Dr. Kristin LH Ochs, DC (she/her)

I’m Dr. Kristin Ochs (pronounced like the tree—“oaks”). You can call me Dr. Ochs, or Kristin - but never Dr. Kristin (for some reason I hate that one). I’m passionate about helping people live their best lives. Before becoming a chiropractor, I built a career in fitness as a personal trainer and later as a Fitness & Nutrition Director for a national gym. I worked closely with special populations, using my certification in corrective exercise to help people regain function and independence. Witnessing the body’s amazing ability to heal and thrive when given the proper support is what inspired me to pursue further education in human biology and chiropractic care.

I earned both my B.S. and Doctor of Chiropractic (D.C.) at the University of Western States in Portland, Oregon. In practice since 2013, I combine chiropractic adjustments, rehabilitative exercise, craniosacral therapy, and lifestyle modifications to help each patient reach their fullest potential. My goal is never to take away the things people love—I’d much rather work with my patients to adapt and modify until they’re able to return fully to the activities that bring them joy.

I grew up in Visalia and, after 20 years away, I’m thrilled to be back and serving the community that raised me. Creating a safe, inclusive space is deeply important to me, and I’m committed to making sure everyone feels welcome in my office, including members of the LGBTQ+ and BIPOC communities.

Outside the clinic, I’m a proud mom of a medically fragile kiddo, a devoted wife, a yoga enthusiast, and (admittedly) a terrible gardener. And if there’s a karaoke mic nearby—you can bet I’ll be singing my heart out.
