Meet Dr. Katherine Flesia
One of the first things you’ll notice about Dr. Katherine Flesia is her passion for chiropractic. Knowing what she does matters for her patients’ health and wellness is what sustains her. So much so that she doesn’t know if she’ll ever retire!
Why Chiropractic?
Dr. Flesia became interested in chiropractic as a result of severe menstrual problems in her teens. The issue became so debilitating she was placed on the pain-killer, Darvon. That did nothing to control the pain, and more invasive procedures were being considered when she found chiropractic.
Through a conversation, she learned a little about how chiropractic worked with the nervous system. She also learned that when the spine loses its ability to move correctly, it can affect how nerves work. Thinking this could possibly be the reason for her suffering, she decided to have her spine checked by a chiropractor trained in this area.
The rest is history! At the age of 18, she went through a care program for about six months. Chiropractic not only found her problem, it corrected the cause of it, as well!
Dr. Flesia became so excited about what this knowledge can do for others that she became a Doctor of Chiropractic. In her 30+ years of practice, she has seen many miracles happen for others, thanks to chiropractic care. Even people who have suffered for years with many types of illness, sickness and decay can benefit.
An Education in Chiropractic and More
Dr. Flesia earned her Doctor of Chiropractic from Palmer College in 1974. She’s very proud of the fact that Palmer is the birthplace of chiropractic; established in 1895.
Throughout her many years of practice, she has seen lots of changes in the profession. What has never changed is her commitment to put her patients’ health, wellness and education first.

Experience Counts
A man came in complaining of a muscle strain in his ribs after being hit by a grocery cart. After speaking with him at length, Dr. Flesia decided to do an x-ray of the area. The film showed a grapefruit-sized tumor under his rib.
He was immediately scheduled for surgery, and had a successful outcome. His doctors told him if the fast-growing tumor had not been found, he would have died within three weeks.
