While in high school I considered becoming a massage therapist for my career. Once I graduated high school, I still hadn’t made a decision on what I wanted to do as a career. So, instead of going to college I joined the Army. I was sure that I didn’t want to stay in the Army as a career, so I needed to figure out what I wanted to do. I juggled around the idea of becoming a massage therapist or go to school for a bit longer and become a physical therapist. During my last tour in Afghanistan, I experienced a very sharp hip pain that wouldn’t go away. I went to my doctor and they gave me meds. A physical therapist told me to stretch. I even had hip MRI, and no one could give me a definitive answer. At one time, I was asked if they could do exploratory surgery to see what was going on. I vehemently said “NO”. After many visits with no resolution, they told me I was on my own. At that point someone recommended seeing a chiropractor in town. One visit with the Chiropractor and I was feeling 75% better. He was able to answer my questions and his vast knowledge of anatomy astounded me. At that point I figured out what I wanted to do as a career.

I moved from Michigan to Oregon to study at University of Western States and fell in love with the Pacific Northwest.

She has worked in various healthcare clinics as a Medical Assistant, as well as running the front desk and customer service. Alejandra says that “Every patient has a reason for seeing a chiropractor. When a patient is in a lot of pain, they are not happy. It is our job to ease the pain they are experiencing to help them feel hopeful for a complete recovery”. Outside of the office, Alejandra has a seven year old son who she says is her biggest motivation. He keeps her working hard and continuing to improve herself. She loves that he can learn about chiropractic care at a young age and begin to understand how important it is to maintain a healthy lifestyle.

Kasey started with HealthSource in February, 2016. She is certified as a Chiropractic Assistant and is the clinics Rehab Specialist. Kasey attended Montana State University where she earned a Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology. While attaining a degree at MSU, Kasey was also apart of the Women’s Volleyball team. Being a Division 1 collegiate athlete, along with her studies, has given her a greater understanding into the rehabilitation process. Kasey says she truly started realizing the importance of staying on top of physical health while playing volleyball. “I had various injuries which required 4 surgeries in the span of 4 years at MSU and had a minimum of 6 weeks rehab per surgery. It really opened my eyes to the importance and necessity of staying on top of my rehab in order to get back to 100%”. She believes chiropractic care is very underrated when it comes to rehab from a sport injury or any significant trauma. She hopes to continue guiding patients through their recovery process so they can get back to the activities that they enjoy the most.
