INTRODUCING
GENTLE
CHIROPRACTIC!
Hi! I'm Veronique Desaulniers, Doctor of Chiropractic.
Perhaps gentleness in chiropractic is a new concept to
you. It was to me before I began the six years in college
training necessary for my doctorate degree. During those
years I learned the precise locations where light pressure
can bring Chiropractic relief to pain.
In addition to my doctorate, I have a degree in Biological
Sciences. Since college I have completed courses in Impairment Rating, Mo¬
tion Palpation and numerous courses perfecting the Chiropractic technique.
Even now I attend nationwide seminars to stay current on the advances in
this rapidly changing field.
If you have hesitated visiting a Chiropractor, perhaps you didn't know about
this gentle or "soft touch" technique. It has been effective treating:
Back Pain Headaches Shoulder Pain Painful Joints
Neck Pain Arthritis Arm/Leg Pain Stiffness
Numbness Bursitis Hip Pain Cold Hands/Feet
And, because most insurance companies recognize and cover Chiropractic
care, your treatment may be at little or no cost to you according to the limits
of your insurance policy. To encourage you to try gentle Chiropractic, please
accept this offer:

Peer pressure. The
desire to be a part of
the crowd is
especially strong in
young people. It’s
one of the main
reasons so many
children get involved
with drugs.
As a parent, it’s im¬

give your child the
facts about the dan¬

and the kind of
strength it takes to
say “no” to friends.
Talk to your kids. Get
