•.•Please help us give a shout out to our January patient of the month, Michelle. •.•Take a minute to read her heartfelt testimonial after signing up for our one of a kind knee program with Dr. Brad. After ONE treatment, she reports walking out of the office feeling 50% better than when she walked in. No more cortisone injections or surgery needed for her! Here are her exact words!

​“I honestly had hymned and hawed about contacting a chiropractor with my knee issues. I am 50 plus years old, special education teacher with four children and a variety of hobbies. I had suffered a knee injury at work and pain was unbearable before and after a repair to my meniscus. The preceding doctor recommended additional cortisone injections and said he would put money on seeing me within 6 months for total knee replacement. WHAT?
​It was at this point I stopped scrolling past the Facebook post regarding a knee treatment and consultation. I sent a message and an email that day. I was contacted by Morgan almost immediately, from Handeland Chiropractic Office to set up a consult. The next week, with less than great expectations and feeling tons of doubt I traveled to Clarkfield for an appointment that literally changed my perception of pain and care plans within minutes.
​Dr. Brad and his therapist took x-rays. But, even before that I was shown a spectrum of knee degeneration and damage. I was explained the progression of those photos and what happens to our knees and bodies as we age. Dr. Brad told me exactly where on that spectrum I would have to be if he felt that his treatment plan could help or not. The transparency and honest conversation about helping me was much appreciated. After my x-rays, he went through them and explained my knees to the ones in the picture progression that hung on the wall. He then asked me if I thought he could help me. Still doubting a bit, I said based on what I am seeing “I think so”. He then said, “yes, I agree, I think I can help you too”.
​The first consultation, exam, and treatment had me walking out of his office with 50% less pain then I had walked in with. I also for the first time in over a year, since my knee injury, was walking straight. My legs were the same length. I remember Makayla, the therapist, saying “wait, I want to be down the hallway when you walk out so I can see your face”. I’m like okay? I was still getting unhooked from the decompression machine. So I waited until she said she was ready. I literally stood up, smiled from ear to ear, as I could walk straight and had minimal pain walking out of that consultation.
​I took the step that day to invest in myself and went back to get the care plan from Dr. Brad. I invested in not having total knee replacement! I invested in a program that brought me from daily pain killers, sleepless nights, and a decreased quality of life to having a whole new outlook just 3 months later.
​Invest in you! After just one treatment you will begin to gain back all the things you want to do and enjoy. Your quality of life will regain strength and motivation. Pain relief and healing is huge! One thing we just can’t put a price on is our health and quality of life!
​Thank you Dr. Brad and the entire staff at Handeland Chiropractic!

Michelle Zepeda – Mother, Teacher, Gardener, Naturist, and wanna be Rock Star at age 51!”

Thanks for putting your trust in us Michelle! We are so happy your quality of life is so much better and you are back doing the things the you enjoy!

▪️Help us give a heartfelt congratulations, to our November patient of the month Dean▪️

Dean struggled for many years and was losing hope. He found us and committed to our Neuropathy Reversal Program and his results speak for themselves! Please see his testimonial below!!

“My name is Dean I am 64 years old. I am married and I have 3 daughters, 3 sons-in-law, and 5 grandchildren. I have worked with agriculture my whole life. I love to grow plants - ag and otherwise. I spend lots of time on my feet. I have done quite a bit of singing - especially in church. Another hobby both my wife and I enjoy is collecting and refurnishing antique furniture. We have reached the point of not being able to do this much anymore – our home is full!
My foot trouble started with plantar fasciitis about 15 years ago. This gradually turned into Peripheral Neuropathy in my left foot, then my right. I took many trips to the Dr and was told over and over that there was “nothing they could do”. It was getting harder and harder to walk any distance. I also had some hip and lower back symptoms. I experienced occasional pain in my feet, but mostly numbness, and it was never life altering. It was just plain scary to wonder where I would end up if it continued worsening.
I was somewhat reluctant to invest the time and money it would take to treat my feet. But I took the plunge, and it has been an amazing experience to have the feeling come back in my calves and my feet. I would love to do more traveling and perhaps now we will be able to. I guess I’m still 64 years old... but I don’t feel 84 anymore!
I was really helped by Dr. Handeland. Not only is it easier to get around and do what I have to do, but I want to do more things that require walking, which I used to avoid. I also have more energy and am in a much better mood.”

