My introduction to Chiropractic came when I was 23 years old. I was a Royal Marine Commando at the time working in Norway during a winter deployment. We were scaling a large ice wall as we had done many times before. Obviously, with this type of activity there is a serious risk of falling onto thick, hard ice. Unfortunately this is what happened to me, from 20 feet.

I was given a course of Physiotherapy for 3 months but nothing seemed to help and the medication just kept getting stronger! One of the Physiotherapists was a friend of mine who suggested I go privately and see a Chiropractor as everyone was slowly giving up on me with my job in jeopardy.

The Chiropractor explained how my body could, if helped, heal itself. He told me that rehabilitation exercises alone couldn’t correct the pressure on my nerve that was causing both muscle and joint pain.

All of these started me on a journey which led eventually, after 4 years of college, to having the good fortune of working each day with a growing selection of people who are also making the right choices, and for each one the part that I play in improving their quality of life is a great reward for all my efforts.   ... read more»
