A year-round swimmer since middle school, Dr. Minton started experiencing shoulder and low back problems when he was in high school. “I waited for it to go away, then started taking ibuprofen. It wasn’t helping.” His coach recommended that he start seeing a chiropractor. Once under care, Dr. Minton found relief from his pain, and regular care kept him injury-free for the rest of his swimming career.

He’d always known that he wanted to enter the health care field. “I liked the way chiropractors looked at health. You didn’t have to take a drug or have surgery to get better.” Dr. Minton shadowed his chiropractor. Once he realized how many suffering people that were helped naturally, he chose to enter the profession.
