Dr. Cara Olsen
Doctor of Chiropractic

Dr. Olsen began her medical journey when she was seven years old in her chiropractor’s office.  She decided that day to become a chiropractor after her father carried her mother in the office, laid her on the treatment table, and watched her mother walk out smiling a few minutes later.  She wanted to help people just like that.  Dr. Olsen received her, Bachelor of Science degree in physical science, from UW-Whitewater Wisconsin.  After graduating from Western States Chiropractic College in Portland Oregon, she relocated to Vancouver, Washington, to start her own practice. Dr. Cara Olsen is practicing chiropractic medicine and getting lasting results with patients. In addition to treating muscular/skeletal conditions, she is able to compliment patient’s health with nutritional supplements, diet modification, and problems related to posture, stress, and fatigue.  Dr. Olsen works with her patients to establish a treatment program individual for that patient. It's through this doctor-patient relationship that the patient’s health problems are diagnosed, treated, and resolved.

"I know it is very difficult to find a health provider today, most are very busy and there is a wide variety of techniques provided amongst chiropractors.  Let me tell you about my philosophy of practice.  I do not use machines to diagnose my patients, I primarily use motion palpation technique which simply means I use my hands to feel joint movement and take x-rays only when necessary.  I blend chiropractic care, nutritional advice, and life style modifications, to eliminate the problems which are causing you pain.  I also give rehabilitation exercises and stretches to every patient to do at their discretion.  I educate my patients on how to use their mind, body, and environment in harmony, not only to treat current problems but to prevent future problems from happening.  The patient’s mind and body are responsible for healing, as the doctor I treat problems to reduce obstacles and educate the patient, so they can heal them selves."
