M. O'Brien - Thank You

Dear Dr. Clough,

I wanted to thank you for your chiropractic care and helping me to improve and/or eliminate my pain and other general health complaints over the past few months.  My complaints consisted of "aching all over" to, more specifically, having numbness and pain in my arms and wrists, lower back pain, and a general lack of energy.  I attributed some of my aches and pains to ageing and overwork, while I'd seen other physicians to treat - for example, arthritis in my neck for which pain and anti-inflammatory medicines were prescribed - I considered "untreatable" and something I just needed to "learn to live with."  Needless to say, I frequently found myself feeling depressed over this situation.

After explaining how I felt to a neighbor who is one of your patients, she suggested I visit you for a consultation.  You found that I had several issues for which chiropractic and holistic health care could improve, and we started on a path to what I consider remarkable changes for the better and improved overall health and outlook on life.
For example, my lower back and legs ached while ascending a staircase - now I no longer have any aches during this activity.  I found it painful to get in and out of my car and couldn't turn my head to look side-to-side without experiencing pain; now I can do both relatively pain-free and with a significantly improved range of motion.  Also, I could not write in longhand (e.g. a handwritten letter or thank you note) without pain building up in my wrist and hand to the point I'd have to stop writing until the pain subsided.  I'm happy to say that I can now write in longhand without feeling that pain.  These are just a few examples, but many other "aches and pains" are gone, and I hope gone for good!  Plus, I find myself being more optimistic and having a decidedly "sunnier outlook" on life.

We have more work to do for a cu0le of my health complaints, but my experience and progress to this point has been so positive, that I'm confident that we'll see vast improvements on these complaints as well.  I can't you thank you - or my neighbor for referring me to you - enough for the hope and healing that's been given to me.
