WHAT IF YOUR DOCTOR WERE TO SAY TO YOU: “Congratulations, I have great news!
There is a way to treat your back or neck pain without having to undergo surger y This FDA cleared technology is non-invasive, pain free and dr ug free There are no needles or anesthesia It can be done on an outpatient basis and it has proven to be ver y successful Thousands of patients have been treated successfully using this technique And the cost of the treatment is a fraction of what you would pay if you were to undergo surger y In fact, it is probably significantly less than or equal to the out of pocket expenses if surger y was deemed necessar y ” This scientific discovery is called Non-surgical Spinal Decompression and it is available at Albrecht Chiropractic / West Michigan Spinal Decompression. It is considered a viable and reliable alternative to surgery in many cases.This unique procedure is becoming widely regarded as the most efficient way and cost-effective approach to treating herniated discs, spinal stenosis, disc degeneration, and sciatica It is a pain free procedure designed to relieve pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves.
We see patients who have tried various alternatives to manage their pain such as purchasing a new mattress, exercise therapy or pain medications because they think there is a possibility that their pain will go away over time and their condition will resolve on its own If the pain that you are experiencing is due to muscle strain or stress, then these types of therapies may work for you But if you suffer from chronic and severe back or neck pain due to disc related conditions of the spine, then it is highly likely that your condition will require a more aggressive disc procedure
What Is A Decompression Session Like?
Typical patients find spinal decompression to be a relaxing, painless procedure that in most cases can be completed in a few weeks on an outpatient basis The procedure is performed with the patient fully clothed and is safe, painless and extremely effective In fact, it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during the procedure Each session has a cumulative effect designed to significantly reduce pain and improve function as patients progress through the decompression program
How Does Decompression Work?
Non-surgical Spinal Decompression is a pain free procedure designed to relieve pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves As pressure builds inside the disc it causes bulging of the gelatinous material inside the disc This jellylike tissue can be placed under so much pressure that it can cause the annulus, or outer band of the disc, to rupture When the disc has ruptured or ‘herniated’, it may create pressure against one or more of the spinal nerves which can cause pain, weakness or numbness in the neck or back that can radiate into the legs or arms Non-surgical Decompression creates negative pressure within the disc, causing the herniation to be drawn slowly back into the disc space, thus relieving the pressure, as it rehydrates the disc Midway through the treatment protocol, the formation of Collagen begins to take place in and around the disc These ‘sticky’ cells have the ability to form other cells including chondroblasts or baby cartilage cells These cells help the disc to heal
Pain Relief Without Risky Side Effects

I am a senior citizen who likes to stay active, but last summer I fell and ran my head into a steel garage door and received severe neck pain I had an MRI taken and they found several damaged discs in my neck I have also had trouble with lower back pain and numbness in my toes for the past several years and an MRI of that area showed multiple damaged discs in my low back as well I went to several Dr ’s and specialists with each of them taking weeks or months to schedule me and then even longer to get any results and none of them had any answers for my pain They just talked and talked I then went to Laser and Spine Institute in Cleveland and had appointments scheduled to have laser spine surger y for both my neck and low back which was going to cost me well over $25,000 out of pocket That’s when my daughter asked me why I didn’t see a chiropractor that went to her church I said I didn’t believe in Chiropractors She said what would it hur t to just go talk to him at least? I agreed to tr y it I decided to make an appointment with Albrecht Chiropractic Office PC and got in within a matter of days After talking to them and having x-rays taken, they found one leg to be shor ter than the other and we decided to tr y a treatment After that first treatment my feet were better Then they told me about spinal decompression as an alter native to the surger y for both my neck and low back It was only a
fraction of the cost so I decided to tr y it Now I am 100% pain free in both my back and neck I feel the best that I have in years I don’t like to eat my words, but I am now a fir m believer of chiropractic and Dr Dar l and Dr Seth Albrecht I would recommend this office to anyone with back or neck pain - Larry W Leister Sr 06/18 Also offering treatments for Peripheral Neuropathy Get Rid of the Pain in Your Hands or Feet Chronic Pain Ruining Your Life?

