As a wife, mother, a home maker and the Assistant Managing Director of Robert Ashie-Kotei Ventures and all the responsibilities I have, I really could not afford to limp through a slow painful life! I tried to adjust but the pain persisted. I consulted my doctor who prescribed pain killers. but the pain persisted.

My dear friend, Ms. Victoria Brakohiapa, on seeing how much I was suffering introduced me to the Chiropractic and Wellness Centres (CWC). I am so grateful that she did.

I started Chiropractic care early this year and I am so glad I did. After taking me through the evaluation process and computerized scan of my spine and nervous system, the doctor was able to identify the root cause of my condition. I started care soon after and since then the pain has reduced drastically. I can now walk without pain and I am enjoying living an active life once again! I have reclaimed my life from pain!
I love being on Chiropractic Care! I wish I knew about it earlier to have saved my late mother and other very close relatives!

CWC is just what I needed! I hate taking pills, since it's drug-free, I don't need to worry about any allergy reactions and any complications.

I absolutely love the workshops; they are so educative, fun, plus they include a little bit of exercises. You will find me at CWC's Asylum Down - Prestige Centre every Tuesday at 5pm without fail!
I think health is priceless! Thank you Dr. Marcus and your team!

I worked in a bank for nearly 27 years and I retired in August 2004. In the bank I rose to become head of department. As you can imagine a lot of my work involved sitting for long hours. Sometimes meetings would run from 9.30 – 4.30.

I used to do a lot of stretching; sometimes I would walk to see people instead of using my phone. Instead of asking my secretary to do things, I would go do them myself, just so that I could get some exercise. Sometimes I would take the stairs just to stretch and exercise my muscles. My career involved too much sitting.

I heard about CWC from a lady friend of mine, I go to church with. She had had problems with her posture and walking. One day I asked her how she is and she told me she is much better, thanks to CWC.

At that time I was in a lot of pain, in my arms, neck, back, lower back and I had no idea that the pains I was feeling had something to do with my spine. I first consulted a doctor who diagnosed me with Spindolosis. I was asked to wear a neck collar to support my neck, but I found wearing a neck collar to be extremely uncomfortable. I stopped wearing the daytime collar and opted to wear the evening collar which is supposed to be softer but I found it very uncomfortable too.

So when my friend introduced me to CWC I was happy.

When I was working, I only had some arm pain, but after retirement the pains became very severe and sometimes I would cry as the pain was excruciating. Since I started Chiropractic care early this year, I am no longer in pain! Having lived in pain for so long, the difference is very clear! I had had the arm pains for about five years.

Chiropractic is a very good form of treatment because it gets to a point where one takes too many drugs and we know almost all drugs we take have side effects. The tips we get are also very good eg the fact that “the body heals itself and that Chiropractic just assists the body to heal” I have seen that is true.

CWC focus on education should be kept up. I heard about Chiropractic two years ago! I believe many people have not heard about Chiropractic at all. I believe that the centre should go all out through the various media, print, electronic and so on and let people know about it because some people have been going to hospital for a very long time. They are taking drugs that make no difference whatsoever and since I have the experience of getting better through Chiropractic, I think it would be very good for other people to learn and also come here for treatment.

The first thing I noticed about staff at CWC is that they are very enthusiastic, they are every friendly, they seem to know the names of everybody who comes here and that makes me feel special. When you enter a place and someone says “hello aunty Gloria, how are you?” It makes you feel a sense of belonging and for me it is almost part of the treatment.

I have met several people here that I talk to, and they encourage me even more. They tell me about all the places they have been to, all the drugs they have taken, all the money they have spent and one particular lady told me she could not lift her arm beyond her shoulder, and she showed me how she could now lift her arm up! Another gentleman was telling me that he was in perpetual pain, and now he can see the great difference; there was a big smile on his face! SO when I am telling people about Chiropractic, I don’t talk about myself alone, I mention all those people who have also been here.

