Chiropractor
"Dr. GiGi" | Golzar Ghanbari D.C.
Dr. GiGi is a Virginia Beach native and graduated from Ocean Lakes High School in the heart of Hampton Roads. After suffering from a major kickboxing injury, she discovered and fell in love with the chiropractic profession and has never looked back.
She loves helping people heal from injuries like her own and watching how far they progress with chiropractic care and rehabilitation exercises. Although she did not begin her chiropractic journey until attending Virginia Tech, she was able to overcome her injuries and now emphasizes the importance of getting your spine checked from a young age.
Dr. GiGi has spent most of her career working with patients from all walks of life - from newborn babies to elderly patients trying to get around more comfortably, she has adjusted them all. She believes that looking at the body biomechanically as a whole is more beneficial than looking at just one joint or problem area.
Education / Certifications / Training Courses
- Doctor of Chiropractic from Life University in Marietta, Georgia
- Bachelors in Human Nutrition, Foods, and Exercise Sciences from Virginia Tech
- Extensive education in Thompson drop table Technique as well as pediatric and perinatal adjusting techniques
On a personal note...
You can always find Dr. GiGi making a joke in our office as she loves to laugh, live life to its fullest, and have a great time. She has been an avid basketball and tennis player from a young age and loves working with athletes to improve their performance. When she is not cheering on the Virginia Tech Hokies, you can find her on a boat or at the beach enjoying the beautiful weather.
