How Chiropractic helped personally: 

When I was a senior in high school, I was involved in a motor vehicle accident where I flipped an SUV five times and totaled the vehicle. I went through the entire medical route from the Emergency room, Primary Care Physician, Orthopedist, Neurologist & Physical Therapy, etc., trying to find a solution to my pain (headaches, neck, shoulder, lower back pain, sleeping problems), with little to no results. I suffered for almost a year with no relief! After trying numerous over-the-counter medications and prescription medications my medical doctor told me I should see a Chiropractor. Thank goodness I did!  The Chiropractic Physician examined me and then proceeded to x-ray me.  He then explained why my problems were "physical" and not "chemical", and why the medications were only giving me temporary relief and not fixing the true problem. He designed a treatment schedule for my specific problem.  After a couple of treatments, I noticed that I was not having nearly as much pain, my headaches were decreasing, and I was finally beginning to be able to sleep again.  A couple months went by and I noticed that I had not had any of the symptoms that I had previously had.  My quality of life was much improved!  It was at this point and time I realized that this was a profession and a lifestyle that I wanted to be a part of.  This is when I dedicated my life to becoming a Chiropractic Physician and helping others through Chiropractic Care.

 How Chiropractic helped personally:

When I was 18 years old, I injured my back while water skiing. After a week of agonizing low back and leg pain, I went to a doctor who referred me to an orthopedist and later to a neurologist. After an MRI, I was diagnosed with two herniated discs in my low back. The pain in my back began to radiate down to my right lower leg. The pain immediately impacted every aspect of my life. I could no longer play sports or be active with my friends. The pain was excruciating. My leg not only hurt when I was active, but, even more so when I was sitting. Sitting through my college classes was almost unbearable and concentrating on my studies was nearly impossible. The strong pain killers and muscle relaxants I was forced to take further impaired my efforts to study. After months of prescription drugs and two epidural steroid injections that did more to further disrupt my life than ease the pain, I was willing to try anything. I was quickly scheduled for back surgery. While the surgery was beneficial in relieving the pain, I had lost an entire semester of college to the procedure and rehabilitation.

I am an avid sportsman and golfer. I grew up in the Pee Dee area and love it here. I was raised in Latta, SC. After high school, I attended Clemson University and graduated with a degree in Health Sciences. I earned my Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. Throughout my career I have wanted to return to the Pee Dee region. I am happy to be back where I belong and doing what I love, helping people through Chiropractic.

I love to coach kids' soccer and watch the sun go down while fishing. I attended FMU until I made a decision to serve my country in the U.S. Navy. I worked as a Hospital Corpsman serving both my fellow sailors and marines. I later completed school at Skagit Valley College in Washington state.
