Our Guest Speaker and His Chiropractic Journey
Whenever I go to a workshop or seminar of any sort, I always appreciate knowing the story of the person presenting. What is it that makes them an expert in this field? Why should I trust what you have to say? Well beyond the credentials as a Personal Trainer and Exercise Coach, our guest speaker Nick Monzu has his own chiropractic story to tell.
Nick’s Story
“I’m a 27-year-old who has dealt with chronic muscle, joint, and nerve pain for 10+years. This pain was not a result of one injury, but years of overuse and abuse to my body that resulted in a nasty combo of chronic neck/back/shoulder pain, crippling sciatica, adrenal fatigue, digestive issues, and depression/anxiety. On top of that I was putting on body fat while pushing through the pain working out 5-6 days per week.
It got so bad that about three years ago I literally spent a day and a half stuck on the floor of my apartment unable to barely move or even breathe without waves of pain and chaos sweeping through me. I felt trapped in my own body.
After years of symptoms and flare-ups getting progressively worse, I finally met Dr. Joel who located the main source of my pain. What he found was those years of heavy lifting with terrible mechanics/too much ego, along with the fact that I used my body as a battering ram playing middle linebacker for 13 years of my life, had resulted in the development of multiple subluxations in my lower/mid/upper back and neck. I also had compression fractures in my mid/upper back that had gone undiagnosed up to that point.
This long list of issues seemed daunting, but Dr. Joel and his staff assured me that if I give my body time and stay consistent with my adjustments, I would get myself out of pain and back to full power.
So after four months of chiropractic care combined with postural breathing work, corrective exercises, and lifestyle/behavior changes, I have seen a tremendous reduction in all of my symptoms! I know that sustainable change takes time, and I still have work to do, but I am incrediby encouraged by the results of my progress thus far!
I am eternally thankful for the care and support that I have recieved from everyone here at Family First and would encourage everyone to make sure themselves and their loved ones receive regular adjustments from one of the incredible doctors here.”

It’s because of his experience that Nick is so passionate about helping people learn about how their body moves. And while chiropractic care can play a part in resolving specific symptoms, it is important to know optimal ways to move your own body so that you don’t continue the cycle of injuring and correcting the issue.
