practice is always clean, covid safe and very welcoming. Tom is clearly knowledgeable, he gives lots of pratical advice and I'm already seeing results halfway through my treatment. I'd highly recommend Epoch as your local chiropractor and also recommend you check out their blog and social channels for resources that help improve your all round well being.
A. L.
I saw Tom and the team where he took xrays of my spine- amongst other investigations- and i found out that my spine was twisting! I couldn't believe it, I was genuinely shocked!
Ive always been very active and fit and I thought that I had a good posture-people usually complement me on it too!
My twisted spine was the reason i was suffering from lower back pain and it accumulated from one of my vertebrates being out of alignment by only millimetres starting from my neck - where i had 2 slipped disks!
I'm glad i went to Epoch as Ive suffered from slipped disks in my neck for over 10 years as well as lower back pain. The reason my back was so sore for so long wasn't because of my slipped disks or twisted spine, but because i did nothing about it for so long. It just got worse and worse. I dread to think what would happen if i never saw Tom and the rest of the team!
If you're thinking about going to a chiropractor but you're not sure about it, understand that if you've suffered from lower back pain for a considerable amount of time and you've done nothing about it, nothing will ever get better!
After my 12 session review I couldnt believe how much I've improved and in so little time! I've had chiropractor treatment for about 5 months now and I'm getting better all the time!
I consider my health to be a top priority and you can never put a price on it!!
A. R.
About two years ago this Chiropractor did not just gave me back painfree movements, he also gave solid advise on other 'body' stress factors I.e food habits, medication. Since puberty I have suffered with painful irregular monthly cycles, the care Tom and his team provide make this condition now very manageable and some months even pain free.
L. R.
After having 5 compression fractures in my middle and lower spine in 2017 I was in huge amounts of pain!
I was recommended to Epoch by a close friend who's whole family including their 4 year old daughter all have adjustments at Epoch, I decided to give it a try.
When I first visited Epoch, I couldn't walk for more than 15 minute without having to sit down or even take some form of pain relief medication.
Within 3 months of starting care at Epoch, I went to Florida for a family holiday and walked 110 miles in 2 weeks around Disney World and other theme parks.
In the new patient experience, they also discovered that my neck was almost straight and my posture was all out of line.
I can't recommend this place enough, the team are friendly and helpful, and Dr Tom is very caring and professional. He really does know what he's doing!
I was nervous when I first visited as I had never had a chiropractic adjustment, but i soon realised there was nothing to worry about and as Dr Tom said "He's not feeling around in the dark for a light switch"
He know's exactly what he's doing, and if you are nervous about it, just go for an assessment or go in and ask questions. the team are more than happy to answer and help in any way they can. Your mind will soon be put at rest just as mine was.
1 year later, I am mostly pain free and my posture is so much better. The curvature in my neck is returning to normal and I am happier in general.
I continue to go every 2 weeks to have my spine aligned and I will for the rest of my life.
Visiting Epoch really was one of the best decisions of my life.
O. P.
I am very happy that I found this practice and chiropractic Tom. He helped me a lot. In 6 week time he did an amazing job, I never thought that someone will be able to help me. I feel so much better, I can do so much more at home as well. I recommend to everyone who has any back problems to go to practice Epoch Lincoln. You will meet so amazing people. They will make sure you feel like at home. Thank you very much.
J. N.
After years of back pain, I became pain free over the course of a few weeks. Extremely professional and personable service. Thank you!
G. M.
Life changing! After a year of being in crippling pain, Tom and his healing hands have brought hope back to life. Very professional! Everyone is very warm and welcoming, from the moment you step in the building. Could not of asked for better treatment!! No messing around I’ve told everyone I know and everyone I meet to go! I look forward to going to each appointment.

