Through specific chiropractic care and lifestyle education, we've been able to help thousands of individuals discover their true potential and finally understand what it takes to truly be healthy.

Dr. Kim Scarlassara, D.C.

Chiropractic Physician

I grew up in Crystal Falls, Michigan, where I graduated from Forest Park and later attended Central Michigan University for my Bachelor of Science degree. I later obtained my Doctorate of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic in Davenport, IA. I am an active member of the Michigan Chiropractic Association, the American Chiropractic Association and the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association. In my free time, I enjoy spending time at our home, hiking in the woods and playing on the lake, as well as remaining active with community events. My husband, Dr. Tony, and I, share 2 amazing children, Gabe who is in college at UWEC and Maddie who is attending Palmer College of Chiropractic in Iowa. However, serving the health care needs of our community remains a top priority. I am pleased to be part of a great team of people helping the community to be healthier and happier.

Chiropractic Assistant

I grew up in Negaunee, Michigan where I graduated from Negaunee High School and continued to live in Marquette County, where I met my husband and had two wonderful children. We then moved our family to Iron River in 2021. In my free time I enjoy fishing, hunting, biking, adventuring and playing disc golf with my husband and children. While being an on and off stay at home mom and working in various parts of the health field it showed me I have a strong passion for helping others and being a positive figure in each life I come in contact with and I am so excited to share that passion while being part of the team at Northwoods Family Chiropractic!
