After being a chiropractor for 30 years I feel blessed to be part of a profession that helps people reach their full potential and do things they never thought possible. When I was a teenager I was in a really bad car accident that caused me daily neck pain and spasms. I went to my doctor and the only option available was to take pain killers. Earlier that year my mother had fallen from a ladder and broker her shoulder and was told by her orthopedic surgeon that she would never be able to lift her arm again. Determined that this was not her fate she went to a chiropractor and was able to gain full function of her arm again. I thought that I would give chiropractic a try since it had helped my mother so dramatically. In just a short amount of time my neck pain and spasms were gone, and I had fully gained back my range of motion. But not only were my symptoms gone, but I began to realize that I was also getting sick less often. Prior to visiting the chiropractor I used to get strep throat 2 to 3 times per year, but to this day I have never had strep throat again.
