Why I am a Chiropractor

I have always wanted to do something in the field of medicine. I also learned at a young age the joy of helping other people. We would spend our summers at camp friendship in the Black Hills helping kids who didn’t have the chance to go camping and enjoy the outdoors as we where fortunate enough to, and collecting toys for Toys For Tots in the winter around Christmas. There is an unexplained joy and warm feeling when you have helped someone or positively influenced there lives.

The decision to actually pursue Chiropractic didn’t come till a later point in my life. I decided in high school I wanted to be a doctor but had no clue what kind. I was fortunate enough to have grown up in a Chiropractic lifestyle. How fortunate I was didn’t dawn upon me until later in life. By college I had it narrowed down to orthopedics or Chiropractic. I was eating dinner with an orthopedic surgeon I had known my entire life when he suddenly told me to not pursue a career in his field. He told me the politics, money, and the general misguiding of allopathic medicine have destroyed it in our country. That pretty much put and end to that idea.

I finished my undergraduate education at the University of Wyoming in Laramie for pre-med and got my doctorate of Chiropractic at Southern California University of Health Sciences in Los Angeles.

Looking back on my life I now realize the entire benefit of living the "Chiropractic Lifestyle." I have been sick once in the last nine years of my life, have never received a vaccination, antibiotic or drug therapy, ate an amazing healthy diet taught to me by my loving parents, and received free chiropractic care my entire life. I am a third generation Chiropractor following my great uncle and father.

After multiple debilitating car accidents and sports injuries I am in amazing shape with no symptoms what so ever. Where most people would have had to give up there active lifestyle from the broken bones, damaged nerves, and ruptured discs I had I have become stronger and excelled in everything I love to do in the great outdoors.

I guess I would be a living example of what Chiropractic can do for you and now realize that’s why I was destined to pursue this career.
