About Us

** Sister Power! **

*** Dr. Carol and her twin sister, Betsy (on right). *** There are seven children in my immediate family. My twin sister and I are numbers five (me) and six. Our mom was only 25 years old when we were born bringing the count to six children, six years old and under. Twelve years later she added one more, what was she thinking! Mom had her hands full! Most of my family members have their own business, starting with my parents who are going on 42 years. Growing up and working in their retail store, Bonnie's, I realized my mom “raised seven chiefs and no Indians”. So even after becoming a Chiropractor, I still have the itch to sell STUFF. I hope my goodies are enjoyable for you. I have been a practicing Chiropractor since 1994 in Oxnard, California. I specialize on hands on adjustments and deep tissue work. I believe that is necessary and very effective to apply heat (or ice) before working the tissue (muscle and ligaments) that surrounds the involved bones, before the adjustment is preformed. I had the pleasure of attending both Western States Chiropractic College and Palmer College of Chiropractic West, which gave me a unique blend of techniques, practice and theory. Chiropractic care is generally the same everywhere. Chiropractic students attend a vigorous four-year education leading to the Doctor of Chiropractic degree, which includes an on-site internship. In order to qualify to take our individual state board examines we are required to a complete certain amount of qualified subjects including anatomy, physiology, pathology, microbiology, histology, and that’s just in the basic sciences. We also have a very extensive clinical education which trains us, in an effective way, to help restore normal function the human body. A lot of students will take additional training while in school while others wait until after they finish their state board examine. A lot of Chiropractors “specialize” in a certain technique. We find what works for us as Doctors and what is effective for our patients. The confusing part for people seeking Chiropractic care is that in the phonebook we are listed only under “Chiropractor”, where as MD’s are listed by their specialty, i.e., Cardiology. So remember the basic rule in almost all situations is, to ASK – what – where – when – how – why! Doctors of Chiropractic take continuing education every year to maintain our license and allow us to keep on top of things. MY THEORY IS THAT EVERY BODY NEEDS CHIROPRACTIC CARE. Unless you’re bleeding, have a broken bone or know that you have a specific medical condition causing your specific “PAIN” – it will probably be in your best interest to seek Chiropractic care. “Give it a try, you’ll like it” If you have a “physical” problem such as LOW BACK PAIN, NECK PAIN, FOOT / KNEE PAIN, ELBOW / WRIST PAIN, TIGHTNESS BETWEEN THE SHOULDER BLADES, OR EVEN IF “IT JUST FEELS LIKE YOU HAVE A MONKEY ON YOUR BACK”. You will benefit from Chiropractic care. I use the business name, “Massage by DrCarol”. One day I was working on a client at an outside event along with one of my older sisters, DrAnn (also a Chiropractor), and someone came up with a slogan I have used ever since, “I may rub you the wrong way but you’ll like it”. Believe me; I have had ALL kinds of comments. As you can probably figure out, I like to have fun. It has been proven over and over again that the number one healing factor is – laughter! Stay healthy; and remember, “Reading is exercise for the mind!” Please email me if you have any questions! Email Me:
