We all experience stressful times and, for me, it was during my undergraduate studies. I was faced with many complicated choices and the confusing decision of a career path. Like many people, I thought I was handling this stress just fine but my body was absorbing it all with symptoms of jaw pain, my neck locked up and my shoulders “froze.” I sought relief from medical doctors and dentists. The only answer given to me was medicine or “just live with the pain.” So, I suffered like most people do with no better options.

As I continued to seek a career path, I met a local chiropractor who mentored me. Each time I observed him in his clinic, I noticed that patients were healing quickly, without drugs and surgery. I learned that when a nerve is being pinched it causes pain (or numbness, tingling, weakness) and with chiropractic adjustments, the nerve pressure is eliminated. The body has an amazing ability to then heal naturally. It’s that simple! Why hadn’t I heard about this before? From that moment on, I was sold on the field of chiropractic and knew I had found my calling.