After many years of suffering with lower back and coccyx pain, I decided to try Chiropractic. My GP only prescribed me painkillers every time I went to see him and it didn't help. On my Initial visit and on seeing my posture picture, I quickly realised how lob-sided and bent my posture was. I also discovered that my balance was poor due to the subluxations in my spine.
I noticed a real difference from my first adjustment with Dr. Tom and after my first progress exam, my posture was a lot straighter and my shoulders weren't so lob-sided. My back pain had also subsided, it was a miracle to be able to do the things that my pain had stopped me from doing before.
All the girls at the centre are fantastic and they make you feel welcome as soon as you enter and all the team are so encouraging.
Choosing to have Chiropractic was one of the best decisions I have made.
Thank you all at Epoch
C. G.
Epoch were recommended to me by a family member who had a very positive experience. Complex issues with my leg and foot were at a point where my GP had nothing more to offer apart from continued drugs to mask the pain which unfortunately brought their own side effects. I was so fed up with the situation.
Epoch have explored the root cause of the problem and I have felt relieved to make significant improvements whilst under their care. It has made me feel so much happier in myself as I am moving around noticeably more easily.
The staff are really friendly, very attentive and Dr Tom really knows his craft.
J. M.
Where do I start with my journey, when i first heard about Dr Tom and Epoch , I'll admit, my neck problem was so chronic i did think "im not so sure" . However, i booked an appointment for a full assessment and attended the orientation and straight away i knew i was in good hands. At Epoch, its not just all about a quick adjustment then thats it, its the whole of your lifestyle and overall physical and emotional health that the team genuinely care aboutt. Tom and the team are always posting helpful exercises for breathing and a whole lot of information on social media. There really is no excuse not to feel the best you can. Im nearly at the end of my second round of treatment. I know i will always go for maintenance because i really dont want to get in that chronic state again. I have taken control of my life back with the help of Tom and Thank-you seems so inadequate. Epoch is more than a Chiropractors, Epoch helps you change your life, so, if you are in pain, cant do the things you love. Make the call, make thst appointment. The only rhing you have to loose is pain.
N. A.
Tom and Sarah have really worked their magic with me! Going in, my body was in constant pain and after just a few weeks of adjustments I have felt and seen a huge difference in myself!
Thank you all for helping me so much, I highly recommend Epoch for any discomfort, pain or just generally a lifestyle change :)
N. M.
I’ve just had my progress report and I’m over the moon at the visible change in my posture.
I had forgotten how I used to hold myself, chiropractic care has taken years off me 😊!
I’m now pain free, walking with an improved posture and have free movement in my neck.
A big thank you to Tom and his lovely team who always give a warm welcome and great service.
I highly recommend Epoch!
b. m.
From the first visit I was made to feel welcome and every member of staff knew who I was making the whole experience feel very personal. The staff are incredible! I have made great progress since my first visit and it's motivated me to make some lifestyle changes too which support this chiropractic journey and ensure that I make the most out of it. Massive thanks to Tom and team for helping me to want to help myself and for your incredible work! I would shout EPOCH from the rooftops! 'Never fear the shadows, it simply means there's a light shining somewhere' anon. Epoch you were my light.
M. D.
Friendly welcome. Honest assessment, the first x-ray and scan for thirty years! I have a longstanding back problem caused by a mining accident. Initial treatment at Harlow Wood Hospital was excellent. GP If you have further problems up the dose of your pills, doesn't solve anything.
I was brutally honest with Tom all I expected was a little pain relief because I know how damaged my spine is.
I have had some adjustments and now I am not taking any medication. The advice to help my posture has been spot on.
It is not a permanent cure in my case. I will need maintenance more or less for the rest of my life. The quality of my life is improving. It's not a magic bullet. You have to work with Tom to see any benefit.
I went on a suck it and see basis and I have benefited. You are in control of the process at least try it out.
D. H.
My experience at Epoch has been amazing and I would like to share this with you.
After having surgery on my knee I was in constant pain for 18 month and had difficulty walking for any distance with the pain.
I was recommended to try Epoch and to be fair I did not give it much hope. I was totally wrong.
After my first 3 adjustments I was pain free, my balance much improved, I was sleeping better and my body felt much calmer. Within a couple of months I was back enjoying my walking holidays, gardening and cycling.
Dr Tom is amazing and understanding and I cannot thank him enough, the staff are amazing too and always so cheerful and chatty even at 7.30 am!
Epoch is a nice relaxed enviroment and I wholeheartly recommended them.
One very Happy Bunny! Thank you
J. G.
After years of neck, back and hip pain - and a variety of treatments - I visited Epoch following a recommendation; sceptical of what they might be able to do. I’m now 5 months into a 12 month treatment plan, feeling positive about the progress I’ve made and grateful for the ongoing support - from not just Tom - but the wider team.
C. W.
I have been seeing Tom at Epoch since the beginning of June. When i first went i was taking quite a lot of tablets each day for pain in my feet, but I have managed to start cutting down on the dosage.The pain has not gone yet but I am still seeing Tom. I can now sleep on my back, which I haven’t been able to do for years since I had an operation on my upper spine.Everyone who works at Epoch makes you feel so much better as soon as you walk through the door, always smiling, they remember everyone’s name and ask how you are and offer you a drink . A great team
A. T.
So before I started with epoch I wasn't in a very good mental state depression and full of enxiaty.
I 1st saw and heard about epoch on one of there promotions at tesco's and was very fascinated with what my body was like so I had my free demo and got a voucher to join them. I paid for the first round of sessions and that's when things started to change in my life, Dr Tom was my chiropractor and thoroughly enjoyed his enthusiasm and uplifting it help me think of how I wanted to progress in myself as I got over my addiction of fizzy drinks and started to drink loads of water and accually lost wait because of it.
I felt a lot more confident in myself once I new my body was getting adjusted right which helped with my mind getting to a place where every visit was a very happy uplifting visit. I want to thank there amazing team for happily talking with me and being there happy selves and I fully recommend everyone coming here to improve there body and mental wellbeing.
Thank you Dr Tom for being there to help me to the stage im at now.
J. B.
I had been having a constant niggling ache in my back for quite some time, when I came across an ad for Epoch for a new patient appointment. I had a look online to see what they do and where to find them and decided to go to the Orientation evening to learn more.
The things Tom was telling us made sense and provided me with knowledge to make the changes to start feeling better in myself. I book my appointment and had assessment and was suprised to see the problems I had .I have been having adjustments for 3 weeks and can see an improvement, so 1 more week, then I will find out what's happening , really looking forward to finding out
what progress I have made with the help of Tom and his wonderful team .

I really didn't know what to expect when I first made an appointment at Epoch . I can honestly say that his has been the best thing that I have done for myself in a very long time. All of the staff are so welcoming and it is such a calm space to visit. The positive effect on my mental wellbeing as well as my physical is remarkable I can't recommend Dr Tom enough :-)

Before coming to Epoch I battled with constant lower back spasms which was getting me really down as it was stopping me from my work and sporting activities. Dr Tom and his staff made me feel very welcome as soon as I walked through the door. The attention to detail is second to none and I'm pleased to say that I have been spasm free for the last two months since coming to Epoch which has made made a huge difference in my life. Couldn't recommend Epoch enough.