I believe that the fact that Chiropractic uses the natural way of healing, it is the greatest news that anybody can hear and if you are going to take all these drugs which in the long run can give you other complications then chiropractic is the first thing people should use before trying anything else.

Dr. Marcus Mann’s vision to extend Chiropractic throughout this country and the rest of Africa is a brilliant one, and he should be given all the support he need!  I wish him all the best always because I believe Chiropractic is the treatment for the 21st Century.

My agony started when we finished building our dream house. Anytime I climbed our staircase, I experienced a sharp unbearable pain. Each step felt like I may never be able to walk again. Due to the pain I began limping on my right leg. Sometimes I would lie down to ease the pain.

I started seeing my chiropractor because for the last 3-4 years I was experiencing pain in my feet and middle back and my back was arching out. There was also tension in my neck and head.  When I was tense I was uncomfortable and shrank from life.

Although I was not in extreme pain, I wanted to feel my best and move past these issues. I had heard about the benefits of chiropractic care so decided to try it out.

My chiropractor scans me so I know where I stand instead of presenting a “hit or miss” approach.  The results are fantastic.

Chiropractic care has given me a sense of well-being and a clear mind.  One thing leads to another – like learning to eat better and including better nutrition is now a part of my growth. The philosophy of chiropractic care now influences my way of thinking and also contributes to my well-being.

And the “side effects” from chiropractic care are the best!  This is the biggest area of growth for me.   Learning from reading the books in my chiropractor's lending library, the philosophy of chiropractic care just makes sense to me.  I now realize the importance of mind, body and soul.  I can feel the flow of energy when I am aligned and the flow of relaxation that follows.  The nerves are free to send their impulses and heal the body.  I find my head clear and a sense of well-being that I haven't had for years.

The personalized attention and uplifting spirit of this office is what keeps me recommending people to my chiropractor.  I want others to know the benefits of chiropractic.

Thirty years ago as a student of University of Ghana, I felt a sharp pain in my right shoulder, which affected the movement in my neck. I experienced neck pain and restriction of movement of my neck and shoulders for several days. The pain became unbearable one afternoon which resulted in me being admitted at the Legon hospital.

A few days after I was discharged from hospital, I became nervous, feverish with nagging heading headache and all together felt very uncomfortable.

I experienced rashes on my skull, the trunk, legs and also experienced severe headache in the right ear. I reported back to Legon hospital and my ailment was diagnosed as Psoriasis and Otitis Media. I was treated and the psoriasis and earaches improved for a while but re-occurred. This problem has been with me ever since.

While on a course in Britain in 1988, I was treated for Psoriasis at Princess Grace Hospital, Baker's Street, London.

In October 1999, I felt dizzy and felt I was being squeezed into a valley, I experienced double vision, a pull in the shoulder, tightness in the buttocks and thighs. And few minutes later I could not move. I received treatment from a natural therapist who diagnosed my disease as C.V.A. However after two weeks of treatment my condition worsened and I became paralyzed in both arms and legs. Consequently, I was admitted at the Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital.

My condition was diagnosed as Cervical Spondylosis with a bone pressing on the nerve in the throat, anorexia and hyperathrophy.

I was discharged after a three weeks stay in Korle-Bu Teaching Hospital for an out patient physiotherapy treatment. At this stage, I could not use any of my limbs, had slurred speech, pins and needles sensation, burning sensation, wasting away of the muscles and a pull and tightness in the right side of my body.
I then heard about Chiropractic on the radio (Radio Gold) and decided to give it a try. At The Chiropractic and Wellness Centres, I was diagnosed as having brain stem subluxation.

I had barely regained the use of the left side of my body then. At CWC after several adjustments, I started responding to movement in the right side of my body.

The pins and needle sensation, fever, nervousness, high blood pressure, doubled vision, ringing in the ears and movement in the right side of my neck have slowly but surely seen a lot of improvement.
A feeling of wellness and hope has returned and hope for recovery in my predicament.     

