Patient Testimonials
Prior to visiting Dr. Purtle, I lived with frequent almost daily neck pain and headaches. Dr. Purtle has found an effective treatment for me which has greatly improved my day to day life. I now have adjustments every three weeks. I have been under Dr. Purtle's care for approximately two years and I feel great in between my adjustments. Dr. Purtle has shown me stretching methods which help in addition to the adjustments. She always takes the time to explain and listen to my concerns. I am able to sleep better at night, play competitive sports and have an all around better quality of life due to chiropractic treatment. Thank you for all you do Dr. Purtle!

I have always been skeptical of chiropractic treatment. However, after a recent trip to the emergency room due to severe hip and back pain, I was ready to try chiropractic treatments. The doctor in the emergency room, after taking and reviewing my x-rays, simply gave me a pain shot and sent me on my way. No explanation was given to me for the pain. I knew traditional medicine was not going to help me. I have suffered with low back pain for many years, to the point where I was unable to drive or ride in a car for any length of time without severe pain. I was unable to complete household chores such as vacuuming, sweeping floors, laundry and even doing the dishes. I had to take rest periods every five minutes. I was unable to sleep through the night without waking up in pain. This had become an intolerable way to live.
Since coming to Dr. Purtle my life has changed a great deal. With her help, my energy has returned. I am able to complete household chores easily. Best of all, I have regained my freedom to drive or ride in a car. I have even taken several day trips with no problem. Thank you Dr. Purtle for all of your help and may God continue to bless the work you do.

I have always had trouble with horrible ear infections. Every year I would have one or two excruciatingly painful bouts. The last one resulted in the rupture of both ear drums. I mentioned this to Dr. Purtle and she suggested that getting my ears adjusted can alleviate the ear infections. Now I get my ears adjusted once a month and I have gone 18 months without a major infection. This means less pain and fever causing antibiotics for me; which definitely makes me a happy camper!

My chiropractor saved my live. 4 1/2 years ago I was almost not able to work anymore. I had a headache everyday and was sent to a neurologist by my medical doctor. At that time I was taking ibuprofen, a blood pressure medicine and Vioxx. The neurologist had me get a CAT scan, MRI, and 2 tests to check my heart. They didn't find anything wrong with me. Soon I was going to the hospital for shots of Dilaudid. Then I started taking Flexeril and Excedrin everyday, just to keep the pain to a minimum. Two years ago I started getting adjusted and within 2 weeks I got relief. Now I get adjusted about every 2-4 weeks. I have not had a headache like those I was having before I started getting adjusted. Now I don't take any medication.

In late October 2008 I started to experience severe leg and back pain. I started a treatment plan of chiropractic adjustment with Dr. Purtle in November of 2008. Sleeping and driving was a major issue. My medical doctor game me pain meds which helped a little. I continued chiropractic adjustments and noticed the pain was slowly going away. My medical doctor wanted me to get an MRI. I had an MRI in March of 2008 and the Neurosurgeon found a large disk herniation in my lower back and wanted to do a surgery but at that point I was already getting better so I decided against it for now. As of now I have no pain and I am able to work again.
