©2009 “The Uncensored Message that My Wife Asked Me Not to Write…” Dear friend, W ell, at first, my wife asked me not to write this. We had a big discussion about it. Finally, she understood what I was trying to do, and actually helped me write this letter to you. Here’s the thing; In my office, most of the people that come in to see me tell me they’ve “tried everything.” They’ve had “every” test, wound up with huge medical bills, and are still no better off. Often, they’ve been subjected to medications that have only served to temporarily mask symptoms. That’s not what most people are looking for. Health, or the lack of it, very often has simple causes, and very reasonable corrections. That’s what I’m going to tell you about. But, before I tell you more, let me tell you something about me… W hen I was 5 years old a six hundred pound wood beam fell on me crushing my thigh and breaking my leg. I was in the hospital for six months. When I came home I was able to walk but with a bad limp. I had low back pain, severe leg pain and migraines. My parents took me to the best doctors and were told that I had “growing pains” which I would grow out of. I suffered with pain and a limp for years. I was just about to begin my PhD studies, when a friend of mine that was doing his internship in Chiropractic said that he could help me. I thought, sure you can. I had been to crippled children’s hospitals, orthopedic surgeons and he was going to help rid me of the pain I had suffered with since I was 5 years old? He said to me, “what do you have to lose?” So I decided to go with him to the Chiropractic School in Davenport Iowa. He did a complete examination and after an adjustment I stood up and walked, without a limp! This was a miracle, all I wanted to do all evening was walk, and all he wanted to do was go chase girls! I continued my care with him and eventually my leg pain and low back pain went away, eventually so did the migraines. I said to him; “tell me more about Chiropractic”. I was amazed by how he had helped me and I wanted to help others. Rather than going for my PhD, I entered Chiropractic School and this is why I became a Chiropractor. Back to what my wife (at first) didn’t want me to write. It’s that chiropractic is one of the biggest “secrets” in health care. Few people (relatively, only 10% have been to a chiropractor) know about it. And, many of the rest could be helped, if they only knew the true story. So, I often feel like shouting it from the mountaintop! Is that “profess-sional?” Well, maybe it is, or maybe not. But, I’ve decided people should know. For the last seventeen years, people from Richmond, Pinole, El Sobrante and the surrounding area have come to see me with their back and neck problems. They also come to me with their: Headaches Migraines Chronic pain Neck/back pain Shoulder/arm pain Whiplash from car accidents Restless leg syndrome Peripheral Neuropathy Numbness in limbs Athletic injuries just to name a few… Here’s what some of your neighbor’s have to say: “You are a life saver, I am able to raise my arms and exercise again.” (Edward N. San Pablo) “I came in limping and in agonizing pain. I saw immediate improvement in just a few visits. From crawling to jogging and full motion. Unbelievable what your chiropractic care has provided me. Thank you for giving me my life back.” (Jacqueline R. Richmond) “I had back and leg pains for 3 years before I came to Dr. Knapp, I feel great and do the things I like now. (Marie N. ) Several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems. But I can’t really take the credit. The truth is that I’ve never healed anyone of anything. What I do is perform a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, and the body responds by healing itself. Of course, all people respond differently to care, but we get terrific results. It’s as simple as that! Exciting Offer-Look, I know you’re smart. You want to get to the cause of your problem, and not just cover it up with drugs. When you are one of the first 20 people to call and schedule a new patient exam (by February 27th, 2015) that entire exam is $37. That’s with x-rays, the whole ball of wax, and there’s no hidden fees. But, call right away because we expect to be flooded with calls as this exam normally costs $288. Again, there’s only 20 of these slots, so don’t miss out (by law, this offer excludes Medicare/Medicaid beneficiaries). Great care at a great fee. Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee. You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications…I graduated from Palmer Chiropractic College and have published articles in leading chiropractic journals. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes that you may know. For the past seventeen years, I’ve been taking care of your neighbors in Pinole, El Sobrante, Richmond and the surrounding area. I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care. My assistant is Angie and she is a really great person. Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home. We have wonderful service, at an exceptional fee.
