What was supposed to be a routine chiropractic visit turned into a devastating, life-altering catastrophe for Jonathan Buckelew. At just 24 years old, the Georgia man walked into a chiropractor’s office for a simple neck adjustment—and never walked again.
Now 34, Buckelew has spent the last decade living with locked-in syndrome, a rare neurological condition that has left him completely paralyzed except for his eyes.
He is fully conscious, fully aware of his surroundings, and entirely unable to move or speak.
