“A Doctor’s Confession to Geauga County”

By Dr. Tad Roediger

MY CONFESSION IS… I want to help ease the burden of today’s health care system that is overburdened. We at Roediger Chiropractic are helping people with their stress of aches and pains, unrelated to COVID-19, by treating the spine and nervous system through conservative chiropractic care.

We are here for our patients and those new patients looking for help. Let’s see if chiropractic can help your problem during this stressful time. We at Roediger Chiropractic are essential to the health and wellness of Geauga County and follow the recommended guidelines for cleaning and social distancing.

I know what it’s like to live with constant pain. As a sophomore on the University of New Hampshire football team, I developed sciatica; an excruciating condition that caused sharp pain in my leg and lower back. I was unable to play football anymore and the pain was so bad that at times it was difficult for me to even walk or concentrate. I was told surgery was the only option to alleviate the condition, but even after undergoing surgery, the pain persisted.

On the advice of a friend, I decided to see a chiropractor. After the initial examination, the chiropractor was able to determine that I had several bones out of alignment in my spine, and that they were putting pressure on the nerves in my back. The situation was serious, but after a few treatments I noticed the pain had decreased and I felt better overall. Over time the chiropractic treatments allowed my body to heal itself naturally!

MY OTHER CONFESSION IS … I help people live their lives as they are intended to live. What I do is perform a gentle spinal treatment to alleviate nerve pressure without any ‘twisting’ or ‘popping’, and the body responds by healing itself. It’s as simple as that! I have helped thousands of people with a variety of health problems.

It’s strange how life is. Now people come to see me with their low back and sciatic problems. They also come to me with their headaches, migraines, chronic pain, neck pain, shoulder /arm pain, numbness in limbs, whiplash from car accidents, backaches, ear infections, asthma, allergies, sports injuries, just to name a few.

My wife, Sharon, suffered for years with migraine headaches. She took ibuprofen everyday. We found her migraines were from misaligned vertebrae in her neck, we adjusted them, now she rarely has migraines.

Ty, our son, gets checked weekly to make sure his growing spine and body are working at its best.

Page 2

WHAT SETS ME APART ... in the chiropractic field is my use of the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique (AMCT); a treatment system that utilizes a small hand-held instrument that applies a quick, low-force, gentle chiropractic treatment directly to the source of your pain to alleviate nerve pressure to allow the body to heal itself.

Here’s what some of my patients had to say: “For years I walked with a limp and suffered pain in my right hip and knee. I read the article about Dr. Roediger and thought, ‘Who else would be better to try to help me?’ So I made the call and scheduled an appointment. Now I’m able to do more walking and to exercise. I’m looking forward to playing golf in the spring”. William H “After years of suffering, I scheduled an appointment at Roediger Chiropractic. After a week of treatment, I was able to walk and swim without sciatic pain. My quality of life improved significantly.” -Brenda R. S TO P L I V I N G W I T H PHYSICAL PAIN! Chiropractic treatment is very affordable and highly effective. Take advantage of a LIMITED TIME OFFER! Call 440-285-0756 before March 17, 2021 to receive the complete initial exam for only $17 (this includes consultation, exam, paraspinal scan and two x-rays of the problem area if needed).

I am here to help you reach your health care goals as quickly as possible. Treatment in my office is affordable whether you have insurance or not. My adjustment fee is only $42. You don’t have to miss a half day’s work to receive treatment.

Now is the time to take care of that ache or pain, improve your quality of life, and take care of your most valuable asset … YOU! Call ROEDIGER CHIROPRACTIC at 440-285-0756 today.
