I decided to come in for a consultation to see Dr. Clem when I noticed that my hips and neck were continually stiff.  I experienced immediate relief from my stiff hips and neck within a week.   Over the course of my treatment, I was surprised to also notice a distinct improvement in my balance.  My friends have always teased me about being clumsy, tripping over things that aren’t there, rolling my ankles if I turn too quick, etc.   Within a month or two, I began to notice that I rarely stumble or lose my balance anymore.  I love not having to watch the ground intently for every bump or stray piece of gravel.   Thanks Dr. Clem!

My lower back pain started almost 2 ½ years ago.  My first solution, as with any other physical pain was to try painkillers.  It seemed to have worked at first but shortly afterwards it came back stronger and lasted longer.  Frustrated with the nagging pain I decided to try out a chiropractor and a physical therapist but saw no results.  Neither of them were able to diagnose what was causing my pain or help relieve it.  

Five months ago, my girlfriend recommended that I visit Discovery Wellness Center because she had gotten great results in the past.  Reluctantly, I decided to give it a try.  Immediately after the consultation visit with Dr. Clem, I felt for the first time that there might be hope.  After an intensive 3 months of treatment, I can finally say that I don’t have any lower back pain.  

Dr. Clem has restored my faith in chiropractic care and helped me to begin the healing process towards becoming a healthy person once again.  Thank you Dr. Clem!

Soon after birth, I could tell my son Max was struggling with digestive pain.  He had that cry where I knew he was uncomfortable and hurting and nothing I tried seemed to be helping him out.  I took him with me to my chiropractic appointment and had him adjusted too.  When I brought him home that afternoon I felt as though I was bringing my son home for the first time, he was so much calmer and content.  He did not cry at all for two days, even my skeptical husband was “sold” on the benefits of infant chiropractic care.  He no longer had a gurgling stomach or kicked with digestive pain.  

Now a few weeks later, Max is really so much happier and comfortable and acts like a healthy little baby.  Like any normal infant, he cries periodically, but it is not that piercing cry that infants have when they are in pain.  It is simply one communicating that he is hungry, sleepy or needs a diaper change.  

What a grateful mother I am to see my little son relaxed and content.  I even took him on a six-hour plane ride with no worries, which I never would have done prior to his chiropractic care.

When I began seeing Dr. Nate I was suffering from chronic neck and back pain.  I had very limited range of motion and was unable to do any of my workouts due to the pain.  My biggest concern was that chiropractic care would only give me short term relief.
 
My relief was immediate and after a month or two I completely forgot I had suffered from chronic back and neck pain.  I believe that straightening my back and neck helped me with all facets of my athleticism, my running, cycling and swimming.  Most importantly for me, I noticed the improvement with my training and racing.  I used to be sore when I ran or rode my bike and now I am pain free.  This is important not only for my overall health but for my racing season.  I feel great and I had a really successful triathlon season as a result of my chiropractic treatments.
 
I would recommend chiropractic and massage to anyone who sits in front of a computer all day and anyone who wants to be a stronger and faster athlete.
 
It is great to call in on a day's notice and be able to see Dr. Nate, especially when you have a medical situation. Leila and Reiko Rock...of course!  I feel confident in referring other athletes because Dr. Nate chooses and understands this lifestyle.  That is one of the most important criteria when I see or refer a Doctor.

My story is a very common one.  Years of back pain, probably caused by the many accidents I suffered in my teens.  At that time I was more fearless and resilient, I thought I could recover from anything.  Little did I know that all this would crawl up and bite me in the “back”.  I’m not sure when I first felt the discomfort, but my pain was constant for so long that I became accustomed to it, almost numb.  Then, one day I bent over to reach for a fallen item and as I came up I heard a crack and felt a pain so sharp and crippling that I spent the remainder of the night lying flat on the floor almost in tears.

I had started seeing a chiropractor about 7 years ago and after several adjustments, I began to feel better.  I ended up moving further away and since it was no longer convenient, I stopped getting treatment.  I felt it was time to go back, no matter how inconvenient; it had to be easier than being completely immobile.  I was surprised to find that there was a new doc at the Wellness Center, which made me a little apprehensive, but thought, “since I’m here”.

