Meet Dr Diane Levitt

Meet Dr. Diane Levitt

My interest in natural healing and wellness began to peak as a teenager, and was, in retrospect, an extension of the fascination with and extra studies in marine, animal, and human biology enjoyed during elementary and junior high school. By high school, I began to study about natural foods and diet, gardened, and even farmed as a young adult. Meditation became a part of my life. Exercise was certainly always there: an avid bicyclist from youth into adulthood, swimming, hours at the golf driving range, dance, gymnastics, horseback riding, hiking... I remember joining one of the first Nautilus gyms and have been weight training for three decades now, and some years ago I became a student of wonderful Tai Chi. I have treated many athletes and appreciate their sports and the mechanisms of function and injury.

My quest to learn more brought all manner of books my way, and fortunately for me, one was by a chiropractor.  I injured my low back from heavy lifting, and it just made sense to me to seek help from a chiropractor. Like so many others who have first experiences with chiropractic, I went for pain relief first and then grew to understand the profound effect chiropractic care can have on total health. Of course, my low back was helped, but also I was inspired to become a Chiropractic Physician. I am honored to say that as an intern before graduation and during my years in practice, the care I've been fortunate to provide has inspired others to change their career paths also and become Doctors of Chiropractic.

I can empathize with patients who have had injuries and accidents requiring surgery because it happened to me and those close to me. Healing takes time, but my experience has been that chiropractic and natural healing can help with recovery. Health and wellness became personal in another more positive way with the birth of my lovely and amazing daughter in 1990. When she was nine, I became a home-school mom for six years, along with owning and working at Chiropractic Plus. I understand the challenges and labors of love raising a child brings, and I have a special interest in caring for women and mothers and their children. My daughter, a cum laude college graduate from a prestigious women's college at age 19 and a successful young woman, retains her respect for natural diet and natural healing approaches as she prepares for graduate school for her chosen profession.

Other than the focus I am compelled to give patients, my clinic and my continuing education, I thoroughly enjoy theater, dance, and music performances, spending time at art galleries and museums, Tai Chi, exercise and outside time (including napping in my hammock!), reading, and spending time with friends, among other things.
