Dr Klonel,

I received whiplash injuries in "three automobile accidents" over a period of five years.  Because of these accidents, I had learned how to live with and mask pain so I could function.  I frequently took pain medicine.  I had massage weekly.  I learned about "2nd opinions" from the insurance companies!?!?  A flare up would put my life on hold for weeks at a time because of the headaches and relentless nerve pain. 

In the fall of 2007, my Chiropractor, Dr Klonel, became trained in MUA and he felt that I would be a good candidate for the procedure.  I had 3 consecutive MUA procedures in December of 2007.  I can not tell you the difference it has made!  I feel like I have my life back.  I have even had people who haven't seen me for a while tell me that I look younger and ask what I am doing?  Words cannot even express what life without continual pain is like!  I Am Very Thankful! 

Sincerely,

R.D.

Dear Dr Klonel,

Thank you so much for recommending and encouraging me to have the MUA procedure.  Having dealt with chronic pain for over fifteen years from a water skiing injury, I was not convinced that this procedure would truly help my situation.  But now, I know how wrong I was.  I feel like I have a different body.  The chronic pain is gone and I can move so much easier.

Every time I drive the car and have to look behind me backing up, I am amazed at how easy it is.  When I look down while working at a desk or at a kitchen counter, it is no longer aggravating to my neck.  Climbing stairs no longer causes pain in my knees.  Exercise and stretching no longer makes my muscles go into spasm like before.  I wake up in the morning without the feeling of stiffness and fatigue.  I used to have many painful trigger points on my back and shoulders but now it hard to find even one.  Even muscles in my legs and arms are no longer aching.  I do not believe that I could be diagnosed with fibromyalgia now.  I feel like I have been made twenty years younger.  I hope this is not a dream that I am going to wake up from, because I feel so much better.

Thank you for learning this procedure and using your weekends to offer it to your patients.  Thank you for all your helpful encouragement before and after each of the three days of the MUA procedure.  I asked you not to make me worst and you didn't,...you made me so much better!  I am so grateful for the wonderful results!

In Grateful Appreciation,

L.B.

Testimonial #3:

Dear Friend,

Last night I slept soundly all through the night.  That might not seem like much to you, but for me, it was something I had not enjoyed for years.  You see, when my shoulders stiffened and began to ache more than ten years ago, I assumed it was caused by tension.  I'm a teacher, and all the teachers I know complain that their shoulders ache.  It's just part of the job, and I was reminded of it every time I raised my arm to write on the chalk board.  A few years later, when every step I took made my right hip and then my left hip begin to throb, I accepted it as something I was simply going to have to live with.  After all, my mother , grandparents, sister, and several cousins were crippled by arthritis, and now it was my turn.  Finally, after years of fighting against pain just to get through each day, it seemed as if all the joy was gone from my life.  I was constantly worried and anxious and easily upset.  Who wouldn't be, when you lie awake night after night, when you can't do your job, and when taking a walk on the beach just plain hurts?

This spring I met Dr Klonel, and everything changed.  I knew something special was happening when I drove away from our first session and I was able to turn my head and look over my shoulder to check for on-coming traffic.  That little movement had been impossible before.  I realized Dr Klonel was right when he told me, "You don't have to live with pain."

After every adjustment and massage, I found myself able to stretch and bend and walk more freely.  Still, Dr Klonel knew there was more that he could do to help me.  Manipulating my hips and neck and back meant fighting against my instincts to tense up and tighten joints and muscles that needed to be relaxed.  We began to examine the possibilities and advantages of Manipulation Under Anesthesia, or MUA.  In this procedure, I would be asleep and my body would be completely relaxed so that Dr Klonel would be able to stretch and adjust my spine, joints and muscles more effectively.  Just stretching -no long term drug therapy, no steroids, no painful injections.  Arrangements were made, and I spent three consecutive mornings being "Manipulated."  Unlike other treatments I have been through, this one was actually pleasant.  The facilities were first-class, and the staff was friendly and efficient.  I was introduced to every person who would be assisting Dr Klonel, and they each took the time to talk with me and answer my questions.  I fell asleep knowing I was in good hands.

I wish I could tell you what went on during the MUA, but I slept through the entire procedure.  (I was told that the team worked on everything except my toes!)  However, I can tell you that I went home on the first, second and third mornings feeling limber and relaxed.  No pain pills-- just an ice pack for temporary tenderness in my shoulders.  Since then, I have begun stretching and strength-building exercises to ensure that my joints and muscles continue to work smoothly and painlessly.  After a decade of hurting, I can walk on the beach again, go snorkeling with my daughter, and I can sleep all night long.  Most important, the joy is returning to my life. 

I hope you have the same life-changing experience.
