Dr. Caitlin, or “Dr. C” as her patients affectionately call her, grew up an athlete in the Chicago area. She played softball for 12 years before suffering a shoulder injury that ended her career. From a young age, Dr. C knew she wanted to pursue an occupation in healthcare. Her passion for helping people + her fascination of the human body + her love of sports all collided to lead her down the path to becoming a sports chiropractor.
Prior to starting chiropractic school, Dr. C worked as a personal trainer. Just before that, she earned her bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology and Spanish from the University of Illinois—Urbana-Champaign.
During chiropractic school at Palmer, Dr. C completed extracurricular coursework in the extremities (feet, knees, hips, wrists, shoulders, etc.), soft tissues, rehabilitation, and elastic taping. Following graduation, she became certified in all three levels of NeuroKinetic Therapy®. She utilizes her unique array of skillsets to approach diagnosis and treatment from various perspectives.
When she is not working, Dr. C enjoys traveling, Latin dancing, Pilates, Zumba, biking, and spending time with friends and family. She resides in Palm Harbor with her husband, Peter, and their two pups, Milo & Luna.
