After having an attack, chiropractic treatment gave me relief and to this day helps me control it! I am actually able to run longer than 5 minutes without losing my breath, have completed several ½ marathons and just completed my first full marathon in October 2009.” “My mother was my first chiropractic patient. She was suffering from spinal arthritis and was no longer able to play golf or tennis. After one year of treatment, she was able to do both sports…on the same day! It is my goal to keep people active for as long as possible and educate everyone about the great benefits of chiropractic care. My mother is my inspiration.”