So it began, again.  The x-rays, the lectures, and the adjustments.  I expected a longer wait on my relief this time around since I had assumed that I did some serious damage.  To my surprise, my back problems had less to do with my back and more to do with my neck!  During my first adjustment, I felt a huge release!  Unfortunately, Dr. Clem “felt” it as well…the negative curve in my neck was affecting my body temperature regulation and I ended up breaking an instant sweat.  This continued through the first few sessions and still from time to time, embarrassing but also reassuring me that there is change taking place.

I am now 1/3 of the way through my treatment plan and I am feeling like a million bucks.  I keep trying to tell the good doc that I’m cured and no longer need his services, but he is a persistent and unwavering officer of “chiro for life”.  All joking aside, I feel stronger, taller, and more energized than I can ever remember.

I would recommend chiropractic care to everyone.  We get oil changes and tune-ups on our cars so that they don’t break down, we should apply that same principle to our lives and get “tune-ups” on ourselves to keep from breaking down.  Thanks to Dr. Clem, I am actually beginning to have days that don’t involve back/neck pain and I can continue to be my charmingly feisty self.

My wife introduced me to Dr. Clem about eight months ago, after hearing that I might be able to find some relief from my pain.  I have suffered from extreme allergies, and asthma all of my life.  I am allergic to over 70 different allergens, including many foods.  I have spent much of my 28 years on very strong prescription drugs and steroids, in hopes of alleviating the pain of being unable to breathe.  To counteract such intense and constant symptoms, my body learned to hold itself in odd ways, causing additional pain and strain to my shoulders and upper back as well.  

Living this way has seriously affected the quality of my life.  In addition, I am also a musician.  As a drummer, I need to be able to use my upper body as well as have good lung capacity.

I began to feel immediate results after my first adjustment, including relief from the side effects of the steroids I had been taking.  Over the last year, working with Dr. Clem, I have been able to stop taking steroids and using my asthma inhaler.  Having had to use these drugs my entire life, I am ecstatic to be rid of them.  Being off these drugs has allowed me to feel better than I ever have, and I believe I am getting my life back.
 
Over the last few months, I have begun to experience symptoms that we believe to be my body purging the lingering toxins and drugs in my system.  Dr. Clem recently heard of a similar story as mine that resulted in a full recovery after a few years of treatment.  With my own positive results, I was already confident that my future health and wellness was looking brighter; but learning of this specific success story has confirmed that we are in deed on the right path to healing my body.

I am committed to ongoing chiropractic care and I will continue to refer and encourage my family and friends to do the same.

This is a story of a painful marriage that began 30+ years ago and ended with a phone call that a friend of mine made almost three months back. About 30+ years ago, I met this pain in my back and very soon, we found each other attractive enough that we decided to marry and spend the rest of our lives together. I have to say this relationship was very painful and often times unbearable. Several times during those years, I even ended up at the emergency room in enormous pain.

Well, this marriage was not doing very well and I decided to seek treatments that left me without good results. At the recommendation of friends, I started to see one doctor after another. To my amazement, they all agreed that there was nothing wrong with my back so I took their word and just put up with the pain for all those years.

I suffered from back pain without realizing it, it was just always there and so I got used to being in pain all the time. My sleeping habits were out of whack and if I got three or four hours of sleep in one night I was happy. I was always tired and learned to deal with it and it was not fun. Then about 3 months ago, I was having breakfast with a friend who we will call NSP and she noticed that I was not comfortable.  She suggested that I should see a chiropractor and that she knew a good one in Magnolia. I gave her a brief history of my back pain and told her to forget it because nothing works; today was just another bad day and it would go away. Well she took her cell phone out, called Discovery Wellness Center, and made an appointment for that morning. I have to admit I did not want to go but I did.

I met Dr. Clem and the very first thing I told him was that I did not think there was anything that could be done to help me. He listened to me and very politely said that many people think that way and suggested a three-month treatment plan, which I agreed to without any hope. Wow! After four or five treatments, my pain was gone. Now when I go on my walks it actually feels good. I also sleep a lot better and for a lot longer. I give credit to Dr. Clem for doing such a great job and would like to thank NSP for making that phone call. I have since divorced my pain and I am having a great time without it. I was going to write a book about it but it was too painful.

I feel blessed to be in Dr. Clem’s care.  He has helped me in so many ways.  He has shown me that healing takes place on all levels emotional, physical and mental.

When I first met Dr. Clem I honestly thought I would live on and off pain meds and felt like I was watching my family and friends live active lifestyles while I watched from the side lines because of pain.  I would try to participate in just about anything and I would always end up back in bed with my back out.  This also was hard to stay positive through, so depression also set in.  Dr. Clem gave me hope in the beginning and slowly, very slowly I started feeling better.

