Michael sums up his path to chiropractic like this: "Chiropractic changed my life.  I suffered from birth with chronic ear infections and asthma. After trying everything else, including countless of rounds of antibiotics, my parents finally took me to a chiropractor when I was three years old.  After my first adjustment I began to breathe normally for the first time in my life. Soon afterward my ear infections went away.  As a high school athlete, my chiropractor helped keep me healthy and on the field or mat by keeping my joints moving and healthy through the abuse of frequent practices, games and meets.  This allowed me to excel, and go the State level in wrestling. My mission is to create a health system that changes lives, moving people past pain and sickness and into wellness!"
