Back to All Mathematics Spotlights

Saint Michael’s mathematics program was the initial building block for my chiropractic career and small business ownership. It provided strategies for learning, thinking and higher-level decision making that I can’t imagine I would have been able to attain without the degree.

The program has made a global impact on how I approach healing people. Many may not connect the two, but I use math in my daily treatment with my patients. Whether it’s taking measurements to calculate loss of spinal curvatures or simply calculating the Q-angle to determine how I can help with a patient’s knee issue, it comes into play daily.

I’m grateful for the high standards that Saint Michael’s offered in my time there and how they continue to set the bar. The professors are who brought the numbers to life–thank you!
