It’s easy to get caught up in the demands of our practice that we forget to see the bigger picture of our lives and relationships.

On this episode, we are here with Dr. Mike Southwick, who has been in practice for 18 years. He shares how he was able to keep a good relationship with his wife and kids and have a successful practice at the same time.

When he was in high school, he had a shoulder injury while playing basketball. After undergoing traditional medical care and physical care, it resulted to limited motion. In college, his condition worsened, and his sister referred him to a chiropractor and found immediate relief. At that point, he realized he wanted to be a chiropractor.
