WELCOME Dr. Karen Bisesi !!!
A college injury during springboard diving left Dr Karen Bisesi, “Dr K” with a neck and shoulder injury that couldn’t be solved by a number of health practitioners she visited. Athletic trainers, medical doctors, physical therapists, orthopedists and more tried various interventions such as ultrasound and cortisone shots, but nothing helped. She went to a chiropractor who was able to help her recover. In addition to resolving her neck and shoulder pain, the migraines she experienced since childhood went away and never came back! Looking back this injury was a “blessing in disguise” for Dr K as it lead her to her calling as a Doctor of Chiropractic.
Dr K completed a Bachelor of Science in Sports Medicine from Pepperdine University where she worked as a a Student Athletic Trainer for the Men’s Basketball and Volleyball teams. Then, she enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic West in Northern California. A move to the Midwest led to transferring to National University of Health Sciences in Chicago, where she graduated with honors with her Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) in 1995. She has been in private practice in Indianapolis, Indiana for 25 years before relocating to Arizona to be near family and work for The Joint. However, Dr K grew up in San Diego, CA and is thrilled to return to her beloved southwest.
Over the years, Dr K has worked with a diverse group of people of all ages and types of injuries. With great experience, she can intuitively zero in on the source of your health problem and create the most effective treatment plan for you.
I love the opportunity to share my understanding of natural health and healing with my patients”. Being a Doctor of Chiropractic is a calling for me and I love to help people who had lost hope in their body’s ability to heal itself. The power that made the body…heals the body and I feel it’s a privilege to help guide my patients back to good health and give them strategies to maintain it, which happens to be right in line with the purpose and values of The Joint.
Dr K has a special focus on caring for athletes of all ages from weekend warriors to the pros. She was the Official team Chiropractor for the Indiana Twisters professional indoor soccer team and the Indianapolis Ice Professional hockey team as well as athletes with The Indianapolis Colts and some IndyCar drivers.
Dr K is also a Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner and has postdoctorate training in the evaluation and treatment of the extremity joints like the shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, knee and hip joints in addition to the spinal joints.
Dr K has three sons that have all had Chiropractic care since birth. In her spare time she attends seminars to expand her knowledge. Five years ago. she became board certified and licensed in Acupuncture as well.
On a personal note, the most inspiring thing she’s ever done was snorkeling with her family in Maui and being surrounded by giant sea turtles and dolphins. She really appreciates the power and beauty of nature. The four people she would most love to host for a dinner party would be DD Palmer (founder of Chiropractic), Pope John Paul II, Andrea Bocelli and John Lennon because they are all healers in their own right and I think I could learn a lot from them.
