How it all started...
MEET DR. IRMA LEON PALMER
Dr. Palmer graduated from Life Chiropractic College in Marietta, Georgia in 1992. Soon after, she moved to Birmingham, AL with her husband and established her practice in 1993. She is a bilingual, holistic chiropractor who is very keen on the ketogenic diet approach with nutrition.
Playing competitive softball growing up, Dr. Palmer suffered with lower back pain and severe menstrual issues. During that time, she was told this pain was just part of being a woman. No one understood that the overall pain she was experiencing was affecting more than just her physical well-being. It was not until she suffered a severe softball collision that her parents took her to her first chiropractic appointment. It was that experience that inspired her to become a chiropractor and help change the lives of others.
WHY SHE BECAME A CHIROPRACTOR
WHAT DR. PALMER DOES FOR FUN
She is an avid runner; running 3 to 4 marathons per year. Outside of her profession she and her husband enjoy going to the lake, grilling out and cooking healthy meals, loving on their jack russels, and spending time with their daughter when she's home from college.
