I had the special opportunity to help a young athlete this past fall. Taking care of him got me thinking of how I got into chiropractic. Just like him, I had hurt my neck playing high school football. Little did I know this would shape my life and the lives of many others that I would meet in the many years to come. I remember it like it was yesterday. I was in junior high and we had our usual football practice after school. I was on what we called the scout defense team for practice. Which just meant we weren’t good enough to start but were good at being “tackling and blocking dummies”. I was playing defensive end and the offensive play was a running play with the opposite guard pulling to block me. Well, I didn’t see it coming and took a helmet to the left side of my head. Initially I was stunned but I didn’t notice any major pain and like a kid proving himself, I just kept playing. The next morning, I woke up a little sore in my neck but it wasn’t until I was in the shower getting ready for school that my neck got stuck to the left side and any attempt to move it sent sharp pains shooting through it. I immediately got out the shower and wrapped a towel around myself and went and found my mother to tell her what was going on. I was in so much pain and didn’t know what to do other than trying to not move my neck at all. This is where my life could have taken so many different paths but I am so fortunate that my mother was familiar with Chiropractic and took me to the Chiropractor my father had seen. I have to admit I was so scared to let anyone touch my neck because of how much it hurt but I agreed to go. This was the first time I met Dr. Espy. Initially he was very intimidating because he was the size of an NFL linebacker but I soon learned he was a gentle teddy bear of a guy. He explained everything to us before he did anything and let me know he could help. I would be lying if I said that first adjustment didn’t hurt but afterwards, but I could tell something was different. We came back a few days later for my next adjustment and this time it was so much easier and I could fully move my neck with minimal pain. This is when I knew that I wanted to help people like this for a career. I can’t help but think that if my mother wouldn’t have known about chiropractic, I would have ended up on medication masking the symptoms and not correcting the structural issue? Unfortunately, I see this all too often in practice. That’s why I think it’s so important to share my experiences with patients I help in the office. There is a saying on the wall in my office that rings true with each life I touch: “You never know how far reaching something we may think, say or do today will affect the lives of millions tomorrow.” B.J. Palmer. This brings me to a special invitation. Is your child in all kinds of sports that are taking its toll on their body?
