"Nothing Short Of A Miracle Happened!"
A Patient's Story

There is no better news than finding out that you are in better health.

When my husband suffered from a pinched nerve in his leg, while recovering from Hepatitis C, he decided to seek help through Chiropractic adjustments.

Nothing short of a miracle has happened. We rented a wheel chair to get him to Bartell Chiropractic Life Clinic. He was learning to walk all over again. Eighteen weeks ago, he was traveling with use of a wheel chair. With physical therapy and chiropractic care, he went from a walker to a cane. He is now able to drive himself to the Clinic alone for his weekly appointments. It has been a real happening.

What really helped Raymond the most was his decision to make regular appointments three times a week. "It will take time," said Dr. Bartell, "but if you exercise and follow my instructions, I know I can help you." That was encouraging to hear a doctor say, "I know you will get better and walk again." It was music to our ears. It has taken several months of Chiropractic care, but it has paid off.

Ray's legs are now the same length and the discomfort in his leg and hip areas has lessened to the point that he rarely complains about it hurting. In fact, since June, he hasn't complained at all. Funny how we forget so quickly when good health arrives. We forget how bad we felt, when we are normal again.

Ray had encouragement, too, from his stepson, Dr. Brian Ackermann of Marietta, Ga. who told him, "keep going and following Dr. Bartell's instructions and you will experience success . . . You'll get better."

Dr. Ackermann is a former patient of Dr. Bartell, who was seeking help with migraine headaches. Dr. Bartell helped him and encouraged him to complete the necessary requirements to be accepted into Life Chiropractic University. Brian followed his advice and became a Chiropractor 15 years ago. He loves his work and has helped many in his practice in Marietta experience miraculous results.

Being consistent is what helped the most, for Raymond. Losing a few weeks, due to bad weather can put a dent into overall recovery.

Thanks to Chiropractic care and the use of new aids, such as the V.D.P. has helped move the bones to a healthy position in Ray's spine.

We like the Chiropractic slogan: "The power that creates the body is the same power that heals the body."  We add one more ingredient and that is "Believing." You must believe that you are going to get better. Listen to your body and to your Chiropractor! It will work!
