Meet Dr. Hannah Hershey

Growing up in Maryland, Dr. Hershey always had somewhat of an interest in chiropractic care, but it took her a while to decide to pursue it as a career. What really sparked her interest was seeing how this type of natural care helped her uncle, who worked in construction.

“He was told that he’d have to get back surgery and wouldn’t be able to work and provide for his family and six kids. But then he went to the chiropractor that my grandma worked for, and was able to put off the back surgery for 30 years, and worked that whole time.”

For Dr. Hershey, that was a life-changing moment for the entire family. “I thought that was like magic when I was young.”

Education and Journey to Arizona

Dr. Hershey completed her undergraduate studies at the University of Maryland, staying close to home. Later, she attended Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, Iowa, where she earned her Doctor of Chiropractic in 2021.

Why the move to Arizona? “The winters in Davenport, Iowa, were pretty brutal, so after a couple of intense winters, I wanted to get away from the snow and find some sunshine. So that’s how I ended up out here.”

She’s delighted to join the team at Elite Pain Relief and Wellness alongside Dr. Marcella Brechler.

Finding Fulfillment Helping Others

For Dr. Hershey, the most rewarding part of being a chiropractor is helping people.

I knew it was an amazing profession, but just being able to see firsthand how much we can help people’s lives and empower them in their bodies has been the most exciting thing.

Fun in the Sun

When she’s not at the office, Dr. Hershey loves exploring her new home in Arizona. With her husband, she spends as much time as possible outdoors, whether it’s checking out local farmers’ markets, running, walking, or simply soaking up the sunshine in her backyard.
