I was sandwiched between two cars and I ended up with a whiplash injury to my neck. In my case, the pain was so intense I couldn’t hold my head up straight. It was difficult to turn my head to drive, to look down while studying, and sometimes I couldn’t even tie my shoes.

Not only was I unable to do things that I once enjoyed, but I was scared that I would flunk out of college.

After lots of MRIs and CAT scans, I was told to take painkillers, and muscle relaxers, and to do physical therapy. Nothing I tried worked; in fact, my pain got worse. Finally, a friend of mine convinced me to give his doctor a try. The new doctor performed an exam, took some films, and then “adjusted” my spine. The adjustment didn’t hurt; it actually felt good. I got relief and I could turn my head again.

Did I mention this doctor was a chiropractor? It worked so well for me and I was so impressed with the other “miracles” I saw in his office that I decided to become a chiropractor myself!

I completed my BS at Penn State University and moved to Davenport, Iowa to attend Palmer College of Chiropractic. I graduated second in my class and was named salutatorian of the graduating class of 2001. Upon graduation, I settled in Frederick and opened my own practice. My wife and I have three daughters and we enjoy traveling and spending time together.
