The rest of the story
I’ve talked a lot on my blog about my disability. However; my trauma-informed approach also grew from abuse I’d suffered as a child.
A natural helper
It’s natural for a kid who was around doctors and healthcare to look to that as an option for the future – and I was no exception.
Looking for answers
At 16, I had an X-ray taken of my foot because I continued to have pain during exercise. At that point, I had already torn the ACL in my right knee playing soccer. My pediatric orthopedic specialist told me that if I didn't slow down from playing sports, I'd be in a wheelchair by age forty.
Anything but normal
After enduring over a dozen surgeries, I was cleared to live a "normal" life at age 12. Physically, I found a way to function independently, but my adolescence was anything but normal.
Finding the right fit
Being limb-different can be frustrating at times because we live in a world that's designed for able-bodied people.
Surgeries & Shoes
I vividly remember my first pair of shoes that came from a store and weren't prescribed by a physician.
My Superpower
I'd be lying if I said that I chose chiropractic as my profession. Instead, Chiropractic chose me. It chose me because of my superpower: my disability.
