Why do you become a chiropractor?

People often ask me why do you become a chiropractor? It always starts like this:
I was an athletic trainer while in college back in Taiwan. I was helping athletes with various sports injuries ranging from sprain/strain to post surgical rehabilitation. It was a great time in my life applying what I learned in class and helping people out. In my senior year while preparing for GRE and graduate school, out of the blue my dad told me about chiropractic. He heard about chiropractic through his friend in Japan and saw the chiropractor due to his chronic low back pain. After his adjustment, he felt much better. He came home and told me about it. I was skeptical at first but later I requested information from chiropractic schools in the USA. After reviewing all the materials, I decided to study chiropractic instead of going to graduate school. At that time the chiropractic curriculum looked pretty intense and just a lot more than graduate school. But I liked the challenge and believed that I can do it. Therefore I left Taiwan and came to the USA for chiropractic school. As after four long years of studying I got my degree in early 2005 and started practicing chiropractic. As a chiropractor I can offer more than treating sports injuries, but see patients in all age group and many different conditions. This is my story. You can email me at info@activespines.com
