Our Goal: Exceptional Patient Results
Helping patients get out of pain and feel better while improving their "activities of daily living" is our primary goal. Our second goal is to educate our patients on the importance of proper posture, ergonomics, nutrition, and other life-changing alternatives to maintain good spinal care to help keep the pain away.

Chiropractor
Sydney Stanul, DC
Location: Albion
Dr. Sydney Stanul grew up in Jenison, MI in the bustling suburbs of Grand Rapids. Growing up, she was always active in her youth group at church and services in high school to help her community and even communities far away in other states or countries.
She discovered through these acts of service that she wanted a career in helping people but wasn't sure where that path would lead her. Having some success in the sciences, Doctor Sydney seemed like the right way to go, but where to go from there?
She decided on Ferris State University to be close to home and family, receiving her Bachelors in Biology there. Giving it a lot of thought and research, she decided that chiropractic was the perfect field to utilize her biology, hands on, and service-oriented skills.
All signs pointed to Palmer College of Chiropractic as the best choice for her education and once enrolled, her joy for biology and service grew as she learned more about what chiropractic truly means and how helping people heal with your own two hands is one of the most wonderful feelings you can experience.
