Thursday, April 2 – OPEN HOUSE - THANKS FOR A FANTASTIC FIRST
YEAR!
Invite your friends and family to the
Compass Chiropractic
Open House on Thursday, April 2 from 5-7 PM. We'll have fun,
friendship, food, and door prizes including a Wii/Wii Fit. Just
showing up gives you a shot at winning.
Anyone interested in becoming a new patient will be able to donate
$30 to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation and receive a
complementary new patient visit (exam, any needed spinal X-rays,
table massage, and report of findings - value up to $300!). We're
hoping to raise over $2000 for this great cause, so make the
donation and you'll get an extra shot at winning the Wii/Wii Fit!
Established patients can help us reach our goal as well. Those
who make a $20 or greater donation at the open house will receive
one complementary treatment (adjustment, Active Release
Techniques, and table massage) to be used by April 17, as well as
an extra entry into the door prize drawing.
Door prize drawing will take place at 6:30 and you must be
present to win.
Business Owners and Service Professionals - bring a promotional
product or gift with your business card on it and we'll include
that in our door prize drawing! Get a shout out in front of a
large crowd! Lorie Bruck from Promotions Plus and Lia Sophia
Jewelry (515-577-1418) already dropped off a $100 Lia Sophia gift

FAQ’s – Identity Theft
Q: My wife is a different person since her headaches started
happening daily. What can we do?
A: We all know someone whose identity: "great parent," "loving
spouse," "strong worker," or "forever-youthful athlete" has been
stolen away and replaced with a new one: "headache sufferer," "low
back pain victim," "carpal tunnel hostage," or "injured-shoulder
drain on society." They have resigned themselves to their fate and
feel no hope of having their original identity restored.
At Compass Chiropractic
we fight identity theft daily. Patients are amazed when an
incredibly thorough examination rapidly apprehends the causes of
their condition. A plan is then formed to rapidly restore their
health and identity with the most advanced non-surgical, non-drug,
condition-resolving treatments available.
For dysfunctional joints (132 joints in the spine alone) which
often cause back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sciatica (pain
down the leg) specific hands-on or gentle, instrument-assisted
adjustments are used to restore normal motion and joint function.
Patented, highly-effective Active Release Techniques address scar
tissue and nerve irritation which cause conditions such as carpal
tunnel syndrome, shoulder pain, hip pain, and knee pain.
Problem-specific exercises and stretches address the muscular
causes of ongoing low back pain and shoulder instability.
Guaranteed semi-flexible custom orthotics address dysfunctional
foot arches and resulting joint stress which cause foot, knee,
hip, and low back pain.
We are thrilled to share that we frequently win the fight against
identity theft. If you know someone whose identity has been
stolen, please direct them to the identity theft experts at
Compass Chiropractic, where a complimentary consultation is always
available to learn more about our care options.
Condition of the Month – Shoulder Pain
Patients with shoulder pain report that it affects every area of
their life. Activities like putting on clothes, lifting
groceries, and giving a loved one a hug cannot be taken for
granted anymore, as pain is felt with every movement. Athletes
with shoulder pain are often faced with the options of quitting
the passion of their life, or going through a higher risk surgical
procedure with no guarantee of a return to full function.
At Compass Chiropractic,
a thorough examination reveals the causes of shoulder pain and
limited range of motion. A plan is formed to restore normal
shoulder function and pain-free living. Highly effective
treatments including specific adjustments and Active Release
Techniques are used to address all the causes of the problem. It
is so rewarding to hear stories of how our care has enabled
patients to return to their normal, healthy lives.
