My introduction to Chiropractic care
My very first visit to the Chiropractor was as a result of an injury sustained at work. I was working in the mailroom of a large corporation and hurt my back lifting a box one eventful afternoon. The pain left me in agony for over 3 weeks. I went to one doctor after another in the "Worker's Compensation" circle. I was getting no relief and there was talk of surgery. It was then that a friend of mine mentioned chiropractic. I was intrigued so I inquired about chiropractic care as part of my rehab, but was met with stern warnings. I was told that if I didn't follow the treatment regimen or sought care outside of the workers comp umbrella, my claims would be come void and that I would be responsible for my care. My fear of surgery led me underground so to speak. Unbeknownst to the workers comp doctors, I sought chiropractic care through my friends chiropractor. This was
unlike any experience I had ever had in a doctor's office before. Within just a few adjustments, I was back on my feet and back at work. I learned that Chiropractors are very skilled and knowledgeable doctors who are trained in many areas . I learned that not only do Chiropractors help with back and neck injuries, but they truly care about their patients' problems. But most of all, I realized how much I had been helped by the Chiropractor and how I couldn't wait to help people in the same way, so I become a Chiropractor myself!
Chiropractic Education
I was accepted to attend the prestigious Life University of Chiropractic right here in Atlanta. During my 4 years at Life University, I learned the only limitations that we have are those that we accept or believe. Upon graduation from Life University, I started my career as a Chiropractor in the Atlanta area . A few years out of school, I opened a practice in Eastman, GA where I served a large population of Middle Georgia for over 11 years. During that time our office treated over 6,000 new patients. In 2010 I moved back to the Atlanta area to be closer to my son.
I continue to further my knowledge by attending frequent educational seminars on several health-related topics, including nutrition, sports care, wellness, weight loss and pediatric care. I am currently involved with the Georgia Chiropractic Association and the International Chiropractic Association.
My take on true health...
My health philosophy is simple. True health comes from a properly functioning nervous system. Your nervous system controls every process in your body, from your immune system to the functioning of your organs and muscles. When your nervous system is not able to function properly, commonly from the interference of spinal misalignments, your body is not able to function at 100%, causing ill-health and "disease". I feel that everyone should have the benefit of pure health through Chiropractic! It's safe, effective and doesn't require harmful drugs or painful surgery . More and more people around the world are discovering the benefits of Chiropractic care. This is because it is founded on the principles of overall wellness and not on treating symptoms.
Chiropractors need chiropractic care too!
Chiropractic has played a huge role in my own personal health as well. I receive adjustments from my Chiropractor on a weekly basis while watching my overall health and wellness constantly grow to new heights.
As a professional chiropractor in Buford, I do my best to stay abreast of all the latest happenings in the field of chiropractic care. This amazing profession never ceases to amaze me and my aim is to help as many people as I can on a daily basis. I am as excited about this profession as the day I graduated from college. When I look into a patient’s happy face...that is all the motivation I need to come to work the next day and do my best to improve their overall health.
