My life commitment to chiropractic

I realized that there was so much more to chiropractic than just back pain.

My lifetime commitment to chiropractic began when I was 15 years old. I was in my second season of rowing when I started to develop daily back pain.  It was then that my parents realized that I had scoliosis and began taking me for chiropractic treatments.

Chiropractic prevented me from having back surgery, and allows me to continue living the active lifestyle that I enjoy.

Not only did it help relieve my back pain, but I never had another ear infection after my first adjustment, which I had battled my entire childhood.  That was when I realized that there was so much more to chiropractic than just back pain.  It didn’t take long for me to conclude that I would someday become a chiropractor.

It has been a long journey, but I am forever grateful to the many chiropractors who helped me see what true health really is.  Most importantly, I am grateful to D.D. Palmer, the founder of chiropractic, for inventing such an amazing form of manual health care.
