What led Dr. Stephens to Chiropractic?
When I was a Freshman in high school, I dislocated my left elbow in a wrestling match. The conventional medical rehabilitation protocol was a period of sling immobilization lasting 3 to 4 weeks. Following the sling immobilization, rehab lasted months to address muscle atrophy and loss of range of motion. Regrettably, this prolonged recovery period resulted in my absence from the remainder of the wrestling season.
In my senior year of football, I experienced a dislocation of my right elbow, prompting a realization that a different rehabilitative approach was needed. Seeking an alternative, I consulted a chiropractor who advocated for getting motion in the joint as soon as possible. With this deviation from conventional practices, we discontinued the use of the sling, commenced laser therapy, and initiated a regimen focused on strengthening and mobilizing the joint. This proactive approach facilitated my return to the football season within a mere week.
These experiences marked not only a physical journey but also a profound realization that individualized and proactive care could redefine the trajectory of a patient's care. Witnessing firsthand the effectiveness of targeted interventions and the importance of personalized strategies in expediting recovery, I found my calling.
These episodes became the catalyst for my journey into the chiropractic profession.
