Chiropractic stopped my back pain

My back soreness started back in undergrad, related to many years of unaddressed sports injuries.

I didn't realize at the time that this is where it all started but I do now. After having a disc injury playing rugby and being unable to stand up straight at age 25, I knew I needed to do something.

I went to see Dr. Mat a local chiropractor and he explained how I had been training wrong in the gym my entire life and how this caused my back to be an accident waiting to happen.

After a few adjustments and spinal decompression sessions I began to see some improvement.

After a couple months of care and relearning how to move correctly in rehab, my back pain was completely gone. That was years ago and I feel great.
