Board Certified Atlas Orthogonist
Clinical Director at Upper Cervical Spine Centers of Michigan

Dr. Crowley received her BS, with Honors, from The University at Buffalo. She then continued to pursue her Doctor of Chiropractic from the prestigious Life University, graduating Magnum Cum Laude.

While in pursuit of her Chiropractic degree, she suffered terribly with sinusitis and found that traditional Chiropractic was not helpful, that is when a classmate referred her to a Board Certified Atlas Orthogonist. After doing some digging and finding all of the research and scientific methods used by A.O. she went to get her first Atlas Orthogonal adjustment and found her cure from sinusitis. She was so overjoyed at the results she received, that it created a passion in her to help others receive the results they desperately desire through Atlas Orthogonal Upper Cervical care. She completed her externship with Dr. Marilyn Durden D.C., BCAO, and is a Board Certified Atlas Orthogonist. Shortly, after graduating from Life University she moved to Charleston, SC to continue her training with Dr. Rick DiGregoiro D.C., BCAO for over a year. Dr. Crowley is a Board Certified Atlas Orthogonist. In conjunction with A.O. she utilizes and is specifically trained in the F.R.A.S., Activator, Thompson and Torque Release techniques. While working with Dr. Crowley in Charleston, Dr. Rick and Karen fell in love with Dr. Crowley and are excited to partner with her in Monroe.

Dr. Crowley has a passion for research and is currently publishing a research paper on cold laser therapy and adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine. In her free time she is an avid runner and participates in Marathons. She loves hockey and is enjoying herself in Hockey Town and has developed a new love for the Detroit Red Wings! Dr. Crowley is very excited to be serving with the Upper Cervical Spine Centers of Michigan team and changing lives one atlas at a time.
