Dr. Darding personally discovered the miracle of chiropractic at the age of 11. She sustained a severe whiplash injury due to a go-cart accident that left her with blinding headaches, vision problems, and no front teeth. Dr. Darding's parents took her to several medical providers to alleviate their daughter's pain and symptoms, but none of the doctors could explain what was causing their daughter's condition or treat it effectively. Not knowing where else to turn, Dr. Darding's mother took her daughter to her chiropractor. Dr. Darding's mother had often had headaches herself that were only alleviated by chiropractic adjustments and hoped that maybe her chiropractor could help her daughter feel like a kid again. At the age of 11, Dr. Darding received her first chiropractic adjustment and the rest is history! She was so impressed by how a Doctor could simple use only his hands and heal her pain and vision problems, when no one else seemed to know what was going on. So, she decided to become a Doctor of Chiropractic to help others regain their health and vitality.