Dean, we are very honored to serve you!

•.•Knee Pain!?!•.•Not anymore for Derrick! Please help us congratulate our October patient of the
month! He came to us with severe knee pain and
immobility that was severely limiting his everyday life.
After the typical healthcare approach, he received no
help and was told surgery was his only option. He
was not ready for this and committed to our one of a
kind knee program. We will let his testimonial speak
his success ••Goodbye surgery!

“My name is Derrick. I am 42 years old & I am married with 3 children. I am a retired Military Veteran. I currently work as a Maintenance Technician at an Assisted Living facility. I am also the Chief of the Canby Fire Department, of which I have been a member for over 18 years. My family & I live on a farm outside of Canby where we have cattle, goats & chickens. Youth sports is one of my passions & all of my kids are very active in sports. I have also had the pleasure of coaching them in some of those activities. Between work, the Fire Department, the farm & sports, my wife & I stay very busy.
I tore my ACL, MCL & Meniscus at a military training event about 10 years ago. I was able to rehab back to where I could operate, but not at 100%. Over the last 5 years my knee pain & swelling got increasingly worse. Ultimately, it was what ended my military career. I had been to Orthopedic Specialists who told me surgery was my only option. However, they decided I was too young for surgery & said my only option was to “deal with it” for the next 10 years. I didn’t have the energy to do anything after work & I was in constant pain... That’s when I heard about Dr. Brad.
After the first visit I left feeling better. By 3 visits, I felt better than I had in 10 years. It is hard to describe the absence of pain after being in pain so long. Things like taking a step up into a doorway and going up & down ladders used to be a painful, slow, one step at a time process. Now I can do these things relatively pain free. I am getting my range of motion back & gaining strength in my leg again. I have the energy to go to sports, work out, & enjoy the things I used to do, without any pain!
100% yes, I would recommend this program. Honesty; Dr. Brad told me up front if he would or would not be able to help me. Thorough; He keeps me informed of what he is doing & also why he is doing it, explaining every step. No meds. No surgery. I am not big on pain-masking meds & everything Dr. Brad does is natural. I am hopeful I will never need surgery. Best Decision Ever!”

We appreciate you Derrick! Enjoy your new quality of life!

Please help us congratulate Stephanie as our next patient of the month! She has dealt with chronic pain to her knees for years. She decided to take a leap of faith and this is her story.
"I'm Stephanie, I teach Physical Education & Health at Marshall High School, and coach girls' basketball as well. I am married and have two kids. I enjoy working out, gardening, reading, golfing, baking and coaching basketball in my spare time. Before coming to Dr. Handeland, I had constant knee pain, swelling and stiffness in my knees. This limited my ability to do things that I enjoy doing, so I just did not do them anymore because of the pain. During the initial treatment, I still had good and bad days. Then at about 3 weeks, everything started getting better. I am now 3 months out from my treatment and my knees have not felt this good in years!!! I am able to work out pain free and not stiff in the morning. I feel wonderful!!! I would highly recommend this program to anyone, for these reasons: 1:)Dr. Handeland does an amazing job explaining the while process and what is going to happen. 2:) You will feel better than you have in years. 3: ) The ability to move pain free at the age of 50 and do things I love again is awesome. 4: ) The cost of this program is pennies compared to the pain and possibility of knee replacement surgery in the future. "

Thanks Stephanie for putting your trust in us and committing to our unique approach to health.

When you are ready to change your life, just like Stephanie did, give us a call!

Let’s give a big shout out to our most recent •.•patient of the month•.• Mrs. Vickie S.

Vickie came to us with peripheral neuropathy symptoms. She is now doing AMAZING. What we do, may be able to help you too, which is why she is excited to share her story!

