Success Stories and Inspirational Words

I came to ProHealth & Wellness with a severely deteriorated spine, hoping to take advantage of their laser treatment and Dr. Clare's skill with the ProAdjuster.  Eight years of chiropractic care in two other offices had helped me maintain minimum mobility, but I was still unable to work, and going downhill fast.  Walking was poor and I often had double vision when I looked to the left.  Driving was unsafe because of my inability to turn my head properly and the need to have my neck supported continuously.

Examination showed at least four discs completely gone, two bulging discs, multiple subluxations, and high levels of inflammation, especially in my neck.  I felt hopeless.

The laser has offered wonderful pain relief and greatly reduced the inflammation.  Treatments with the ProAdjuster are comfortable and effective.  In less than four months I began to walk freely and without pain.  Getting in and out of the car is easier now.  My vision is better and my balance is improving.  And I'm just getting started!  My hope for a  productive future has been restored.

The staff at ProHealth & Wellness is friendly and courteous, making every effort to help me feel at home and cater to my indivdual needs.  Dr. Clare is warm and caring, always willing to listen, even with his busy schedule.  I have used three other chiropractors, and as far as I am concerned, his skill is unmatched.  He has been able to address alignment problems in my spine that were previously immovable.

It is not an exaggeration to say that ProHealth & Wellness is in the process of giving my my life back.  -Diane H.

I had suffered for 20 years with increasing pain and lack of mobility in my entire back and neck area.  I had seen various doctors, including one of the most respected orthopedic specialists in the area to no avail.  I wanted to give chiropractic care and Dr. Clare a try.  I can truthfully and joyfully say that this has been the best thing I have ever done for myself in my life.  I am now pain free.

Dr. Clare is my primary physician and within two visits my headaches were virtually gone.  I highly recommend that if someone is seeing a M.D. and are taking drugs that treat the symptoms and not the problem: or if you know that it is a spinal or joint ailment, they visit ProHealth & Wellness. Thank you so much for easing and eliminating my pain, Dr. Clare! -Sean M.

After being involved in an automobile accident, I immediately went to my general practitioner who prescribed pain killers and muscle relaxers as a means of dealing with the pain and discomfort I was experiencing from my lower back pain.  I was told physical therapy would follow at a later date.  It became clear to me that the medications were merely masking my problems, not to mention they incapacitated me considerably.  Having received chiropractic care in the past, I selected ProHealth & Wellness to administer to my needs.  The doctors are gifted, and their caring staff have a wonderful ability to put me at ease while in the office.  They show interest in me as a person and are very willing to spend more time answering my questions.  I greatly appreciate that respect as a patient. Once I began care, the pain began to decrease with each treatment.  Dr. Clare proved that you don't have to live with pain through their treatment.  I have recommended chiropractic care to my friends and family, and will continue because I firmly believe it is a practical solution for health issues without the use of drugs and surgery.  Again, I would like to thank the entire staff for being there when I needed them.  They are the best!  -Judith H.

­I was one of those people who did not believe in chiropractic care and was afraid of it until I saw a friend of mine get help with her back, and still was afraid to really give it a chance.  About 2 years ago my rheumatoid arthritis became severe to the point I was bent over on a cane, could barely walk, every move was not just painful, but felt completely locked up, I finally decided to give Dr. Clare a chance because the medicines weren't helpin either.  After just one week the difference was amazing, then after a month I got rid of the cane.  I didn't need it anymore, I stood taller, walked with more ease, and I hurt less.  I was so thankful that God gave me the courage to give chiropractic care a chance, because it has changed my life.  My rheumatoid arthritis will always be an existing presence in my life, but I now have an alternative answer to just a life full of drugs.  I can breathe better and I also started loosing weight as I continued treatments.  I now come as I need to and can know almost instantly when I need to come in for treatment.  Chiropractic care has kept me away from surgery as well.  The people here have always been very caring and kind to me no matter what.  Dr. Clare has always made me feel like helping me feel better is his biggest goal, and I've seen his other patients feel the same way here.  It's hard to believe I was a non-believer in this, and now know I will continue this as long as I live, and happily tell others of it's wonderful benefits.
- Laura B.

