Dear Dr. Vanderslice

I am writing this letter for two reasons: first to thank you for restoring my health and secondly to endorse your chiropractic services. Please share this letter with others, as you deem appropriate. As you will recall (how could you forget), I came to see you on January 19, 2001. I was not unfamiliar with chiropractic services, having received chiropractic care on a limited basis the year before. However, I was pleasantly surprised at the thoroughness with which you approached my complaints of low and mid back pain and neck pain. I attributed this pain, in part, to my "bionic" hip and to a fall in November. I was impressed; both as a consumer and as a nurse with the thorough history you obtained from me prior to the exam as well as the exam itself. During the course of the exam, you found my blood pressure substantially elevated (180/90). You quite appropriately referred me to my personal physician who encouraged me to follow the treatment plan you had established for me to monitor my blood pressure (which you did at each visit).

The three visits a week for the first 2 weeks brought noticeable improvement in my flexibility, reduction in pain, and most importantly in my blood pressure, which returned to a normotensive state for me of 130/80.

The treatment regimen you outlined for me over the next several months addressed the structural problems I have as a result of the hip replacement and included orthotics and a tens unit coupled with stretching and regular exercise. The combination of these treatments has kept my pelvis in alignment as well as my back and neck. My blood pressure is still normal and has dropped even more (116/70).

With the monthly maintenance program, my movable parts keep moving. I am healthy, and my disposition has improved significantly!

What I am most pleased about through the course of this treatment is that you prevented long-term chronic problem, you taught me how to recognize problems, and we worked together collaboratively to improve my overall functioning.

Dr. Vanderslice, individuals who walk through your door are fortunate to received the best chiropractic care from a practioner who engages the patient in a long-term wellness program. Thanks again for helping me to restore my health.

With Warmest Regards,

Janet,  M.S., R.N.