- Mr. Tusoe Liberio

I have been visiting The Chiropractic and Wellness Centre for six months (6) now due to persistent headaches, heart burns and severe waist pain. Sleeping was a challenge for me. I couldn't get myself going as I wished. The health problems became so serious that my career was at stake. I tried all the orthodox principles of healing but to no avail.

Thank God for my good friend who referred me. I became a practice member of the centre and after several months of care when I got far better

I ensured consistency as much as possible since as they say, “the body heals to rhythm”. The exquisite massages and supplements from the specific nutrient testing (Nutrispec) have also been helpful.

I am back to shape again. I am committed to staying under Chiropractic care until I am done with the doctor's full recommendation.

I feel so excited in sharing this because I believe that every one- big or small, old or young needs Chiropractic care. I also wish to advise those who are already having care at the centre to stay committed to their original scheduled appointment until doctor says they are free to go.

Stay committed and stay connected!

- Grace Amoah

My name is Grace Amoah. I was involved in a car accident six months ago. Months after the accident I started feeling pains all over my body. A bump developed on my neck which gave me headaches and dizziness. I couldn't walk very fast and bending to bath was so difficult.

I visited Korle-Bu and I was compelled to do a CT scan. The doctor at Korle –Bu told me that I had lost one of my discs and that if I don't do a surgery, I will be experiencing pains for the rest of my life.

I am a hairdresser. One day as I was in my salon, a client told me about the CEO of the Chiropractic and Wellness Centre, Dr. Marcus Manns and assured me that that man could be of great help to my predicament.
I started visiting the Centre few months ago and I have started seeing significant improvement in my overall health. The bump around my neck is has reduced in size, the dizziness is also reduced and now I can bend to take my bath without much struggle. Amazingly, I can now also walk faster.

I don't need any one to convince me at this stage of my health to stay under the shelter of Chiropractic. I recommend this centre for all who wish to obtain health to the optimum, naturally.

I was referred to the Chiropractic and Wellness by my sister-in-law when she realized that I could neither stand nor walk properly. I had a burning sensation in my feet. It was so severe that I would  stay awake all night. I couldn't even wear any slippers.

This burning sensation went on for more than a year. My sister-in-law who had great confidence in the Chiropractic and Wellness Centres called CWC and booked an appointment for me. She carried me in her vehicle and we came for consultation and the surface electromyography scan. It was amazing how the scan revealed exactly the areas I notice the problems were the most.

Without further delays, I started care following Dr. Marcus' recommendation. I was bent on getting well soon so I did exactly as I was told by Doc to do; having my regular exercises, good nutrition, nutri-spec evaluations, massages, and attending their highly educative workshop once every week where I learnt how to sit properly and to manage stress.

Now I can walk properly. I can even run. I am back to wearing shoes and am very happy. Indeed the Chiropractic and Wellness Centre is a life saving one.

I discovered Chiropractic ten years ago, when I was living in Botswana. I have always been athletic and have a great passion for jogging and walking. While living in Botswana, I developed a back problem, for which my orthopedic doctor recommended surgery. I did not like the idea of being cut into; while I was still considering other options, a friend recommended I see a Chiropractor in South Africa. This is where my Chiropractic journey to wellness begun.

A few years after I moved to Ghana, I started to experience a lot of pain in my left hip. My jogging and walking were affected as I could not move without feeling severe pain. It was limiting my enjoyment of life as it was very uncomfortable to be in pain. For an active person like me, pain was really affecting my activity levels. I had noticed The Chiropractic and Wellness Centres (CWC) signboards around the Dzorwulu area; coincidentally my friend was a Practice Member at Asylum Down. I came to CWC and I have happily been under care for almost a year.

For me, Chiropractic is part of my healthy lifestyle. The effort CWC places on health education is commendable. You cannot compare the value of Chiropractic to money. When I look at the savings I made by avoiding surgery, prolonged hospital stay, being cut up, and expenses when recuperating, Chiropractic is of an incomparable value.

