Only *29
to anyone who has never
been to a chiropractor
before (or hasn't been
in a long time).
Dear Friend,
My name is Dr. Kevin L. Strohman. We are
celebrating our 2 year anniversary in
Commerce, Georgia. To show my appreciation,
I have agreed to "give away" (to anyone who
asks for it) $225 worth of my services for only
$29. That's right $29.
We have had an overwhelming response to
our new office and have already helped a lot
of people feel better and live healthier, more
productive lives through Chiropractic Care.
And now, I'd like to introduce even more
people to the many benefits our profession has
to offer.
For instance, chiropractic care may be able
to help you if you are suffering from any of the
following conditions:
• Migraine headaches
• Numbness in arms and legs
• Lower back pain
• Muscle Spasms
...And a host of other problems ranging
from dizziness to ringing in the ears.
These symptoms can be caused whenever
the vertebrae in your spine are out of
alignment, because these "misalignments"
directly affect your nervous system.
Fortunately, many of these and other similar
afflictions may be relieved or eliminated by
proper chiropractic treatments.
So if you have always wanted to "check
out" chiropractic and see what it can do for
you, now is the best time to do so because only
$29 will get you all of the services I normally
charge new patients $225 for.
• In-depth consultation about your health
and well-being
• Complete chiropractic spinal exam
• Full set of specialized x-rays to determine
if a misalignment in your spine is causing your
problem. (Note: Nobody gives these kinds of
x-rays free. They would cost you at least $100.)
• Analysis of your x-rays and spinal exam
to evaluate what needs to be done to correct
your problem.
• Answers to all your questions concerning
chiropractic care and what it can do for you.
What are you waiting for? Call us for an
appointment Today! 706-335-2225. Tell the
receptionist you'd like to come in for the
special New Patient Introductory
Examination. Don't delay - relief is only
minutes away.
Sincerely,
Dr. Kevin L. Strohman
