1. Small Biography: Anthony M. Hernandez Marzan
My name is Anthony Mark Hernandez Marzan. I was born September 14,
1990 in Puerto Rico. Since I was a kid I lived with my grandmother and aunt (because
my mom died hours after my labor and I never grew up with my dad). When I was a
kid I used to spend a lot of time watching TV, playing baseball, playing with my
neighbors and cousins. My family, which I love with all my heart, teaches me the
value of sacrifice and education. I have always been an Honor student during school
years. In the summer of 2008 after graduating High School I was accepted in the
Microbiology program in Inter American University of Puerto Rico, which I enjoy
very much and learned my basic Biological, Chemical, Physical, Psychological and
Philosophical educational foundation; in 2012 I completed the program with honors
(Magna Cum Laude). After College graduation I decided to move with one of my
uncle to Palo Alto, California to visit some schools in the pursuit of more education
and knowledge. One of those Grad School was Life Chiropractic College West; I
never visited a Chiropractor before in my life, but there was something calling me to
this career, for years every time I saw a Chiropractic office or a Chiropractor in a
movie or serie I felt identified and it always attracted my attention towards this
profession. Having this in mind and having the blessing of being near two of the 15
Chiropractic school in USA I applied to Life Chiropractic College West. In Autumn
of 2012 I was accepted to begin my graduate education at LCCW, in San Francisco
Bay Area. Now I am in my 12th quarter and I don’t regret this decision, I have learn
too many valuable lessons in the Philosophy, Science and Art of Chiropractic and
because of this I can’t wait to graduate and start helping people.
In order to receive the Doctorate of Chiropractic (DC), the candidates must
complete four academic years of doctorate-level education. For the first two years,
this education largely mirrors medical school, with classes covering Anatomy,
Biochemistry, Physiology, Pathology, Radiology and Diagnosis. Chiropractors take
more units in Neurology than general-practitioner MD’s. The Chiropractic education
diverges from the medical education as they study Corrective Manipulative Vertebral
Spinal Techniques rather than Pharmacology and Surgery. Chiropractors must
complete an internship and must also pass National Board Examinations prior to
being licensed by the state. Doctors of Chiropractic are licensed to practice in all 50
states and make up the third-largest licensed health care provider group in the United
States. Chiropractors not only learn Science to help their patients, Chiropractors also
spend thousands of Hours and Countless adjustments to their patients in order to
master the Art of Spinal Manipulation. Also Chiropractors had an Philosophical
foundation believing that health is more the merely the absence of disease, instead is a
state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence
of disease or infirmity.
