Meet Dr. Candice Martin

I have always had a deep passion and yearning to help people in any shape, way or form. How this would pan out, I had no idea. All I knew is that I needed to become a Doctor. This is my story on how I became a Chiropractor, or should I say, how Chiropractic chose me.

Growing up, my belief system of health was based on an assessment, followed by a prescription for medication, and that was it! Take the pills and you would be healed. Little did I know…

I was in a minor car accident a few years into high school which initiated recurring headaches. My Doctor had given me a neck brace and some pills for the pain. Months down the line and nothing had changed other than me taking more pills for these headaches that just wouldn’t go away.

After applying to study Chiropractic, I was required to shadow a Doctor of Chiropractic. My first encounter and treatment was life-changing. I had felt as if the lights had gone on, as if my system had been rebooted and updated. It was the first time in years I had been headache-free! She explained to me how the body is a self-healing organism and that Chiropractors remove blockages to ignite this innate intelligence. Now don’t get me wrong, there is a place for medication but there is an even bigger place for self-healing.

Re-educating and assisting patients in making healthy, natural lifestyle choices has been paramount to my Chiropractic Journey. “The power that made the body, heals the body” is a philosophy that has not only moulded my passion but has given me divine purpose.
