For me, Chiropractic is almost a spiritual thing. I know God is our creator, and he created an amazing, self healing body. I believe the power that made the body, heals the body. With Chiropractic we remove the interference, and reconnect the brain (neuroplasticity). The body heals when connected to the brain, it鈥檚 really that simple. I pray everyday for God to guide me to find and correct that interference on every single person I touch.
My Chiropractic story:
I come from a family that went to the Chiropractor. Starting with my Grandfather, Gmother and Dad and Mom, Aunts and Uncles, I鈥檝e been adjusted since I was 5 years old. I never had major problems or sickness as a kid, and it鈥檚 funny how God works. You see, around 15 years old I had a problem of not knowing what I wanted to be. I loved working on cars, but found out real quick I didn鈥檛 love other people鈥檚 cars, LOL. I took some architect classes, but didn鈥檛 like that either. I would try to avoid career days because of thefrustration. Well, one day I hurt my lower back lifting weights in football offseason. It was the first time I had a sustained pain. We went to our family Chiropractor, and after a few adjustments, he fixed me! I was amazed, and it was because of that pain that sparked an interest, and after more literature and explanation given by my Chiro., I decided to be a Chiropractor. One side note, I was severely injured at 19 years old in a car accident. My upper spine was twisted. I missed 2 weeks of college and 1 month of work because of neck pain and headaches. Once again, my Chiropractor, this time after several months fixed me! These 2 incidents, while painful, were Godsends for my direction in life.
