Hello everybody...
I’d like to take this opportunity to introduce myself to those of you that I have not yet had the pleasure of meeting yet. My name is
.
Over the years I have developed an overwhelming passion towards health and well- being. I always knew that I would find myself serving people in health care however little did I know that I would be impacting people’s lives through the natural healing powers of chiropractic. I was actually introduced to chiropractic first, as a patient. As a youngster my life revolved around sport, in particularly Rugby League. If I wasn’t playing, I was training or watching the top grade. To this day I will never forget the last game that I played in High School….
The game was just about over, I found myself with the ball, as I was being tackled to the ground my head crashed into another player’s knee, and I heard a sudden loud crack in my neck, which echoed in my ears. I instantly hit the ground, fearing the worst…
I was overcome with relief when I realized that I was able to gently move my fingers and toes. All precautions were taken and I was supported towards the sideline. From that moment on my health deteriorated. I developed a constant pain down the right side of my neck, daily debilitating headaches, always felt fatigued and found it very difficult to concentrate. This being a real concern as I was in my final year of high school. I could only manage one hour of study before the headaches would intensify. I became very frustrated with my studies and highly stressed as I would found myself under prepared for critical HSC examinations. My parents helped me the best way they knew how, lots of support and took me to various doctors who prescribed me with intense pain killers, which helped relieve the pain. However I became addicted to pain killers, carrying them with me every day to school, as I knew how intense the headaches could become.
I was introduced to chiropractic by a friend, having no idea what chiropractic was, I agreed to go through desperation. The chiropractor explained to me that my neck was out of alignment and which was putting pressure on my nerves. Causing my body to breakdown leading to the symptoms I was suffering with. He also explained to be me that nerve flow through the body was essential to achieving maximum health and healing. This seemed so simple and yet made so much sense to me…
The chiropractor started to correct my spine, giving me instant relief with my neck pain, and my headaches gradually eased. Being introduced to chiropractic not only allowed me to regain my health at that critical time in my life, I can also honestly say it changed my life. Today I am blessed to be practicing chiropractic and witnessing everyday the positive changes in people’s health and therefore there lives.
