I had a constant headache for most of my life. It wasn’t a once in a while headache—it was EVERY SINGLE DAY… And here’s the messed-up part… I didn’t tell anyone.

I mean, what was the point? My parents had already taken me to every doctor they could think of or was suggested. Neurologists, specialists, you name it. Everyone ran their tests and came back with the same answer: There’s nothing wrong with you.

So eventually, I stopped talking about it, even though I suffered with headache pain every single day.

It’s strange what your brain will normalize when there’s no other option.

Years later, I ended up in chiropractic school. And get this—I had never been to a chiropractor in my life. I didn’t have neck pain. No car accident injuries. I had no reason to go. Honestly, I thought chiropractic was just for people who threw out their backs or had neck pain. So I didn’t think it would apply to me.

So I’m sitting in class one day, and one of my classmates—a second-generation chiropractor—said, “You should go get a chiropractic check-up exam like you get your teeth checked every year.”

So I scheduled an appointment with a local chiropractor. Now to be honest, I didn’t think a chiropractor would be able to help with my headaches. I really just wanted to see what an exam was like because I figured it would help me in my studies.

But what happened next changed my life forever.

During the exam the doctor said, “Do you ever get headaches?”

I was completely blown away because I purposely didn’t mention my headaches on the paperwork so I responded, “Maybe—why do you ask??”

The doctor pointed to a small area on my X-ray and said “Because based on this, I’d be surprised if you didn’t.”

That was the first time in my life someone had looked at me and understood something I’d stopped trying to explain.

I was stunned and didn’t have a clue what to say. How could this doctor look at the x-rays and so quickly identify that I was suffering with headaches?

And even though I was skeptical, I decided to get my first chiropractic adjustment that day.

And two weeks later, my headache was completely gone…

Gone.

After years of constant pain, after thinking this was just the way life was gonna be… it was gone in just two weeks.

This is when I discovered that the body can heal itself with a small and simple adjustment of the spine.

This is why I became a chiropractor.
