Patient Testimonials

Acid Reflux – Ellie   Clive, Iowa

“Three years ago I fell.  From then on I slowly began to fall apart.  One day I noticed a callus on my foot.  I could not get rid of it.  After three years I went to a foot doctor who said my gate was off.  He removed the callus and within two weeks it grew back.

For years I suffered from acid reflux, becoming unbearable.  I decided it was time to see a doctor, a different doctor.  I had many tests without any results.  They said everything looked good.  But my reflux was getting worse.

I began losing sleep, and developed back, leg and knee pain, and my hands became weak.  At night I would lie in bed and wonder what was happening to me.  I was always healthy and active, and now I was slowly falling apart.

A friend referred me to Dr. Vince Hassel.  He has made a difference and turned my life around.  My first adjustment was a great success, and my back and knee pain was gone.  Within two months my acid reflux was gone, and my callus was shrinking.

I totally recommend chiropractic care 100%.  Dr. Hassel has helped me get back to living a healthy and active normal life.”

Isaac- age 6     Des Moines, Iowa

Between birth and 1 year of age, Isaac had 5 ear infections and at 1 year his pediatrician suggested tubes.  Someone recommended Dr. Hassel to us.  Since Isaac turned 1, we would take Isaac to Dr. Hassel anytime his ears would flare up (or any illness), and with the adjustments Isaac’s body was able to fight them away without medicine.  His ears didn’t give him ANY trouble after seeing Dr. Hassel.

Now we bring both our kids (Isabel’s first adjustment was when she was 4 days old) and have never been more pleased knowing Dr. Hassel’s main interest is the health of our family- whatever it takes.  He has even met us after hours if we desperately needed the help.

Thank you Dr. Hassel

Low back pain extending into my legs (severe)   Chris  West Des Moines, Iowa

When my hip would go out I was unable to walk at all.  I could not work and the pain was incapacitatin.  I went to a local chiropractor who attempted to correct the problem every day for a week.  Unfortunately the treatment was not helping. I was beginning to get scared.  A friend referred me to Dr. Hassel, I was reluctant but needed something different.  After my first adjustment with Dr. Hassel my pain was greatly reduced AND I now understood what my problem was because he took the time to expain and show me exactly what my problem was.

Since my initial treatments with Dr. Hassel, I have returned to work and not missed a day due to my hip.  I now come in only to maintain my health and a piece of mind.

I attribute my greatly improved health (sinuses better too) to Dr. Hassel’s concern for my well being.  This is what sets him apart from the others.

Carpal Tunnel and Migraines   Liz   Urbandale, Iowa

My major reason for trying chiropractic was because I tried massage and medication for both of my problems without satisifaction in my results.  I was considering surgery for my carpal tunnel, when a co-worker suggested chiropractic care.  I had nothing to loose so I decided to give it a try but I came in a little skeptical.

Progress is an understatement!  I have not had any carpal probelms or migraines that used to put me in bed (or the bathroom) since I started my adjustments with Dr. Hassel.  It took some consistent care for a few weeks but a minor trade off for a lifetime of results.

Now I am such an advocate for a natural and sensible solution to health which is crazy because I was such a skeptic to start with. I would suggest to everyone to ask about ANY problems you or a family member may have, chances are you’ll get an answer.

Thank you  so much Dr. Hassel

Some people search in vain to find a doctor who sincerely cares about helping people get well, in the healthiest way possible.  A doctor who demonstrates honest enthusiasm and joy with the healing process taking place and with helping patients learn how to get well, stay well, and live healthy.  A doctor who even gets frustrated with an industry whose motivation for multi-billion dollar profits has the negative impact of making sure patients never get healthy.  And whose motivation for multi-billion dollar profits push them to influence patients to deal with all their helath needs by consuming harmful chemicals instead of teaching people to trust in the intelligence and ability of their own body’s capacity to heal itself.

People search in vain to find a doctor who is so incredibly competent, knowledgable, and personable that a patient anxiously looks forward to each visit.

Well anyone who has the good fortune to find or be referred to Dr. Vincent Hassel can stop searching- he is all that and more.

We are so glad we found you!