After a couple of months of adjustments three times a week, I was off all pain medications and within a couple more months, I was off all my prescriptions.  After a year and a half of chiropractic care, I can honestly say I am living my life.  I am working out, getting stronger, gardening, walking, and living a life without pain. I continue to be amazed at all the benefits in my care with Dr. Clem.  I can honestly say I am excited to live a healthy, active lifestyle.  I owe it all to Dr. Clem who was able to help me through my pain when all my other doctors could do was help me manage pain medication

I recommend chiropractic care to everyone, and especially to all those who feel like they have tried everything and still are not getting the results they need.  Thank you does not seem like enough, but Thank you Dr. Clem for helping me get my life back.  I don’t know where I would be without you and your office.

When I was a kid I used to attend my mother’s chiropractor appointments and I always listened to the weird noises and marveled at the odd contraptions they used. That set of experiences left a lasting impression in my mind. 20 years later, I have avoided a chiropractor as much as possible.

Over the past 4 years I have become more involved in Triathlons. Due to my extracurricular activities my body has become a science project. Aches & pains, tight muscles, sore muscles, neck pain, lower back pain, hip issues, hamstring problems, knee issues and poor posture discipline. With that said, I’m not the most eager person to pro-actively manage the maintenance of my body. I assume if I can stand up and walk – I don’t need to see a doctor, especially a chiropractor.

Most recently, I found that I was incurring a complete melt down on the right side of my body. The pain reverberated from my ankle and up through my knee, hamstring, hip, arm, neck, and even my little pinky finger. My coach recommended Nathan Clem and Discovery Wellness Center. It took me a couple days, but I finally called.

My experience from that first phone call was exceptional. The staff is phenomenal. They made me feel comfortable and were very accommodating with my schedule.  Nathan Clem was excellent. He listened to my concerns and did a thorough job explaining how & why my body was reacting the way it was. He was also very flexible with his approach based on my impressions of chiropractor’s methods & contraptions.

The specific aches and pains I was feeling when I first visited are gone. But, beyond that, other aches and pains that I dealt with for years have been corrected. The best part of my experience, which leaves me very grateful to Dr Clem and his staff, is that the entire time I was visiting Discovery Wellness Center I was able continue training for a marathon.

The “whole person approach” that Nathan Clem takes is terrific.  His staff is one of a kind and I look forward to many more painful episodes that will lead me back to the office!

Six months ago, I was in a motorbike accident, I could barely walk without pain, and I was unable to close my left hand.  In August, I found Discovery Wellness Center as a new resident of Magnolia.  I originally came in to see if I could get some pain relief with massage therapy.  As I started to see results and got to know the staff, I decided to take advantage of a chiropractic exam with Dr. Clem.

After my first adjustment, I felt encouraging results immediately.  My on-going Chiropractic care with Dr. Clem and Therapeutic massage with Katelon has restored my mobility, relieved my pain and enabled me to go back to work pain free.  I feel great; like a new person and I have a lot more energy.

I encourage anyone, especially people who have been in accidents to seek Chiropractic care, as everyone should be informed about chiropractic care on a larger scale.

I appreciate that everyone at Discovery Wellness Center is very informative, friendly and accommodating.

I sought out chiropractic care when I found myself with constant and sometimes unbearable pain in my shoulders, neck and wrists.  I had been worried that if my care was not provided correctly, my pain could be even worse.  But within a few days of my first adjustment, I began to feel positive results.

My work with Dr. Clem is making me feel more energetic, the pain in my shoulders and neck is rapidly decreasing and I feel stronger and I have less worries about catching colds.  In addition, it has also helped with my headaches as well.  I now feel good and continue to feel better every day.  I would encourage friends, family, and actually everyone to seek chiropractic care.

I enjoy coming to Discovery Wellness Center, the familiar ambiance in the office, and my massages with Katelon!

For the last twenty five years I’ve had pain and discomfort with my neck, shoulders and upper back.  An MRI showed that I had bone spurs, arthritis and degenerate discs.  At times I felt paralyzed by the pain.  Having had a bad experience with a previous chiropractor I was not treating when I was told by a friend that Dr. Clem was a young doctor with new ideas.  I decided to talk with him and see what he had to say.

