Success Stories: Chronic Back Pain
Patients speak about therapy for chronic back pain.
After years of incapacitating back problems, I have now received my first 12 hours of treatment at Clear Passage. I am amazed that I feel physically so much better, in such a short time. It is remarkable to me that I can now bend over, virtually pain free, for the first time in 14 years! Had I come here sooner, I would have saved myself so many years of pain and misery! Thank you so much.

Since therapy, my chronic neck and back pain are completely gone. I no longer experience constipation either.

I rode my motorcycle yesterday for the first time in a long time! You made that possible!
I just wanted to thank you guys for your help, encouragement, and kindness. If I hadn't found you guys originally, I would still be in terrible pain. I’m a physician and you've given me my life back. I can't put a price on what that means for me. Thank you so much!

The treatment I was privileged to receive at CPT has proved to be worth the time and distance.
After 14 years of living with back pain I had accepted that I would have to live with the pain. With one treatment from CPT I could tell a difference.
As a health care provider at a large teaching hospital, I thought I could easily find the best physicians and therapists to help me resolve the pain from my back injury and surgery. I’d had two major back surgeries, and been to five therapists and many physicians over six years with no significant relief. Then I found Clear Passage Therapies.
By the time I first met the staff at Clear Passage, I couldn’t sit or stand for more than 20 minutes without pain. The smallest movement caused me excruciating back pain that required me to lie down for an hour or more. The pain was constant and debilitating. I was becoming depressed, often with thoughts of suicide. I thought there was no way out. I had been a very active woman at work, at home, and participated in several sports with my active family.
Then I began treatment at Clear Passage. Although I had to drive 2½ hours each way to see them, I had heard so many good things about this group that I thought it was worth a try. Frankly, I would have gone anywhere in the country (or world!) to help relieve this awful back pain and return to a normal life.
It was obvious from the first session, that this clinic and the quality of service they offered was a huge cut above anything I had experienced (or imagined) in my rehabilitation process. Within the first three treatments, I was able to find a "pain free" range for my low back. Soon, it became obvious that Belinda and Larry had developed a method of treatment that addressed chronic pain in a way that I never knew existed.
I am now able to sit, stand, and actively participate in daily living with ZERO PAIN on most days. Last session, I was asking them, quite seriously, if I could make plans to go snow skiing !!
I can't believe the progress I am making after every session. Clear Passage has given me a treasure that is with me every day, for you have given me back my life. I thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Someday I hope I can tell you how bad my predicament was prior to my treatment at CPT! Within a week of returning home after treatment, the inflammation (tendinitis, etc) in my perineum was 95% abated. As a chiropractic physician, I have had a chance to sing your praises to patients, fellow chiropractors, and medical doctors that I know. I would like to get some of your literature to send to all the health professionals I've been to see over the last three years. What a journey!

I actually had part of my coccyx (tailbone) removed, due to chronic tailbone pain. When I first attended Clear Passage Therapies, I was on a morphine pump, taking morphine approximately 4 times a day. I was unable to sleep through the night.
After the very first treatment, I was able to cut my morphine dose to once a day. I was also able to sleep well through the night (something that I hadn’t been able to do in literally years).
After 5 or 6 hours of therapy, my pain continued to decrease as profoundly as the first visit. I thank you Clear Passage Therapies for giving me back my life and the ability to function without the use of heavy medications.

My husband and I had the wonderful experience of therapy last month, and I have to say that I have never felt healthier! My back is no longer completely stiff, and we are optimistic about a family for the first time in years. The Clear Passage staff was just so special.... I can't even put it in words to describe what a life-changing trip that was for us. I think I have driven all our family and friends totally crazy with referrals to Clear Passage -- it could benefit so many people!
I hope that you realize what good you are doing with these treatments. What a wonderful gift. You guys are just the best. Thank you for giving me my life back - and hope along with it.

I came to Clear Passage because I have been infertile for over seven years. The lower back pain I had been suffering from for over 20 years became a part of my life and I accepted this pain, and later the intercourse pain, as "normal for me." I just completed 20 hours of therapy. My ultimate prayer is that I will become pregnant - but I have already been rewarded. Intercourse pain has reduced 99% in one week as well as the lower back pain. I value the instructions on how to strengthen my back and prevent further injuries. The therapists could not have been more caring and patient with me and my husband. You and your entire staff are all a very special group.

After a colonoscopy left my husband with severe tailbone pain, we searched for years for relief. We went to so many types of specialists that it made our heads spin. It was so frustrating to try to find answers. Until you, it seemed like all we got were tests, and more tests, and more tests. No one was giving us results. Then we found Clear Passage, and it was like finding a waterfall in the middle of the desert!
My husband is making progress in the right direction for a change, and that is all that matters. I'll never be able to thank you guys enough. I wish all health care providers showed the focused interest in their patient and the willingness to learn and explore that you do. Your facility began to feel very comfortable to us and your knowledge of our specific issues and others that I witnessed during my time at Clear Passage were just amazing!
Once again thanks for making us feel at home and for helping my husband feel so much better.
