"If You Have Your Health, You Have Everything"

I, Tina, have a long history with Dr. Krahl. In 1983 I got hurt at 

work. I had bad headaches, neck pain, and back pain. After many days 

and nights in pain, my co-worker told me to “try chiropractic care”, 

and to go specifically to see Dr. Krahl.

My other doctors wanted to do surgery but I didn’t want to, so I was 

under medication; tylenol with codeine for the pain, and soma, the 

muscle relaxer. This went on for 2 months and my stomach was really 

hurting. I was still in pain with neck, back and headaches.

 

I decided to see Dr. Krahl, mostly because I wanted to get off the meds 

and I wanted to feel and function better. When I went to see her I 

was in pain and my face was being affected by now. On my first visit, 

after I’d had my previous care reviewed, a complete exam, and a review 

of my x-rays already taken, Dr. Krahl felt a chiropractic adjustment/ 

spinal manipulation, would help me. Right after that first 

adjustment, I felt relief from the pain in my face. On the second and 

third visit I was feeling so much better, I knew that I was going to 

get well...that there was hope. Yes, after a month can testify that I 

felt almost myself again, no meds, no headache, no neck pain and I 

was now sleeping every night. Most importantly, I’ve never ever again 

had to consider surgery.

Yes, if you have your health, you have everything. You owe it to yourself to get a second opinion.

I continued with Dr. Krahl through many years. I still go see her 

when I need an adjustment. Dr. Krahl has also helped me with 

nutrition and gave me specific instructions on what I could personally 

do to help with the diabetes that I developed four years ago. And 

another time she helped me with plantar fascitis; pain on the sole of 

my foot! Dr. Krahl is my “Big Pill.” I don’t need to be taking 

medication when I’m under her care. I didn’t originally know how many 

conditions chiropractic could help.

I have referred many friends, co-workers and family members because I 

knew she could help them get well and feeling better. I wanted to 

share my success with other people who are hurting and want to get a 

life without pain being the limiting factor. I thank God that I 

listened to my co-worker and sought help with chiropractic. I hope 

that whoever reads this will know that there is help available in 

natural wellness through chiropractic care. Once you get the help you 

need, you’ll want to help other people by sending them in for the 

chiropractic care THEY need.

Dr. K’s note: This patient said no to pain pills.  She knew intuitively that covering the symptoms was not going to change her underlying condition.  In her case, although there were indications for surgery, she was able to recover enough well-being, movement and function to continue to lead a productive life, without it.   She is another patient who made it to retirement without being disabled by pain.  I consider it a privilege to be a chiropractor and help people like Tina.  It is very rewarding to develop these deep and abiding friendships and be able to contribute to the lives of other people.
