When Dr. Karen Derr was 12 years old, she was diagnosed with scoliosis that prevented her from participating in school sporting activities. She went to see a chiropractor who had been treating her mother’s back pain. The chiropractor took an x-ray and discovered that Dr. Derr didn’t have the spine’s natural curves, irritating the nerves and blood vessels. She received treatments, and within six months was able to participate on a school athletic team! This event inspired Dr. Derr to become a chiropractor.
Dr. Derr was born in Somerset County, New Jersey, and has resided in Florida for the last 17 years. She is an avid Tampa Bay Lightning fan. She earned a bachelor’s degree in Biology at Bloomfield College and earned her Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from the prestigious New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, New York, in 1996.
She continues her passion for delivering education and wellness care for every patient. She is an active member of the Florida Chiropractic Association. Dr. Derr cares for all conditions of the spine and extremities. Her special interests include the non-surgical management and rehabilitation of intervertebral disc-related conditions such as disc degeneration, disc bulging, and disc herniation syndromes.
Dr. Derr’s desire has always been to offer adults and children options to find relief from health issues without medication or surgery. She is dedicated and passionate about about helping people achieve the best possible results during their treatment.
In her spare time, Dr. Derr enjoys taking cruise vacations with her family and spending time with her two dogs and two cats.

Explains plan of care clearly. She has a calm and non threatening demeanor.
With all my heart, I cannot recommend Dr. Derr highly enough. Currently, I have 12 different doctors for various conditions. Finding a doctor who genuinely listens is rare, but Dr. Derr truly takes the time to understand your concerns without ever making you feel rushed or as if you were not of her caliber. What truly sets her apart is her dedication to patient education. She doesn’t just treat you; she takes the time to teach you about your body. For each and every adjustment visit, Dr. Derr talks to me throughout the adjustment process. She walks me through every single step, ensuring I know exactly what to expect, which immediately makes me feel empowered. She always provides tangible examples and analogies to explain how the treatment works, making complex concepts easy to understand. Dr. Derr’s care is personalized, patient-focused, and incredibly effective. If you are looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and thorough doctor, Dr. Derr is your doctor.
