  Speaker 2: of 15, his sophomore year of high school, playing his

  Speaker 2: favorite sport of football. It was his homecoming game. He
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: had played football since he was four years old and
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: had made the same defensive play a thousand times before. However,
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: he had no idea it would be his last defensive

  Speaker 2: hit ever. He was paralyzed from a fracture in the

• 1:11
  Speaker 2: to open opportunities to future goals, both academic and career-based,
• 1:16
  Speaker 2: for those with similar injuries. This foundation has promoted programs

  Speaker 2: want for people to do better in their life. So
• 1:52
  Speaker 2: please welcome to Sporting Good Posture, Micah McClendon. Micah, welcome
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: to the show, man.
• 1:58
  Speaker 3: Thank you, Dr. Frank. It's nice to be on here today.
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, man.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: You have just an absolutely amazing story. You know, I
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: became a chiropractor and really got into physical medicine because
• 2:11
  Speaker 2: of injuries that I had, but just really to help
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: other people with their careers, help other people with their injuries,
• 2:17
  Speaker 2: and really inspire people to do the most with their
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: body and just really trying to be someone they can
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: look up to to help them in their times of need.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: And I feel like that's how you are, especially after
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: everything that happened. And I just felt like this would
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: be a cool interview to do just because we've known.
• 2:33
  Speaker 4: You now for four years.
• 2:35
  Speaker 2: Everything you're doing is pretty amazing. So to go back
• 2:38
  Speaker 2: to the beginning, what exactly happened?
• 2:42
  Speaker 5: I was 15 in my sophomore year of high school,
• 2:45
  Speaker 5: going in the fourth week of football season. It was
• 2:50
  Speaker 5: our homecoming week, and we were playing Moore County, so
• 2:52
  Speaker 5: it was a little bit of a rival week. I
• 2:56
  Speaker 5: was coming in to make a defensive tackle in the
• 2:58
  Speaker 5: second quarter when I misplaced my head, and on contact
• 3:03
  Speaker 5: of the tackle, I ended up fracturing my C4, C5 vertebrae,
• 3:08
  Speaker 5: which left me paralyzed from the chest down upon contact.
• 3:14
  Speaker 5: They sent me right to Vanderbilt Children's Hospital.
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: And then you had numerous surgeries initially, right? When they
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: just tried to repair everything that they could.
• 3:26
  Speaker 5: I think it was two neck surgeries was what they
• 3:32
  Speaker 5: ended up having to do once I got to the
• 3:34
  Speaker 5: hospital and have to have all my scans done and
• 3:38
  Speaker 5: stuff like that. I stayed 45 days in the ICU
• 3:43
  Speaker 5: and then I was spent 45 days in Shepherd Center
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: in Atlanta. That's where I did my inpatient rehabilitation stay.
• 3:51
  Speaker 2: Once you finished in Atlanta, did you end up going
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: back home and then they had some kind of program
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: that they set up for you after that?
• 3:58
  Speaker 5: I actually, on September 11th of 2020, and I got
• 4:02
  Speaker 5: home January 12th of 2021. And upon coming home, obviously COVID,
• 4:10
  Speaker 5: it was kind of the prime of COVID and everything too,
• 4:14
  Speaker 5: in the hospital and everything. So very isolated in the
• 4:17
  Speaker 5: hospital and coming home, it was honestly refreshing getting out
• 4:21
  Speaker 5: of the hospital and kind of just getting to be
• 4:23
  Speaker 5: with my family and my friends and this community here
• 4:26
  Speaker 5: and all the communities that, uh, really was showing me
• 4:29
  Speaker 5: the love and support through the 90 days that I
• 4:32
  Speaker 5: was in the hospital. But, um, Shepherd Center definitely was
• 4:36
  Speaker 5: very helpful with having a program and helping us as
• 4:40
  Speaker 5: much as we could in that, um, transition of getting
• 4:44
  Speaker 5: back home after a traumatic injury like this.
• 4:48
  Speaker 2: Once you got home, what kind of rehab then have
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: you been doing the last three or four years after that?
• 4:53
  Speaker 5: Uh, obviously being an athlete, my biggest thing is I
• 4:57
  Speaker 5: definitely wanted to get right back into the gym setting
• 5:01
  Speaker 5: and really anything that would improve my quality of life.
• 5:05
  Speaker 5: So definitely, like I said, being an athlete, I wanted
• 5:08
  Speaker 5: to get back into the gym and do as much
• 5:11
  Speaker 5: working out and having my head in that, uh, space
• 5:17
  Speaker 5: really helped me a lot with physical therapy, occupational therapy,
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: recreational therapy, pretty much all the therapies.
