Witnessing Natural Power

As a chiropractor, I have had the privilege of helping thousands of patients over the past 24 years. I have treated a wide variety of conditions including headaches, neck pain, low back pain, and pain in the arms or legs. One of the cases that had a significant impact on me when I first started my practice was a patient who had been suffering from severe abdominal cramps for years.

This patient would experience such severe spasms that she would have to curl up into a fetal position for 2 to 3 days at a time, once a month. She would not be able to walk and would be in tears for days. After exhausting all other options and opinions in the health field, she was referred to me by a family member who asked if I thought I could do anything to help.

At the time, she was having a severe spasm and I agreed to go see her and see what I could do. After examining her, I slowly started to adjust around the pelvis to her tolerance and stretch out some of the ligaments and muscles that were in spasm. Gradually, the tears stopped, her breathing slowed and she started to gradually come out of the fetal position. I remember her looking at me and asking what I had done. At that moment, I realized how powerful chiropractic was and it was my introduction to seeing thousands of people respond positively to Chiropractic treatment.

One of the things that I love about being a chiropractor is that I get to help people in a very tangible way. Whether it's helping someone who is suffering from chronic pain or helping an athlete to perform at their best, the satisfaction of seeing someone improve as a result of my treatment is truly rewarding.
