Sometimes life has a way of showing us our true calling. I was a college biology major, planning to become either a medical doctor or veterinarian, when everything changed in an instant.

During shot put practice, a sudden, excruciating pain shot through my lower back like a red-hot spike. I collapsed, unable to stand, my legs twitching uncontrollably. At 19, I went from being a healthy college athlete to someone who couldn't walk upright.

The team doctor diagnosed muscle spasms and prescribed pain medication that provided minimal relief over two months. An orthopedic surgeon's solution? "You need back surgery." Neither doctor had performed a thorough examination or taken X-rays, yet surgery was being presented as my only option.

Fortunately, our trainer suggested something I'd never heard of, a chiropractor. From the moment I walked into that office, I knew it was different. This doctor actually examined me, spent time understanding my condition, and took X-rays that revealed what was really happening.

Within two weeks of chiropractic treatment, I was running again. The surgery I was told was my "only option" became completely unnecessary.

"Within two weeks of chiropractic treatment, I was running again. The surgery I was told was my "only option" became completely unnecessary."

That experience didn't just heal my back, it transformed my life's direction. Over the past 38 years, I've helped thousands of patients who were in situations just like mine: told they needed surgery or powerful medications when safer, more effective alternatives existed.

At Canty Chiropractic, every patient receives the thorough examination and personalized care I wish I had received from the beginning. Because I believe everyone deserves to know all their options before making life-changing medical decisions.