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: You can think of.
• 5:25
  Speaker 5: Having that mindset of wanting to push myself and wanting
• 5:30
  Speaker 5: to do better and get better really, really helped me.
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: Man, I can't even imagine what it felt like with
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: all that. And the drive you had is just so
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: inspiring for you to just try to recover and do
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: all the rehab that you've done. And I've seen some
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: videos of you that your mom showed me, and I
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: see you doing things where they have you upright, and
• 5:51
  Speaker 2: you're doing some walking, standing, and some different things. So
• 5:54
  Speaker 2: you've really progressed tremendously from when everything first happened.
• 5:59
  Speaker 5: Definitely trying not to be on anything that holds me down,
• 6:03
  Speaker 5: and really I feel like movement is medicine in itself.
• 6:07
  Speaker 5: So the more you can move around, I feel like
• 6:09
  Speaker 5: the better it's made me feel, and I want to
• 6:11
  Speaker 5: continue doing that.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: When your mom took you into my office, I had
• 6:17
  Speaker 2: only had one other person with an injury kind of
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: similar to what you had had. But tell me a
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: little bit about how chiropractic has fit into your rehab
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: that you've been doing the last number of years.
• 6:29
  Speaker 5: I remember when I had first started coming in, I
• 6:31
  Speaker 5: was experiencing a lot of tightness and kind of pain
• 6:35
  Speaker 5: in my traps and shoulders. Obviously, I kind of overcompensate.
• 6:40
  Speaker 5: A lot with the injury I have, a lot of
• 6:42
  Speaker 5: the muscle movement and stuff that I use comes from
• 6:46
  Speaker 5: my upper extremities. So I remember having a lot of
• 6:50
  Speaker 5: tightness and pain before I started seeing you. And then
• 6:54
  Speaker 5: once we got into the chiropractor, I know I was
• 6:56
  Speaker 5: a little nervous towards my neck and stuff, but laser
• 6:59
  Speaker 5: therapy and the adjustments on my hips and my back just,
• 7:04
  Speaker 5: I feel like promoted a lot of strength and stretching
• 7:08
  Speaker 5: that I, uh, received from the therapies.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: I feel like you, Dr.
• 7:13
  Speaker 5: Frank, definitely, and the therapies I was doing with you
• 7:16
  Speaker 5: promoted that healing and the strength and stuff I did regain.
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: When you came in and we have that K-laser, we've
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: been doing that this whole time. I felt like that
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: was one of the best things to do for areas
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: where you have the surgery and the scar tissue that's
• 7:34
  Speaker 2: in there and just really trying to help promote blood
• 7:36
  Speaker 2: flow to the neck and everything.
• 7:38
  Speaker 4: So With your injury, we've been just doing more your back.
• 7:42
  Speaker 2: You know, your mid back, your low back, your hips,
• 7:45
  Speaker 2: your sacrum a lot. A lot of times when you
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: come in, the first thing is I notice is, you know,
• 7:49
  Speaker 2: like your sacrum's out of place. So we always work
• 7:52
  Speaker 2: on that, get that back in. We typically get a nice,
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: it gets right back into place. I can tell a
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: difference too, you know, over the years, how you were
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: a lot stiff from the beginning. It's much easier to
• 8:01
  Speaker 2: adjust now. I can see the progress that you've made
• 8:05
  Speaker 2: and I'm happy that I've been able to be a
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: part of it. appreciate you and your mom putting your
• 8:09
  Speaker 2: trust in me with our treatments and, you know, being
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: consistent with.
• 8:13
  Speaker 4: It over the years.
• 8:13
  Speaker 2: And I really admire everything that you've done and you're
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: an inspiration to so many. Over the years now, I've
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: started to see some more athletes coming in. So that's
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: really kind of what inspired me when I got some
• 8:26
  Speaker 2: injuries in high school, my back and just like some
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: nagging injuries.
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: And I started going to the chiropractor and I felt
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: so much better.
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: And I was just like, man, what a great way
• 8:35
  Speaker 2: to help somebody get them moving better and get them
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: performing better and see some immediate results, especially when you're younger,
• 8:42
  Speaker 2: your body can recover a lot faster. So I had
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: a really good experience with that. You know, I've always
• 8:48
  Speaker 2: wanted to work with athletes with your injury. It's just
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: been really cool experience just to be part of your
• 8:53
  Speaker 2: recovery process. And I've seen you change so much. You
• 8:58
  Speaker 2: finished high school. You're in college now too. Tell me
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: a little bit about that.
