Chronic Pain Ruining Your Life? Advanced Back and Neck Pain Solutions Now Available FOR THE TREATMENT OF CHRONIC AND SEVERE DISC RELATED CONDITIONS
How Does Decompression Work?
Non-surgical Spinal Decompression is a pain free procedure designed to relieve pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves. As pressure builds inside the disc it causes bulging of the gelatinous material inside the disc. This jellylike tissue can be placed under so much pressure that it can cause the annulus, or outer band of the disc, to rupture. When the disc has ruptured or ‘herniated’, it may create pressure against one or more of the spinal nerves which can cause pain, weakness or numbness in the neck or back that can radiate into the legs or arms. Non-surgical Decompression creates negative pressure within the disc, causing the herniation to be drawn slowly back into the disc space, thus relieving the pressure, as it rehydrates the disc. Midway through the treatment protocol, the formation of Collagen begins to take place in and around the disc. These ‘sticky’ cells have the ability to form other cells including chondroblasts or baby cartilage cells. These cells help the disc to heal.
WHAT IF YOUR DOCTOR WERE TO SAY TO YOU: “Congratulations, I have great news! There is a way to treat your back or neck pain without having to undergo surgery. This FDA cleared technology is non-invasive, pain free and drug free. There are no needles or anesthesia. It can be done on an outpatient basis and it has proven to be very successful. Thousands of patients have been treated successfully using this technique. And the cost of the treatment is a fraction of what you would pay if you were to undergo surgery. In fact, it is probably significantly less than or equal to the out of pocket expenses if surgery was deemed necessary.” This scientific discovery is called Non-surgical Spinal Decompression and it is available at Albrecht Chiropractic / West Michigan Spinal Decompression. It is considered a viable and reliable alternative to surgery in many cases. This unique procedure is becoming widely regarded as the most efficient way and cost-effective approach to treating herniated discs, spinal stenosis, disc degeneration, and sciatica. It is a pain free procedure designed to relieve pressure that builds up on the discs and nerves.
Why Manage Pain When You Could Live Pain Free?
We see patients who have tried various alternatives to manage their pain such as purchasing a new mattress, exercise therapy or pain medications because they think there is a possibility that their pain will go away over time and their condition will resolve on its own. If the pain that you are experiencing is due to muscle strain or stress, then these types of therapies may work for you. But if you suffer from chronic and severe back or neck pain due to disc related conditions of the spine, then it is highly likely that your condition will require a more aggressive disc procedure.
What Is A Decompression Session Like?
Typical patients find spinal decompression to be a relaxing, painless procedure that in most cases can be completed in a few weeks on an outpatient basis. The procedure is performed with the patient fully clothed and is safe, painless and extremely effective. In fact, it is not uncommon for patients to fall asleep during the procedure. Each session has a cumulative effect designed to significantly reduce pain and improve function as patients progress through the decompression program.
Pain Relief Without Risky Side Effects
When you’re in pain getting the right treatment is what’s most important. We will design a comprehensive treatment program that focuses on your specific condition utilizing the latest technological advancements in Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression, core strengthening, and pain relieving therapies. Our goal is to treat the source of your pain, so that you can get back to living a normal and pain free life again!

What Are Patients Saying? I am a senior citizen who likes to stay active, but last summer I fell and ran my head into a steel garage door and received severe neck pain. I had an MRI taken and they found several damaged discs in my neck. I have also had trouble with lower back pain and numbness in my toes for the past several years and an MRI of that area showed multiple damaged discs in my low back as well. I went to several Dr.’s and specialists with each of them taking weeks or months to schedule me and then even longer to get any results and none of them had any answers for my pain. They just talked and talked. I then went to Laser and Spine Institute in Cleveland and had appointments scheduled to have laser spine surgery for both my neck and low back which was going to cost me well over $25,000 out of pocket. That’s when my daughter asked me why I didn’t see a chiropractor that went to her church. I said I didn’t believe in Chiropractors. She said what would it hurt to just go talk to him at least? I agreed to try it. I decided to make an appointment with Albrecht Chiropractic Office PC and got in within a matter of days. After talking to them and having x-rays taken, they found one leg to be shorter than the other and we decided to try a treatment. After that first treatment my feet were better. Then they told me about spinal decompression as an alternative to the surgery for both my neck and low back. It was only a fraction of the cost so I decided to try it. Now I am 100% pain free in both my back and neck. I feel the best that I have in years. I don’t like to eat my words, but I am now a firm believer of chiropractic and Dr. Darl and Dr. Seth Albrecht. I would recommend this office to anyone with back or neck pain. - Larry W Leister Sr. 06/18

WE CAN STOP Higher taxes! Now the current Otsego City Commissioners are wanting to put on the August 2nd and or November 8th ballot a proposal to change the city charter from 12.5 mills to 15 mills. This action would be permanent. Many citizens have attended the commission meetings asking and telling the current commissioners to take a serious look at the city budget to cut out the fat. There CAN be cuts and keep our essential workers in place as is!
Workshops are for public input, information, and comments. We have been (and will continue) attending meetings and have not seen the current city comissioners interested in or recommending or having the desire for any budget reductions. If you would like to know what to do next, please consider: 1. Ask for more information or volunteer to help inform others. Please call 269-377-8075 or email nickbreedveld@gmail.com 2.