After taking me through the evaluation process and computerized scan of my spine and nervous system, the doctor was able to identify the root cause of my hip pain. I started care soon after and since then there has been a lot of difference in my life. The hip pain went away completely. I also noticed a tremendous increase in my energy levels. I can now jog for a longer period without losing my breath. I am also back to my walking routine. Pain free.

I would like to urge everyone out there to make Chiropractic part of their lifestyle. It has made a great difference in my life and it will make a great difference in your life too.

Three years ago my company Toe Talk Ghana Ltd was gaining stability and recognition and life was good until one day I was struck by a sharp pain down my waist.

My work involves a lot of moving around, meeting prospective clients. Back then, I was also a part time student. Being in pain restricted my movement and I could not concentrate. I went both to SSNIT and 37 hospitals where the doctors put me in a sophisticated machine and ran many tests. Afterwards they gave me a lot of medicines, and I recall the doctor telling me to go home and pray. I took the medicines but there was no significant improvement. The weeks that followed were hell. I would often ask myself why this was happening to me?

By the Grace of God, I was introduced to Dr. Marcus who took one look at my X-rays and assured me that Chiropractic could help me. Just like that, my prayers were answered. His team took me through a consultation, exam and performed a computerized spine and nervous system scan.

The Doctor put me on a corrective care plan and I immediately begun to recover. My pain went away completely and three years later, I am still pain free! I am now so fit! I can lift my arms, move, exercise and my activity levels have shot up tremendously!

I am on a mission tell everyone that The Chiropractic and Wellness Centres is the key to good health
I thank God for Dr Marcus and sincerely appreciate him for the tremendous job he is doing in helping Ghanaians achieve better health and longevity.

I had been experiencing severe pain in my neck and waist for sometime. My neurologist gave me medications; I would feel better for sometime but the pain would come back. I was in constant pain all over my body. My neck, joints, knees, ankles, and shoulder blades ached a lot. I could not turn my neck left or right, I could only look up straight ahead and I had to wear a neck collar. I also had great difficulty bending and squatting and at night I could not sleep comfortably.

In addition I had other health challenges like allergies, frequent headaches, and indigestion. As a Reverend minister, my physical state was affecting my performance as I could not stand or preach for long. At home, my wife had to take over some of my duties.

A colleague at church who saw how much I was suffering referred me to The Chiropractic and Wellness Centres (CWC). At the Centre, Dr Marcus and his team took me through a computerized scan and exam. The scan revealed the root cause of my pain and the team of doctors began chiropractic adjustments to correct the cause. After the first adjustment, the pain reduced drastically and I realized I could  move my neck! As time went on, I saw that I was getting much relief; the things that I could not do before, such as bending over, squatting and other exercises, I could now do and the pain I used to experience completely went away. I have not taken medicine in months and my performance is better than ever. I can now stand and preach for a long time without any pain.

Let me emphasise that Chiropractic is very beneficial. To anyone reading this, I would advise you to visit The Chiropractic and Wellness Centres to see or experience for yourself. Really if I had my way, I would pay for people to have chiropractic care. But since I am not able to do that I will be an advocate of Chiropractic. If you are out there wondering how to overcome your health challenges, the place to go is The Chiropractic and Wellness Centres. You will not regret it!

Lastly, as a pastor, I would like to add that there is nothing superstitious, or occult related about Chiropractic. Chiropractic adjustments simply enhance your body’s ability to heal. It is a safe, gentle and natural process.

– William and Rose Takyi
 

My beautiful wife Rose and I have been married for 35 years now. We would like to share our story with you so that anyone out there wondering whether Chiropractic can help them live healthier, pain free and drug free lives can learn from us.

I have been Asthmatic for over 30 years. I was very sensitive to smells and dust. Any slight scent, even perfume could set off an allergic reaction that would leave me coughing for hours. My coughing had gotten so bad I couldn't sleep soundly all night. I would wake up repeatedly coughing and coughing. Of course this left me tired and stressed.

