General Info:
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 isnt 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!