It was my pleasure visiting Dr. Clare's office, not only was the staff pleasant but Dr. Clare was always in a good mood.  I have back trouble (lower back) and the adjustments he gave were different then any other chiropractors ever had given me.  They were more bearable and not painful and I always came out of there feeling so rejuvenated.  I would recommend his office to anyone and everyone who may have similar trouble or any other problems.  He would always find the problem spot.  All I can say now that I'm moving out of town is God bless him in his practice and thank him for what he has done for me over the years. -Dora T.

Shortly after arriving in Charlotte on a flight from Kansas City, I experienced a pain in my back,  my right foot seemed to drop and my toes on my right foot were frozen.  I contacted a spine doctor in Charlotte, had x-rays taken, a MRI and he determined that I had a pinched nerve.  He recommended that I have a brace made for my right foot and leg.  The doctor called the problem a "drop foot."  My wife was praying about my problem; also the brace.  Would it be able to heal my leg?  The thought came to her of a friend who practices Reflexology. While taking one of the treatments, which helped a great deal; this person mentioned a Chiropractor that she was seeing and recommended him highly.  I made an appointment with Dr. Clare.  He and his staff were very cordial and explicit.  After my initial exam the Dr. Clare showed me the x-ray and pointed out the pinched nerve.  He started treatment and after the second week I was able to discard the brace and haven't worn it since.  My muscle in my right leg had gotton a great deal stronger and I'm able to move my toes.  I'm walking without my leg dropping and getting stronger all the time.  Praise the Lord!  -Tom N.

Prior to entering ProHealth & Wellness, I had very bad pain in my leg, lower back, and foot due to sciatica.  Dr. Clare was very thorough and explained all the facets of the treatments and answered all my questions prior to beginning any treatments.  That was especially helpful to me since I had not had chiropractic treatments before.  Now I feel great and only have pain every once in a while which is alleviated by weekly treatments in the wellness program.  -Danielle B.­

ProHealth & Wellness was able to quickly reduce the pain caused by my lower back injury.  Furthermore, through the weekly wellness program, I have gained flexibility and reduced my susceptibility to injury despite a full schedule that includes golf and martial arts.  -Tom B.

Both of my hands began becoming  numb and sometimes having horrible pain in my palms, usually at night.  A nerve conduction test showed severe nerve damage in my right hand and moderate in my left.  I went ahead and had the carpel tunnel surgery on my right wrist.  Dr. Clare told me he could actually do adjustments on my arm and wrist!  So he started adjustments and within several weeks the hand was no longer painful or numb.  My orthopedist told me to call him to schedule the other surgery, and I never did!  That was in 2004, and both hands are great!  I had no idea that chiropractic could rescue me from carpel tunnel surgery. - Gail V.

My name is Hannah, and I have been coming to ProHealth & Wellness since I was in the 2nd grade.  My mom has been coming here for almost 12 years!  A kid at my school, pushed me down making my back hurt.  My mom took me to Dr. Clare who determined the problem.  Both my back and neck were out of alignment.  I was really scared.  Dr. Clare and all his staff were really nice though!  For almost four years, I have been coming to ProHealth & Wellness!  Now my back doesn't hurt as bad, and that make me happy!  I am very glad my mom took me to ProHealth & Wellness.  Without it, I might not be where I am today.  Hannah M. (age 11).

When I moved to Charlotte, I never thought I would find a Chiropractor as good as the one I had in Florida.  But I was pleasantly surprised.  Dr. Clare has a wonderful bedside manner and my daughter and I enjoy our visits.  She plays tennis and comes for a "Pro-Adjustment" when her shoulder gets stressed.  I've had chronic neck and pack pain for years, however since I've been coming here, I rarely feel it.  The minute I feel a twitch, I come and Dr. Clare works his miracle with "Pro-Adjuster". It really works without all that pain.  I never realized how having your spine out of alignment would cause different health problems.  I would much prefer to keep my back and spine in good shape (by making visits whenever I feel any pain, or unusual symptoms) I'm a big believer in Chiropractic.  But I'm especially fond of Pro-Adjuster and Dr. Clare.  They Rock!!

