Dedicated to Natural Healing and Patient Wellness
Dr. Kim Privitera has been a dedicated chiropractor at Woodstock Chiropractic for 27 years, helping patients recover from injuries and achieve lasting wellness through natural and effective treatments.

A Personal Journey into Chiropractic Care
Dr. Kim’s journey into chiropractic care began with her own experience—after suffering a shoulder injury, she found dramatic relief after just one chiropractic visit. Inspired by the power of natural healing, she earned her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from the University of Western States in 1998, following her undergraduate studies in Biology at the University of Colorado, Boulder. Before becoming a chiropractor, she gained valuable experience working at Boulder Community Hospital as a nursing aide and physical therapy aide in both inpatient and outpatient rehabilitation settings.
