HEADACHE?
ARM PAIN?
LOWER BACK PAIN?
LEG PAIN?
DISC PROBLEMS?
“DON’T WORRY,
IT WILL GO AWAY.”
You’ve heard that before
...perhap even said it yourself.
It's easy to ignore the minor ache or pain, just as it's easy
for your chiropractor to treat the minor ache or pain.
However, let the pain persist and worsen, and the healing
process becomes more difficu.t That increasing pain is a
signal that the condition is gradually degenerating into a
severe ailment. If you are experiencing any discomfort now,
get a chiropractic examination before the pain (and the
expense) become severe. To encourage you to check out
those little aches and pains, the
PERRY CHIROPRACTIC
Health Center
1207 C HOUSTON LAKE DRIVE
will give you a
FREE SPINAL EXAMINATION
A $50.00 value, including an orthopedic test, a neurological
test, a contour analysis, and a private consultation
to discuss the results.