I noticed an improvement in two weeks of treatment.  I no longer had headaches, and I had both a better attitude, and better range of motion.  I no longer have to take prescription drugs for the pain.  I’m not totally pain free, but I am closer now to being pain free as I have ever been in the last twenty five years.  I now manage the pain the pain doesn’t manage me and I have far more good days than bad days.

I would recommend to anyone to investigate chiropractic care and to make their own decision on whether to try it as I did.  But with no hesitation I would strongly recommend Dr. Clem to be your chiropractor.

The staff at Discovery Wellness Center are great!  Leila has all the answers for me regarding insurance and Medicare and if I need to get in for treatment she always works me in.  This has all in all been a great experience for me.
-Armond

When I first came to Dr. Clem, I felt awful.  Everything hurt, from my head to my feet and I could not even think.  I initially questioned what outcome would come from my care.  However, I started to see results right away.  I felt taller and had better blood flow after my first adjustment.  My treatment has absolutely helped with my other health concerns.  I am doing better all the time and I would recommend that “everyone” see a chiropractor.

Without chiropractic, I certainly would not have been able to exercise or be active and I would not have been able to function over the past year.

The Discovery Wellness Center staff are such thoughtful and caring people.  They genuinely care about how you are and what they can do to help you function at your very best.

I had suffered terrible back pain for a long time and I did not know why.  With the pain, my head also felt cloudy.  I had been taking six or more over the counter pain meds a day with no relief.  As a last resort, I went to see a chiropractor.  I found out that my atlas was out of place; my head tilted, and my spine curved.  Within three months and after several adjustments I began to feel better.

Today my back pain is gone!  I still have recurring issues from a life of car/motorcycle accidents and rough sports, but I am a lot better than I used to be.  I think everyone should consider chiropractic.

I started out with the previous chiropractor who found my original problem, but he never did follow up exams or x-rays.  Dr. Clem actually cares about how I am progressing.  My regular adjustments are a must and they always help.  The new staff is great!  Everyone is friendly and actually smiles and greets me when I come in.  When Dr. Clem and staff took over the practice, they had a huge mess to clean up – and they did.  The office looks great and feels 100 times better, and so do I!  Thank you.

What can I say about the results from your Graston Technique?  It was the single most effective therapy that I ever received.  My knees were suffering from chronic soft tissue injury.  My active lifestyle at work, home and play had left me with limited movement.  This restriction was changing my morale about aging (I am 60 years old).  The effects of therapy were rapid and could be measured in your treatment room at each session.  My orthopedic surgeon prescribed physical therapy with anti-inflammatory medication.  The results were negative.  It all changed with your consultation about my condition.

Thank you for the skill you have achieved in the Graston Technique.  This is a most welcome alternative to surgery.  I do appreciate your patient care.  Because it is superb.
-Dan

I have experienced chiropractic care in the past but before I met, Dr. Clem I felt like a bag of bones.  About five seconds after my first adjustment I felt results.  My treatment plan has also helped with my headaches.

My chiropractic care has kept me alive!  Today I am feeling better and I continue to recommend chiropractic to many of my friends as well as my family.

Discovery Wellness Center is a great place, with wonderful caring people.  Thank you so much for doing this!
-Beth

I sought out a neighborhood chiropractor when an old injury to my lower back flared up. During my initial visit I was immediately impressed with Dr. Clem and his office administrator Leila. Their professional, warm and inviting personalities were refreshing.

Dr. Clem’s ability to explain what was causing my pain, how he could both relieve my pain and heal my injury was motivation enough for me to commit to a treatment plan. Now 6 months in to my treatment I have seen a 76% improvement to my neck curve, and 100% improvement in both my hip rotation and leg height. I continue to feel stronger and see positive results each visit.

The waiting room is filled with friendly patients happy to share their positive experiences. This is a direct result of the caring, supportive environment Dr. Clem fosters at Discovery Wellness Center. I look forward to a lifetime of chiropractic maintenance with Dr. Clem.

I went to see Dr. Clem for shoulder and neck pain. I got fantastic results! Not only is my neck and shoulder feeling 100% better, I can sleep better; I'm back to exercising regularly, and playing with my kids again. Dr Clem helped me to get my diet back on track and put me on a workout schedule that I love to do. Dr. Clem sat down with me and really seemed to tailor my treatment to my individual goals and concerns. I can't say enough about this office. -HG Home

I had a great adjustment by Dr. Clem. He takes the time to listen and find out what is causing your problem. The staff is great and very efficient with paper work and billing.  Discovery Wellness Center is highly recommended.