I have been having treatment for a shoulder problem now for a few months. The shoulder is back to normal and l have found that other health problems l was suffering from have also improved. I would definitely recommend going for Chiropractor treatment. The team at the Epoch practice are really friendly and care about improving your health. Tom is excellent and goes through each part of your treatment with you. Thank you to all the team. Judith

I've been attending for two years now it has helped with my flare-ups of fibromyalgia both amount and intensity. The team are always lovely and brilliant. 100% Recommend.

I started my journey with Epoch in February 2018 during a particularly bad recurrence of the intermittent back pain that has blighted my life for nearly 60 years. I didn’t expect an overnight cure-all, but over the duration of my first course of intensive treatment the improvement was obvious. My quality of life was changing for the better so I signed up for a further course of treatment. As time went on I found that the good times far exceeded the bad and I could do more of the things that I enjoyed like badminton and walking. I was virtually pain free for the most part and life was very different.
So you might ask, if I am pain free, why do I continue to visit Epoch 21 months on? There are 2 reasons for that, the first being that I’m afraid I might revert back to the way things were before. After 18 months, things were going so well that I cut down my weekly visits to fortnightly; big mistake! After 2 months I was feeling the lack of my weekly top ups as the discomfort started to become apparent once again and I am now back on my essential weekly adjustments. There has been no better wake-up call than this and I won’t be doing that again! It’s weekly for me from now on and the benefits of chiropractic have been proved to me beyond all doubt.
The second reason I keep going to Epoch is quite simply that I enjoy my visits which have become a regular part of my life and routine. Dr Tom and his team are always so welcoming and friendly; I feel valued and not just a patient. Through Tom’s monthly talks I have learnt that my health and well being are not just down to them and they have given me the tools and the knowledge to improve things for myself. Epoch is not just a medical practice, it’s a community of likeminded people and through the group activities I have met and made new friends.
I cannot recommend Epoch highly enough, but my one fear is that they will get so popular there won’t be room for me!!

Epoch Lincoln has changed my life in more ways than one. I have suffered back problems since being a teenager and after a particularly bad episode back in February, it was suggested to me that I should visit Dr Tom at Epoch and I haven't looked back since. I can happily do things now that I couldn't even think about attempting before and I can stand up straight for the first time since I can't remember when. No more walking around with a tens machine stuffed into my pocket to dull the pain on days out and no more carrying a folding chair with me when I go to watch my grandsons' football matches.
Not only that, Tom's wholistic approach to health in general and his advice have helped me to address the mental and emotional issues that have prevailed since the death of my husband nearly 4 years ago. With his active encouragement and assistance, I have been able to seek the help that I needed and can now face the future with a much more positive and confident outlook on life.
The free monthly talks are both interesting and informative and I would recommend them to anyone of all ages. Epoch has become a part of my life and I thank Tom and the lovely Epoch Team for making my weekly visits so enjoyable.
S. C.
Tom and his staff are amazing they've helped me get a better posture and to completely stop the pain in my shoulders and tip of neck. I've recently had a knee replacement but have still been attending my weekly adjustments which I do believe is helping with my recovery. Highly recommend them. 😁😁

I went to Epoch after suffering years of pain due to degenerative disc disorder. This caused sciatica which gave me sleepless nights and pain and my feet to go dead when walking too far, sitting for too long and also when doing a full day at work. I also suffered with really bad headaches and pain in my neck and shoulders which I just put down to getting older and all the other problems that come with it. I went for the consultation and Tom and his team were fantastic. They were so friendly and understanding. I had the examinations and it was a real eye opener! I was shocked too see the results to say the least, but Tom said he was certain he could help me. I chose to go for a pre payment platinum plan and on my first appointment was so nervous! I thought I hate pain! What if it hurts ? What if it doesn't work after spending the money? I was really thinking I was probably wasting my time, after all I had already had physio and acupuncture and neither of these have me any relief! Anyway I went with it and told Tom I was nervous and he was fantastic! He said I had nothing to be nervous about and after the first adjustment I was amazed! It didn't hurt at all! I got up and instantly felt a difference! I felt like my shoulders had dropped and that I was taller, if that makes sense? Tom said I would have the best nights sleep I have had in ages! I thought...ye right we will see. He was so right! For the first time in years I didn't wake up in pain! I did wake up a couple of times but I genuinely believe that was just down to habit as I had been waking so often for an long! Anyway I was seen 3 times a week for 4 weeks and in the first week Tom said my body was responding really well and I was making fantastic progress. I had my 4 week review this week and the difference was amazing! I had noticed obviously I wasn't waking in pain anymore and that I was no longer getting the dead feeling in my feet , but when I sat filling the form in before my examination I realised I wasn't feeling the tension in my neck and shoulders or getting the really bad headaches anymore either! I had had headaches but they weren't anywhere near as bad as I had before. Tom did my examination and the results were brilliant... My posture had improved, and my body alignment was near enough perfect compared to before. My nerves are starting to repair themselves and that's why I am no longer feeling the dead sensation in my feet. I am now down to attending twice a week and am looking forward to seeing the next results in 4 weeks time! I am trying to help myself too by doing the exercise at home that Tom gave me ( if you can call laying on a roller up towel and relaxing a exercise!) and by drinking more water and trying to eat healthier as from the information given at epoch I know this will all help in my recovery.
I couldn't be happier with my treatment and am so pleased Epoch decided to bring their services to Lincoln or I could just be putting it all down to old age and it really isn't! I can't recommend these people enough!
Thank you Tom and the team for helping me on the road to a better life! You really are amazing.

