Bonus
- I became a Chiropractor because post-graduation I started experiencing painful headaches and back pain that were not getting better over time. I went to Dr. Caz Goodman who not only explained to me the importance of chiropractic care for my health, but helped relieve the pain that was completely gone after a couple visits. That experience happened in 2008 and I have been regularly adjusted ever since. Shortly after that, I applied to Chiropractic school instead of pursuing my degree in Physical Therapy.
