Thirty-five years into it, Dr. Sok couldn’t be more pleased with his decision to attend Palmer and become a sports chiropractor. “When I first looked into chiropractic as a career, the average age of a chiropractor in Maryland was 55 years old. I saw that as an opportunity. My desire to help people, especially athletes, was already there but it really grew while at Palmer,” he recalled.
Weekend warriors, active individuals, and anybody looking for improvement in their everyday activities can schedule with these providers to improve their game.
“Athletes are my favorite population to work with and I knew I needed that knowledge to help them come out of their chronic injuries,” she said. “I fell in love with chiropractic care because there is something for everybody! There is so much to learn and so many specialties to pick from which gives every student incredible autonomy."
For the past year, Palmer graduates Drs. Gonzálaz and Mena have been part of the exciting world of CrossFit and sports chiropractic, caring for some of the world’s best athletes.
After looking into a few different paths to care for athletes, chiropractic stood out. “I was primarily between physiotherapy (physical therapy) and chiropractic, but I liked the scope of practice for chiropractic better,” Tynan said. “Palmer has a good track record and there are actually a lot of Palmer graduates in the Calgary area that highly recommended it to me.”
