Pro golfer Zach Johnson's chiropractor isn't just devoted to providing the best care for his star patient — he's also his dad!

Corey Harrington talks about being a former paramedic and choosing a career in the field of chiropractic."Before I came to Palmer I worked in the health-care field as a paramedic. And, I've always had an interest in being involved with health care and the reason I chose chiropractic is because of its natural holistic outlook. I just really want to get involved in a profession that focuses on wellness and not necessarily on sick care."
