Meet Dr. Adam DeLaForest
As a teenager, Dr. DeLaForest experienced debilitating headaches following numerous contact injuries while playing football and wrestling. He went to his medical doctor and tried numerous painkillers and muscle relaxants. “My mom decided to bring me to her chiropractor. She wanted to see if there was anything he could do for me.” After three weeks of care, Dr. DeLaForest’s headaches and neck pain had gone away completely.
Amazed by the results he experienced, Dr. DeLaForest had a lot of questions about chiropractic. “I hoped someday I would be able to help other people the same way my chiropractor had helped me.”
