What drives me in my work: the positive impacts on people’s lives

When someone’s symptoms are alleviated, their entire way of being shifts in the most palpable way. This impacts us all in the world. The more people that I am able to work with and help, the better I get at what I do, and the more people I can then help. The relationship is symbiotic.

In 1992, I was living in Las Vegas and attending the University of Nevada on track for medical school. Simultaneously, I was experiencing horrible back pain from a childhood injury. There was a nearby chiropractic office with a sign, “Chiropractic/Kinesiologists.” I was curious. I had tried chiropractic without much success, but not in conjunction with kinesiology.

Once inside this apothecary-like office, I was in complete awe. After taking a history and doing an examination, my doctor began to ‘push’ on my muscles. He would touch a particular point on my body, and the muscle he pushed would somehow remain strong or become weak no matter how hard I tried. It was like a light switch - the muscle was either on or off.

After three visits, the pain I had been living with for years started to dissipate. When I expressed my amazement at the unexpected results, my Dr. asked if I had considered chiropractic school. I told him it had not interested me in the past because of the limited results of chiropractic treatment alone.

However, after experiencing chiropractic combined with applied kinesiology I knew that my path had to change. It was then I abandoned the idea of medical school. One year later I entered chiropractic school while simultaneously taking courses to become a certified applied kinesiologist.
