My Chiropractic Story:

A week or two doesn’t go by when I’m asked why I became a Chiropractor.

Here is my Story:

It started in 1972 when I was in 10th grade on the High School swimming team, I dislocated my right knee cap playing tennis. After going to the orthopedic where they had to drain my knee of fluid, the doctor said I would have to immobilize my leg for 7-8 weeks to let it heal in a cast. Hearing this news was to say the least very disappointing, and which most likely would end my activities for that year

At that time my mother was seeing a Chiropractor and said she would take me in and see what he had to offer. I was willing to try anything that prevented me from ending my swimming for the year. That day I hobbled into his office on crutches. Not knowing what to expect, he examined me. After the examination he felt I had some misalignments of my lower back, knee and ankle. He proceeded to adjust these areas which at first I was nervous and thought I was already in enough pain I didn’t want more. The adjustments were way easier than my perceived thoughts of torture. After he was finished, I was able to walk on my leg with about 50% improvement. I returned the next 4 days and was about 90% better and returned to swimming after 1 week. It was amazing to me. Not knowing what my career was going to be, a light bulb went off and had me thinking of a medical career. I attended pre med at Valparaiso University still thinking the medical route for me, but had that Chiropractic experience in the back of my head. I applied early to Chiropractic school and got accepted early before finishing my premed, thinking if I didn’t like Chiropractic, I would still be able to transfer credits and continue with my medical career. In Chiropractic school I was amazed at the continual stories I saw of patients coming in and getting better faster and naturally, I was sold after 5 years.

It’s now 37 years later and I hear the same amazing stories from my patients every week, but this time I’m able to help these patients like I was helped. This is the end of my story but can be just the beginning for you towards your wellness story.

Give me a call, I will listen and tell you if we are able to help you!
