She faced many health challenges that nearly took her legs and her life. Through faith, prayer and determination, she was able to graduate high school with her twin brother, college and lastly Chiropractic school in 1997 completing her dream to become a Doctor of Chiropractic.

Dr. Vanterpool chose Chiropractic as she states, “I do not want kids suffer as I had with all the drugs and surgeries. If there was a way to treat someone, provide the body what it needs to heal itself…. that would be awesome”.
