This image has some decorative elements, the Care Opinion logo and a drawing of a man fishing. Besides these, there is a direct quote from the story, which reads the following: “I’m delighted to say that the treatment worked amazingly well. I have almost no pain currently and I’m back to nearly full function. This wouldn’t have happened if Michelle hadn’t have approached the problem with curiosity, openness and most importantly compassion.”
