Dear Friend,

Are you about to give up?  How many doctors and tests have you gone through, and how much money have you spent?

Here’s the thing.  Sometimes the answer is just “outside the box”.  Maybe the best way to get you this message is to tell you about what happened to me.

Fifteen years ago I started college, but I was overwhelmed by intense migraine headaches that were getting worse.  They made it nearly impossible to study.  The medical doctors gave me pills and said it would go away, but they didn’t.  In my case they came on slowly, over years, but they worsened to the point where I could barely function.  Most of my time was spent lying down in a dark room, taking handfuls of painkillers.  I felt like giving up.  A friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try.  The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine.  The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good.  I got relief, and I finally felt like myself again.  It felt great to throw away that bottle of pills.  In fact, it worked so well that not only did I finish college but I went on to chiropractic school myself. 

These days I’m blessed to help people with headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder / arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, carpel tunnel syndrome, numbness in limbs, just to name a few.  I went to the chiropractor as a last resort, and now I often see people who’ve come to me when they have “tried everything”.

Here are two things I understand that just make sense.  One ... the body is “smart” and is always striving to heal itself.  And two ... working with the body’s inborn healing systems makes good sense.  I’m a chiropractor, and I do things differently.  My job is to get to the root cause of (many) healthproblems.  Covering up symptoms with drugs may not make sense sometimes. 

Here’s what some of my patients had to say:

“I was taking high doses of prescribed pain medication for fibromylagia.  I noticed a difference after the first week of (chiropractic) treatment.  My numbness and pain have been pretty much eliminated.  My general health is better as well.”  (Alta C. – Thomasville)

You need to know that I don’t “cure” anyone.  Sometimes, nerve interference gets in the way of the body’s inborn ability to heal itself.  What I do is remove nerve pressure and allow the body to heal itself.  I’m not a miracle worker; your own body is the miracle.  Although all people respond differently to care, a study in 1994 showed that over 98% of people seeing a chiropractor were satisfied.  That is incredible.  If you are tired of getting nowhere seeking an answer, perhaps you need to look in a different direction.

One out of seven dollars spent in this country are for health care, yet we are shockingly only 37th in the list of healthy nations.  Is what you’re doing for your health working?  Look at all the drug commercials on TV.  Do you think we need a change?  I know from what I see everyday, and what chiropractic has done for me, that one of the biggest problems in health care is ignorance and intolerance for health care that is not drug-based.  Are you ready for a different answer?

When you bring in this article, I’ll do my entire new patient exam for $17.  This offer is good through June 15^th, 2009.  That’s with neurologic and orthopedic testing, x-rays ... and the whole ball of wax.  This exam could cost you $195 elsewhere.  If you decide to purchase additional treatment, you have the legal right to change your mind within 3 days and receive a refund.  But further care is very affordable.

Please, we hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because we have a lower exam fee.  My qualifications ... I earned my bachelors degree in honors physics from the University of Waterloo, Canada and my doctorate from Northwestern College of Chiropractic. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to their great grandparents and even work with pregnant mothers for a safe and effective alternative to drugs.  We just have that low fee to help more people who need care.

 Thank you,

Dr. Kris Jonasson

P.S. When accompanied by the first, I am also offering the second family member this same examination for only $10.