It's not an overstatement to say that going to Dr Tom at Epoch has changed my life.
I had been in chronic pain for the last 5 years due to a sports injury which caused a labral tear in my hip. It took a few years to get the correct diagnosis and I tried everything to become pain free (total rest, gentle exercise, Pilates, Physio etc etc), but nothing helped.
I went to see a Hip Specialist who couldn't offer any solution at all and implied that perhaps I was "overdoing things". At this point I had given up all sports and even walking very far and could just about do the stuff that needs to be done when you have a family to look after. Getting in and out of the car and walking up the stairs was a challenge.
I asked the Hip Specialist if the only way to become pain free was a total hip replacement (which at the age of 49 seemed a drastic solution), and he said yes.
Throughout the last 5 years I spent hours researching ways of becoming pain free, and the only thing left that I hadn't tried was Chiropractic adjustments.
Like many other people I associated Chiropractic treatments with neck and back pain, and was not aware that it could help with pain in other areas. I had nothing to lose at this point and felt a bit sceptical, but making the initial appointment for the Assessment with Dr Tom is the best decision I have ever made for my health.
Not only is the hip pain gone, but I feel so well overall!
Thank you so much Dr Tom and your incredible Team. x

Tom sets your back and your mood straight! Tom provides excellent care, providing you with options and advise on how to improve your well-being and he is full of joy and positivity. My posture, headaches and muscular pain have improved over the course of our adjustments.
J. L.
Before I started my correction treatment plan, I had a poor posture and bad balance along with bad lower back. 24 weeks into my treatments there has been a big change all round with my health and flexibility! Great friendly service and very helpful with advice and tips for outside of the chiropractors. Highly recommendable.

I live on Hartsholme and shop at the Birchwood Shopping Centre and had noticed that a new chiropractic centre had been opened.
I was suffering with a great amount of stress in my life ,living on strong painkillers which made me muzzy headed ,I wasn't sleeping at night was lucky to get 2 or 3 hours .The pain in my neck ,shoulders and back was almost unbearable and was making me very miserable.
I looked up Epoch on google and decided to e- mail Sarah to see if they could help me .She invited me to an orientation evening which explained what chiropractic was all about and it was where I met Tom .
As I sat there listening to Tom who spoke so passionately about being a chiropractor and watching the video , I knew straight away that he would be able to help me.
I had my assessment , Tom took x rays and scans of my neck and spine and the results told the story of why I was in so much pain and discomfort.
Tom told me that he could help me
I almost cried with relief.He sorted out a plan of treatment for me and my chiropractic journey began.
I have been having 3 adjustments a week for the last 4 weeks and the results have been amazing.
I am sleeping through the night for the first time in months.
I used to have headaches daily , I can't remember the last time I had one.
My posture has improved no end and I find myself readjusting myself throughout my day.
I hardly need to take painkillers anymore.
I FEEL AMAZING
I really can't praise Tom and Sarah highly enough they really care about their patients chiropractic journeys they are friendly and welcoming and excellent in what they do.
They take great pleasure in watching the change in their patients demeaner as they go on their chiropractic journey.
I am now having 2 adjustments a week for the next 6 weeks and can't wait to see the results at my reassessment at the end of the 6 weeks.
If you are in pain like I was and miserable on painkillers not sleeping why not give chiropractic a try .....I AM SO PLEASED I DID .

We brought our eight-week-old baby to Epoch following weeks of watching him in extreme discomfort, thrashing around his cot and being exhausted due to him not sleeping (he was waking every two hours throughout the day and night).
Our little boy was suffering from a blockage in his digestive system, preventing him from passing wind freely and having regular movements.
After seeking advice from healthcare professionals/forums, we were advised this is normal for babies, and to get things moving, we should try Gripe Water, bicycle legs and baby massage. Doing this did help as a daily fix, although this was helping for short term relief and not fixing the actual problem.
Our little boy is exclusively breastfed, and I questioned, could this be my fault and I eating something that's causing this or do I have a poor latch? I had both checked, and I found I was doing everything correctly with my diet and latch.
Being new parents is challenging enough, and the slightest little thing causes you to worry, and our baby looked like he was in pain. He was getting increasingly frustrated, and hours would go by and finally as soon as he passed wind or had a bowel movement, he was relieved and our happy little boy again.
We had a conversation with some friends of ours about it, and they shared they had something similar with their little girl. They took her to see Dr Tom at Epoch, and he made some gentle adjustments and helped her, taking their recommendation, we made an appointment with Dr Tom and the Epoch team.
It was the best appointment we could've made to help our little boy. Dr Tom confirmed he did have a blockage and also a misaligned pallet, that was causing him headaches (no wonder he was getting so upset).
Fast forward four weeks and we have a happy baby boy! Effortlessly passing wind and having regular bowel movements and he's sleeping for more than six hours at night (I too, feel like a new woman!).
For any parents who have babies that are in discomfort, I highly recommend seeing Dr Tom and the Epoch team.

