Tiago Rodrigues’s love of chiropractic and commitment to finding the highest-quality chiropractic education was so strong that he moved his family of six 3,613 miles from Brazil to Florida!
His decision to enroll at Palmer Florida was influenced by two factors; his commitment to finding a leading-edge chiropractic education and location for his family’s comfort while far from home.
“Palmer was my first choice, an easy one,” he says. “The education I’ve received here is more than just foundational; it’s transformative. The excellent teachers and Doctors of Chiropractic at the Palmer Clinic have provided knowledge, invaluable guidance and support. Their dedication to the field and their students has inspired me to strive for excellence in my practice. Through their mentorship, I’ve gained the technical skills and the confidence needed to succeed as a chiropractor. Palmer has truly set me on the path to positively impacting my future patients’ lives.”
Originally from Fortaleza-Ceara, Brazil, Tiago earned his bachelor’s in Business Administration in 2005 and a master’s in Administration and Controllership from the Federal University of Ceara in 2009. “I’ve worked in various industries including food, steel, finance and real estate,” Tiago notes.
The shift to chiropractic was driven by Tiago’s desire to directly impact people’s health after experiencing low back pain. “My boss suggested chiropractic care and I quickly fell in love with the profession and wanted to show the benefits of chiropractic to more people,” he explains.
After he graduates in December 2024, Tiago will once again relocate his family, this time to Texas. “I plan to join an experienced Doctor of Chiropractic to help more people and advance in the profession I love,” he shares. This step will allow him to build on his Palmer education and practical experience.
