“MY CONFESSION TO THE TOWN OF BEDFORD”
And why we do what we do…
Dear Friend,
I want to give credit where credit is due. So perhaps a bit of a confession can help clear the air so there’s no misunderstanding. But before my confession, let me tell you about the photo.
I’m the woman sitting next to Mason, the boy in the middle. I’ll tell you his story in a moment, but first, the deets on the man behind me, my husband. John grew up in a home full of mental health challenges, which created more mental health challenges and a constant state of anxiousness for him. He joined the Boy Scouts as an escape, and became an Eagle Scout at age 15, which is quite remarkable. After a career in the Air Force, John was living a healthy life, with lots of exercise and good nutrition, but he still suffered from anxiety and GERD. A friend told him to try chiropractic, and with nothing to lose, he gave it a try. He got an “adjustment.” It didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. That’s when his life changed. The cloud of anxiety he had known since childhood lifted, and his acid reflux disappeared. It sounds like a small thing, but having his spine aligned was so profound that John decided to become a chiropractor himself.
So, what about me? Unlike Dr. John, I grew up getting adjusted. My mom was a chiropractor, I was checked at birth for misalignments. Getting adjusted on the regular was no big deal. But now that I’m a chiropractor myself, I realize just how miraculous it can be for families like the one in the photo with us. Mason was battling chronic ear infections– over 9 in a single year. He even had a future surgery scheduled. Thankfully his mom, heard about our approach to care and how adjustments can maximize the immune system. That’s when it changed… Since being seen in our office Mason has been free of ear infections!
And what’s more… Mason’s mom Kristen started getting adjusted too. After two weeks of care, she no longer wakes up with her “normal” daily headaches! Kristen couldn’t believe the relief. The neck and shoulder tightness that has plagued her for years faded away and she truly feels 100% better. Now their whole family is under care to keep everyone functioning and adapting at their BEST!
It’s strange how things turn out. Dr. John and I met at college. We fell in
love with chiropractic, and each other!
We moved back to my home state and together we opened a new Crossroads location in Beford to elevate the health of our community through the best in corrective chiropractic care. Now I adjust my mom!
Our patients have come to us with their headaches, ear infections, neck pain, low back pain, migraines, chronic pain, shoulder/arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, allergies, ADHD, asthma, digestive problems, sciatica and numbness in limbs just to name a few.
Here’s what some of our patients say: My husband & I came hoping it might help me with my constant sinus problems. Well it has and we’ve been coming ever since. We started taking our two boys too. My younger son has ADD and it has helped him – he’s off his medication! – S.C.
I have noticed a boost in my health in so many ways. I find I am calmer, get sick less, feel less aches and pains as well… I love the people here and the quality care.
-D.A *results may vary
Several times a day people thank us for helping them with their health problems. But we really can’t take the credit. My confession is that I’ve never healed anyone! What I do is perform specific chiropractic adjustments to reduce interference in the nervous system – the body heals itself. Millions of Americans still don’t have health insurance, and those that do have found that their benefits are reduced. That’s where chiropractic comes in. Many people find that they actually save money on their health care expenses by seeing a chiropractor.
You benefit from an amazing offer –Look, it shouldn’t cost you a fortune to improve your health. When you mention this article (by 7/31/25) you will receive our entire new patient exam for $59. That’s with any necessary x-rays, a thorough chiropractic exam… the entire first visit. This exam could cost you $300 or more elsewhere. And, further care is very affordable and you’ll be happy to know that we have affordable family plans. You see we are not trying to entice you to come see us with this low start up fee, then to only make it up with higher fees after that. We understand the importance of affordability and further care is very important to consider when you’re exploring chiropractic care as part of your lifestyle. High costs can add up quickly.
Great care at a great fee… Please, I hope there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because of the lower exam fee. You’ll get great care at a great fee. Our qualifications… we are graduates of the prestigious Sherman College of Chiropractic and we have been entrusted to take care of tiny babies and children from 1 to 91. In 2023, Dr John was awarded the Sherman Clinical Distinction Award and just last spring I was honored by my alma mater with its “Service to the Profession Award.” I have served on nine mission trips and co-host a weekend radio show all about health on WTPL 107.7FM. We just have that low fee to help more people who need care.
All of our offices of CROSSROADS CHIROPRACTIC are both friendly and warm - we do our best to make you feel welcome. We have wonderful service at an exceptional fee with locations in Bedford, Pembroke, Meredith and Epping. Call us today at (603)575-9080 to set up an appointment or schedule online CrossroadsChiropractic.com. We can help you. Thank you.
P.S. We ask that you take advantage of this offer only if you are serious about your health.
