DR KAREN ISTED - REGISTERED CHIROPRACTOR
MEET THE TEAM
Dr Karen Isted - Chiropractor
Having graduated in 2012 from the renowned Anglo-European College of Chiropractors
in the United Kingdom, it has been wonderful to be part of something in which I truly
believe in and that makes a daily difference in people's lives. Given the right circumstance
chiropractic care is peerless!
Chiropractic, as a therapeutic modality, boosts the parasympathetic nervous system by stimulating the mechano-receptors in the body and down-regulating the nocicoceptors. This allows the body to move more easily and down-regulate the sympathetic overdrive, that we all find ourselves in daily. Changing the the classic 'Flight-or-Fight' mode into the much more healthy; ''Rest & Digest mode. Leading to better digestion, better healing and improved immune systems in the body.
As a young gap-year student I first encountered chiropractic care whilst working at an Olympic show-jumping yard in the UK. The results were astounding and a decade later I was qualified as a chiropractor. Since then, my children, husband and I all receive regular chiropractic care to help restore and encourage optimal health.
During my time at university I studied under the distinguished pediatric-chiropractor, Dr. Joyce Miller, and developed a special interest in the chiropractic care of infants and expectant mothers. My Masters dissertation focused on the effective treatment myofascial distortions and as a keen sportswoman, I continue to have an interest in both human and equine athletes. Through the decade in practice these initial interests have expanded to include chiropractic care of the older patients, as well as the babies who all respond particularly well to the gentle techniques of SOT and Activator.
I look forward to meeting you at the practice and finding ways together with which we can improve your health and overall wellness.
