Spine specialist, Dr. Steven Baroody shares a story of a postal worker who was unable to perform her job with incapacitating neck and arm pain.

Dr. Baroody is a 2004 graduate of New York Chiropractic College, in Seneca Falls, NY.  A martial artist for more than twenty-five years, he was introduced to chiropractic when he injured his low back being thrown.  The quick recovery that followed, and the opportunity to help others convinced him that chiropractic was the career for him.  Halfway through his education, however, Dr. Baroody sustained a serious shoulder injury, serious enough to require surgery.  After the surgery, however, ART accelerated his rehabilitation and enabled him to return to both chiropractic and the high level of martial arts he had enjoyed before the injury.  Dr. Baroody is a certified Cox Technic spine specialist.
