MY CHIROPRACTIC STORY
I was first introduced to chiropractic following a horrific car crash in St. Louis, Missouri in 1991 where I was a passenger in a pick up truck that was hit from the side rear and flipped upside down on the highway. The crash caused the cab of the truck to cave in as it was spinning on the highway. I was taken by ambulance to the nearest emergency room where they scrubbed out pieces of highway pavement and glass from my arms and hands all while I was experiencing pain in my neck, upper and mid back. After being told by emergency room physicians that I had no broken bones, I was prescribed pain medications and told to go home and rest. For several weeks following the crash, I felt fine as long as I was taking the pain pills but when the medication wore off, the pain returned. Here I was, an active 25 year old suffering with neck and back pain every day and nothing was helping me. I couldn't do the things I wanted to do and simple daily tasks became a struggle. That's when friend of mine seen I was suffering, suggested I go to a chiropractor that he knew. I was hesitant (skeptical) at first and didn't make an appointment for several days but finally went because I was tired of living in pain. Following that first visit, I felt some pain relief. To say I was surprised is an understatement, but grateful. Didn't know that one adjustment to my spine would give me that much relief! Nothing I had tried previously...pills, heat, massage...even came close to relieving my pain and discomfort that I had been living with for weeks. As I started to get adjusted on a regular basis and as time went on, I began to feel better and better. And as they say, the rest is history. If it wasn't for that chiropractic experience in 1991, I would have never found my calling to go back to Chiropractic school where I graduated from Logan University and College of Chiropractic in 1996. Since then, I am forever thankful and truly blessed to be helping others as much as I was.