My coughing also kept Rose awake, which also affected her. During the day, I could not hold a conversation with someone without excusing myself repeatedly to cough. I can remember a time, I could not do anything from start to finish without stopping to cough. On top of all that, my doctor had warned me that my blood sugar was dangerously high; It was only a matter of time before I developed diabetes.

Over the years, we had seen many doctors and specialists to try and get my coughing under control and to treat my Asthma. They gave me all sorts of medications but nothing worked. We had resigned ourselves to a life of managing my condition...

When we had almost given up, a family friend referred us to the Chiropractic & Wellness Centres. At first, I did not believe that they could make a difference. Infact when I first went to CWC, I asked the Doctor “can you really cure my cough?” because I did not really believe that he could.

After a computerized exam and consultation to identify the root cause of my Asthma, the  doctor recommended a care plan. He also educated us about our lifestyle, what we eat, what we drink, how we sit and general posture affects our health and well-being! At first we thought it was a joke, but we decided to give the doctors advice a try, as we had nothing to lose.

To our utter surprise after a few weeks, the cough just disappeared! Just like that! I  haven’t taken any medication in months! Recently I went for a check up and my sugar levels are also in the normal range!
For us, Chiropractic has made all the difference! I can tell you that we are by far healthier today that we have ever been! I particularly feel much better than I felt 50 years ago!

During our visits to CWC we have seen stroke patients coming in unable to walk or talk. After several months of care, they regain their speech and ability to walk!

Chiropractic maybe just what you need to get better! If you are being treated for a condition and it is not improving or it keeps coming back, we urge you to take a step to wellness through Chiropractic.
If you would like to hear more about how Chiropractic has made a difference in our lives, you can meet us at the free workshops held at CWC every Tuesday at 5pm.
 

– Sampson and Alice Kuwornu
 

Our names are  Samson and Alice Kuwornu. We are traders in Accra. My wife Alice is also a baker. We live in La Paz and have two children. For us, Chiropractic has made the difference between life and death. Because of the difference Chiropractic made for us, we have made it our personal mission to share our story with all Ghanaians, knowing it can save a life.

Alice: Eight years ago, my life was slowly ending. I was sickly, pale, and miserable. My neck was always in pain, I couldn’t turn it. Imagine never being able to turn your neck side to side or look up or down. I had to wear a neck collar to keep my neck in one position. The neck problems were causing me additional health problems. I had a dry cough that never went away despite all the cough medicine I took. I would experience heart palpitations, headaches, weakness and my hands shook so much I could not hold anything.

Samson: Ooh my wife’s illness was a bad time for me. She was dying slowly. We had spent all our savings trying to get her treatment. I remember she would try to hold a knife and her hands shook so hard she would drop it. My wife and the mother of my children could not even cook for us. Can you imagine a wife who cannot to do any physical thing?

Over more than six years we had seen all sorts of doctors, you name it...we had tried it! A doctor in one of the hospitals in Accra told us no medicine could push my wife’s neck bones back in place. He explained what was wrong with my wife’s neck; the plates were worn out and the structure there was irreversibly damaged. The only option was surgery. The doctors then realized that one of Alice’s kidneys had failed and because of that they became reluctant to operate. Alice was put on pain killers and sent home.

We sunk into despair. The children and I started preparing for the inevitable death of the pillar of our home. A sad cloud hung over our home.

Alice: As we waited for my death to come, we turned to the gospel and prayer. My neck collar attracted all sorts of comments, but most painful was its association with death. Then two years ago I met a lady who took one look at me and told me “Alice, my sister, I can help you.” She then gave me her daughter’s telephone number who in turn sent me to The Chiropractic and Wellness Centres (CWC) for a consultation.
At CWC the lovely team evaluated my case and took computerized scans of my spine. The scans showed the cause of my neck problem. I also learnt how all my other health problems were caused by the neck problem. The doctor then recommended Chiropractic adjustments to correct the problem. The adjustments helped my neck to start repairing the damage caused over the many years. As my neck got better, the rest of my body also started to heal.

