Urgent Care for Peter's Spinal Recovery

Donation protected
Hi, my is name Peter Chila.

Twenty-one years ago I was involved in a serious construction accident, falling 14 feet onto a pile of steel beams. I landed on my side which nearly paralyzed me for life. I was rushed to Mountain Valley Medical in Londonderry, Vermont and then immediately rushed to Rutland Regional Medical Center.

I suffered a serious direct impact injury to my spine, multiple broken ribs, both collar bones injured, 84% of my vertebrae are compromised and out of alignment, as well as a severely damaged nervous system.

I had no choice but to return to work as soon as possible to support my wife and 2 young boys.

My spine remains extremely damaged as shown in the current x-ray. In addition to pain in my back and legs the injury caused routine “cluster headaches,” a pain so extreme It’s hard to believe I’m still alive. My ex-wife would find me outside at 4am in sub zero temps because cold is the only thing that lessens the pain. This was occurring daily when I found Dr. Bergman in March of 2022. After 8 weeks of treatment in March and August of 2022 I experienced some relief, for the first time in 20 years I began to imagine a life without constant pain. Unfortunately due to my financial restraints I haven’t been able to return and complete the treatments needed. I’m now developing nervous system complications that are extremely challenging and my pain is increasing. I feel my body breaking down.

I was told by the Dr. that without treatment my nervous system will continue to degenerate, as I age and lose muscle the additional strain on my spine will put me in a state of constant pain, barely able to move. This will be a slow, painful death.



My condition requires a highly specialized and world recognized Chiropractic Neurologist.

Dr. John Bergman (link below)


My spine requires at least 600 corrective procedures.
16 procedures per week. 10 hrs per day, 4 days per week.

Each procedure includes Spinal Manipulative Therapy, Spinal Mobilization, and Joint Mobilization procedures.

I’m a family man and have always done what it takes to provide for my family. I’m always willing to lend a helping hand and have had many people turn to me in their time of need.

I’ve always taken pride in being able to provide for those that I love and don’t want to end my life unable to even care for myself. It’s very hard for me to ask others but I see no other way.

It’s now my turn to ask for help.

Help to pay for Dr. Bergman (40k) as well as assistance with relocation and living expenses for the year I will need to be there. Your generous contribution, any amount is what will make this possible. I’m incredibly grateful for any assistance that you can provide. I look forward to becoming a healed and very capable human again who can help support and give back to those in need.

With love and gratitude for your kind consideration,
Peter
