Dr. Theresa Hopkins graduated summa cum laude from New York Chiropractic College in Seneca Falls, NY. After graduation, she was fortunate enough to meet Dr. Lydia Knutson, who became her mentor and trained her in the unique non-force chiropractic technique developed by Dr. David Newton. While completing her training at NYCC, Dr. Hopkins was offered the opportunity to intern at the V.A. Hospital in Buffalo, NY. The experience helped develop her interest in treating the geriatric population, while introducing her to the population's unique health needs. She hopes to continue to serve this valued part of our community, which she believes can benefit greatly from non-force chiropractic. Theresa also has a keen interest in neuroscience, and hopes to one day pursue a diplomate in neurology. Theresa holds a license to practice chiropractic in Massachusetts, and is a member of the American Chiropractic Association and the Massachusetts Chiropractic Society.
Before attending NYCC, Theresa graduated with a bachelors of science in biology and chemistry from Clarkson University in Potsdam, NY. While at Clarkson, Theresa was both president and an avid member of the Clarkson Theatre Company. Theresa's interest in chiropractic began while she was a student at Clarkson. Originally a pre-med student, she became disillusioned with the medical field, and decided to pursue a more holistic approach to health care. She shadowed a local chiropractor, and was amazed at the results she saw. Soon after, she made the decision to begin her chiropractic studies.
When not treating patients, Theresa enjoys reading, cooking, and playing tennis. She currently resides in Arlington with her college sweetheart and their two cats.