Having had bad headaches and neck problems for a year and a half I was recomended to go and see Tom at Epoch. I was a little dubious as I couldn’t see how he could help with my headaches but after my initial assessment and Toms advice I signed up. I can honestly say that after 4 weeks of adjustments that my life has been transformed. I’ve not had one headache and my neck pain has virtually gone. If like me you are a little sceptical as you don’t really know what a chiropractic can do for you please go along to one of the information nights as it may be the start to solving your problems. Thanks to Tom and the team for always being welcoming and helping me to be happy again. 😁👍

A big thank you to Tom and the Epoch team for their professional and friendly commitment to my chiropractic care. The whole experience is extremely uplifting and positive. I have really benefited from regular adjustments, especially helping with mobility and pain relief to neck/shoulders and lower back area, making my general health so much better. I would highly recommend Epoch.
P. H.
I had been suffering from daily tension headaches with a feeling of too much pressure in my head for nearly two years. I had been to various doctors and specialists and wasn’t having much success. I was starting to think I would never be able to get rid of the headaches. Then I got recommended to go and see Tom. After just a couple of spinal adjustments I instantly started to make progress. A few more adjustments later and I now feel like a normal human being again. I can’t quite believe the difference and I would recommend anyone with persistent headaches to go and see Tom. He is very friendly, attentive and really cares about your health and well being.

For the past 8/9 years I have done the revolving door of medical health care. I've seen Doctors, muscular skeletal specialists,neurologists and rheumatologist to name but a few. I've been scanned,poked and prodded and received a few diagnoses. The results of these pointed back to my best treatment being strong pain medications and to make the best of a bad situation (which I was informed would not get any better).
6 weeks ago,I walked into Epoch using crutches, limping in pain. I had my initial assessment with Dr Tom who a week later,have me my results and gave me Hope. That first treatment was the beginning of my life changing. I stood up after the adjustment and realised I could feel the floor through my left foot. I was shocked. I haven't had sensation other than numbness and heaviness for a very long time.
After every adjustment I have had, i have felt better and better. I haven't got a limp anymore, I can move freely, I don't ache as much, I have oodles of energy and I'm not walking with crutches (since my first adjustment).
My chronic sinusitis has improved, my ibs is better and my acid reflux has all but gone. Dr Tom gave me my life back and I can't thank him enough.
All the staff are amazing, friendly, caring and positive. Epoch has a lovely welcoming and calming vibe. Don't lose hope. If you're in pain, go see the Epoch team.

I was recommended to Dr Tom by my sports therapist over 2 years ago. In that time, he has seen me through to complete fitness, I can lift heavy weights in the gym now and my neck or back does not ache or feel in pain. My husband collapsed and ended up in hospital in Dec 2016, I had been nagging him to go to Tom for many months as he had suffered back issues due to playing American Football and Rugby when he was younger. Now he had no choice! Turns out he had a compression fracture that had been there for about 20 years! Well that’s all fixed now and he too is more active in the gym.
I also have 2 girls, one is 18 and an ex-gymnast, the other is 13 and competes for Great Britain in the Junior Women’s Artistic Gymnastics team. My 18-year-old was suffering with a bad back, aching knees and was lop sided. That was 3 months ago, now she is fighting fit and back on full form. I took my 13-year-old to Tom because with her gruelling 30+ hours per week training schedule I needed to ensure she was always in peak condition, doing backward somersaults on a balance beam is not easy especially if your body is out of alignment. She often looked forward to her visits as she knew she needed adjustments and felt so much better afterwards.
I cannot recommend Dr Tom highly enough. I have read the other reviews and agree with all the comments. His bedside manner is impeccable and he will instantly make you feel at ease. Bristol’s loss is Lincoln’s gain, we hope to have him back one day!

I recently embarked upon a lifestyle change and made it a personal goal to improve my overall fitness, health and wellbeing as a matter of priority. I decided that in order to achieve this, I would seek out a chiropractor in conjunction with other activities aimed at reaching this objective.
Based on a recommendation from a friend, I attended an initial consultation and orientation session at Epoch. As a result of the initial assessment, I commenced an improvement program in May this year.
After only a few sessions of spinal adjustments, there have already been many gradual and noticeable physical and mental improvements. This was supported by the first post-treatment examination that I have undertaken. I am delighted with the progress made to date.
My experience of Epoch is a professional and innovative business with a very friendly and approachable team.
E. B.
Tom is amazing he has been treating all 4 of us for several years. Regular chiropractic sessions with him help us to offset too much time spent sitting for work and use of I-pads and laptops etc. My posture has improved so much. I really recommend anybody with back issues to see Tom.
P. T.
I have suffered from back,neck and shoulder pain for many years and due to bad posture have been suffering with severe acid reflux. I have spent many years going around in circles with my doctors having scans. x-rays and taking painkillers and a lot of different antacid medication. This has all affected my daily life from sleeping to my concentration at work and general energy levels. I discovered Epoch and right from the orientation it all fell into place. I received a thorough examination and an adjustment plan which from the first appointment has improved my quality of life. My back and shoulder pain has subsided and i have minimal acid reflux and for the first time in many years i am sleeping through the night and with only one pillow instead of three! I have good days and bad but with each week I am improving! My concentration and energy levels have greatly improved. I wish i had found you earlier! Thank you for what you have done for me!
K. D.
A warm, friendly and inviting place. As soon as you walk in your are greeted by staff who clearly love their job and being at that place of work, smiles abound. All this before you see Doctor Tom, a person with a calming approach, listens to what you say and then plots how to help you improve.
I cannot speak highly enough of Epoch and am more than happy to share my personal experiences should anyone be interested, 10/10, 5 stars whatever the highest mark available is, this is Epoch, thank you for helping me to improve my wellbeing
E. S.
It's not very often that I make the effort to review a service like this, but I definitely make an exception for Tom. What makes Tom exceptional? There are dozens of practitioners out there who can make Chiropractic adjustments, but Tom's attitude to patient care, his bedside manner and his understanding of how to look after the entire body and mind together is what puts him on another level. Thoroughly recommended.
A. S.
I didn’t know what chiropractors did and stumbled across one quite by accident when visiting Manchester. They said they could help me, sure I thought, I was very sceptical.
However the encounter soon lead me to Tom and the team at Epoch. After another assessment by Tom and a full explanation of what he found wrong, he too said he could help.
I honestly didn’t think this was possible. I have had these problems since I was in my late teens and they gradually got worse over the years, to spite seeing physiotherapists, occupational therapists, rheumatologist etc. I had resigned myself to the fact and I was certain I would eventually end up on strong pain medication like my Mam and my gran before her.
Tom had given me a lifeline.
I was very unsure, and was as nervous going for my first adjustment as I was before I went for major surgery, but everyone was very understanding and helped put me at ease.
I have just completed the first part of my treatment and cannot believe the positive changes it has made, not just to my neck and back pain/discomfort but to my health in general. I have had no heartburn/indigestion/nausea since the very first adjustment. I’m sleeping better and feel more refreshed when I get up. My mind is clearer and I’m no longer getting palpitations and I’m only occasionally getting feelings of anxiety.
I really don’t enjoy the adjustments and don’t think I ever will, but I can see so much improvement the few minutes it takes makes it worthwhile.
I still have a way to go but feel positive that I’m well on my way to living well and happily without pain and discomfort. I have a future to look forward to. Thank you all.
G. F.
I cannot recommend Tom highly enough. His energy and passion for chiropractic as well as health and wellbeing in general is infectious. He is deeply knowledgable and caring - I’ve seen him work with a variety of patients of all ages and the rapport he builds with all of them is amazing to see.
I came to Tom suffering with back/neck pain as well as daily headaches caused by working very long hours sitting at a desk in front of screens. Regular adjustments gave an instant improvement to my symptoms, but Tom went much further than that, suggesting other ways in which I could improve my working life. He gave me a number of options to explore, including a standing desk. I implemented all of them and 2 years on I can honestly say my working life has been transformed.
This is where his service differs from others - he goes the extra mile, learning about what makes you tick so he can tell you exactly what you need to heal. He cares so deeply about the health of his patients that you can’t help but be inspired to become a more healthy individual.

