Liz, I so enjoyed reading your passion for Upper Cervical Chiro. My son, Dr. Michael Wagner, sent this interview for me to read. My UV doctor, here in Indiana, is a distance away but it is worth the drive. (He also does ‘full spine adjustments which tells me his passion is not really with UV) I would love to have one in Greenwood or Southern Indianapolis, IN. I am certainly an advocate and pray that others can read this and have their eyes opened.

When I read your story Liz, it touched every cell in my body! I tingled all over! Liz, you really are an inspiration to chiropractic students and doctors, to patients of chiropractic and to us mothers! I know that day to day can probably be up and down for you, which is why we are all behind you even so much more. You have inspired Brandon. This blog has been a long time coming for him, but your example kicked him into gear! For that I thank you. With UC being his calling and now a way to share that passion and reach out to all, he is more fulfilled then I have ever seen him! (See, us women are really the strength Thank you for sharing Liz!!!!

Ryan: I’m really happy you enjoy the blog. I wanted to make a difference NOW while I’m in school as opposed to waiting for when I get out of school. I should say that Liz, and her story, really inspired me to do more in whatever way I can. The Atlas of Life is how I’m doing it.

This is a great testament to Chiropractic. As students, I’d like you to consider the possibility that the true practice of Chiropractic or TIC has more to do with the ‘why’ and the ‘when’ than with the ‘how’. Chiropractic philosophy provides the ‘why’. Chiropractic analysis provides the ‘when’. The application of force is dependent upon the person applying the force. Some can provide a spectacular diversified movement. Others can perform a seated Gonstead movement with blazing speed, and yet side posture toggle recoil is synonymous with Upper Cervical Chiropractic.

I wish you well on your journey.

Liz and Brandon,

Love it! Liz, your upper cervical/chiropractic/life story is one of courage all around. A single mom, having chosen what many consider as the fringe of chiropractic– you are a pioneer. Look out Portland! I get excited to think about how many students you will inspire and mentor at Western States when you return to practice. Brandon, this blog I can not reiterate enough was one of the best ideas in upper cervical yet. Sorry, I just can’t contain myself.

Liz, your story is interesting in that when I heard Dr. Kessinger speak at his Instrumentation seminar at the Isle of Capri in Bettendorf, I left that seminar with absolute conviction that upper cervical was more than an academic interest of mine, it was my calling. Dr. K gave me my first UC adjustment which changed my life. Since then, I have found NUCCA which I believe fits my personality better that KCUCS, but I am forever indebted to that man.

I look forward to getting to know both of you better. What a great way to start off a day.
