Linda McKenzie, Seattle, Washington
Diagnosed at 20 with rheumatoid arthritis, Linda McKenzie now 40, could no longer work at 30.
"By the time I quit working, I hurt all the time. It took me forever to get out of bed and the rest of my day was a struggle to do anything, starting with brushing my teeth. I had the life quality of a blob."
Linda's pre-treatment x-rays showed scoliosis. Three weeks into care, she had her first complete night of sleep in 18 years. Fourteen months after starting The Pettibon System, Linda is shopping, cleaning, and cooking. "I treasure being able to do these mundane activities," says Linda. "The Pettibon System has given me back my life."

"I have been a chiropractor and reverent follower of Burl Pettibon for thirty years. His quest for the truth and willingness to challenge the status quo has thankfully brought us into the next generation of chiropractic knowledge and practice."
Shelia Homer, D.C., Long Beach, California
"I've been a chiropractor for 16 years but after three months of treating a
functionally-disabled family member using diversified chiropractic with limited
results, I knew it was time for a change. I reached out to a colleague who had
started using The Pettibon System. He diagnosed the problem as being
cervical in nature, which was contrary to what I had thought. It took less than
three weeks for a 50% improvement. Now as a Pettibon practitioner, I'm getting
the same results for my patients."
Mark Shelley, D.C., Edmonds, Washington
"With The Pettibon System, I'm treating patients with the certainty of real change as opposed to symptom relief. My years of feeling like a technician are over. It's challenging and fun."
Kevin Polzin, D.C., Mill Creek, Washington
"For me, the bottom line is truly producing what you're offering. The Pettibon System allows me to ethically deliver care. Patients 'get it!' Our practice is 99% referral. No more wasted weekends doing spinal screenings!"
Scott Mindel, D.C., Seattle, Washington
"Retention is no longer a problem. I may not be patients' first chiropractor but I'm definitely their last!"
Alexander Concepcion, D.C., Kailua, Hawaii
"Patients know how long their correction-rehabilitative care will take and how much it will cost, making my pre-pays extraordinary!"
Mark Morningstar, D.C., Grand Blanc, Michigan
"The Pettibon System has enabled me to build my practice through medical referrals. My clinic has a great working relationship with several area neurosurgeons, neurologists, OB/GYNs, and physiatrists."
Kerry L. Dillberg, D.C., Koloa, Hawaii
"With a degree in Chinese medicine, my care includes acupuncture and patented herbals. I also work with the neuro-emotional aspects of stress. The Pettibon System covers the physical stress components of the nerve system so magnificently. It's now become the foundation for my practice."
Nader Raffi, D.C., Toronto, Ontario
"After just one seminar, I knew there was no looking back. The Pettibon System forever changed my practice of chiropractic. I thank you, and more importantly, my patients thank you."
Patty Long, D.C., Meridianville, Alabama
"I've had scoliosis my entire life. 'Traditional' chiropractic helped somewhat but the changes—actual structural changes—with The Pettibon System have been amazing. Unlike what I had been taught, The Pettibon System is showing us that scoliosis CAN change in adulthood. Everyone associated with The Pettibon System has been top notch and truly invested in my success. Many thanks to all of you!"
Hope Black, patient
"The next step for me before starting care with Dr. Patty Long was to have my spine sawed in half and rods inserted. At the age of 10, I was diagnosed with scoliosis and fitted in a Milwaukee brace. I wore the brace for 3 years. A family friend talked with us about chiropractic care and I soon started seeing a chiropractor. The brace came off and I have been seeing a chiropractor for the last 27 years. My pain was never eased for any length of time.
When I was out-of-work for a week because my pain was getting worse, my boss recommended I see Patty. He told me she was using a new treatment called The Pettibon System. My pain started decreasing after only one week of care and my breathing was easier. Now I can sleep through the night and my clothes are starting to fit. My x-rays show that the scoliosis has decreased by 16 degrees. I know that my healing process has a long way to go but considering the alternative I faced, it's worth it.
Patty took me with her when she and her staff went to Gig Harbor for Spinal Technician/Team Training. I got to thank Dr. Pettibon in person!"
Susie Glaser, Tacoma, Washington
"I was rear-ended in a car accident. For a year and one-half, despite physical and massage therapy and adjustments, I still wasn't a whole lot better. We have five horses and I couldn't do anything with them. Even brushing them was too painful. Then doc (Michael Milasich) started me on The Pettibon System. I got back to a normal functioning life, including aerobics."
Jeremy Bucholtz, Tacoma, Washington
"I met Mike (Michael Milasich) when I was sixteen. I was driving with my grandfather who had an appointment with Mike. We got into an accident and Mike ended up treating me for whiplash. Now I'm 29 and two months ago, I slipped two discs. I couldn't even walk. Mike got me on The Pettibon System and I recovered in two months. Now I'm back to work."
Ron Van Hoof, MD, Peterborough, Ontario
"I have sent many patients to chiropractors over the years with mixed results. That's not been the case with Dr. Ian Horseman. With The Pettibon System, he's getting results with many of my toughest patients. The Pettibon System is the best approach I've seen for spine and posture rehabilitation. Hands down!"
Steve Masters, Peterborough, Ontario
"I'm what you'd call a weekend warrior, pushing my body to the extreme whether it's running or basketball. The credit for my ability to live such an active life goes to Dr. Horseman and The Pettibon System. I don't feel the wear and tear on my body because it has been strengthened and the curves in my neck and low back have been restored. I hope to continue this active lifestyle for many years to come."
Frank Lawless, Peterborough, Ontario
"Before starting The Pettibon System, I couldn't sit in a car for an extended period of time. After just six months, my golf game has improved, I can garden for hours, and sitting in a car is no problem. My wife and I are driving the 900 miles to the East coast next week. Thank you!"
Sandra Anderson, Bob Caygeon, Ontario
Seeing the pre and post x-rays was extremely powerful for me. I had years of seeing various chiropractors, massage therapists, and reflexologists, but only The Pettibon System changed my spine and corrected my problem. And I take great pride in the work I've done as a patient. The doctor and I are a team. As a result, I tell everybody: not all chiropractic is equal."
Lauren Ramey, Canadian National Ski Team hopeful — Peterborough, Ontario
"I've been seeing Dr. Horseman to not only restore the curve in my low back and neck, but to increase my core strength and flexibility. The Pettibon System is the only chiropractic care that really works. My coach has seen a 75 % improvement in my ability since I started plus I feel great."
Gord Birkens, Peterborough, Ontario
"I think The Pettibon System's concept of patient responsibility is something all health care models should adopt, focusing on change and correction, not just relief. Maintaining my exercises, wearing my headweight, and keeping appointments on a regular basis have made a huge impact in how successful I've been with the treatment plan."
Grace Horseman
"I like sitting on the special chair for me at my Daddy's office."
