Dr. Kelly is a graduate of Palmer Chiropractic College, West Campus.

 

Though she started her undergraduate studies as an engineering student at Chico State; she found her true calling after getting her Certication in Massage Therapy, she had fallen in love with the intricacies  the human body.  She realized that she wanted to personally help people better their health and well-being. She earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Physiology with a minor in Human Resource Management at CSU Chico in 2009. While studying to become a doctor of chiropractic, she was able to transfer many skills from her previous interest of engineering and apply them to her exploration of the human body.

 

Personal experience with pain and the healing recovery process:

After a serious car accident in 2011, she has a better understanding to the individual healing process.

She had to go through the stages of healing and self care with chronic pain. It's a long road and there are so many ways to go wrong or not help yourself along the way, she had to go to different doctors to find any answers to better her healing process. Dr. Kelly explains, "I wish I knew then what I do now it would have saved me so much time and money getting to the right person for the applicable helpful adivce for my condition, not just the condition title they gave me!" Because of this, she is excited to teach people how to address the underlying issues that cause their pain and get them back to their life and best health. She likes to create a healing environment for her patients and their families. If she's not able to help, she'll let  you know, and send you in the right direction!

 

Knowledge:

With her extensive knowledge of Anatomy, Physiology, Biomechanics, and Neuromuscular conditions, she will help patients understand how the osseous (bone) structures affects the function of their bodies and how Chiropractic can pave the way to better overall health. She is up to date on the newest evidence-based therapies and techniques, allowing her to treat many ages from newborn babies through geriatrics. 

 

Since Graduating:

Dr. Kelly Spent a full year working at Folsom Life Chiropractic, right out of school. She felt confident to start her own practice. Dr. Kelly has been running her own practice since 2015. She's aimed to organically grow her practice, helping people get out of pain, move through rehab and lifestyle changes and helped her patients get back to their lives. Unfortunately this creates a problem, patients don't need to come in as often, which means she's always looking to seek out more people she can help. It's s good problem to have though (this is what I mean by organically grown practice). Dr. Kelly States, "I promised myself when I started a practice I would not push patients to come in for care that is not needed." 

​

She got married in 2023 and is happy with her life, her husband, stepdaughter and their dog. 

 

Big Picture:

She gets great joy seeing the positive changes in her patients’ lives!
