An Army of One
When we think about entrepreneur doctors of chiropractic, their being a sergeant in the U.S. Army isn’t generally the first thought that comes to mind. But, I just read an inspiring story about a chiropractor who has combined his chiropractic training with a successful and meaningful military career.