Epoch changed my life. A bold opening statement, but true. I went with lower back pain and neck pain. After the first week, I was able to move freely and without pain. But the most amazing result was no longer having to get up to go to the loo 4/5 times a night. For 20 odd years I have had broken sleep, but now, thanks to being ' un-kinked ' following a fall down a wet marble staircase 11 years ago, I am able to have a great night's sleep. This has changed my life, waking refreshed and able to take on the challenges of a working day/life! The professional and friendly atmosphere is so reassuring, the girls and Tom make you feel that you are worthwhile. I love the holistic ethos that Epoch embraces. I only wish I had found them sooner and would urge everyone to be checked and follow the lifestyle advice given. A million thanks yous, my gratitude is endless.
C. V.
I have suffered with back pain for 19 years and i have been having headaches twice a week for just as mean years. I have been attending Epoch now for just over three months and i have already experienced massive changes my headaches have more or less gone and the pain i suffer in my back has decreased a great deal allowing me to do the simple things in my life that i couldn’t do before without causing me pain. The staff at Epoch are very welcoming and friendly and really make you feel welcome and relaxed. I would recommend Epoch to anyone that is suffering with any sort of back pain.
P. S.
I came across Epoch when my wife, who had difficulty walking, was recommended their services. She is progressing well with continuing treatments.
I am an active oldish git who is not overweight, rarely goes to the doctor (apart from when I moved practice and completed (honestly) their questionnaire, they thought I drank too much! They accepted I was a social drinker only!) walks the dogs for 2 hours a day at a fair lick, does lots of diy and gardening and thought I didn’t need the service.
However I attended the orientation lecture rather than sitting in the car waiting for my wife, and found it very interesting. It isn’t just about bad backs and legs etc, the art of chiropractic is holistic. The spine protects the spinal chord which in turn acts as a conduit for all your nerves etc (Epoch, please correct me if I am wrong here!). I have always suffered from sinusitis (the ENT Specialist at the local hospital explained my sinus canals on one side of my head are narrower than the other - but offered no treatment) yet Dr Tom mentioned that over time this condition could be improved. Along with other slight aches and pains in my neck, I decided to explore further.
Following a thorough examination - photographs, x-rays, physical examination, I was not the perfect .specimen I thought I was! Ones head should “weigh” roughly 12lbs (sorry youngsters I don’t know what that is in new money), mine weighed 43lbs; my posture was appalling, mainly thanks to driving and computer work, my balance was all out of kilter, lung function not great and heart rate variability 29% (still haven’t really understood this one, but something to do with withstanding illness in the future - the standard reading is around 60%). I came out of the examination feeling a very old man!
I therefore decided to enrol for the “full works”, a 22 week programme. Reviews are conducted after about 4 weeks -I have just had my first after 12 treatments.
The sinuses are still not working correctly, but this will take time, and my head still “weighs” the same (perhaps I’ve just got a big head!). However the rest of me - great. My posture has greatly improved, my neck no longer “cracks” when driving and making rapid movements, my lung function has improved by over 25% and my heart rate variability has gone from a poor 29% to a near normal 57.5%.
I have a further 18 weeks on the programme - I am astounded by the improvements, this from someone who didn’t feel he need charms of a chiropractor. Dr Tom and his staff are very professional, very eager to help, and have a good sense of humour. My only criticism, no espresso machine for early morning appointments.
R. H.
I have suffered from back pain for the last 15 years culminating in a serious episode which put me out of action for a few weeks. I knew I needed to find a long term solution for managing my back.
Having seen Epoch on social media I decided to give them a go. Tom and his team have been amazing and whilst I still have back pain it is manageable with the weekly adjustments I have and I have not had any recurrence of the unbearable debilitating pain. Huge thanks toTom and his team.
j. z.
I just wanted to let the people of Lincolnshire know, what a great team of health and wellbeing professionals we have at Epoch. From the first moment I walked in, to the moment I left, I felt cared for and guided into many better lifestyle practices. If you have any issues with your back, this team will look after you, and then help you to learn to look after yourself. Thank you so very much.x