“I have been dealing with neuropathy for the past 10 years, but the last 4 years has been the most severe as far as my symptoms go. It was limiting me from doing just about everything. I saw a previous post on your page of Jerry’s testimonial, and thought to myself if he can do it, I can do it! My symptoms were aching from head to toe, cramping, restless legs, tingling, numbness, imbalance, and troubles sleeping. I was taking 3 Gabapentin per day . It was time for a change and I started treatment with Dr. Brad and his staff. After 12 weeks, a majority of my symptoms have subsided. I’m in a better mood, and have more independence. I don’t ache anymore or have sharp pains and also get a much better nights sleep. I no longer am taking 3 gabapentin, and am hopeful for future activities like gardening, bus trips, and camping and getting back to the things I once loved. I would definitely recommend Dr. Brad and his program!!!!!”

Thank you so much Vickie for reaching out. We are grateful!

The second picture is proof that this program works! Vickie’s blood flow in her lower extremities before treatment and 12 weeks into it. Red is what you want to see, as red =blood flow. THIS IS A HUGE IMPROVEMENT in just this short amount of time!

•.•Dan Larson is one of our many knee patients that is having AMAZING results with our knee program. Here is what he has to say!
•.•After months of knee pain and seeing an orthopedic surgeon, my knee was always in pain and the surgeon recommended that I have a knee replacement. While seeing Dr. Brad for monthly maintenance on my low back, I asked him about my knee pain. Dr. Brad has always been very honest and thorough. He recommended that I try their miracle quadrant knee program. Prior to treatment, I was not able to bend my leg fully because of my knee pain. After my first treatment, my knee was already improving, and I was able to bend my knee! I have continued this program, and I can now say I no longer have pain and am more flexible than I have been in a long time! I am truly amazed how amazing my knee feels! The best thing yet, is I no longer have to think about having a knee replacement!!! I would recommend Dr. Brad to everyone! Thanks again Dr. Brad, for saving my knee!

•.•CONGRATULATIONS to Dan, so glad we could help you out! If you too, are struggling with knee pain or problems, give us a call!

Help us give a big congratulations to our January patient on the month, Sheryl W.

•.•Sheryl came to us with chronic low back and hip pain that was limiting her everyday life. She committed to our treatment plan, and we will let her testimonial speak to her success•.•

“I started going to Handeland Chiropractic mid-November 2021. I had low back and hip pain with difficulty walking for any distance. Dr. Handeland explained my lumbar MRI and hip X-Ray reports to me, which hasn’t been done in that detail before. He put me on a program of adjustments, decompression, and laser treatments. Dr. Handeland determined right away that my psoas muscle was also very tight causing some on my issues. With the weekly stretching he did of this muscle it has loosened up tremendously and I have had relief. My low back pain is much better now, and the distance I can walk without pain has increased due to the treatment plan he put me on. I continue to do daily stretching so I won’t go backwards. Dr. Handeland does a very good job educating as he treats, which I appreciate. His staff Whitney, Makayla, and Stacy are wonderful to work with as well!

•••Jerry came to us with severe neuropathy, jumped on board with our program, and is excited to share his story! •••

“I had an infection in my big toe, that was not healing. I ended up needing to have it amputed. I was having constant foot pain, imbalance and numbness in my feet. It was becoming difficult to walk. I did not feel safe at work because I had to climb ladders, and since I couldn’t feel my feet, I wasn’t comfortable with doing so. Since I went through the neuropathy program at Handeland Chiropractic, the constant pain in my feet is gone, and I have significantly more feeling in my feet and I am confident at work again! I would absolutely recommend Dr. Brad and his neuropathy program.” Jerry

On a side note, he said if there is any negative about the program, he laughed and said “if I stub my toe, or step on a pebble, I can now feel it.” “Never use to be able to.”

The second picture chart is an image of the blood flow in Jerry’s legs and feet. The left side of the picture is his blood flow before treatment and the right is 12 weeks into the program. Look at the huge improvement, red is what we want to see!
