  There I was; King's Arrow Ranch..Gulf Wars 30 in the heat and sun and sweat of the Medieval Mississippi Sun fighting for my life amongst a packed shield wall of swords and spears. I was beaten, I did bludgeon, and I marched hard up and down the hill from our allied resurection point for a good long hour before finally falling to a spear that had displaced part of my ribcage. Pads, leather, plate steel, and rattan. Many fights over many years in a duty and service and dedication to our Kingdom and its Dream. But..that can leave a fighter broken and unable to engage in the beloved fray. And that? My friends that can leave a man depressed, isolated from his swordkin....unable to sleep at night for all the pain and discomfort that remains outside of the training field. And then? A man may decay...his body may begin to with...or may his sanity.. I was ready to see the surgeon. I was ready to be put through the knife to end this suffering and have even a hope to regain my hobbies, speaking not of my work, or my life...my family... I had had a sucessful experience one time, years ago on the side of one of those LARPing fields. That man who did the thing had been, in years prior, a head doctor at St. Louis RMC. He cautioned afterwards on mispractice by some chiropractors, but was overall quite attentive and explained that the chiropractic medical field was indeed sound and modern science...not just some collection of outdated medieval methods. For a long time thereafter I slowly drifted back in to levels of pain and discomfort....it worsened until my condition was as ive previously described unembellished. I was close to losing my job, couldn't participate in any sort of even moderate activity..couldn't play with my kid....couldn't cuddle my wife asleep in bed at night. My primary physician recommended Dr. Jake Ackerson with Excel Chiropractic and Wellness. She said bluntly that if Dr. Ackerson was unable to resolve my issues, then there would be no other consultant she would suggest before a surgical intervention. His own story of personal recovery through adjustment is inspirational, and she had confidence that I would be able to seek positive treatment with Jake. Within the first three weeks of consistent treatment, Dr. Ackerson was able to sucessfully analyze my horribly explained complaints. He then put together a treatment approach that was not only meaningfully tailored to my specific issues, but also reasonable and accomplishable. Having a recovery plan that is actually achievable is extremely important, and it was easy to follow through with the recommendations provided. And compared to the medieval doctor? ..That guy may have been high up in a big hospital, but that compares in no way to the expertise that ive witnessed each time at Excel. Dedication to excellence and professionalism are not lost on me. The education and on-going adaptations to treatment that I continue to receive as I heal and begin living life again are basic and necessary fundaments that I was missing in life. They've taught me HOW to heal, not just done some alignments and sent me out the door with some expensive 'routine plan'. Each time I am there I feel personally welcomed, understood, and actually treated when I am needing that desperate relief the most. Don't think id have lasted much longer without you guys. Thank you.

  Excel Chiropractic and Wellness has been one of the best professional experiences I have had in recent years. I have been going to Excel routinely after my doctor reccomended them to me about 7 months ago(Sept. 2025). Every one of their staff I have met has far and beyond exceded my expectations. The front office always responds in a very timely manner regardless of whether I call or text to schedule my appointments, and every individual I have interacted with on their team has been welcoming, professional and compassionate. I have seen 2 of their chiropractors at this point in time, and have experienced firsthand, and come to trust in the profound expert knowledge base exemplified by them at every appointment. Every discomfort I see fit to mention is met with attentive thought, consideration, and an explanation of what could be happening to me. For all these reasons and more I don't just expect to be taken care of, I anticipate and trust that I will be. Excel Chiropractic and Wellness certainly excells at what they do, and they will be my first recommendation to whomever may ask me. - Many thanks and appreciation to Dr. Akerson, Dr. Chapp, and staff - Elizabeth Harder

  I was in really bad pain in my back and down my whole right leg. Dr. Chapp did some beginning work on me and I felt better when I left than when I had come in. Looking forward to him removing the pain completely as I have faith that he will. The whole staff at Excel is great.

  Dr. Akerson is amazing. His work with my son after a traumatic brain injury has truly helped support his recovery. While we understand the injury itself requires multiple therapies, the care Dr. Akerson provides has made a noticeable difference in my son’s body—especially in improving his range of motion and reducing tension. He approaches treatment with patience and an understanding of what TBI recovery requires, focusing on supporting the body around the injury in a safe and effective way. We’ve seen meaningful progress, and I’m grateful for the role he’s played in my son’s healing journey. Highly recommend him to any family navigating similar challenges.
