Dr. Tuchscherer joined the faculty at Northwestern Health Sciences University in 1985. She has taught courses in Histology, Pathology, Neuroscience, Neurodiagnostic and Chiropractic Philosophy. She has been the Chair of the Foundational Sciences Department since 2002. Her Ph.D. (Neuroscience, University of Minnesota Medical School, 1987) dissertation explored various aspects of peripheral pain transmission; and her current areas of interest are studying the neurological basis of manual therapies, the effects of subluxation on inflammation, and the science of applied kinesiology. Dr Tuchscherer earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree (summa cum laude) from Northwestern College of Chiropractic in 1991. She has been the Professor of the Year four times at NWHSU.
Dr. T, as she is known to her students, values the process of teaching and learning: “Teaching is one of my life’s passions. I love the moments of understanding for students, when you see that “ah, ha!” look on their faces. That’s my greatest reward. I am honored to have helped someone on their way to becoming a healer.”
In addition to her work at Northwestern, Dr. T has a private practice in Chiropractic and Acupuncture in Northeast Minneapolis. She loves fly-fishing, canoeing, and caring for nature. She and her partner have 3 grandchildren and three dogs to match!
