How did I discover Chiropractic?
My Chiropractic Story: Part 1.
I was AcroYoga instructor and acrobat at the time, and I was attempting a skill on the edge of my abilities. Tragically, something went wrong in the subtle connection between me and my partner. The result was a dislocated shoulder and torn transverse ligament (the one that holds the biceps tendon in place). This happened just before an AcroYoga convention and I was feeling very down sitting on the sidelines of the event with an injury, fearing that I may never be able to return to the sport due to the severity of the injury.
A friend saw me sitting on the sidelines and asked if she could help. She said I’m a chiropractor and if your open to it, I think I could help you with that. I had never tried chiropractic care, and I had some doubts that it could help me… As I was certain I needed surgery. But I said why not give this a whirl, it will be cheaper and with none of the dangers of anesthesia nor surgery itself.
I went under the care of the friend and also a world-famous chiropractor up in Orange County. Within a few months my shoulder was back to a pretty good place where I could return to sport and activity. This was nothing short of a miraculous recovery, especially the speed at which it all occurred.
The wildest part about this experience was that in the process of receiving chiropractic care for my shoulder and spine, I also experienced resolution of my lifelong struggles with allergies and insomnia. For the first time in my adult life I was sleeping easily and through the night, and I was breathing easily. I told my chiropractor about these changes, and he replied“this is the beauty of the human body, if you remove the obstacles to healing, the body will work miracles. Welcome to the world of chiropractic.”
Inspired!!!
