--- title: Education & FAQs | Karen May, DC, CCSP, CCIP (4) description: "Karen was born and raised in Petoskey, Michigan. She opened her own chiropractic and functional medicine practice in 2007 and served the greater Lansing community until an injury changed the course of her career in 2017. In May of that year, after surgery on her shoulder, she was diagnosed with a rare complication and was left with neuropathy on the dominant side of her body. She was told that it would take years to recover, if she ever did, and that prescription drugs were the only option she had for pain relief. True to her belief in natural health solutions, she began looking for different options. The journey to heal herself led her to a new and widely unheard- of form of neuropathy treatment. Passionate about bringing this holistic treatment approach to others, she turned Momentum Health Centers into a neuropathy treatment center and serves the community by sharing the natural, holistic that helped her. Dr. Karen May, DC, CCSP, CCIP is a Doctor of Chiropractic, Certified Chiropractic Sports Physician, Certified in Chronic Intractable Pain and Neuropathy.
