Confession to Newtown

A Doctor's Confession to Newtown

Dear friend,

    I want to give credit where credit is due. So, perhaps a confession can help clear the air so there’s no misunderstanding. Before I talk about my confession, though, let me say a few other things first.

      Let me start by explaining the photo in this letter.  You know, when I meet people in town they usually say, “Oh, yeah, I know you, you’re Dr. Gene. I’ve seen your ad with that picture of you and that cute little girl.”

     While playing college basketball, I severely injured my ankle. I tried everything to help my ankle, but nothing seemed to work, not drugs, not the medical doctors, or physical therapists.  I was in a lot of pain, and I was scared.  I wondered how the injury would effect the rest of my life.  I wanted to play basketball, but the coach had no choice but to take me out of the lineup.

      Then a friend of mine convinced me to give a chiropractor a try. The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine.  The adjustment didn’t hurt, it actually felt good. I got stronger, and I could use my ankle again fully.  The interesting thing is that my skin cleared up (it was a chronic problem), I began to have more energy, endurance and sinus congestion and frequent colds went away. The chiropractor also balanced my muscles on a well-designed plan of care.   It all worked so well that I went to chiropractic school myself.

     The little girl, is Renee (my daughter), she has been checked and adjusted since birth. She’s very healthy and has never been on antibiotics, no ear infections, allergies or stomach problems. She loves getting checked and adjusted (and so do all her dolls.).

     It’s strange how life is, because now people come to see me with all kinds of sports related problems. Also they come to me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder / arm pain, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, numbness in limbs, carpal tunnel syndrome problems, phobias, Anxiety and Addiction-Breaking System, (ie.food, drinks ,etc.)  just to name a few.

Here’s what some of my patients had to say:

 Briana (11), A year ago she was plagued with asthma.  She took asthma medication at least four days a week. Imagine, a little girl not being able to play with her friends in gym class, she was afraid of having an asthma attack. After I started to adjust her, the asthma started to improve immediately, and now, two months later, her asthma is only occasional. She can jog together with her new puppy, “Chance,” with no problem.  That seems like a small thing, but it makes a huge difference to her.  “No more neck or hand pain, I can move my hands and knees freely again!”- (Linda Karolczuk)

“My whole family is much healthier. Thanks Dr Gene!!" (The Elander & Rahmlow family)

“You’ve “helped my back, my remission of cancer and my spirit! Thanks a million!!.” (Al Taubert)

“When I started with you I was one step away from the wheel chair and quitting work. After the adjustment program I am back to work full time, and getting better every day. “You’re a life saver”(Maria Bogus)

“I can do the thousand things a day again, It took a while for me but I’m glad I  followed  the adjustment plan. I feel GREAT!” (Pat Philbin)

     You know, several times a day patients thank me for helping them with their health problems.  But I can’t really take the credit.  My confession is that I’ve never healed anyone of anything.  What I do is perform a specific gentle spinal adjustments to remove short circuits in the body’s electrical systems, use advanced muscle reflex testing, spinal massage table and one or two key nutritional or herbal supplements and the body responds by healing itself.  We get tremendous results.  It’s as simple as that!

     Forty-five million Americans no longer have health insurance, and those who do have found that their benefits are reduced. That’s where my I come in. I have a significantly lower fee plan so that more people are able to afford the care they need.  A whole week of care in my office costs what you could pay for one visit elsewhere. Another way to save…studies show that chiropractic can double your immune capacity naturally and without drugs.  The immune system fights colds, flu, and other sicknesses.  Therefore, you may not be running off to the doctor as much. Studies show that people actually pay less for their long-term overall health care expenses if they are seeing a chiropractor.

       Please, I hope that there’s no misunderstanding about quality of care just because I have a lower fee.  You’ll get great care at a great fee. My qualifications…I’m a graduate of Western States Chiropractic Collage and a Diplomat in A.S.B.E. and Applied Kinesiology (AK). I have  published articles in chiropractic journals. I have mastered over 15 techniques from soft touch to normal force adjustments, from muscle reflex “Applied Kinesiology” to muscle massage work, from advanced nutritional to leading edge herbal care, Five Minute Phobia / Anxiety release techniques. I’ve been entrusted to take care of tiny babies to pro athletes that you may know. I have been practicing in Newtown for 16 years.  I just have that low fee to help more people who need care.

     My assistants are Jessica and Rebeka and they are really helpful and caring.  Our office is both friendly and warm and we try our best to make you feel at home.  We have a wonderful service at an exceptional fee. Our office is called CAYER FAMILY CHIROPRACTIC and it is at Newtown Office: 97 S. Main Street.  Call us at 426-4700 today for an appointment. We can help you !  Thank you.