Samson: After receiving her first adjustment, for the first time in 8 years Alice slept all night without waking up! She slept so peacefully I thought she had taken some medicine to help her sleep! The effect of the adjustment was so immediate it really surprised me. Previously, we would wake up in the middle of the night to pray in despair. Today joy and laughter fill our days. Her recovery has been so amazing.

Alice: I am in fifties but I feel like I am in my twenties! I rarely fall sick and my activity levels are higher than they have ever been. Chiropractic has made such a difference in my life!  We are at every one of the free health workshops CWC hosts every Tuesday at 5pm and we have made it our personal mission to educate everyone we know or meet. To-date we have led so many people from deep despair because of illness to an improved state of health.

Please, we urge you to get your spine’s checked. If you are sickly, in pain, always tired or you just don't feel right. The way is Chiropractic, it will help you get to the root cause of your illness.  Feel free to call me anytime on 0208 281 520 to hear a personal account of how Chiropractic can help you. You can also meet us at the free workshops held at CWC’s Prestige Center at Asylum Down every Tuesday. I am a walking miracle of how Chiropractic can change your life. Soon you will be too!

- Hon. Courage Quashiga, Maj. (Rtd.)
 

The bible says, for lack of knowledge, my people perish. Ghanaians are gradually perishing for lack of knowledge. We don't know much about our health and because of that, we are perishing.

We are lucky to be beneficiaries of Chiropractic in Ghana because Dr Manns has given Chiropractic a different dimension. His Centres not only provide care, but they also educate practice members on the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle.

Through their Centres, I have learnt how all parts of our bodies are controlled by the nervous system housed in the spine. If there is a slightest shift in your spine, some of the organs along the distribution line will not receive adequate nourishment and will start to deteriorate and you fall sick!

I am totally convinced that the best legacy we can leave our children is to continuously educate them on the importance of their health and  inculcate in them the culture of continuously checking the state of their health.

I am proud and happy to be a registered member of the Accra and branch of The Chiropractic and Wellness Centres (CWC) and indeed when people see the health minister himself taking care of his own health, they are encouraged. It is a cause that I am committed to. Their friendliness encourages you to sit down with them and to share your health problems!

I strongly recommend CWC to you.

- Kennedy Okosun, Chairman, Krif Ghana Ltd & The Stationery Depot

I joined CWC because of what I heard friends say about Chiropractic, and how it had helped them. I decided to try it for myself and I can confidently say it works! I was held hostage by severe headaches/migraines for over 20 years.

It is only after I begun chiropractic care at CWC that I found the solution. I also felt immediately energized! As a result, I made a conscious decision to make continuous chiropractic care part of my healthy lifestyle.
As a busy entrepreneur, I am focused on not getting sick! Not just because of downtime when I could be working, but because it is obviously better to stay well! You enjoy life more when you are healthy! As people get older they also get more health conscious and want to avoid all the problems that come after many years of neglecting one's health.

For those who have retired, they want to live ailment free lives. You work hard, you make sacrifices, you earn money, you provide security for your family and when you retire, you want to enjoy the fruits of your labour, not spend time running in and out of hospital feeling sick and tired! For me it is therefore critical that I take care of my health and chiropractic is a common sense way for me to do that.

As a Practice Member, it is obvious that wellness lifestyle education is a top priority at CWC. The lifestyle education that I received shocked me to the realization that one must always be conscious of what they do with their body and what they put into it! Over the years, with the knowledge gained from my visits at CWC, I have formed the habit of sharing my knowledge and correcting people when I see them standing, sitting or lifting things incorrectly! When I travel to Europe, United States and around Africa, wherever I go, I am an ambassador of Chiropractic!

“You are doing yourself a great disservice if you have not made Chiropractic an essential part of your lifestyle.”
