Dr. McCollum became interested in chiropractic after 10 years of suffering from a broken back. At age 10, while watching a Cal-Stanford football game on Berkeley Campus, he fell thirty feet from a pine tree when the branch that supported him broke. He landed in a seated position, crushing the last vertebra in his back. The general consensus at that time was that he had a "sprained back" and would feel better in a few weeks. No x-rays were taken, and despite Duncan's continued complaints, the best that could be offered was a prescription for pain killers and muscle relaxers.
Due to the misunderstanding and bad press regarding chiropractic in the 60's, not only was chiropractic not considered, it was "out of the question". A friend of his told him that a chiropractor could probably help. Finally, against his will, his friend, with the assistance of another, put him in the car and drove him to their chiropractor. The doctor performed an examination and too x-rays (the 1st ever since the accident 11 years earlier), and discovered that Duncan had indeed broken the 5th lumbar vertebra in his back on that day in 1964.
The doctor was able to perform an adjustment and continued to treat him for the next few weeks. To Duncan's astonishment, for the first time in over a decade, he was out of pain. The chiropractic doctor was able to give back to him something that no medical doctor could, and had not done for the past 11 years. Chiropractic gave him back his life! |
