The Skeptic's Journey:
Why I Became a Chiropractor
I was a skeptic before I was a doctor.​
​​​​​
I didn't grow up in a "chiropractic family". In fact, my first experience with the profession was a disappointment.​ Growing up in McCook, Nebraska, in a house with six siblings, life was defined by movement. I played every sport I could get my hands on. But during a high school long jump competition, a lower back injury brought that to a halt. My parents took me to a chiropractor - a profession I had never even heard of. After a few weeks of treatments with zero improvement, I told my parents, "Don't take me back there. They just want your money."​ I walked away convinced chiropractic was a scam.