I began seeing Dr. Tom Waller when I was suffering from serious back and shoulder pain. My moral was pretty low. I had nearly forgotten what it was like to be pain free. After the first few sessions, I quickly saw that he had a talent for reading the body and identifying my trigger areas. With regular adjustments and his positive can-do attitude, he helped me change habits that were putting added strain on my body. I can’t thank him enough. I would recommend him without hesitation.
G. R.
THANK YOU EPOCH TEAM. Six months ago I could not walk without severe pain and relied on extremely strong pain relief. Now I am feeling better than I have for decades. I can enjoy walking again and don’t rely on pain medication. Dr Tom and the team support you as an individual. The added benefits of meeting this amazing team are numerous and given freely. Like others I had tried many other options before finding Epoch. It truly was an epiphany. If you are dragged down by pain visit the clinic and be uplifted.
D. B.
Tom has been my chiropractor since the beginning of his career; his passion, enthusiasm and knowledge base is infectious and helps you buy in to what is an unknown side of health care for most. I gladly travel to see him instead of going to closer chiropractors as a result. Epoch will undoubtedly be a successful and valued addition to Lincoln, and is well deserved.
J. P.
I've been going to Epoch now for about a year. I originally went to sort out my bad posture and perhaps improve the range of movement in my neck and shoulder. I have to be honest for the first 3-4 months I did consider stopping, as I just didn't see any mirricle cure or benefit. I decided to persevere and I am so glad I did. My scepticism has completely gone as over time I can see real change. I haven't taken a single pain killer for anything for over 8 months, I have lost the 'hump' on my back and walk upright without having to make an effort to. I have never been so connected with my back. I can actually feel and engage every part of my core. I haven't had a cold or infection of any kind and have improved flexibility and range of movemen all over since going. So I asked myself the question again, job done, should I stop going. Not a chance. Why would I want this to stop? I don't need to go as often now, just enough to keep feeling great. Tom reckons there are other health benefits to continuing adjustments and I have no reason to doubt him. I guess I'm saying if you are not feeling the mirricle cure, stick with it, it happens almost without to realising. If you are thinking about starting adjustments, do it, you won't regret it. If you have achieved your goal and are thinking of stopping your adjustments; why would you? I strongly recommend Dr Tom and his team.
N. C.
The team at Epoch are AbSoLuTeLY AMaZinG!
I knew I had issues with my spine, I knew that I was struggling under constant stress. I would crawl through the door at the end of the day, physically and mentally exhausted and spend all day Saturday recovering from the week. I had no physical or mental energy left for my family.
How my life has changed in 7 weeks!
Epoch is not 'just' about the adjustments, it's the whole, holistic package.
I realised I was heading very quickly into a brick wall and to stop it I had to be proactive in my recovery. At Epoch you become PART of the team in pursuit of your own improved health. Along with the support, advice and treatments from Dr Tom and the Epoch team, I researched how to help myself through nutrition, environmental and wellbeing changes. I have started a bullet journal, tracking my new lifestyle and the changes it's having on my stress, moods and energy levels.
7 weeks on and the proof is in the results! Pain free, easier movement, happier, calmer, more energy, better sleep, better posture. So excited to see where this journey will continue to take me.
THANK YOU to all the team at Epoch.
B. M.
Can't recommend Epoch enough. The team are so tentative, thoughtful and caring that you really feel welcome each and every time you walk through the door. Not only has my posture and health improved significantly, I look forward to every treatment!
A. C.
Tom and all the staff have been fantastic, I was made to feel very welcome as soon as i walked through their door. I started my treatment in November with severe lower back pain and by Christmas I was pain free , now the aim is to strengthen my spine and continue to improve my well being.
Thankyou Epoch

I have been to physiotherapists and had acupuncture in the past with some success but after a month of adjustments, non of which were either time consuming or painful, I feel that for the first time someone is dealing with the underlying issues, rather than the symptoms. The fact that X-rays and measurements were taken before any treatment was considered immediately inspired confidence.
J. M.
I was recommended to Epoch by a friend who had some amazing results, Sadly covid 19 has delayed me completing the 1 stages of my treatment ,the adjustments I did have were great, and the consultation process couldn't be more in depth, I learnt so much about my body and how I use it/ should be using it! and what I learnt on my visits, and have learnt via Epochs amazing daily posts on social media since lock down has been so helpful.
I wouldnt hesitate to recommend this amazing, knowledgable, friendly team
I cant wait to get back to my adjustments asap

Excellent and friendly Chriropractice that solved my lower back pain following a period of treatments and supported by recommended exercises that I followed as suggested.

