Meet Dr. Giana Anselmo

Background
Dr. Giana Anselmo was born and raised in Pueblo, Colorado. After double-majoring and obtaining a bachelor degree in Integrative Physiology and Psychology from the University of Colorado-Boulder, she headed down to Port Orange, Florida. Dr. Anselmo graduated Magna Cum Laude with her doctorate from Palmer Chiropractic College in 2017. She quickly realized that humidity and huge bugs were not for her, so she hurried back to Denver where she loves living in the city and spending time with her puppy, Bea (who is often an office dog/chiropractic assistant!).
Inspiration
Dr. Anselmo's neck didn't fully move throughout her childhood. About three times per year, her neck would lock up and she couldn't move it from looking to the right for days until the muscles finally calmed down. She asked her primary doctor what to do about this and he responded with, "some necks are like that". Turns out, this was terrible advice! Following a volleyball injury at age 15, Dr. Anselmo saw her grandmother's chiropractor, and immediately after being adjusted, she felt as if 100 pounds had been taken off of her neck AND she had full range of motion for the first time in her life. After several adjustments to restore proper motion in her spine, her neck never locked up in this way again.
Sometimes people don't experience this as early as Dr. Anselmo did. As we hit our 30s and 40s, many of us wonder why our bodies now hurt. But it doesn't have to be this way! If we take care of our one-and-only body, we can still feel great and move with ease throughout our life. Dr. Anselmo loves helping show others that they can feel good in their body, and that their entire body works better with chiropractic adjustments.
Technique
Dr. Anselmo is certified in the Webster technique for prenatal patients and has gone through an 18-month certification program (from the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association) of continuing education on pediatric/prenatal chiropractic care. Dr. Anselmo loves working with moms-to-be and helping both baby and mom be more comfortable throughout the 9-month journey. The Webster technique works with joints, muscles and ligaments throughout the pelvic region, which leads to better motion and more balance in this area. Dr. Anselmo often hears from moms after their first treatment, "Why didn't I do this sooner in my pregnancy?".
Other techniques used by Dr. Anselmo include Diversified, Thompson drops, Logan, Gonstead, Activator, Flexion-Distraction, and Graston.
Dr. Anselmo truly loves her job, and thinks she is the luckiest person to be able to spend every day connecting with so many people while helping them feel better.
Testimonials
I sit at my desk all day long for work ever since COVID, and my lower back could no longer take it. I’m so grateful to have found Dr. Giana, who fixed me so quickly. Her pricing is fair for the treatment she provides and the time she spends with me. I’ve never had muscle work with adjustments like this, and it has gotten me to a place where I’m no longer in pain. I’ll never go anywhere else.

I always feel so much better after an adjustment by Dr. Anselmo. No matter what “problem” I have going on through the years (hip clicking, neck pain, lower back pain), she’s able to fix it! She’s pure magic! She is not only a highly intelligent and skilled doctor, but she is also one with excellent bedside manner. She is funny, kind, personable, and truly cares about what’s going on in my life and how it pertains to my overall health. Would 100% recommend seeing her!

I’d never had a chiropractic adjustment before, but after years hunched over computers for my career I was having daily pain in my neck, shoulders and lower back. Dr. Anselmo addressed my problem areas right away and I feel like a million bucks. I tell everyone I know to get in to see her now!

I’ve known Giana for years, not only is she a kind, loving, compassionate person who listens well, she’s truly a healer. Getting an adjustment from Giana is literally life altering. I once had knee pain for months and I made an appt with her, she worked on my knee and I walked out completely pain free. She’s also incredibly punctual and reliable. I can’t recommend her enough.

I’ve been seeing Dr. Anselmo for almost 4 years now. She is beyond wonderful, and has helped me work through a lot of low back issues. I love the extra work she does to loosen the soft tissue before her adjustment. If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, professional, in-tune with your body kind of chiropractor, you’re going to love her. Her dog is a special kind of bonus to my treatments, and I always leave feeling so aligned and lighter.
