“There Is Always Another Answer”
Dr. Adrian B. Hunter has led an active lifestyle his whole life. He has participated in a lot of different activities, but fitness is the one that has grasped most of his time. Growing up, Dr. Hunter spent most of his free time teaching, training and competing. After graduating college he decided to become a professional trainer and competitor full time. During a routine grappling class Dr. Hunter was teaching a simple throw to one of his larger students and felt a very painful “POP” in his low back. Pain is sometimes apart of training, so he “sucked it up’ and finished the class and even did some additional training later that evening. The next morning, Dr. Hunter got out of bed and was in excruciating pain! He was doubled over in 9/10 pain and could do nothing that day and the next. He went to the hospital and was referred to a specialist. The specialist told him he may need surgery. Dr. Hunter had one major question. “How will this affect my fitness career?” Dr. Hunter didn’t like the answer. The doctor told him “martial arts was too much on his backend to find another line of work”. Dr. Hunter didn’t know what to do after that conversation. By the grace of God Dr. Hunter ran in to a fraternity brother who saw how hurt he was. This fraternity brother just happened to be a chiropractor, by the name of Dr. Raphael Okonkwor. Dr. Hunter told Dr. Raphael his story. Dr. Raphael made a “we will see about that” face and told Dr. Hunter to come visit his office.
The Adjustment that LITERALLY Changed my Life
Dr. Hunter went to see Dr. Raphael and had an exam done. He said he didn’t agree with the specialist. He did say that Dr. Hunter need some extensive care. During the consultation, Dr. Raphael explained that this problem didn’t happen over night. Dr. Hunter reported that he had been having significant back pain since he was a teenager. Dr. Raphael said that the recent trauma just seemed like, “the straw that broke the camels back”. He then did scans of on Dr Hunter’s back, explained chiropractic and gave Dr. Hunter his first adjustment. Dr. Hunter felt instant relief! He was still in pain, but felt a remarkable reduction and an increased ability to walk properly. This was mind blowing. At first, Dr. Hunter was at the office every day for the first week. Then 3xper week and then 2 per week and so on. It took about 3 and 1/2 months, but in the end there was in no pain with zero drugs and no surgery. He continued to see Dr Raphael through out his martial arts career and felt it was an invaluable asset. He recommended all of his students and colleagues to his chiropractor as well. Dr. Hunter witnessed first hand the difference that chiropractic care provided. One day, years later, Dr. Hunter was at Dr. Raphael’s office and light heartedly said, that “I would be interested in becoming a chiropractor.” Dr. Raphael’s face lit up! He was friends with a recruiter for Life University, (it’s just the largest Chiropractic school in the world!), and he advised Dr. Hunter to go and check it out. Dr. Hunter took that advice and a few years later he became (pain, surgery and drug free) Dr. Adrian B. Hunter D.C.
