Sherman Alum and Professor Publishes Case Study |
Dr. Allie Hamstead, assistant professor of clinical sciences at Sherman and co-owner of AlignLife of Simpsonville, published a paper in the Annals of Vertebral Subluxation Research in the January 2024 issue. The quarterly publication highlights chiropractic research focused on vertebral subluxation.

Dr. Hamstead's paper, “Reduction of Upper Back Pain & Resolution of Sciatica Following Chiropractic Care to Reduce Vertebral Subluxation in a 30-Year-Old Female with Scoliosis: A Case Study,” focuses on a young woman who had come to Dr. Hamstead for help after years of struggling.
“This patient had been suffering from pain and sciatica for years, and it was a joy to see the power of specific chiropractic care and how it had such a positive impact on her,” said Dr. Hamstead. “Many individuals with health issues such as scoliosis are not sure if they will be able to be cared for by a chiropractor. I am hopeful that this case study helps to encourage those who may be afraid to see their local chiropractor,” she said.
Dr. Hamstead and her partner and husband, Dr. Michael Hamstead launched AlignLife of Simpsonville in 2014. Both are 2012 graduates of Sherman College. |
