Miholics was introduced to chiropractic in high school after struggling with knee pain while running track. After just a few visits with her chiropractor, her pain was gone, and she was hooked on a more holistic way of health. She is very passionate about helping people, specifically veterans, achieve a pain-free life without medication. Miholics chose Palmer because she wanted to go to the school that led the way for chiropractic. It didn’t hurt that her high school chiropractor, Keely Casteele, D.C. (Main, ‘00), is a Palmer alumna.
Beyond a traditional clinical environment, students working at the VA hospitals also learn how D.C.s work with medical professionals across many disciplines, for the benefit of the patient. Faith worked alongside neurology, rehabilitation, mental health services and pain management. Their knowledge and expertise on various manners left Faith doing additional research at home after work. She credits using everything she learned at Palmer College, from day one, in some way or another.
“I don’t think there was one day during my clerkship that I didn’t grow at least a little bit,” says Dr. Hibl. “At the end, you’re a much more competent clinician. You leave ready for private practice.”
Dr. Young becomes the first African American male D.C. to earn a full-time appointment at one of the 170 VA health centers throughout the country that currently provide chiropractic care.
Living in constant pain drove Jason to the palmer Florida Clinics, where he’s spent the past two years under the care of Meredith Meyers, D.C. (Florida, ’07), or as he calls her, Doc Meyers.
Dr. Meyers has seen Jason both at high and low points in his care. It was at those low points that Jason was glad he could go see Doc Meyers. “When I’ve come in during my bad episodes, she’s been there to help. I’ve come in here pretty much crawling, and after my adjustments, I’m literally able to walk out with little to no pain. I thank her every chance I can for that.”
