Chiropractor
Dr Karen Habershon graduated from the prestigious Anglo-European College of Chiropractic following a 5 years Masters of Chiropractic Degree. She uses a variety of techniques including Diversified, CCEP techniques, Activator and Taping. Her additional CCEP (Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner) qualification provides additional knowledge into the diagnosis and treatment of various extremity (hips, knees, ankles, shoulder, elbows etc) and sports injuries.
Karen’s career started unexpectedly in London. Growing up in the countryside she never thought she’d be there long. 12 years later after working in a few practices and running her own chiropractic clinic for over 10 years she relocated to Exeter, Devon where she now lives with her partner and daughter. She loved the diversity and exposure to different Chiropractic clinics London brought, but always knew she would end up back in the ‘West Country’ to start her family.
Working with Athletes
Karen’s sports experience includes working with teams and individuals such as:
- New Zealand Rugby League team
- London Wasps Colts
- Premier League football Players
- Football Academy preparing talented young players for the world of professional football
In addition to her clinical work she enjoyed on the spot decision making pitch-side work brought, as well as those more subtle adjustments required to:
- Fine tune athletes
- Help overcome injury
- Return to play
Working in the Pregnancy & Paediatrics field
Karen has spent extra time studying the treatment of pregnant women and paediatrics (babies), in addition to experience working in a clinic which attracted a large number of pregnant patients and paediatrics. She enjoys helping pregnant women achieve a more comfortable pregnancy and helping to relax babies into a more settled start to life. Here are a few common complaints new parents have consulted her with:
- Breastfeeding difficulties
- Excessively crying babies
- Babies who don’t appear to be reaching milestones
- Lack of sleep for mother and baby
Since becoming a mother herself she has a whole new vision into this area. Karen says:
‘Experiencing pregnancy and childbirth has brought a whole new understanding. Having met many other mothers (and fathers), along the way it’s all so clear just how unique and individual each parents journey is, from the lead up to conception right through to delivery, postpartum recovery and then the ongoing management of children thereafter. All I can say is I have a whole new respect for women and parenting!’

Recreational time
Since having her first child in 2023 Karen’s level of adventure has eased a little. However Karen does try to get out most days for some form of exercise, perhaps no longer the all day bike rides or hikes.
Sport is an important part of Karen’s life and she understands how frustrating it can be to be held back by injury. She leads an active lifestyle cycling, swimming, surfing, Pilates and free weights. Since having her first child in 2023 the big cycles and mammoth walks have eased off a little, but she still goes on many family adventures in beautiful Devon.
Personally Karen has competed in:
- Devizes to Westminster (125 mile) canoe race winning the ladies doubles
- Bristol half marathon
- Windsor Spartan Sprint
- Prudential 100 (100mile bike ride) – Lots of blog posts on her training journey can be found here
She is registered with the General Chiropractic Council (03550) and a member of the British Chiropractic Association.
