With her family’s best wishes, she vehemently studied the finer attributes of physical medicine at Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas, where she received a second BS in the field of Anatomy and a Doctorate of Chiropractic.  While going through Parker College, she was deeply involved with school politics and served as a liaison between the faculty and student body, as well as sitting on the disciplinary committee for the entire school.  She also received the highest award given to a student throughout their clinical internship.  The entire faculty and administration of Parker College voted Dr. Stankovic as having brilliant skills in diagnosing, treating, and focusing on patients’ needs.  This award termed “Best Intern”.

After her schooling, Dr. Stankovic started her career working for Advantage Chiropractic Clinic as an associate.  During this time she served as the co-chair for the American Cancer Society’s “Relay for Life.”  This was an event designed to bring awareness to the advances being made to battle cancer as well as raise more money for further research.  She also became certified by the American Red Cross as a “Protect Your Back” instructor geared to teach employees about how to work efficiently and avoid future repetitive strain injuries.  After one year, Dr. Stankovic purchased the clinic for which she was currently working and renamed it All Injury Rehab & Sports Therapy, P.A.  At this time she decided to promote awareness for spinal health by offering free spinal checks throughout the community as well as going into the lower income areas once a month and offering free literature and information on how to preserve the body from needless sprains, strains, dislocations and many other ailments commonly associated with manual labor.

Dr. Stankovic designed the clinics to offer a multi-disciplinary approach, with treatment options like medical consultations, chiropractic, physical therapy, massage therapy and psychological counseling.  Putting all of these forms of healthcare into one facility offers a more complete treatment protocol for patients.

Dr. Stankovic’s mission is to incorporate the principles of musculo-skeletal care with those created by the medical profession and gradually change the public opinion of a modern chiropractor’s abilities.  She has been successful in opening four more clinics with the same concept in Forney, Rockwall, Mesquite, and Richardson/Garland TX. She has slowly proven herself to insurance carriers and established a working respect between both parties.
