Dr. Cara Olsen - Family Practitioner & Neuro Specialist
DC, CDMF, CCSMS
Dr. Cara Olsen is a family chiropractor that specializes in neurology in Vancouver Washington. With over 20 years of practice and extensive studies, she has developed a technique of diagnosis with biomechanics and motion palpation that is able to fine-tune any joint in the human body. Her unique combination of experience, education, and skill is what allows her to go beyond the scope of stand-alone machine diagnostics to pinpoint your problem, piece together an extremely accurate overall picture of your condition, and what it takes to fix it. She will also utilize various forms of medicine so that she can get your body’s system back to its original state of balance. She is extremely grateful to have been able to observe and work with the most successful medical offices around the world. She believes in utilizing other medical providers to provide an efficient, permanent, and cost-effective integrative medical solution to your injury so it does not reoccur or result in semi-permanent damage. Dr. Cara currently practices Chiropractic in Vancouver, WA, Arizona, Maui, and Colorado.
The Dr. Cara Olsen DC Technique is a custom integration of all of the most effective techniques she’s learned from successful medical providers around the world. These techniques are uniquely applied to each patient based on an accurate diagnosis which can only be made at end range movement patterns within the joint capsule. Each treatment begins with a diagnosis and a detailed educational connection with the patient so they know what is wrong as well. She then proceeds by removing the worst restrictions in the body to restore proper movement. Afterwards, she works on the unstable, overused, and injured joints by stabilizing the muscles which are guarding the joint. Most practices will stretch, scrape, and adjust the injured area of complaint. This is short term distraction; symptom therapy, that will not be performed at this office because it is not a long term solution. Dr. Cara blends chiropractic care, neurology, functional and regenerative medicine with nutrition and lifestyle modifications to eliminate the problems that are causing you pain. This may include rehabilitation exercises and stretches that you do at your discretion. Dr. Cara also specializes in treating cranial and advanced injuries as well as many different manipulative, soft tissue, and physical therapies including Mckenzie, Fascia, Rolfing, Taping, and more! As a female chiropractor she also specializes in female care, reproductive issues and other symptoms for females only.
