Dr. Karina Donskoy Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Karina grew up in Los Angeles, California after immigrating as a young child with her family
from Russia. She attended University of California, Santa Cruz for her Bachelor’s degree and still
goes back there for vacation. She studied Forensic Anthropology and romanticized becoming
the next “Bones,” but decided to instead focus her anatomy education onto the living
population. A timely bike accident at the time introduced Karina to the world of physical
therapy and chiropractic. She began volunteering in hospitals and rehab clinics and enjoyed her
years working as a physical therapy aide.
Her forensic science and anatomy background and passion for an active lifestyle blended
together perfectly, and Karina attended Palmer West College of Chiropractic, in San Jose,
California. Karina was active in the Motion Palpation club and weekend seminars, Sports
Council events, and enjoyed treating an active demographic. She was very active in the Crossfit
community (and still is!) and enjoyed participating in local competitions.
Karina truly believes in the power of chiropractic for everyone and enjoys treating a vast
demographic. She enjoys utilizing instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization, rock tape, rehab
education, and manual adjusting to treat her patients and get them out of pain and back to
enjoying their lives and activities. Karina is Webster certified and loves working with pregnant
and postpartum patients. She understands firsthand how challenging this experience can be.
Pregnancy is a very special time and she is honored to work with the people bringing new life
into this world.
Outside of work, Karina enjoys reading fiction, camping, backpacking, and munching on
delicious freeze dried meals in the backcountry. She has a pair of sibling Australian Shepherds
named Henry and Ellie who keep her extremely active.
