“I admit it, I was a skeptic,” remembers Dr. David Shapiro.
“At the age of 16, I didn’t want to have knee surgery from a wrestling injury. Because I did not have back pain, I was reluctant to turn to chiropractic; but, with no other option except surgery, I made an appointment to see a chiropractor.
I’ll never forget that first treatment. It felt as if a huge weight was suddenly lifted from my body. My misaligned spine was putting excessive pressure on the side of my injured knee. Dr. Galbraith balanced out my body with adjustments to the spine, allowing my injured knee to finally heal – no surgery! That was the moment I decided I was going to be a chiropractor.”
After graduating in 1993 from Life University of Chiropractic, Dr. Shapiro settled here in the Atlanta area with his wife, Arlene, to establish his practice. He has been part of the University’s extension faculty since 2007 and opens his practices to senior interns, providing a training space for future doctors of chiropractic.
