I became a Chiropractor because of my Mum


It all started when I was 10. My Mum was in a car accident and was hit from behind- she never saw it coming. She had a severe whiplash injury to her neck and chronic pain developed. Nothing was helping her much to get better- then someone suggested she try Chiropractic care.

As a kid, I didn’t really know what a Chiropractor was or what they did but I did understand the effect the chronic pain was having on my Mum. She was struggling to keep up with work and our busy family of four daughters and seemed cranky all the time. But once she had Chiropractic care - she started to get better!

All I knew was I was getting a happier Mum back again. I happened to go along with her to an appointment one day. When I watched the Chiropractor adjust her- it blew my tiny mind- it was amazing and I was instantly inspired! I saw what he did and I thought - I want to be able to do that!

Mum got up from the table and smiled -something she had been doing more of again since seeing the Chiro. Over the course of the next year, she continued to improve. As Mum learned more about Chiropractic she made sure each of our family got under care. We each had all sorts of issues - my dad had chronic bad pain- my sisters - one had asthma, one had headaches and even me - I had developed neck problems after an athletic injury. So Chiropractic became a normal part of our’s family’s healthcare approach.
