What Doctors do when they feel rotten...

Dear friend,

I bet you have wondered this yourself. “What do doctors do… “ Do they just take a ‘magic’ drug that they never told us about? Let’s face it, as a society we are ‘hooked’ on drugs, both the illegal and the legal ones. But, most people don’t know that it’s actually the legal ones that kill many times more people than the illegal ones.

Let me tell you a little story.

Ten years ago I was a car detailer. It was my own business that I had built from the ground up and I loved it! After a few years I started to have terrible low back pain that even went into my legs! The pain was so bad that I couldn’t even tie my shoes, sometimes I could hardly bend over and some nights the pain kept me awake. I was scared to death, I couldn’t work, my business was hurting and I didn’t know what to do, I was so scared about my future. The doctor told me he might be able to fix it with surgery. That scared me even more than my pain so I said no. But, there’s more…

My best friend convinces me to give their doctor a try. This new doctor does an exam, takes some films, and then ‘adjusts’ my spine. The adjustment doesn’t hurt, it actually feels good. I get some relief from my pain, and I can work again. Soon I had no more pain (with no surgery)! Oh, did I mention that this doctor is a chiropractor? It works so well for me, and I’m so impressed with the other ‘miracles’ I see in his office, that I eventually go to chiropractic school myself.

The ‘quick fix’ mentality of ‘just take a pill’ (not a true fix at all) is still common, but the good news is that things are changing. People are getting smarter. I recently read in USA Today that the pharmaceutical industry is now rethinking their strategy, because the medical profession and prescription drugs usually only deal with symptoms, and not the cause of sickness. Chiropractors have dealt with a cause for 109 years now, and have never wavered. And guess what?! Now there are more visits to ‘alternative’ health care providers than ‘traditional’ ones.

Years ago chiropractic saved me from back surgery, and now I do my best to help others with the same problem, as well as head-aches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, athletic injuries, just to name a few.

Oh, about the photo. Sydney, used to be plagued with asthma. She took asthma medication at least four days a week. She couldn’t play very much at school, and she didn’t like gym class. After I started to adjust her, the asthma started to subside, and now, a year later her asthma is only occasional. Recently we rode three miles together on bicycles, with no problem. That seems like a small thing,

but it makes a huge difference to her. My other child Brady, he knows enough to ask me to adjust him when he feels like he may be getting sick, or sometimes just to stay “tuned up.”

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

“Dr. Dan saved me from a football injury and surgery at age 17. Now he keeps me tuned up and ready to go for my physically demanding job as a police officer. Thanks Dr. Dan”. (Justin Krueger-Huntington Beach Ca.)

“I have suffered with migraine headaches for over 30 years. In fact, there was almost never a day that my head didn’t hurt at some level. After only 5 visits with Dr. Richmond, I feel better than I have in ages!” (Johnnie Villegas- Huntington Beach, CA)

“I had been to 3 chiropractors before coming to see Dr. Richmond about my headaches. After only 2 weeks of care I stopped having headaches. I’M SERIOUS NO MORE HEADACHES! I have never seen anybody as thorough with as many different things to offer as Dr. Richmond.” (Bonnie Pearl-Fountain Valley Ca.)

So, what is it that I, and doctors that I know do when they feel rotten. We get a chiropractic adjustment! This removes nerve pressure and the body responds by healing itself. The results are wonderful. It’s as simple as that!

Forty-eight million Americans no longer have health insurance, and those who do, have found that their benefits are reduced. That’s where chiropractic comes in. Many people find that they actually save money on their health care expenses by seeing a chiropractor. Another way to save… studies show that chiropractic may double your immune capacity, naturally and without drugs. The immune system fights colds, the flu, and other sicknesses. So you may not be running off to the doctor as much. This is especially important if you are self-employed. And, an entire week of care in my office may cost what you could pay for one visit elsewhere.

You Benefit from an Amazing Offer – Look, it shouldn’t cost you an arm and a leg to correct your health. You are going to write a check to someone for your health care expenses, you may as well write one for a lesser amount for chiropractic. When you bring in this article, you will receive my entire new patient exam for $17. That’s with x-rays, a full examination …. the whole ball of wax. This exam could cost you $295 elsewhere.

By the way, you will be happy to know that I have many patients from all walks of life on very affordable programs.

Great care at a great fee… Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about the quality of care just because I have a lower exam fee. You’ll get great care at a great office. My qualifications… I received my Doctorate from the Los Angeles College of Chiropractic. I was a member of the Delta Sigma Honorary Society, and on the Dean’s list. Currently, and for the past 20 years, I have volunteered as the staff doctor for a local theatre company. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes and famous performers that you may know. I have lived in the local area for the past 35 years and have practiced in Fountain Valley for 20 years. I just have that low exam fee to help more people who need care.
