At the age of 17, I broke my neck in a swimming accident. For years, I suffered with severe pain and numbness into my extremities that limited my activities despite every effort to get better. I consulted 12 different medical specialists, from Neurosurgeons to Rehab Medicine doctors. I am very thankful for all the input I received but, in the end, I was basically given two choices: take pain killers for the rest of my life to manage the pain or exploratory surgery. Neither was appealing to me because of the associated long-term risks. 3 years in, I ended up meeting a Dr. Drury in my hometown. He performed an exam and consult and determined he could help. To be honest, at that point I was skeptical because no one had been able to help to this point. Within a few months, all pain and restrictions were gone. It changed my life. And I switched my focus from pursuing medicine to becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic.