• 9:03
  Speaker 5: It was definitely a, A transition, getting back into school
• 9:08
  Speaker 5: and everything.
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: I was very.
• 9:10
  Speaker 5: Grateful for my high school where I graduated from. They
• 9:13
  Speaker 5: were very helpful with helping me with any accommodations I
• 9:18
  Speaker 5: needed around the school. It was definitely harder transitioning into college.
• 9:23
  Speaker 5: I feel like a lot more of it was on me.
• 9:27
  Speaker 5: Instead of the school helping me out, it was really
• 9:29
  Speaker 5: me initiating the school, and then the school would help
• 9:32
  Speaker 5: me out. That was a little harder of a transition,
• 9:35
  Speaker 5: but it's been amazing getting to experience that.
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: And I.
• 9:41
  Speaker 5: Really love getting to be on campus. And this past year,
• 9:45
  Speaker 5: I got to live on campus, which was amazing.
• 9:49
  Speaker 4: What school are you going to again?
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: I'm at Lipscomb University in Nashville.
• 9:52
  Speaker 4: Oh, nice.
• 9:53
  Speaker 2: What a progression that you've been able to do. How
• 9:56
  Speaker 2: is college and getting around?
• 9:57
  Speaker 4: Is it, is it, uh, you said you had to
• 9:59
  Speaker 4: do a lot more on your own.
• 10:01
  Speaker 5: There's definitely some software. It's called dragon that, uh, allows
• 10:06
  Speaker 5: me to be able to record my lectures.
• 10:09
  Speaker 3: Um, I also asked.
• 10:10
  Speaker 5: Professors if I could just get their own, uh, notes
• 10:15
  Speaker 5: that they're putting up on the screen or I just
• 10:18
  Speaker 5: asked for, uh, really as much help as I can
• 10:20
  Speaker 5: get because that's what I kind of learned.
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: If you don't ask for.
• 10:23
  Speaker 5: Help, I mean, nobody's really going to know you need help.
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: That's a big thing is definitely asking for help when
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: you need it. Yeah.
• 10:30
  Speaker 4: What year are you now at college?
• 10:32
  Speaker 5: Entering this fall semester is the second semester of my
• 10:36
  Speaker 5: sophomore year.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: So tell me when you finish college, what next steps
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: are you taking career-wise and what's kind of some of
• 10:45
  Speaker 2: your aspirations?
• 10:47
  Speaker 5: I'm getting a finance degree in the business program at
• 10:51
  Speaker 5: Lipscomb University so I'm hoping to grow my non-profit foundation
• 10:57
  Speaker 5: which supports people with neurological injuries and therapies that aren't
• 11:02
  Speaker 5: covered by insurance or equipment that isn't covered by insurance
• 11:07
  Speaker 5: different opportunities that aren't covered is what my foundation helps
• 11:12
  Speaker 5: with but also my big goal is I would like
• 11:15
  Speaker 5: to bring a gym into the Nashville area that is
• 11:19
  Speaker 5: adaptable for different athletes, but also Nashville is a very
• 11:25
  Speaker 5: big area of CrossFit and Vanderbilt being here with different colleges,
• 11:30
  Speaker 5: a bunch of athletes in the area. I did therapy
• 11:34
  Speaker 5: at this place called Barwiss in South Florida in Fort Lauderdale,
• 11:38
  Speaker 5: and it was very inspirational getting to go in there
• 11:42
  Speaker 5: and do my workout, but then also look across the
• 11:45
  Speaker 5: gym and see different athletes working out, whether it was
• 11:48
  Speaker 5: hockey players, baseball players training in the offseason, football players.
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: Training in the offseason.
• 11:55
  Speaker 5: That is really my biggest goal for my foundation is
• 11:58
  Speaker 5: I would like to incorporate that in the coming years,
• 12:03
  Speaker 5: but I'm just very blessed to be at Lipscomb University
• 12:06
  Speaker 5: and have this opportunity to study in this degree and
• 12:11
  Speaker 5: continue to network and meet people at Lipscomb in the
• 12:15
  Speaker 5: Nashville area.
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: I wanted to ask you a little bit about before
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: your injury and everything, we had a lot in common
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: playing sports. I had played from the time I was
• 12:25
  Speaker 2: a little kid all through high school. Some of the
• 12:28
  Speaker 2: injuries I had made me decide not to play in
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: college and really just pursue being a chiropractor and go
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: in that route to help people and just to really
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: inspire others. But I wanted to ask you a little
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: bit about your history of playing sports and like, were
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: you always a football player or did you play other sports?
