Here's something you might not know about me. It changed course of my life and is a BIG reason I'm committed to paying it forward. I grew up in small town Brillion, about 25 miles east of Neenah. I was very active in sports throughout elementary and junior high, once I reached high school, I took a keen liking to football and basketball. I wasn’t a regular in the chiropractic office when I was playing.
However, knowing what I know now, I wish I had been after sustaining my fair share of injuries (including a career ending knee injury my senior year of high school).
My introduction into the world of chiropractic wasn’t due to my injuries, but my mom’s.
After a varsity football game, my mom followed the bus home like every other Friday night. Things took a turn when she was T-boned and was left bruised and battered, but ok. That was until the next day, she couldn’t move, stand, and even laying was painful.
Countless therapies and surgical consults revealed that a surgical spinal stimulator was her best option.
In my mom’s own words, she didn’t want a battery in her back to be pain free and to be “normal.” Enter Dr. Grant O’ Brien. She was referred to Align Chiropractic to help with her pain management.
At the time, I was just tagging along for some of the visits, little did I know this would spark the interest that would lead me to choosing my career.
I was unknowingly shadowing Dr. Grant and further growing interest in the profession. Fast forward 7 years and way too many years of schooling, I received a call from Dr. Grant asking if I would like to team up with him and his partner in crime, Dr. Alyssa, at Align Chiropractic.
The answer came quick and just like that I found myself back in a small town in Wisconsin, helping those, just like my mother. I have seen first hand how the power of chiropractic not only impacts the patient themselves, but their loved ones as well.
This brings me to a special invitation.
