“In March 2026 I realized that was seeing double. I saw my ophthalmologist two days later and she diagnosed me with Sixth Nerve Palsy. The condition was very disorienting and disconcerting. My footing was unstable and I couldn’t drive.
Since the diagnosis was that it was a nerve problem, I consulted with Dr. Gong. She said it was an unusual problem and made no promises, but said that she would be willing to give it a try.
After nine appointments with Dr. Gong between late April and early June, the double vision disappeared.
When Dr. Gong started her treatments, we decided she should work on two other problems also. First, in Sept. 2006 I had torn a ligament in my right ankle. I had gone to an orthopedist and physical therapist at the time and done the exercises they recommended. The ankle improved, but never felt quite right. Since Dr. Gong has been treating the ankle, it has noticeably improved.
Second, in July 2023 I was diagnosed with a pinched nerve in my neck that caused considerable pain around my left shoulder blade and discomfort down my left arm to my hand. I had three months of physical therapy and took Gabopentin for 2½ years. The shoulder blade pain went away and the arm discomfort lessened, but residual discomfort remained in my left forearm and index finger and thumb. Since Dr. Gong has been treating those areas, the discomfort has lessened further.”
