Zach reported to the team medical doctor and team orthopedic specialist to get an initial evaluation of his lower back injury. This was the most pivotal moment in Dr. Shasteen’s life. He saw the team chiropractor and after about 3 weeks of various treatments he was back to competing and pole vaulting.

He knew at that moment that his destiny was to become a chiropractor in the hopes of helping others.
