I came to Whidbey Island because of Dr. Milton Steele’s reputation and commitment to NUCCA. He made regular visits to Palmer College of Chiropractic each year to continue educating chiropractic students in NUCCA. This method is rare and difficult to master, yet rewarding for both the doctor and the patients. In addition, the learning experience in NUCCA at school is limited and ending my school career here as an intern has been exceptional for my development. I saw a realistic picture of how this work is put into practice, and it has solidified my philosophy as an upper cervical chiropractor. I have a mentor, to be challenged by, and to challenge back (of course!) as my understanding grows. I feel advantaged that this office has both Dr. Milton and Dr. Nate because, though similar, I learn different things from each doctor. From a personal standpoint, Whidbey Island was a true pleasure. I couldn’t imagine a better place to intern. The people are friendly and peaceful. The views are spectacular, and it is conducive to a stress-free lifestyle, a very important element of a chiropractic lifestyle. I’d like to thank the Steele’s for a wonderful experience.

As a student in chiropractic college, you learn the knowledge and skills necessary to become a chiropractor. An internship, such as the one offered at Peak Performance Chiropractic Centers, gives the student a head start experiencing what it is like to work as a chiropractor before walking across the stage at graduation.

My experience interning at Peak Performance Chiropractic has been a wonderful fulfilling experience. I gained invaluable insight into running a chiropractic practice from patient education to marketing activities, patient billing to interacting with staff.

My primary reason for choosing Peak Performance Chiropractic to do my internship was my interest in the NUCCA technique. Dr. Milton Steele and Dr. Nate Steele are well-known for their expertise in this technique. Since I have been here, their wealth of knowledge has been a resource for improving my understanding and technical skill in the NUCCA work. Seeing the results and patient satisfaction in this office reaffirms my commitment to practice NUCCA and my belief that it is the best, if not the only, way to effectively adjust the spine.

Since I have been here, I gained hands-on experience taking NUCCA films, analyzing films, doing leg checks, and Anatometer/SEMG scans as well as encountering the challenges of difficult patient cases and beginning the inductive reasoning process involved in the post-correction X-ray analysis. Furthermore, I have had an opportunity to interact with patients and even create my own health care class!

I am so grateful for having an opportunity to do my internship at Peak Performance Chiropractic. I would like to thank the Steele’s and Shantina for making this such a great experience. Living on the beautiful Whidbey Island terrain with the ocean right outside my door was just an added bonus to interning here as well.