Sceptical me.
Hi. My name is Bill and i used to be a runner up until 7 yrs ago when I developed a knee problem. I then had give up running. This year my son suggested I visit Dr Tom at Epoch for an assessment. The assessment showed my back and knee needed realigning. At the assessment Dr Tom invormed me he saw no reason why I should not be able to run 5k at the end of my treatment. Yeh right I thought. Having trouble even walking for any distance and in a lot of pain at the end of every shift at work. Half way through the treatment much to my surprise and delight I am now doing 30 mins on treadmill doing fast walking on an incline with minimum pain. The discomfort at work is 80% better. I am looking forward to the 2nd half of the treatment. So if anybody out there has any injuries which have been lingering and think there is nothing more that can be done please go and see Dr Tom at Epoch, Lincoln. You've nothing to lose but absolutely everything to gain. Once again thanks Dr Tom.

I have been coming to Epoch since April 2018 and I have noticed such an improvement in not only my back pain, but also my posture, and general well being. I love the fact that not only do I feel so much better, but I also get to see the results of my adjustments, with the Progress Examinations and Reports.

What’s not to like?
My initial consultation was the most thorough I’ve experienced, out of the 4 practices I’ve visited around the country. The results were explained and related back to not only the symptoms I’d mentioned but also niggles that I hadn’t. The treatment is pre-planned and agreed, therefore each session only lasts 15 mins or so, easy to fit in a day.
On top of all of that, it’s a lovely environment and every single person that works there makes you feel welcome. They don’t just go through the motions. You can tell that they are genuinely pleased to see you, that they genuinely care about your recovery, and they go out of their way to make sure you can been seen in a timely manner.
I couldn’t ask for more. Now I am settling in the area, I’ll never go anywhere again. And I’ll continue to have adjustments, after my current treatment plan ends. Prevention is better than cure after all.

Fantastic service and friendly staff make coming to Epoch a real pleasure. My neck pain decreased within the first few weeks, and im sleeping so much better too. Thank you to the Epoch team. I cant recomend them enough!

I'm so pleased that I met Tom and Sarah at the witham fair. They had a stand and were offering a special opening offer, so I thought why not. I was hoping for a improvement in my health and mobility. I cannot believe how quickly I have seen such a huge improvement . After decades of not being able to do certain things I have been able to restart doing them. I was so unsure of what to expect , needlessly as it happens . Tom and Sarah have been fantastic and explain everything thoroughly and gave me all the information I needed to decide how I wanted to proceed with no pressure. When I first decided to trial epoch I had low expectation but high hopes, those hopes have been far exceeded. Without a doubt I will be recommending epoch to people . Thank you Tom and Sarah

Excellent service.. From the moment a patient enters Epoch, they feel at ease and have a sense of well-being. Many businesses say they care for customers but not all demonstrate the fact - Epoch does

I came to Dr Tom with regular back and neck pain and in a very short period of time, through chiropractic and personalised advice he has massively helped me on my journey to peak health. Dr Tom is kind, caring and a fantastic chiropractor. Thank you!
T. R.
My partner and I have been visiting Tom since he opened the clinic last year . The service you get at the clinic from all the staff is second to none and we have both noticed massive improvements to our overall health from having regular adjustments . We would highly recommend Epoch to any of our friends and family

I have been going to Epoch for about 18 months and have seen remarkable improvments with reduction in headaches and sinus problems. Would whole heartedly recommend going along and seeing Tom and the team to see what Epoch is all about and how they can help make a difference in your life - and i'm not just saying this because my wife works there 😁

Since starting care at Epoch I have felt a big difference, Tom has helped me improve my back comfort and has advised me ways I can improve my back and posture myself at home. Thank you for your help, I would recommend Epoch.

Dr Tom and the team at Epoch are simply brilliant,
I had suffered with back ache for 20+ years, then over a period of weeks my back went from bad to worse, it even got to the point I could barely walk, I visited epoch and saw dr Tom, I was anxious as back was sore to touch, but he put me at ease, accessed my condition, set me out a plan to recovering, and started straight away,
Now only a couple of months in and my back is completely different, so much easier to move, considerably less pain, can’t remember the last time it felt this way, and we are still working to get it even better !! Honestly don’t know what that’s like it’s been so long
Dr Tom and the team really take the time to make you feel at ease, feel welcome, he has called me after my appointment to make sure I was doing ok, always giving hints and tips on helping me through the process, even YouTube videos showing exercises and stretches,
I’m very thankful for all the help I’m getting with the dr Tom and the team,
I can highly recommend visiting Epoch
If you have back pain like I had, go visit the Epoch team, you won’t regret it

Hi everyone .....!
First of all I would like to thank Epoch so much for their professional and polite service treating everyone and every individual in the same way to not make anybody at any race feel any different ....,
And when it comes to their treatments all I can say is since I’ve been going on my treatment I have been getting better and better I’m so glad that I came to Epoch after trying so many other places and not finding a result . I am not saying this because I am being treated well I mean this for everyone else who is in need of help I really trust these people in what they do , and also I will be sending them more customers in the future thank you so much for your great professional service I don’t know how much to thank you guys 🙏🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼

Had my assessment, which was very thorough, with Xrays, weight distribution, posture, lung function, oxygen saturation, balance etc., all assessed, hence the five stars. Treatment starts very soon, slight delay which is down to me 😊
L. E.
What a fantastic service epoch has given me over the last few months, staff are extremely polite, friendly and very professional, this time last year I was struggling to walk, now I'm back working, Tom and the girls have done more for me in a few months than the NHS has done in six years, I'm amazed at the progress I have made, many many thanks to these people, if you're suffering please go and see them, you will not regret a single moment, absolutely brilliant five stars all the way.!!
