A Chiropractor’s Confession… and Why I Still Do What I Do

By Dr. Mark Schuler, D.C. | Back To Life Chiropractic – Buckner, KY

“Confessions are tough. Real tough. But sometimes they can set the record straight.”

You’ve probably seen my ads—the one with me, my kids, or our bulldog Rooney. When folks run into me around town, they often say, “I know you—you’re the doctor from that ad with your kids and the dog that got hit by that bus!”

But there’s more to that photo—and more to why I became a chiropractor—than most people know.

A Life-Changing Accident

I was in college when my life changed forever. Riding my bike down the street one day, a city bus side-swiped me and threw me onto the pavement.

At the hospital, they said “nothing’s broken,” handed me some pain pills, and sent me home. But I couldn’t walk right. My legs were swollen from the knees up. I was scared.

More doctors, more pills, even a referral to a surgeon. I ended up on blood thinners—which gave me migraines—and I still wasn’t better. Was this going to be the rest of my life?

Enter Chiropractic

That’s when my mom insisted I see my uncle—a chiropractor. He did a full exam, took X-rays, and gave me my first adjustment. It didn’t hurt. In fact, it felt good. And it worked.

I could walk again.

I kept going back. I saw other people getting incredible results too. That’s when I knew—I had to become a chiropractor.

Why My Kids Get Adjusted Too

My two amazing kids, Jenna and Evan, have been getting adjusted since they were little. They rarely get sick. No constant colds, no endless rounds of the flu. They’re what I call “chiropractic kids”—and it makes a huge difference in staying well.

Helping Others Heal Naturally

Today, people come to me for all kinds of issues:

• Headaches and migraines
• Chronic pain
• Neck, shoulder, and back pain
• Carpal tunnel and sciatica
• Fibromyalgia and whiplash
• Ear infections, asthma, and allergies
• Athletic injuries, numbness, and more

Just listen to a few of my patients:

“I had bulging discs and numbness and was unable to work. Thanks to Dr. Schuler, I feel much better and am working full time again!”
– Mark Bell, Pewee Valley, KY

“Not only do I feel better, but I’m constantly reminding myself to stand better, exercise and take better care.”
– Ethel Foxx, LaGrange, KY

“I had TMJ and back pain for 3 years. Since getting care from Dr. Schuler, all symptoms are gone. My strength and energy are returning fast!”
– Matt Adlich, Goshen, KY

My Real Confession

Here it is: I’ve never actually healed anyone.

What I do is adjust the spine—freeing the nervous system from interference—and the body heals itself. It’s that simple. And powerful.

Chiropractic works. Even studies back it up. One from Virginia found over 90% of chiropractic patients were satisfied with their results.

Affordable, Quality Care—Because You Deserve It

Many people today don’t have great health insurance. Chiropractic care can often save you money—and even boost your immune system through regular adjustments. That means fewer sick days, fewer pills, and more freedom.

If you’re self-employed, this matters even more.
