Did you know, the best sunglasses for migraine sufferers are those with a rose tint?

A lady texted me at the last hour desperate to catch me before I left for Christmas break. She was experiencing front and back chest spasms and wanted to not run out of supplements for her “blood pressure”

Her BP has been fairly normal and she doesn’t want that to change or take meds. I had them. She wonderered if extra magnesium would help the chest spams? I disagreed

She was rather uncomfortable and seemed letdown. I adjusted her spine and sternum, then performed some BioEnergetic Synchronization (BEST). She moved away from the table and said, “My chest, my back,…don’t hurt, I can breathe! It’s a miracle!” Walking out the office door she repeated, “It’s a miracle!”

To all I say, MERRY CHRISTMAS !!!!!

Who says medical doctors don’t “get it”?
A medical doctor recently came in for a “maintenance” visit. While on the table the MD noted being unaware of the many sore vertebrae and maybe this visit was more of an overhaul.

The MD concluded that “maintenance” or more appropriately, “supportive care,” will require coming in more frequently - maybe every month!

The importance of healing while being (optimally) functional cannot be stressed enough! The only guarantee I can give is, if you heal while you are dysfunctional, you will likely remain dysfunctional.

I received this text recently:

“Just wanted to let you know I had my blood drawn yesterday and my A1c has gone from 6 to 5.8 and my Vitamin D level went from 23.7 to 31.3. So we're moving in a good direction!”

This patient has some blood sugar issues, autoimmune problems, and more.
The numbers are slowly changing but I think we have chosen the correct supplements!

A text I received shortly after an adjustment,
“Dr Oetzel, I just wanted you to know that my foot has not felt this good for years. It seems loose now. Before it just really felt all cramped up. Thank you!
I can actually bend my toes!”
I provided the full spine adjustment,
a foot adjustment, and
a T-Tap treatment (similar to acupuncture) on the foot sole.

Texted to me this Saturday morning.

“My vertigo is so much better. Still a little dizzy but not constant as it was and the nausea is completely gone 🙌👍”

The adjustment was on Wednesday. It will take another one.

I had a patient today, in his early 60’s complaining of bilateral sciatica. The sciatica was constant and he wore a rigid brace on one ankle to prevent collapsing.
I had seen him years ago. Today I told him he was likely to leave my office without sciatica at least on one side.
I made the adjustments, he paid and went out the entrance. The entrance door reopened and he came back in and exclaimed, “I don’t have any pain!”

Shouldn’t topics like this be transparent?
What could possibly be worth hiding?
