My HSG showed total blockage on both tubes. I was told IVF was my only chance at having a baby. I came here in May of 2021 and just tried to be open and receptive to the experience. I didn't really expect them to be able to clear my scar tissue, but I was hopeful. I felt very cared for by my therapists and enjoyed going to the clinic. Keep in mind this is not a relaxing Swedish massage though, there will be a little pain and discomfort as they work on your adhesions. I left Gainesville on May 6th and on June 20th I found out I was pregnant I am currently 25 weeks along and baby is doing great. I am extraordinarily grateful for this clinic and my therapists for restoring my fertility.

My husband had his first small bowel obstruction in June of 2022 and it was a harrowing experience…read morefor him, necessitating surgery to unblock it. When we left the hospital I searched online to find ANY options for prevention of this again in the future, and I was thrilled to find the Clear Passage online site which we both devoured in the days following his surgery. We decided to invest in our mental and physical well-being by taking money out of savings to go through the week-long physical therapy for him. Since it is a huge financial investment, we researched and chose one of Clear Passage's most experienced and committed physical therapists to work with, Sharon Hepburn, in St. Louis. We were NOT disappointed. We also learned that she is their Chief Operating Officer, and wow, were we grateful to have chosen her to work with. We had to wait to schedule the treatment for 3 months post-op and I just had my fingers crossed that we would make it to St. Louis before any recurrence of an obstruction. We did. We flew to St. Louis from California on a Sunday, settled into the comfortable hotel that they recommended, and then began therapy the next day. Sharon's office is located in a very nice suburb a short drive from the airport. There are gorgeous and spacious parks seemingly everywhere in this area and beautiful spacious estates. It was a lovely place to settle into for the week and we were fortunate to hit a week of gorgeous weather the last week of September. Between our daily sessions we had lovely picnics and walks in their parks. Sharon works with an excellent massage therapist, Maura Lee, and between the two of them we witnessed incredible shifts! I am a retired family therapist/psychotherapist and registered nurse, and I was enthralled and impressed to attend and witness each session. Sharon and Maura's deep knowledge and understanding of physiology, ability to tune into the body, adept capacity to work with emotions that arose in the treatment, and wisdom about what to do next was absolutely amazing and intriguing. The Clear Passage protocols are sequential and specific. We were both VERY impressed with the process and the results! My husband's belly is now soft and pliable. It was tight and lumpy when we arrived. A pain that he had in his lower back for many years is now resolved. He has specific self-exercises that he does daily and we both now know how to manage any recurrent obstructions should any recur, which I now strongly doubt will happen. We feel empowered and safe to travel should we choose to. We extend our very deep thanks and gratitude to Clear Passage for developing this protocol to bring health and freedom to us again, and we particularly thank the expertise and compassion of Sharon Hepburn and Maura Lee at the St. Louis Clear Passage office in St. Louis!

Nevertheless, I was very satisfied with my first visit because I was welcomed warmly by the receptionist and seen by the doctor on time with ample discussion about the prognosis, future visits, and was sent on my way. This is what efficient and effective chiropractic care looks like. I am grateful that my father recommended Family Chiropractic Center to me while I am away at college. As a student with intramural sports, and many late nights studying, I recognize I put lots of strain on my body's innate ability to heal itself: ergo chiropractic is the perfect intervention for me.

They take my insurance (Aetna) which even covered copay once I got a referral from my general practitioner, and it was right by my major's department on UF campus which was super convenient. The primary reason I stopped going was because my schedule changed and now I work or have class during ALL their opening hours which are only 3 days a week anyway - pretty common for chiropractors. However I reached a point where I started to feel like it wasn't helping as much as I'd hoped. I still have a lot of upper neck pain and I had to ask for recommendations as far as exercises and stretches that would relieve the pain. Dr. Schargel gave me a few pointers, but he did it so quickly that when I tried it on my own, I'm pretty sure I did it wrong. He's very sweet and clearly passionate about what he does but sometimes his enthusiasm takes over and it leaves you feeling a little rushed. I'm not sure that's the correct description. Maybe a better explanation would be to say that he always seemed in a hurry to get you better but with all that energy, he may have skipped over some crucial steps. I got more information from UF's massage therapist who explained to me that my neck problems were caused by the strain of leaning over sketch pads and paintings, and she took almost 25 minutes to give me informational packets with the phone numbers of other locations on campus that would help me check my posture and spinal stress for free. She also gave me detailed instructions on how to take stress off my upper and lower back which I found a lot more helpful.
