About Christina Carlson
Meet Christina
Some people are good at their jobs. Some people make life a little easier for everyone around them. And then there are the rare people who somehow make you feel calmer, more welcome, and genuinely cared for within just a few minutes of meeting them.
That’s Christina Carlson.
Christina joined the Care Chiropractic family on July 15, 2025, and from the very beginning, we knew she was someone extraordinary. In fact, Jolene knew after just one interview. She walked away saying, “I think we just found someone really special.” She couldn’t have been more right.
Sometimes a résumé tells you about a person’s education. Sometimes an interview tells you about their experience. But every once in a while, you meet someone whose kindness speaks long before they ever say a word. Christina is one of those people.
She has one of the warmest, most genuine personalities you’ll ever encounter. She naturally remembers names, asks about your family, celebrates your victories, and quietly encourages you through life’s challenges. She has a heart of gold, and caring for others isn’t something she turns on at work—it’s simply who she is.
Some people make you feel important because of what they do. Christina has a rare gift for making people feel important simply because you’re in the room.
Patients notice it almost immediately. Before they learn about her education or experience, they notice something much more meaningful—they feel comfortable. They feel heard. They feel welcomed. Most importantly, they feel like they matter. That’s exactly how healthcare should feel.


Christina graduated from the University of Iowa in 2023 with a Bachelor’s Degree in English and Creative Writing before earning her Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from the University of Northern Iowa in May of 2026. Her education gave her something incredibly valuable: the ability to communicate with compassion and, even more importantly, the ability to truly listen.
Throughout college, Christina worked in chiropractic offices across Iowa, but she often says she finally found her home at Care Chiropractic. Fortunately for us, we feel exactly the same way.
Behind the scenes, Christina has become exceptionally skilled at verifying insurance benefits, answering billing questions, and helping patients navigate the often confusing world of insurance. She approaches every situation with patience, professionalism, and a genuine desire to help people receive the care they deserve. She understands that behind every insurance card and every phone call is a real person simply looking for answers—and she never loses sight of that.
As impressive as her professional skills are, they still aren’t what make Christina so special. What makes her exceptional is the way she quietly takes care of people.
She notices when a teammate could use a helping hand before anyone asks. She celebrates other people’s successes, encourages those around her, and is constantly looking for ways to make someone else’s day a little brighter. Whether it’s a patient or a coworker, Christina is always thinking about how she can help. Those qualities can’t be taught. They come from having an extraordinary heart.
One of the things we’re most proud of at Care Chiropractic isn’t just our experience or technology—it’s our people. Dr. Sean and Jolene have worked hard to create an office that feels different from the typical healthcare practice. It’s a place where teammates genuinely care about one another, where laughter is heard every day, and where patients quickly become part of the family.
Christina fits that culture perfectly.
Christina Family Life

Outside the office, Christina enjoys spending time with her fiancé, Jaden, and their two cats, Mina and Ashes. Whether she’s relaxing on the porch with a good book, exploring the beautiful trails around Cedar Rapids, or baking homemade sourdough, she appreciates life’s simple moments. She and Jaden are excited to build their future here in the Cedar Rapids area, and we’re incredibly grateful Care Chiropractic gets to be part of that journey.
At Care Chiropractic, we’ve always believed exceptional healthcare is about more than great doctors—it’s about surrounding patients with extraordinary people from the moment they walk through our doors until the moment they leave. Christina embodies that philosophy every single day.
If you’ve never visited Care Chiropractic, we’d love for you to experience what makes our office different. Yes, we provide exceptional chiropractic care and advanced technology, but what patients remember most is how they’re treated—the smiles, the conversations, and the feeling that someone genuinely cares. Christina is one of the biggest reasons that happens every day.
There’s a good chance she’ll be one of the first smiling faces to welcome you. Don’t be surprised if you leave feeling like you’ve known her for years—that’s simply the kind of person she is.
So if you’re looking for a chiropractic office where you’ll be welcomed like family instead of treated like a number, we invite you to come meet Christina and the rest of the Care Chiropractic team.
We have a feeling you’ll quickly discover what makes Care Chiropractic so special… and why so many people leave wishing they’d found us sooner.

What Our Patients Say
EXCELLENT Based on 411 reviews Posted on Google Eugene PHILLIPSTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m a new patient at Care Chiropractic. The two ladies were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and went out of their way to make me feel comfortable. They were so helpful as I filled out my new patient paperwork, which made the process smooth and stress-free. Such a great first impression!Posted on Google Stephenie RitchieTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My husband couldn’t hardly move when walking into care chiropractic. After one visit he was moving better and felt better than he had with previous chiropractors. While there the staff was super friendly and let me sit into a massage chair while waiting for husband to complete an optional aftercare muscle stimulation.Posted on Google Jackie PriceTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Everyone at the office is very friendly and welcoming. They make sure to accommodate my schedule to ensure I get appointments when needed. Dr Sean takes great care of me. If anyone asks for a chiropractor recommendation, I always give them Care Chiropractic’s name!Posted on Google Kim TuckerTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Care Chiropractic has been my go to for Chiropractic care for at least 13 years. The staff is always friendly and knows me by name. The office has an inviting open atmosphere and you feel like more than just a patient when you walk in. Everyone is very personable and accommodating. I have moved and am now over an hour away, but still make the drive to see Dr DeVries. I have never received care from Dr. Dunkel but he always make it a point to say hi and get life/family updates when I am in the office. They have a very personalized approach and customize it to each patient which makes the experience and care 100% better! I have been through everything with doctors from physical therapy, MRIs, to pain epidural shots, but what helps the most is the chiro care and maintanence provided by Dr. Devries and care Chiropractic. Highly recommend to anyone of all ages!Posted on Google Lisa WeilandTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great place for all your chiropractic needs! Everyone here is always friendly and helpful! Highly recommend!!!Posted on Google Kaelan SchildrothTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Sean is friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly takes pride in his work. Every adjustment feels intentional and tailored to me. While away at college, I would drive two hours just to see him — I tried a few other chiropractors closer to school, but none came close. He creates a positive, welcoming environment and always brings great energy. Highly recommend to anyone looking for quality chiropractic care.Posted on Google Tom CarterTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Care Chiropractic is a very professional medical service. Two doctors operate and both are both knowledgeable and caring. I did not particularly believe in chiropractic but with chronic pain and little success with medical doctors, I decided to make appointment. After the first appointment my back felt significantly better and now, after 6 adjustments, I am pain free much of the time after nearly 40 years of serious and chronic suffering. I give Care Chiropractic my highest recommendation. The office is well managed and the doctors are available as needed.Posted on Google Paige KingTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Staff was very friendly and smiley. They always say hello and have a great day! I Have been coming here since I was 10 and one thing is they truly care! When I was a kid and a storm hit when we were at the chiro or the sirens went off, they always checked on me and the staff would take me in a room with no windows and sit with me till it was my turn or my family was done. They always have patients interest at heart!Posted on Google James LibeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Incredible care and concern shown from every staff member. I've been going to Care Chiropractic for sometime now and I've felt incredible results. Both with my adjustments (from Dr. Sean) and alsoI have felt incredible benefits from their massage therapist (Kat). I would recommend chiropractic care from Care Chiropractic to anyone. Dr. Sean has also done incredible things in terms of adjusting my sister throughout her entire pregnancy!