I came to see Dr. Clare with back, hip and leg pain.  I began to see relief very quickly and all pain and discomfort were completely gone after about 10-12 treatments.  Dr. Clare is a very caring person and your health is important to him.  And, personally I like him which helps you to not dread coming for treatments.  - Charles T.

I came in with bad side ache and back pain.  After 4 or 5 treatments I can already tell I'm getting more flexable and more movability in my back, I know in the weeks to come I'm going to get better and have less pain, I'm so thankful I came here for treatment, Dr. Clare is wonderful!!! - Joy T.

I have been struggling with sciatic nerve pain for a few months and have found Dr. Clare to be understanding, compassionate and knowing exactly how to treat my problem through various methods of chiropractic.  He has also given me good suggestions for exercising.  I am gradually getting better.  I believe I have gotten better quicker than had I just taken pain pills and gotten a temporary fix instead of getting to the root of the problem.  With all of the pain I've experienced, I've only missed a half a day of work.  My only regret -- I wish I would have done chiropractic care earlier in my life. I believe it can make a difference in your health for years to come.  Thank you ProHealth & Wellness staff for the great care you give! - Janis Ross

I became a patient of Dr. Clare sometime ago after several years of sparadic upper back and neck pain.  It did not take long for Dr. Clare to stop the pain.  Moreover, I found myself getting sick less and generally just feeling better.  My wife and son are patients of Dr. Clare.  All of us can feel the positive difference chiropractic care has made in our lives.  - Wayne Bowling­

I got great relief from a pinched nerve in L5 lower back and the rest of the spine.  I have no problem now, even my neck.  Wonderful place to come.  Doing Great! - Hazel McLelland

Dr. Clare gave me my life back!
I have been seeing Dr. Clare since 2006 and thanks to him my pain and headaches have all but disappeared. 
     It has been 20+ years since a drunk driver hit the car I was in.  I have been suffering with back pain, neck pain and severe headaches ever since.  My pain would come and go through the years, but in the last 5 years the pain and headaces became more frequent and I just couldn't take it anymore.
     Having constant pain in my hips, back and neck I wasn't able to do much without aggravating some part of my body.  I started getting headaches more frequently, pretty much everyday.  The quality of my life & health had begun to suffer.
     I decided to try chiropractic services again.   I had some relief the last time I had gone several years back but had stopped going due to various reasons.  I saw ProHealth & Wellness was down the street from where I lived and thought "What the heck; it couldn't hurt."  That's when I met Dr. Clare and his staff.  He fast became a permanent fixture in my life.
     With all the advancements in chiropractic care and more importantly, the great care and support from Dr. Clare and his staff, the quality of my life and my health have improved greatly!
     I am no longer sidelined in my own life!
     I'm able to do all the things I once did before the accident.
     I don't know where I would be right now if I hadn't walked in those doors 3 years ago and put my trust and faith into Dr. Clare's hands.
     BEST CHOICE I'VE EVER MADE!
     Thank you Dr. Clare for giving me my life back! - Tina Canestraro

Before I came to Dr. Clare, I could not easily turn my head from side to side and could only hold it for a couple of seconds.  The adjustments I have received from Dr. Clare have alleviated that pain and headaches I used to have.  He has also relieved lower back pain.  I feel so much better and don't have to depend on medicine to relieve my pain! - Nicole Elgin

I was told I needed back surgery several years ago in 2001 - a friend suggested chiropractic, since Dr. Clare was in the neighborhood I called and got my 1st appointment on 1-14-02.  He has helped me with several different aches and pains over the years and I still see him helping me in the years to come. - Bernadette Logothetis

 I have been to numerous chiropractors through the years.  By far, Dr. Clare has been the one who has helped me the most.  He alleviated my lower back pain and neck pain which had bothered me for years.  As a result, I feel so much better and have far fewer migraine headaches.  I have recommended Dr. Clare to many friends and co-workers who have become regular patients of his. He is a very knowledgable and caring doctor - Judy Ferguson

