I have often been asked as to the reason why I select to be a Chiropractor and I must admit this discipline of health care actually chose me.

I was a senior in high school, football player, and preparing for college with aspirations of a career in the health care field. I got a severe injury to my lower back during football training that not only ended my football career but also in turn debilitated my current way of life. Being a young man, I followed my parent's advice as well as the school's and went through the normal or traditional route for treatment for my injury. Medications didn't help, physical therapy failed. My ache was dismissed a pulled muscle, sprained ligament, being a large sized young man, and a you should be healed by now diagnosis. I consulted a well-respected chiropractor in town to see if he could help me. An x-ray revealed that I had a lumbar spine fracture. I started on the road to rehabilitation and after some treatments and proper management; I was back to a healthy, athletic, and active life. So as you can see, I take all patient's pain and ill health, well personally.
