Class News: I would like to thank Drs. Sandy and Jeremy Rebrovich, the owners of Ideal Health Chiroractic in Elk River for their generous donation to our class. The Rebrovichs have provided our class with a set of stability balls for student use. The balls are used as chairs and have been shown to help with focus and posture. You can read more about the benefits of using stability balls here:
