J. Stephens - Chronic Sciatica

     When I first went to Dr. Clough I suffered from chronic sciatica and had very limited mobility.  My gait was not normal, and I walked with a small shuffling step and used a cane.  I had a great deal of difficulty getting in and out of a car or any activity that required me to lift my foot or leg (getting in or out of the tub, etc.).  I had constant muscles spasms in my back and leg cramps.  I also had a lot of numbness & tingling in my shoulder and arms which made it impossible to hold my new granddaughter for more than a few seconds.  I could not turn my head more than a few inches either way.  I was on heavy pain medication.  I also suffer from impaired kidney function and was very toxic.  All this made it impossible to even lay down in the bed and as a result of loss of sleep my nerves were raw and my emotions unbalanced.

     After finding no help from conventional doctors I was very depressed and on the verge of giving up.

     After beginning treatment I began to regain my mobility and experienced a release of toxins with each adjustment.  After about two months of treatment was able to walk without the cane.  I can now sleep in my bed again and my sleep pattern is beginning to return to normal.  My pain medication is drastically reduced.

     Personally, I find Dr. Clough to be a kin, caring person.  He is intuitive and a good listener.  He is very humble and I never fell "talked down" to.  He is quick to learn new techniques and therapies.  I feel like he's given me back my life.
