ABOUT
Hi, I'm Dr. Carol Shwery
I’ve been a dedicated healthcare practitioner for over 40 years and am committed to helping people find the root causes of their health challenges in order to improve and restore their health. I love to spend time with my family, garden, practice yoga, dance, and continue learning and practicing health and healing.
I am a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic, specializing in Applied Kinesiology and non-force techniques. I am certified as a Clinical Nutritionist, Therapeutic Lifestyle Change Doctor, Menopause-Type Doctor, and am certified in Functional medicine by the Kalish Institute of Functional Medicine and am a member of the Institute of Functional Medicine. I have received the distinguished honor of being considered a Center of Excellence business and also the award of Best Chiropractor in Santa Cruz, CA.
My Story
FANTASTIC - TO PARALYZED - TO FANTASTIC AGAIN
At this time in my life, my friends tell me that I’m the Energizer Bunny and I have an abundance of energy. I can work in my garden for eight hours a day, and do whatever I want with joy and with grace.
But it wasn’t always this way. Eighteen years ago, I was diagnosed with a brain tumor after a five year struggle. The fourteen hour operation left me paralyzed on one side of my body. I was incapable of functioning on a physical or mental level. I had to relearn how to do the most basic of things. My recovery and the life I lead today is considered a miracle by all accounts, and would not have happened without the help of Functional Medicine and Chiropractic. I truly am grateful for this experience that has made me a better person as well as a better doctor by far.
