I earned a full football scholarship at Vanderbilt University after my first semester and went on to play twelve years of professional football. All of the teams I played for had chiropractors that would adjust players in the locker room before games.
After talking to Dr. Rich Soria, a chiropractor in Orange County, California, I realized the power of proper spinal alignment and nutrition. He explained how pressure on the nerves of the spine can slow reaction times and the process of healing. Once I experienced these effects first hand, I was hooked. I realized I had to become a chiropractor to provide the life-changing benefits I had experienced to show people how important a healthy nervous system can be.
Coach Steve Watterson of the Houston Oilers summed it up saying, “You have to consider your body like a Ferrari.
You wouldn’t put “bad” gas in a Ferrari would you?” Proper spinal alignment and nutrition help keep your “Ferrari” tuned up and functioning at optimal levels.
We truly are built to be healthy, throughout our lives, however, we sometimes make choices that hinder that from being the case. Lack of exercise, poor nutrition and the stress of everyday life all contribute to less than optimal health.
“The preservation of health is easier than the cure of disease.” – B.J. Palmer
Throughout my studies on chiropractic and nutrition, I have written several helpful books. From nutritional and exercise advice for improving vision to methods for improving golf-specific flexibility and strengthening in order to reduce injuries, I am committed to helping people live a full and healthy life.
