In this first‑person monologue, Dr. Bruce Salzinger recounts his background as a competitive downhill ski racer and describes a sudden, severe bilateral leg pain that occurred during a weekend trip with a medical doctor’s daughter. After returning to New York, he sought care at an orthopedic clinic where he received medication and physical therapy, but after three months his symptoms persisted. A close friend, a chiropractor in Miami, suggested trying chiropractic treatment as an alternative to the surgery the orthopedist had recommended. The speaker reflects on the decision‑making process, weighing continued conservative care, surgical options, and the potential benefits of chiropractic care for sports‑related injury rehabilitation.

I think I mentioned this before, that I had skiing. I was a downhill ski racer. I did all through college, all over the world. And so there was consequence to that kind of activity, but one time was worse than the others. And actually, incredibly, it was long after I was racing, but I went away on a weekend with— happened to have been coincidentally a medical doctor's daughter. And while I was waiting for her to kind of catch up to me, Next thing I knew, I was getting pain down both legs. And the pain was so severe, that was the end of that day for me. And when we finally got back to New York, where we were both living, on my parents' suggestions and her father's suggestion— it wasn't his expertise— I found my way to an orthopedic office. And they did what they do, medication and physical therapy. After 3 months, I was no worse, but I wasn't resolved. Fortuitously, one of my closest friends, who I'm still very close with, spoke to him just yesterday. He practices in the Miami area. Suggested I try chiropractic. I could always, always have the surgery that they were recommending.
