When Dr. Randal Herring of Herring Chiropractic moved to Tallassee more than 30 years ago, he made it his personal mission to care for the high school football team and ensure they were adjusted before each game to prevent injury and give them an edge.
Now, his daughter, Dr. Caroline Herring, has joined the efforts – and his practice – and adjusts the high school cheerleaders before each home game.
