Auto Accidents

After having a car accident in January 2003, I was treated for soft tissue, nerve damage, and separated ribs in my chest. I was treated by 10 different doctors including physical therapists, massage therapists, an acupuncturist and other chiropractors; along with being prescribed painkiller and muscle relaxers. By a the time I moved to Minnesota in March 2004, I had been forced to give up hiking, horseback riding, and running. I also had reduced my workweek by 15 hours because of the pain. I was suffering from constant headaches and was taking the prescribed pain pills 4-5 times per week. I was told by at least three different doctors that I had reached maximum improvement and I could expect my current condition to be permanent.

In November 2004, I started treatment at Heartland Chiropractic Clinic. Within three months, my headaches were reduced in intensity and frequency and I no longer had chronic pain in my chest. I had reduced the dependency on the prescribed pain medication to only occasional use now, after eight months of treatment, I rarely experience headaches and have increased my exercise routine from just walking to now doing Slim Training and lifting weights.

Thanks to the care I’ve received from Dr. Kiefat, I now believe that the accident will not affect me for the rest of my life. Kristina Beitlich


After several years of high-speed accidents, racecar bang-ups, and falls from heights, I became used to the constant pain from “old injuries”. Until, I deteriorated to not being able to sit, stand, walk, sleep, or work. After my first treatment, I had IMMEDIATE relief! That included lung congestion I had no idea that could be related. Each treatment decreases my pain to the point I feel 20 years younger. Everything is easier. I can move, I have all kinds of energy, and I am cheerful all day!!!! How foolish to have been in pain all those years! Through excellent diagnosis, clear explanation, education, and precision adjustments, Dr. Kiefat and his friendly staff have made it a pleasurable experience. I can’t say enough! You have changed my life! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Benjamin Vageline
