“I was a very successful Contracts and Business Manager and very physically active. I was standing in my office one morning and twisted to pick up my coffee cup and had shooting pains in my low back that were almost crippling. I had difficulty performing my daily activities. I remembered back to a family chiropractic friend in New York and thought I should give it a shot because he had helped my dad and grandfather for years. I was now living in Maryland, so I called a local Chiropractor and made an appointment.
The chiropractor did an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt, it felt good. I got relief, and I could move about without any pain. Chiropractic care had such a large impact on my life that I decided to change careers and go to Chiropractic College to help others who were in need.”
