Felisha Truong, D.C. (West, ’19) always knew she wanted to pursue a degree in health care. Chronic pain resulting from a gymnastics injury in her early teens led her to chiropractic, and her love for research led her to Palmer.
At 23 years old, Derron walked out of his first chiropractic appointment feeling as he did before he was injured. That’s when he decided he wanted to become a doctor of chiropractic.
Jared Ollis was chosen by ChiroHealthUSA, who designated the $10,000 to create a scholarship for student veterans.
Three recently published, free-to-download papers from the Palmer Center for Chiropractic Research will offer chiropractors everywhere new tools to guide diagnoses and standardize terminology.
“There are unique opportunities opening up to chiropractors that weren’t there even a few years ago. In 2015, the NBCE Job Analysis showed that only 7% of chiropractors were working in interdisciplinary environments. Now that number is 15.2%. This is another opportunity to work with people who haven’t had access to care in the past, resulting in more awareness of the benefits of chiropractic,” says Dr. Hinkeldey.
