My Chiropractic Story
While playing collegiate soccer, I suffered a hip and groin injury that left me sidelined. Months of pain medication and muscle relaxers prescribed by the team doctor brought no improvement. Out of options, I followed a teammate’s advice and visited a local chiropractor.
Within a short time, my hip and groin pain were gone. After six months of corrective chiropractic care, I no longer needed my asthma inhaler, and a recurring bacterial infection in my right eye completely disappeared. My ophthalmologist was baffled, but I knew what had changed — my body had finally been allowed to heal itself.
That experience changed my life. I realized chiropractic wasn’t just about pain relief but about restoring the body’s God-designed potential. I thought, if chiropractic could do this for me, what could it do for everyone else?
Soon after, I moved to Georgia to attend Life University, where I earned my Doctorate of Chiropractic and met my amazing wife, Dr. Amanda Hess. Together, we founded Discover Chiropractic in Stockbridge, Georgia, which has grown into one of the most impactful chiropractic offices in the nation. Today, we are honored to co-lead the practice alongside Dr. Chandler Cook and Samantha Cook, serving families and inspiring thousands through the message of Above Down Inside Out principled chiropractic care.
