My Story

The Northeast community is extremely welcoming and inclusive. My fellow students are constantly trying to help individuals in trimesters above and below them.

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 Northeast).

I love the environment of this college: the people, the professors, everyone pushing each other [to succeed]. No one wants to see anyone fail and that is a huge thing.

Alumni

“There’s 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’s also the most rewarding part—helping them perform at their best when it matters most."”
