Dr. Carla’s journey into healing began with her own pain.
As a child, she was hit by a car. What seemed like a recovered injury left a long shadow — contributing to years of chronic pain, fatigue, depression, and weight gain that followed her into adulthood. Conventional medicine managed her symptoms. Nothing resolved them.
Then, in her late twenties, she discovered chiropractic care and subsequently, Bio-Energetic Synchronization Technique, or B.E.S.T. — and everything changed. Not just physically. Her energy returned. Her mood lifted. The weight she’d carried for years — in every sense — began to release.
She didn’t just want to feel better. She needed to understand why it worked. And once she did, she knew exactly what she was meant to do.
In 2006, Dr. Carla opened her B.E.S.T. practice. Rooted in chiropractic principles and neurology, B.E.S.T. uses a non-force technique that aligns the brain and body — allowing the nervous system to release stored stress and restore the body’s own healing capacity. Over time, she found herself wanting to go deeper — to offer her patients even more. So she enrolled at Life University and earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2015.
A Chicago native who was long overdue for some sunshine, she opened her Scottsdale practice that same year. After eight years there, she brought her practice to Uptown Phoenix — and in 2025, became the proud steward of Breathe Chiropractic , carrying forward the legacy of the deeply loved Dr. Mike Solomon, who served this community for nearly 20 years.
