Happy Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving is a time of reflection. It is a time to remember those who first celebrated the true meaning of this day. It is a time to remember the friends who mean the most to us, friends like you.
Among the many things we have to be thankful for is our health and the resources to maintain and improve it. As the year draws to an end, it is our heartfelt wish that we continually contribute to your health and happiness. We encourage both you and your loved ones to receive regular chiropractic and nutritional care.
As a means of expressing our thanks to you, we are offering the opportunity for you to give this letter to a family member or friend who may use it for a complete chiropractic or nutritional evaluation and report of findings. The total value is up to $140. The expiration date is December 16, 2011. Due to scheduling, there are a limited number of appointments available. Call us at (781) 942 – 7121 to take advantage of our Thanksgiving gift to you. All that we ask in exchange is a donation of new household items. (Like…pots, pans, pillows, pillow cases, twin sheets, blankets/comforters and towels). The household items will be donated to our local Mission of Deeds.
