Dr. Karen Genter has been in practice since 1995. She is a preferred provider on most insurance plans and is a frequent referral source for many primary care doctors, obstetricians, midwives, physical therapists and acupuncturists. Chiropractic isn't just about aches and pains; it is a way of life. Although frequently thought of as "bone" or "back" doctors, chiropractors are actually nerve specialists utilizing the bones of the spine to impact the nerves coming out of the spinal cord. If there is an impingement on a nerve caused by a "subluxation" (a bone out of place or stuck in place), whatever that nerve is going to - heart, stomach, immune system, muscles, etc. - will not work properly. Chiropractic adjustments realign the joints, therefore taking the pressure off the nerve and allowing more normal motion. Chiropractic is wonderful for alleviating pain, but prevention and maintenance are the keys to health and wellness. Dr. Genter helps in many facets of healthcare through gentle, effective adjustments aimed at "turning your power on" by relieving pressure on nerves that may be hindering you from having optimal health. Dr. Genter specializes in the delicate needs of pregnant women as well as infants and children, but treats everyone! Chiropractic care during pregnancy has been proven not only to help with back, leg, pelvic and hip pain, but also allows you to have an easier labor and delivery. Dr. Genter is Webster Technique certified, a specific technique that allows for optimal position of the baby for birth. We offer consultations, examinations, testing, adjustments, physiotherapies and nutrition. Most insurance is accepted. Personal pay discounts are available. Licensed Massage Therapists and Doctor of Oriental Medicine on site. Located one block west of Juan Tabo on Menaul.
