I became interested in chiropractic when I was learning about the neurology of the body during my undergraduate education at Purdue University. I initially got adjusted because it seemed to get rid of my awful headaches but it wasn’t long before I realized it was much greater than that.
During my four years at Purdue, I spent my time learning about viruses and how they mutate. It really fascinated me but being in a lab, I soon found out was not something I wanted to do for the rest of my life. I needed to be with people. I was looking for some answers and my chiropractor suggested I go to chiropractic school. I’m so glad I did.
While at Palmer College in Davenport, Iowa, I increased my knowledge and education by interning with one of the greatest chiropractors in the country, Dr. Larry Troxell in the Troxell Intern Program. Working with him and the other interns gave me the knowledge to know how to find subluxations and what to do about them.
Working with lots of children in the Palmer clinic and attending numerous seminars and workshops on pediatrics helped me to realize that children need our help more than ever and taught me how to go about helping them.
Another thing that made a great impact on my life was the trip 30 students and faculty from Palmer College made to Brazil. We went to teach them about what chiropractic is and to give them adjustments, maybe the only adjustments they would ever receive in their life due to the lack of chiropractors in their country. The gratitude was amazing but the best part was all of the children we got to see and take care of. I only hope I made a difference in the life of just one of those children.
Now I have a child of my own and the importance of having a clear nerve system is even more apparent. Caitlyn had her first adjustment within the first day of life and continues to get checked for subluxations on a weekly basis. |