“A LIVING HOPE”
“Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade” - I Peter 1:3, 4 (NIV) By Rev. Dan Minor
revdminor1945@gmail.com _____________________________________

Is there any hope for our war-torn world? The answer in the Bible is a resounding YES! Hope in the New Testament is directly linked to our Lord’s resurrection from the dead. Suffering is temporary, hope is eternal (I Corinthians 15:19).
The letter of I Peter was addressed to first century Christians who were being persecuted and put to death because of their faith. They probably wondered if God had abandoned them. Into this setting, Apostle Peter wrote a letter of hope to them. As believers, we have much to be grateful for. 1. We are People of Hope.
On Easter afternoon, our living Christ joined in conversation with two of His followers as they walked the lonely road to Emmaus. They had experienced something we have all experienced: sorrow (Luke 24:13-35). They did not recognize Him at first. During their conversation, their eyes were opened to His living presence. They went from being hopeless to being hope-filled. 2. We believe in Hope Beyond the Grave.
As a pastor, I have conducted hundreds of funerals. In each one I have tried to offer a glimpse of the living Christ because His resurrection is our only hope for eternal life (I Corinthians 15:12-19).
3. We will see our Loved Ones Again. This was demonstrated in the postresurrection appearances of Jesus Christ. They walked with Him, talked with Him, ate with Him and worshipped Him. 4. Jesus is the key to Heaven. I lift up a memory of the late Cyndi Trobeck. As a member of the District Committee on Lay Speaking (United Methodist Church), she invited me to teach a class on preaching. I once asked why we always met in our church rather than far from home. She responded, “It’s the only church I have a key to.” Now the doorway to Heaven has been opened to her (John 10:7) and the angels are rejoicing! One day the mysteries of life will be made known to us (I Corinthians 13:12). In the meantime, we will wait with patience and hope (Hebrews 11:1).
Prayer: Thank you God for the gift of hope. In Your strong name. Amen.

I DARE YOU TO BE LOVED... When people listen, God speaks. When people obey, God acts. When God acts, people change. Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. Psalm 118:1 It was the first day of the week. Mary Magdalene came to the grave early in the morning while it was still dark. She saw that the stone had been pushed away from the grave. She ran to Simon Peter and the other follower whom Jesus loved. She said to them, “They have taken the Lord out of the grave. We do not know where they have put Him.” John 20:1-2 REFLECTION: The life, death, and most importantly, the resurrection of Jesus Christ changed every western society. Jesus planted the love of God into the existing culture and it spread like wild fire. The idea of a person having immortality is beyond the realm of our consciousness, but that is exactly what Jesus taught. Every Easter morning since, Christians celebrate Jesus’ victory over the grave. PRAYER TIME: Gracious God, I give thanks and praise you for the love you send me. You have sent your one and only Son to me. He is good and faithful, and His love endures forever. I will sing praises to Him all the days of my life. In Jesus’ Name I pray, Amen.

OZZIE ...is friendly
ADOPTABLE Pet of the Week! and easy going.
He enjoys being loved up and always gets happy to see people he knows. He is a serious treat hound and surely would be up for sharing some pizza and hanging out on the couch watching a movie. A mellow, quieter home where he can have a good mix of play and relaxation time would be awesome! Ozzie is 3.5 years old and weighs approximately 60 pounds. He could join a home with another easy going dog. If there is already a dog in the home, a meet and greet will be set up to make sure the dogs are a good match. Although Ozzie could live with another dog, he will need a cat free home. It is recommended that any children in his forever home are 8 years old and up. Adopt Ozzie and you will add a great, loving dog to your home. To fill out an online adoption application for Ozzie, visit:

Robert POWERS
Glenda ROGERS
A service celebrating the life of Robert Franklin Powers will be held at 11:00 am on Tuesday, April 19, 2022 at the Otsego United Methodist Church. Pastor Joe Shaler officiating. Burial will follow at Mountain Home Cemetery. Bob was born to Donald and Eva (Corrie) Powers on May 4, 1938 in South Haven, Michigan. In 1950 the Powers family relocated to a farm just north of Otsego and Bob graduated from Otsego High School as part of the class of 1956. On November 20, 1959 he married the love of his life, Brenda Grauman and together they raised four children. Although he was a man of few words and a bit of a solitudinarian, Bob was a great presence in the lives of those he loved. He will be missed immensely by the family who felt his constant calming presence; witnessed his example of a powerful, loving marriage; were the recipients of his never-ending patience, and were on the receiving end of his dry sense of humor and good-natured practical jokes. He is survived by his children, Jeff (Mary) Powers of Grand Rapids, Jerrie (Tom) Matthews, Sherrie (Larry) Town and Tim (Susan) Powers all of Otsego; 12 grandchildren, Ashley, (Richard) Humphries, Brian Powers, Andrea (Derek) Schwab, Matt Matthews, Kevin (Melissa) Matthews, Jenna (Matthew) Leyndyke, Bobby Matthews (Alexandra Bennett), Aric (Lindsey) Town, Adam Town, Veronica Powers, Jessica Powers and Sabrina Powers; and 19 great grandchildren, and sisters Linda (Tom) Nash and Mary Powers. Robert was preceded in death by his parents, his wife Brenda, brothers James, Ron and Don. Bob and Brenda’s adopted pets brought a great amount of pleasure and comfort to their lives. For those wishing to make a contributions in memory of Bob please consider the Pet Resource Network of Otsego or to Christian Neighbors.
