What happened?
While playing high school football, I got a blindside hit to the head and my neck began to seize up. Twenty minutes later I needed to be driven home after my neck turned to concrete and started spasming. Over the course of the following year, I was uncertain how or if the remainder of my life would be controlled by the issues in my neck. At its worst, I found myself in an emergency room confined to a wheelchair as I clenched a piece of cloth in my teeth. My quality of life was affected drastically - I couldn’t go on a holiday, play a sport, or sleep in a compromised position because I knew the slightest trigger would throw me into spasm.
What did I do?
I was lucky enough to have a group of practitioners around me who helped keep these issues mostly at bay. Among these practitioners was a chiropractor who helped me enormously; after working with him through this difficult point in my life, he suggested I look into it as a career. Not long later, I made the decision to enroll at Palmer College in Davenport, Iowa.