• 12:45
  Speaker 2: How early did you start playing sports as a kid?
• 12:47
  Speaker 5: I want to say I started as soon as I
• 12:50
  Speaker 5: started running around, probably I had a ball in my hand,
• 12:53
  Speaker 5: but I grew up in the footsteps of my three
• 12:55
  Speaker 5: older brothers that were all athletes as well.
• 12:58
  Speaker 3: So main sports were football and wrestling.
• 13:01
  Speaker 5: I think I started football when I was four or
• 13:05
  Speaker 5: five years old and then wrestling when I was seven
• 13:08
  Speaker 5: or eight years old, which were my main two sports.
• 13:12
  Speaker 5: And then, but also, I mean, pickup basketball games were
• 13:15
  Speaker 5: always fun and volleyball, all the sports are kind of fun,
• 13:19
  Speaker 5: but definitely all throughout my childhood and middle school and
• 13:23
  Speaker 5: high school up until my injury.
• 13:26
  Speaker 3: And then even today, I mean, I still love watching sports.
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: And I was going to ask you, what's your favorite
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: sports now to watch and what's kind of some of
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: your favorite teams?
• 13:36
  Speaker 5: Definitely still football is my favorite right initially after my
• 13:40
  Speaker 5: injury I had a lot of support from different football
• 13:42
  Speaker 5: teams I got a few signed footballs and different things
• 13:46
  Speaker 5: like that so I would say the Tennessee Titans are
• 13:49
  Speaker 5: my favorite team but it's hard being a Titans fan.
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah I know man since I moved here about 20
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: years ago I've become you know I was a Giants
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: fan all my life and then I've become a Titans
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: fan as well but I look at the last like
• 14:05
  Speaker 2: 10 years or so. And I'm just like, man, I can't,
• 14:08
  Speaker 2: I have two teams and neither one of them seems
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: to win very much.
• 14:12
  Speaker 3: Yeah. That's, that's tough. I know.
• 14:14
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: I know you have a foundation.
• 14:17
  Speaker 2: So I wanted to ask you, what's the name of
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: your foundation and what's the long-term goal you're looking.
• 14:24
  Speaker 4: At over the next number of years after you finished
• 14:26
  Speaker 4: college and everything?
• 14:29
  Speaker 5: So the name is the Micah Strong Rise Up Foundation.
• 14:32
  Speaker 5: And moving forward the next few years, my, Main goal
• 14:36
  Speaker 5: is to establish a adaptable gym in the Nashville area
• 14:40
  Speaker 5: for people with neurological injuries, but also regular athletes in
• 14:44
  Speaker 5: the Nashville area, whether it be CrossFit training or athletes
• 14:49
  Speaker 5: in sports, people who enjoy working out. I got to
• 14:55
  Speaker 5: participate in therapy in Fort Lauderdale, Florida at Barwiss, and
• 15:00
  Speaker 5: it was very amazing getting to do my own workout
• 15:04
  Speaker 5: while Looking across the gym and seeing different athletes do
• 15:08
  Speaker 5: their workout, they're inspiring for me. And I feel like
• 15:12
  Speaker 5: that would be for other people as well.
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: Have you looked into doing any kind of public speaking
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: or anything like that?
• 15:19
  Speaker 5: I definitely would like to get into that some more.
• 15:23
  Speaker 5: It's more of myself holding me back, getting in front
• 15:26
  Speaker 5: of a lot of people is something I'm nervous about.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: But since my injury, I have gotten better at it
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: and definitely thinking about I would like to go back
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: to my high school where I was injured, and I'd
• 15:39
  Speaker 5: like to be able to still be a part of
• 15:41
  Speaker 5: the football team and let those guys know that I'm
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: still there supporting them, and I want to see that
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: program do good. But also, anybody that is willing to
• 15:54
  Speaker 5: listen to my story and hear it, I'm definitely more
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: than willing to tell it and be there.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: You have such an amazing story, and I've watched you
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: grow from a teenager into a man now. And I'm
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: just so inspired at your resilience and how hard you've
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: worked to really recover with everything that happened to you,
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: both physically and mentally. And I can't even imagine how
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: difficult it's been to go through all this, being a
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: high level athlete and then not being able to play
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: football anymore and things like that. But Everyone that you
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: come in contact with is inspired by you.
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: I've been inspired by you.
