Dr Carolyn – Chiropractor

About

At my practice, I am proud to provide a safe, inclusive, and welcoming space for the LGBTQIA+ community, including transgender and gender-diverse individuals. My goal is to create an environment where everyone feels respected, understood, and supported on their unique health journey.

I understand that healthcare can sometimes feel unwelcoming or intimidating, especially for members of the LGBTQIA+ community, like myself. That’s why I’m committed to offering a space where you can feel truly seen and valued.

Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, improved mobility, or support during significant life transitions like surgery, hormone therapy, or pregnancy, I’m here to provide compassionate care tailored to your specific needs.

PERSONALIZED CARE TAILORED TO YOU

Every person’s body is unique, and I believe your chiropractic care should reflect that. I take the time to listen to your story, understand your concerns, and tailor treatments to align with your goals.

For transgender and gender diverse patients, I provide care that affirms your gender identity and considers specific needs related to binding, tucking, or physical changes from hormone therapy or surgery. My aim is to help you feel at ease in your body while enhancing your overall health and well-being.

A COMMITMENT TO COMMUNITY AND COMFORT

When you visit my clinic, you’ll find a space designed to make everyone feel comfortable and respected.

  • Inclusive Intake Forms: My forms and processes affirm your name, pronouns, and gender identity.

  • Trauma-Informed Approach: Your comfort and safety are my top priorities. I maintain open communication to ensure you feel in control and supported throughout your care.

  • Collaborative Care: If needed, I am happy to work alongside other healthcare providers to support your overall wellness.

ADDRESSING SPECIFIC HEALTH CONCERNS

Chiropractic care can address a wide range of issues, including:

  • Back, neck, and joint pain

  • Posture-related discomfort, often linked to binding or tucking

  • Stress and tension relief, especially for those navigating the challenges of stigma or discrimination

  • Recovery and mobility support during and after gender-affirming surgeries

WHY THIS MATTERS

Representation and inclusion in healthcare are essential. I am here to provide affirming, effective, and empowering chiropractic care that supports you in living your healthiest, happiest life.
