Karen Goldsmith, the leading fe- male chiropractor in Fayetteville, Dr. Karen Goldsmith began her chiropractic journey with cookies. Dr. Karen was born and raised in San Francisco, where she began run- ning a cookie business from her high school locker. The business expanded to include several restaurants in the Bay Area, ultimately earning her the title of “Best Event Caterers” in San Francisco. Carpal tunnel syndrome and chronic lower back pain from running her busi- ness are what led to her first visit to a chiropractor. With chiropractic care, those symptoms quickly disappeared, along with her frequent headaches. She also found that her overall mood was improved, too! Dr. Karen decided that she wanted to help others feel that great, too. Two years of pre-med and four years of chi- ropractic school later, she opened Atlas Chiropractic. Dr. Karen’s youngest pa- tient was four hours old and her oldest was 94 years old. Chiropractic is based on the scientif- ic fact that the nervous system controls every function in the body. Chiroprac- tors find where the distress is on the nervous system and use safe, drug-free, non-surgical methods to restore better health and balance. Dr. Karen also has amazing face and skin-care products from the Holy Land and is now proud to offer Pretty Baby Naturals. Getting patients well is her #1 goal!
