Dr. Karena is an Oregon native- she graduated from Newberg High school, obtained her BS in Kinesiology from Oregon State University, and furthered her education by receiving both her Doctorate of Chiropractic and MS in Sports Medicine from University of Western States in Portland.
I would say my journey to chiropractic isn’t as “typical” as most- I was committed to the physical therapy path throughout my undergrad education. Post-grad, working “in the field” a series of great (and not so great) mentors put me on the path to Chiropractic inevitably. Because of this, I often lean into a lot of manual therapy work and rehab alongside the classic chiropractic adjustment to resolve issues and pain for patients.
When I’m not in the clinic I enjoy hanging out with family, camping/being outdoors. I am recently married (woo!) to my husband Zach. Along with our orange furry dog, we are in our entrepreneur era.
“Help me help you. I’m here to get you back to doing the things that make you happy/bring you joy/decrease your stress… pick your poison. I believe chiropractic is a team sport- I can’t do it without you.” -Dr. K
