His Story
Journey to Becoming a Chiropractor
Dr. Brian Ross had a corporate job while living in New York. Part of his job was to photograph and inspect buildings. While photographing a building he was backing up to fit the building in the frame of the camera when suddenly he was struck from behind by a vehicle and flipped over onto the street. The driver took off! Dr. Ross could not feel his legs. He was taken to the hospital and evaluated and the Orthopedic physician stated “I don’t know”. He said I will call a Neurologist. The Neurologist examined him and came to the same conclusion that he did not understand the cause of the tingling and numbness in the legs. They gave him medications from the hospital and sent him home. He stayed home on worker’s compensation. Several weeks later his friends came by and told him “we are taking you to a chiropractor”. Dr. Ross was very reluctant but relented that he needed help. He spent time with the Chiropractor asking lots of questions. The Chiropractor pointed out honestly that they could not guarantee full restoration of feeling to his legs however the Chiropractor it was possible to regain approximately 80% of feeling in his legs. Dr. Ross agreed and after 9 months of care the feeling returned to his legs. He had no more symptoms after that point.
The Chiropractor told Dr. Ross “you should do this”. Dr. Ross agreed he contacted Chiropractic schools and found out all the requirements to gain admittance. He went out while working at his current job and completed pre-med in addition to his bachelor’s degree. He was granted admission to a school and from the time that he left the Chiropractor’s care and night school and Chiropractic school the journey took 10 years to complete. He studied several specialties beyond the Chiropractic school curriculum including Postural Correction, Instrument Adjusting with Activator. He also studied a post-doctoral program in the specialty of Neurological diagnosis. He has had additional education in the treatment of extremities. (Foot, ankle, knee, wrists and shoulders.)
Chiropractic is not a typical career path. In Dr. Ross’ case he believes he was “chosen by accident to become a Chiropractor.
Dr. Ross feels it is important to treat the whole body holistically. He balances you from your feet to your head on every visit. This opens up the nervous system, allowing the brain to reconnect with the body and the body to reconnect to the brain. Once this is achieved, total healing will occur. The body can heal from the inside out.
