Like with many chiropractors, Dana was introduced to chiropractic care first-hand. When he was a 14-year-old football player he was speared in the back during an afternoon practice. The pain was immediate but tolerable.
 
However, like many injuries, the real issues manifested when Dana started losing the ability to perform routine activities. Walking, running, sleeping, and even sneezing became a chore for an otherwise active 14-year-old.
 
The pain of running across the football field was too debilitating to continue playing and it soon became clear this wasn't something that would just go away.
