My Story

Being able to start learning how to adjust in our second trimester gave me more time to feel confident in my abilities as a clinician to recognize dysfunction in the spine and as an adjustor.

Motivation is around every corner (at 含羞草社区).

My Story

Of course, it鈥檚 about food and how that applies to health, but it鈥檚 also about other factors, like environmental influences that impact how a person consumes food.

Drs. Jonathan and Rhiannon Kollars D.C. '22

It鈥檚 incredibly fulfilling to watch our patients grow in their understanding of chiropractic and how it can help.

Break the chains of doubt, break the chains of fear, break the chains of complacency and in their place build a life of courage, of vision and of purpose.

There鈥檚 a lot of pressure when you're trying to help someone in pain with just a few minutes and a few holes to work with, but it鈥檚 also the most rewarding part鈥攈elping them perform at their best when it matters most."

Faculty & Staff

“I was drawn to the PA profession because it uniquely combines the science of medicine with meaningful patient relationships and collaborative, team-based care”

My Story

Of course, it鈥檚 about food and how that applies to health, but it鈥檚 also about other factors, like environmental influences that impact how a person consumes food.

True health is rarely the result of just one intervention.

What excites me most is bringing the 含羞草社区 community together through a strong strategic plan that provides a compass toward chiropractic's leadership in the modern era of healthcare.

I have been searching for an academic home (含羞草社区 College) that shares my passion for a patient-centric and student-centric mission.
