What made you want to be a chiropractor?
"When I was a teenager, participating in golf and cheerleading actively, I started to get a super weird sensation in my middle back that just would never go away. I went to the doctor and was prescribed pain medicine. Never being a big fan of having to take pills, I decided to ask my dad about the time he went to the chiropractor. My parents decided to make me an appointment at the local chiropractor instead of getting my prescription filled. After my first visit to Dr. Pappas, I was amazed at how much better I felt! My pain had decreased exponentially and after a few adjustments and thankfully, to this day, my back has never had that feeling in it again! I was amazed at the doctor's ability to cure a mechanical problem within my body using only his hands and ever since then I knew wanted to be able to give the gift of chiropractic to others!"
