I have always been interested in health and have participated in many sports since I was a young boy. This included Judo, where I was a Jr. Silver medalist, football and wrestling. How I Made the Decision to Become a Chiropractor I was taking pre-med classes to become an orthopedist and working at the Mayo Clinic, while training for a sprint triathlon, when I began to have low back pain and pain down my left leg. The doctors that I was training with assured me that they would be able to help me. They provided me with anti-inflammatories and pain medicine that not only did not help me, but it had its own set of side effects. They tried sending me to Physical Therapy, which helped slightly, but I still continued to have this awful pain. It was not long before I tried Chiropractic out of desperation. I had heard very little about it and was more than skeptical at first, but I held in there followed up as recommended, and kept learning more and more about how you can treat the actual cause of the pain rather than masking it with pain medication. It wasn’t long before I began to see phenomenal results! hat was the moment that I decided that I wanted to become a Chiropractor. It made perfect sense to me.
