ABOUT OUR PRACTICE
An Opportunity
to Achieve Optimal Health of Body, Mind, and Spirit
 At
Community Chiropractic & Acupuncture we are committed
to providing individualized and compassionate patient care.
Dr. Karen Thomas founded the practice 20 years ago with
the express purpose of providing leading-edge alternative
healthcare to the Park Slope community. The practice has
grown considerably since then, and moved from its original
location at Lincoln Place and Sixth Avenue to its present
location on Eighth Avenue at Union Street.
Dr. Thomas is a 1987 graduate of the New York
Chiropractic College and maintains a thriving private practice
in Park Slope, Brooklyn. Her post-doctoral credentials include:
a diplomate in chiropractic neurology from Logan Chiropractic
College and The Carrick Institute, and certification in
homeopathy from New York Chiropractic College.
In 1998, Dr. Thomas added traditional Chinese
medicine (TCM) and acupuncture to her qualifications when
she completed a four-year program at the Pacific College
of Oriental Medicine in New York City. She creates and teaches
programs on complimentary alternative medicine (CAM) approaches
to pain management. She has served as a college lecturer
and has also worked with multi-disciplinary clinics.
 How
we work
At Community Chiropractic & Acupuncture we apply both
Eastern and Western medical theory to establish a diagnosis
and treatment plan designed specifically for each patient.
Our goal is to help our patients enjoy an optimal quality
of life with improved physical health, mental well-being
and a sense of spiritual tranquility.
During each visit we treat your primary health
concern, such as pain relief, organ disharmony, or emotional
stress. Simultaneously, we address the ultimate goal: balancing
your body’s life force, or Qi ( or ‘chi’
pronounced: chee), and restoring your body to optimal health.
Treatment plans
Treatment plans may include a combination of elements such
as:
All of these are integrative aspects of our
on-premises care. In addition, every patient becomes involved
in their own care by making designated lifestyle changes.