Origianlly I was visiting Hassel Family Chiropractic for my low back pain.  When I told Dr. Hassel that I wasn’t feeling well with flu symptoms of congestion, aching, coughing, and felt plain lousy he adjusted me and suggested supplements and nutrition that would help.

He adjusted me twice that day and the next and I started to feel better right away.  All those symptoms were gone in no time and I was back to full strength.

Dr. Hassel is truly a caring person and loves to help in any way he can.

Thank you Dr. Hassel for teaching me about true health.

Steve     West Des Moines, Iowa

I couldn’t get off of the floor due to the pain in my low back.  I had never felt pain like this in my life.  After an x-ray at the emergency room the ER doc told me to stay on my back until it got better.  This might take 6 weeks I was told.  I contacted Dr. Hassel who began treating me.  This was my first chiropractic experience.  Dr. Hassel opened his office 2x daily over Labor Day Weekend to take care of me.  Within the week I was walking and the pain was significantly reduced.  I was able to return to work by the middle of the week.

8 months later and no reoccurance, following docs treatment regimine, I now come in for monthly maintenance noly.

Dr. Hassel really gave of himself at a time when I could barely move and barely function.

Thank you,

Steve

Marilyn       Clive, Iowa

The major reason that I tried chiropractic was that I was getting nowhere with the medical doctors.  My major symptoms were tension, pain in between my shoulder blades, an an old injury in my ankle and foot.

The progress that I have made since I started with Dr. Hassel has been incredible!  Ankle and foot are vastly improved (flexibility, strength, lack of pain),  upper back and neck need regular adjustments, but pressure headahces are GONE.  Energy level is up and general well-being in greatly improved.

Chiropractic amazes me with its ability to fine-tune the whole system and improve my general health.

Thank you,

Marilyn

Casidy  10 months

Thank you Dr. Hassel for taking such great care of Casidy and educating me on real health. Casidy is my 10 month old baby girl. She had been fighting ear infections off and on for the last 5 months. She had been treated during every infection with different antibiotics beginning with amoxicillin for the first infection. When I finally brought her to Dr. Hassel I was at the my wits end. She had now been diagnosed with bronchiolitis, asthma, and bilateral ear infection. She was now on her sixth antibiotic and now a steroid nebulizer. OMG her breathing was so bad. Dr. Hassel started adjusting her and within one week the ears were clear her breathing was not labored any more and she has just a touch of rattle sound left in her sinuses. I am so happy and thankful that I tried a new approach for her heath because she was only getting worse with the drugs.

Thanks again!

Rebecca   Urbandale IA

Amazing. After running my fifth Dam to Dam I woke up with severe low back pain and nerve pain that was running down my right leg. I could not even get our of bed I was in sooo much pain. I started calling chiropractors our of the yellow pages with no answers since it was Sunday. When I called Dr. Hassel’s office he answered the phone!! He just happened to be in the office taking care of someone else that was not doing well. I was so relieved when he told me that he could see me that same Sunday morning. Dr. Hassel actually adjusting me that morning and then had me come back in Sunday night at 7 o’clock to be aggressive with my recovery. He sent me home with icing and exercise instructions. When I woke up on Monday morning I was 75% better then the day before. I was adjusted twice on Monday and my pain was all gone. I am so thankful for Dr. Hassel being there for me in a very desperate time and being so willing to help even on a Sunday.

Thank you Dr. Hassel

Jamie  Clive, Iowa

I cannot thank Dr. Hassel enough for what he has done for me and my family. I first went to Dr. Hassel with a migraine heahache that I had constantly for four months. I was treated medically by several specialists. I had been put on 18 different medications over the four month time frame as the MD’s were trying to help me with the daily misery. I had cat scans, MRIs, spinal tap, blood work, etc. When my co-worker referred me to Dr. Hassel I was at the end of my rope. Dr. Hassel analyzed me and told me that I had subluxations of my T3 and C1. He adjusted me at the T3 bone the first and second day. On the third day he was able to adjust my C1 because he said my T3 was holding its adjustment. On the fourth day he adjusted C1 bone again. After the adjustment that day my headache started to get better. On Friday, he chose not to adjust me when I went for that appointment because the instrument he uses showed that the nerve pressure was better. My headaches are gone!! Thank you
