Dr. Simon Yu developed an interest in natural healing at a young age from his
influence from the East. Dr. Simon had a very weak immune system as an
infant and was successfully treated with the many implements of natural
nutrition and herbal remedies he received from Asia. The approach of Holistic
medicine in successfully treating the cause of the disease, and not just blindly
chase symptoms triggered Dr. Simon’s curiosity for natural healing. The limited
ability of conventional medicine to understand and treat the illness left a
strong impression on Dr. Simon - perhaps conventional medicine is limited in its
approach to chronic illness and achieving good health.
Dr. Simon had his introduction to Chiropractic in College when he was
participating in a weight training routine as a part of his competitive
swimming regime. Like a lot of athletes unfamiliar with weight training, Dr.
Simon severely injured his low back. The injuries in Dr. Simon’s low back was so
severe that he was unable to walk, and had numbness down both of his
legs. At the time, Dr. Simon was a Pre-med. Major, so he sought the traditional
treatments of low back injuries. After 3 months of suffering, bouts of heavy
doses of painkillers, muscle relaxants, and anti-inflammatory, there was no
relief in sight. Out of pure desperation, Dr. Simon sought the help of a
chiropractor. Thanks to Chiropractic care, just 2 weeks later Dr. Simon was
already back on the swim team and competing at his fullest. This is when he
heard the calling of Chiropractic and headed for chiropractic school.
