While in college Dr. Mike suffered with an
old shoulder injury that escalated into a "frozen shoulder".
Being 18 years old, having lost 90% function of his right
arm, having already been through traditional healthcare, Dr.
Mike was referred to a chiropractor. Within two weeks
the shoulder was 90% improved. Now he has to stop and
think which shoulder was actually hurt. They both do
great. Dr. Mike has been getting adjustments ever
since that injury for whole body health not just for his
shoulder.
Needless to
say this incident changed his future forever. After
undergraduate studies and while at Palmer College of
Chiropractic Dr. Mike met his future wife Amy. Shortly
after graduating the couple made Beatrice their home.
Dr. Mike had grown up in Fairbury so moving back to
southeast Nebraska was like coming home.
Soon children came along. When Graham
was born they were terrified because he was not breathing
and was unresponsive. The umbilical cord was wrapped
around his neck. The cord was quickly removed with no
change. At that moment the midwife handed Graham to
Dr. Mike, he gently felt his neck, found the problem, and
adjusted his tiny neck. Immediately he started crying
and went from a gray color to a healthy pink. Everyone in
the hospital room breathed a sigh of relief, and no invasive
procedures were needed.
When Sydney was born, procedures were much
more predictable and not so intense. Shortly after her
birth she received her first adjustment, and both children
had had regular care their whole life to make sure they have
the highest potential to be healthy. To this day,
neither child has needed prescription medication. It
is an understatement to say chiropractic has changed their
lives.
Most of us don't
think twice about caring for our teeth throughout our whole
life, but when it comes to our spines we don't realize how
it effects our whole health. Dr. Mike has been
entrusted to take care of newborns to patients in their
90's. A higher health potential can be enjoyed at any
age.
