It started out as a typical February day at the gym for Temecula, California chiropractor Jared Hjemstand, D.C. and his 15 year-old son Josh — that is until 49 year-old Garth Goodall collapsed in front of them while working out.

[While attending chiropractic college in the early 90’s, my wife, Keri, wrote an article about what it was like being married to a chiropractic student. The article was published in my chiropractic college’s newspaper on two different occasions and received rave reviews — not from my fellow colleagues, but their spouses!

Recently, I ran across a very interesting research article published about a decade ago from “Down Under” in the Australasian Chiropractic and Osteopathy journal that investigated an intriguing way of facing this so called “albatross” —an albatross that costs them an estimated $8 billion annually in disability and lost production.
