Chiropractic

Drug-free, Hands-on Approach to Healthcare

​​At Island Healing Chiropractic, in addition to traditional chiropractic, Dr. Karen specializes in Applied Kinesiology (manual muscle testing), manual adjustments, instrument adjusting (including the activator tool), extremity adjusting (shoulders, elbows, ribs, hips, knees, ankles, jaw and feet), myofascial work and clinical nutrition to support musculoskeletal issues. Dr Karen also practices Veterinary Orthopedic Manipulation (VOM) to improve the quality of life for your furry family members.

Chiropractic care is used most often to conservatively treat neuromusculoskeletal complaints, including but not limited to back pain, neck pain, headache, and pain in the joints of the: arms, legs, and jaw. Doctors of Chiropractic practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes patient examination, diagnosis, treatment, and patient education. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills, are trained in a multimodal approach to manual treatment, recommend a range of therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling.

Here is the thing...if you are looking for a natural or conservative solution to a health issue...START HERE! It is less expensive, less invasive,e and less dangerous to begin with Chiropractic...you can always turn to conventional medical treatments but is that where you want to start in a non-emergency situation? The medical system as it is currently set up is not equipped to deal with chronic problems, diseases of lifestyle, or aging and the cycle of treatment can be devastating! Also, conventional medical doctors can be extremely ignorant about chiropractic, manual medicine, nutrition, and legitimate alternative treatments...it is NOT taught in medical school!​

"Thank you so much Karen for what an amazing job you did! Every movement I make is
now pain free...
my wrist, my back, my neck. I haven't enjoyed just moving around so much for a very long time. You are doing a great job!"
