Aloha, I’m Dr. Rebecca Frausto, DC (formerly Dr. Hogan). I am passionate about the human body, how it functions or dysfunctions, and educating patients on getting their bodies to work for them. I believe in treating the body as one unit; everything is connected somehow and figuring out what your body specifically needs is my purpose. My goal is inspire people to move more frequently while building body awareness and managing pain or getting to a pain free state. Our bodies do so much to keep us alive and well, why not allow your body to function at its most efficient and optimal level?
I was introduced to chiropractic care as a teenager. Growing up playing several sports I experienced injuries frequently. At 16 years old, I hurt my shoulder playing softball and was unable to throw without feeling like the muscles in my arm were being ripped from the bone. After months of physical therapy and learning shoulder specific exercises I was still unable to throw without that ripping sensation.
I was then referred to a chiropractor. He worked on my shoulder but also the related regions of my back, neck, and down into my forearm and hand. He treated the deeper soft tissue structures, paired it with spinal adjustments, and changed the mechanics of how I was throwing to return me to sport and throwing pain free after only a few treatments. This chiropractor became my family’s ‘one stop shop’ for all our musculoskeletal injuries. He treated every person in my family with whatever problem they experienced: back pain, torn hamstrings, sprained ankles, headaches, sinus issues, and anything else we could come up with.
This really inspired me to be able to do the same. I want to be able to help any individual move easier and be more comfortable in their body.