The treatment that I have received in the past 2 months has been the most beneficial toward my health and wellness.  I have more energy, flexibility and feel the best in years.  I'm a avid golfer and my swing has improved tremendously.  I would strongly recommend the care not only due to an injury but as maintenance, prevention is definitely the key.  -Veronica Welsh

     Forever I had a baseball size knot on my left shoulder that nothing could bring relief.  I finally found that relief once Dr.Clare started working on my shoulder.
     Also I had had two knee surgeries on my right knee within 6 months of each other turns out my ankle and hip were out of alignment and only Dr. Clare working to put my ankle and hip into alignment actually took away the knee pain.  I have gotten so much relief for my knee that I have 3 of my friends coming to Dr. Clare now.  - Kathy Nichols

Upon my first visit to Dr. Clare, my neck and upper spinal area was causing me so much pain, I was almost in tears.  I could not sleep comfortably and the pain was unbearable.  Dr. Clare's adjustments and treatments have me know at a pain scale of 2 whereas it was at 10+, 10 being the most excruciating. Surgery may one day have to occur but the progress being made through chiropractic adjustments now have me more comfortable. - Jeff H.

I can't say anything negative about Dr. Clare and his staff, only positive.  From the 1st day I stepped into his office hunched over with back pain.  They have treated me like family.  Always willing to work with me; on fitting me into the office with my crazy schedule.  I highly recommend Dr. Clare as he is always patient and takes time to listen to me and help me understand what he is doing. - LeVay Penny

I have been seeing Dr. Clare now for 4-5 years and have not had the persistant lower back problems that had been experienced in the past.  His technique has helped to improve my lower back problems and I continue to visit regularly to prevent any issues, the staff is courteous and professional, and is always attentive to your needs - Roger MacWhirter

Prior to seeing Dr. Clare I suffered from constant back pain.  He has been able to relieve years of pain in a small number of visits.  The staff is awsome and will do everything possible to help you!!  I have recommended Dr. Clare to friends as well as many co-workers. - Chris Irwin

Back on the Road to Good Health - I went to the doctor with knee pain after having a x-ray & MRI, the doctor told me I had a Meniscas Tear and Arthritis on the front of the knee.  I would need Arthroscopy Surgery. This would clean the nkee and repair the meniscus by trimming it.  After the surgery I was sent home to get well.  The first time I went back for my checkup, I still couldn't stretch my knee out.  I was advised to have therapy on my knee, that made it worse.  I had to use a walker to walk.  When I went to the doctor he had to give me an injection for the pain.  Plus I was using pain medicine to help with the pain.  The injection helped for a while then I started to have pain in the knee again.  Went back to the doctor, he told me I would need a partial knee and another injection was given.  I wanted to wait a year to see if the knee would get better.  One day I was having lunch with some friends that have chiropractic care; they told me how chiropractic care helped them and felt that it might help my knee.  I was thinking chiropractic care, the back and neck, plus good if you were having a headache.  I didn't have any idea it would help my knee.  I called and made an appointment.  Dr. Clare was very honest with me about my knee.  He examined my knee and did a x-ray on it.  The x-ray showed him what was wrong with my knee.  He adjusted my my knee and a laser treatment was given.  The next time the adjustment was given then electro with ice treatment.  I was feeling the results after having these treatments.  After two weeks of treatments I was walking on my treadmill, riding my bike and stretching.  Now I'm walking 3 times a week, 2 to 3 miles on my treadmill.  Riding on my bike 20 min., three times a week and losing weight.  I was amazed with the results.  It is wonderful to have my life back.  I'm not sitting on the couch any longer.  I would tell anyone to try chiropractic care to see if it will help them.  I'm very happy my friends told me about Dr. Clare, it has changed my life.  Plus, I'm walking for good health and not any more pain medicine for my knee.  All I can say is Thanks Dr. Clare - Lanelle Walls
