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 camera's frame when he was struck by a vehicle. 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 to go to a Neurologist. The Neurologist examined him and concluded that he did not understand the cause of the tingling and numbness in his legs. They gave him medications and sent him home. 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 complete restoration of feeling to his legs. However, the Chiropractor thought it was possible to regain approximately 80% of the feeling in his legs. Dr. Ross agreed, and after nine months of care, the feeling returned to his legs. He had no more symptoms, and it has never returned.
The Chiropractor told Dr. Ross, "you should do this ." Dr. Ross agreed and contacted Chiropractic schools and discovered all the requirements for admittance. While working at his current job, he started night classes and completed pre-med. He selected Life College of Chiropractic West, south of San Francisco. He studied several specialties beyond the Chiropractic school curriculum, including Postural Correction and 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.)
Continuing Education: CRM Contact Reflex Analysis in conjunction with Standard Process Nutraceuticals (Manually testing the body to locate the nutritional deficiencies and organ deficits).
Chiropractic is not a typical career path. In Dr. Ross' case, he believes he was "chosen by accident to become a Chiropractor.
The body can heal from the inside out. Dr. Ross feels it is essential 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.
