“There were only two things I wanted to be when I grew up: second baseman for the Atlanta Braves or a doctor,” recalls Dr. Permenter. “After suffering a broken leg while playing baseball for Stetson University, I knew my chance of playing for the Braves had disappeared. Using crutches and favoring my right side, I developed lower back pain. The team doctor and athletic trainer tried many different medications and physical therapies which only provided temporary relief. It wasn’t until a teammate asked me to drive him to his doctor that I experienced chiropractic first-hand. After a few treatments, I began to feel a lot better. That is when I started thinking about becoming a Doctor of Chiropractic.” http://www.permenterchiropractic.com/