I DA R E YO U TO B E L OV E D . . . When people listen, God speaks
When people obey, God acts When God acts, people are chang ed
You have searched me, Lord, and you know me You know when I sit and when I r ise; you perceive my thoughts from afar Psalm 139:1-2
Therefore, brothers and sisters, we have an obligation – but it is not to the flesh, to live according to it For if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the misdeeds of the body, you will live For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God Romans 8:12-14
REFLECTION: The first fr uits of the new creation come from being united with Jesus Chr ist As a result, we have become adopted children of God We are no longer in debt to our sins but have become indebted to the Spir it Let me explain Bor n from above people are led by the Spir it of God As God’s children we are set free and no longer a slave to the desires of our old sinful nature Instead we have the Spir it of God guiding us and helping us walk the path to eter nal life No one can please God without first receiving the Holy Spir it Ephesians 4:30 “And do not br ing sorrow to God s Holy Spir it by the way you live God has identified you as his own This is a guarantee that we will be saved on the day of redemption ” To live with this guarantee sets us free to ser ve the one we love Galatians 5:24-25 “Those who belong to Chr ist Jesus have nailed the passions and desires of their sinful nature to his cross and cr ucified them there Since we are living by the Spir it let us follow the Spir it’s leading in ever y par t of our lives ” This major shift in our lives causes us to tur n away from the passions of the flesh Staying close to Jesus is not difficult when the Spir it comes alive in our hear ts and minds This force of God settles in our minds, and we leave behind our old nature In doing so we become witnesses of our faith by loving God and one another
When we are pressed upon by God’s Spir it we are mar ked by our acknowledging Chr ist as a living sacr ifice for our sins
PRAYER TIME: Lord Jesus, you searched me, and you know me You know my name and ever y hair on my head Thank you for br inging me into your presence I no longer perceive you from afar In Jesus Name, Amen

“GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING”
(No 6 in series: The Attributes of God)
O Lord, you have searched me and you know me Psalm 139:1
By Rev Dan M nor - revdminor1945@gmai com
We have all heard the saying “hindsight is 20/20 ” Sometimes in looking back we may wish we had more knowledge at the time a decision was made We may have done things differently In other words, our knowledge is incomplete (I Cor inthians 13:8, 9)
This br ings us to another of God’s attr ibutes: God’s omniscience In other words: God is all knowing God knows ever ything there is to know about us
Thus, with the psalmist we can say, “You have searched me and known me You know when I sit and when I r ise; you perceive my thoughts from afar You discer n my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways Before a word is on my tongue, you, Lord, know it completely You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me Such knowledge is too wonderful for me Too lofty for me to attain ” (Psalm 139:16) What does it mean that God knows ever ything and our knowledge is limited? For one thing, if we knew ever ything, we would be God As Pastor Jeremy Afr ica says, God is God and I am not ”
This br ings us to the hard question of human suffer ing and loss Why do bad things happen to good people? There are some questions which will never be answered in this life and this is because God’s ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8, 9) In Deuteronomy 29:29 we read, “The secret things belong to the Lord our God ” Jesus understands our need to ask why On the cross, Jesus said, “My God, My God, why have you forsaken me? (This was a direct quote from Psalm 22:1) Given the fact that our knowledge is limited, how can we deal with life’s unanswered questions?
I n t h e m i d s t o f gr e a t s u f fe r i n g , J o b s t a t e d , “Though he slay me, yet will I tr ust in Him” (Job 13:15) Apostle Paul who knew the meaning of personal suffer ing, wrote, “Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror ; then we shall see face to face ” (I Cor inthians 13:12)
It seems to me, our best option is to move forward, tr usting God Prayer: Dear Lord, help me to tr ust even when I do not understand In Your strong name Amen.

He is such a fun, playful boy! Moseley was brought into Wishbone’s care as a lost dog and has now been waiting for a family for 143 days In their care, he’s been neutered, microchipped, and brought up to date on vaccinations This ham is a big ball of fun and LOVES to play with toys, people, or other dogs He’s not picky! He loves all toys, but he especially seems to enjoy tennis balls After a nice walk or play sesh, he’s ready to cuddle up and chew on a Nylabone or get some snuggles He’s ver y socially-motivated which makes him a pleasure to work with He walks ver y nicely on a leash thanks to the time the staff and volunteers have dedicated to working with him! Moseley would love to join a home with another playful dog and older dog-savvy kids to play with! He loves to play with other dogs and has a couple playmates at the animal shelter, but can definitely be too much for some dogs If there is another dog in the home, a meet and greet will be scheduled to ensure they’re a good match! Kids 10 years and older are recommended for Moseley, but he could do younger with the right kids If you’re looking for more fun and joy in your life, look no fur ther than Moseley
