“I’d dealt with debilitating migraines since I was thirteen years old. The team chiropractor started working on my neck, and it didn’t occur to me until sometime later that I stopped having migraines. It was the longest I’d ever gone without one.”
Dr. Seaba completed her rotation under Mike Olson, D.C., CCSP, ICSP (Main, ’11) at Bigfork Valley Hospital. Dr. Olson began this program six years ago and has hosted 13 students at the hospital.
“I’m adamant about chiropractors needing to be involved in integrative care,” says Dr. Olson.
To honor her legacy and love of chiropractic, Peter contributed $50,000 to establish the Christian Mary Martin Memorial Endowed Scholarship. As the current Palmer Florida campus president and a former scholarship recipient himself, Dr. Martin has witnessed firsthand how scholarships not only provide financial support to students but also, and sometimes more importantly, boost their morale by recognizing their academic efforts.
In elementary school, I suffered from osteochondritis dissecans and had to have several surgeries. This sparked my interest in the human body and how it operates, so I knew I wanted to pursue some form of health care. At the age of 15, I was diagnosed with a right thoracic idiopathic scoliosis. This experience nearly solidified my interest in chiropractic, and yet the idea of becoming a doctor of osteopathic medicine still intrigued me.
When all is said and done, more than $35 million in projects will be completed, including the R. Richard Bittner Athletic & Recreation Center, Trevor V. Ireland Student Clinic, and the Bruce & Bethel Hagen Student Union in the Quad Cities.
