Chris Israel

Star Patient "Chris Israel"

I was replacing my wife’s seat in her van and threw my lower back out. This was by far the worst pain I’d ever felt. The pain and the disability from the pain caused me to give up my small business and look at changing careers completely.

Judge me if you want, but the way I dealt with the pain was with ibuprofen and beer. Then one day, lying in bed with the pain, I decided to try a new approach: chiropractic.

 Since then, Dr. Kurt has made me feel terrific.  I learned that ibuprofen is actually dangerous to take as often as I did and it certainly isn’t good to mix with alcohol.  If you knew what I know now—you’d get your bones checked at Northfield Chiropractic. So called “wonder drugs” simply mask symptoms and don’t address real health. And, P.S., I am enrolled to go to school this winter!

 Here’s what Dr. Kurt had to say:

“Being a chiropractor can be tough, because there’s a host of so-called  experts out there.  They tell people a lot of things that are just plain  ridiculous about my profession.  It’s time we, as a Nation, got to the core of the problem.  How long can we go on just covering up symptoms with drugs, and not stressing preventative care?  The system isn’t working well, and it’s time people opened their eyes to a different point of view.” 

“Let’s face facts.  What I did for Chris was a specific spinal adjustment to remove nerve pressure, Chris’s body healed itself. My job is to work with his body, teach Chris how to be healthy, and then do my best to help him get there. The truth is I have never healed anyone of anything—my job is to get rid of what is stopping your body from healing on its own.”

“What’s the point? This country is deeply entrenched in a culture that believes that health comes from a pill and we naively believe that all over-the-counter and prescription medication are safe. Many people do not know they have choices for more natural forms of health care.  That’s where you come in...you can help.  If you believe as I do, share this story, share your story—share chiropractic with a loved one today.  Let them know they can heal.”
