Dr. Chris Cueto was first exposed to chiropractic at the age of 25 when he first received his chiropractic adjustment. As a competitive athlete/martial artist specifically in the Filipino Martial Arts, he was exposed to different injuries and that time had injured both his lower back and his wrist. He was introduced to his first chiropractor, Dr. Steven Lindner both one of his mentors and friend, who delivered him his first adjustment that helped fix his injuries. At that point Dr. Cueto was intrigued. After following him for several weeks seeing all types of patients walk into his office, some in pain and couldn’t move, and seeing them walk out pain free and become both fully functional and healthy he knew that this would be his true calling and a few years later was accepted and attended New York Chiropractic College.
