My Love For All things Chiropractic and Acupuncture
Just a little bit about myself. I was born in the great city of Memphis, TN, which is my mothers home town. My father is a recently retired Optometrist from Hutchinson, KS, where I spent my formidable years. I have also spent a number of years in Boulder, CO, Austin, TX and Minneapolis, MN where I went to college at Northwestern Health Sciences University to become a Chiropractor.
My interest in becoming a Chiropractor began when I was about 21 after having suffered through a horrible bout of low back pain while working in construction in my hometown of Hutchinson, KS. I was referred by my father to a husband/wife Chiropractic team for care and was thoroughly astounded by how quickly they were able to get me back to work at what was a very labor intense job. They never over-treated me, and they taught me the things that I could do for myself to help me help myself. I am forever grateful to them for showing me a better way to heal, than just popping a pill.
As life moved forward, I always remembered what the good doctors had done for me, and felt like becoming a Chiropractor would be a perfect fit. But this dream was not to be for some time to come. Through circumstance, I eventually found myself in Minneapolis where I soon stumbled across a great Chiropractic College, which is now Northwestern Health Sciences University. With my families blessing, I almost immediately began the arduous task of completing over seven years of College. Then Clinical trials and lastly the long series of Chiropractic Board Exams.
During Chiropractic Boards, I was invited into what is called a Preceptorship, with a fine Doctor of Chiropractic in St. Paul, MN. He was also kind enough to offer me a place to practice after I completed all my boards and was granted my Doctorate in Chiropractic. I spent the next 11 years practicing Chiropractic in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area.
During this time, I also discovered a niche market of patients that was in need of care. It was those patients who could not make it out of their homes to see a Chiropractor, or those who simply lacked transportation or the means to travel to a doctors appointment. It was then that I started to develop what I call a Mobile Chiropractic Practice, where I set appointments accordingly, and travel with a portable Chiropractic table, therapy equipment, and Acupuncture gear to a number of my patients homes.
Obviously, this takes some balancing of patients and I soon found the need to also see patients in the evening and on weekends in order to make sure they can be seen, and get the treatment they need. This is the same business model that I currently follow here in Omaha, NE. I am frequently called out in the evening, on Sundays and even holidays to see patients who have no one else to call. Sometimes it's because they can't reach their regular Chiropractor or Acupuncturist because of the hour or the day. No problem! I will gladly treat a patient on an emergency basis and send them back to the doctor they normally see.
My main goal is to help people when they need help...not just when it's convenient for me!
