Why Dr. Harris
Chose Chiropractic as His Profession
Like many chiropractors, I chose
chiropractic for my profession because I was once helped by a
chiropractor. When I was a teenager, about 15, I suffered
greatly from seasonal allergies. Spring and Fall were especially
difficult times. I first sought relief from over the counter
decongestants and antihistamines. The only ones that gave me any
temporary relief at all also had the side effect of making me tired
all day. Which, in turn, disturbed my sleep.
My parents then took me to our family
medical doctor, who, of course, treated me with more powerful
medicine. When that also failed, I went to a medical
specialist who gave me different medicine which failed again.
Finally, out of desperation after about 2 years of suffering, my
parents took me to their chiropractor because "some-times it's good
for other things than just back pain" (One of my earliest memories
is that of my dad practically crawling into the chiropractic office
and walking out straight a short time later.) This was a totally
different experience for me than what I was used to. Treated
only with adjustments, I improved immediately. As I walked out
of the office my sinuses "opened-up" and I could smell "Spring
time." I realized then that I hadn't been able to smell
anything for over a year. In just 3 visits I was 90% better
and on that 3rd visit I asked Dr. Smith how to become a chiropractor
- as I wanted to help people through chiropractic care like I had
been helped.
In addition to successfully treating
thousands of patients over the years, I have had the pleasure of
witnessing chiropractic care benefit my own family, my wife's back
pain during her pregnancies, treating my daughter's many injuries
through her years of gymnastics, and training my son to be a
national record holder in power lifting. It's really neat to
have your kids come up to you and ask, "Dad, would you adjust me?"
To Your Best of Health,
Dr. John A. Harris
