Dr. Ayesha Qureshi, DC

image From the time I was 5 years old, I had a strong drive to become a doctor and help people get well. In 1997, I started training in a traditional Okinawan form of karate, and it was during this time I realized that the body is designed to heal itself; it just needs a little help sometimes. Too often, I felt, the medical system became more about treatments and less about the person. This new perspective of health truly left me empowered as I realized that my health was in my hands.

I attended Kenyon College in Gambier, OH where I majored in History with a concentration in Islamic History while completing my requirements for chiropractic school. After graduating from Kenyon, I attended Life Chiropractic College West in Hayward, California. While at Life West, I learned traditional methods of full spine adjusting as well as techniques to help people with soft tissue injuries. This interest in soft tissue techniques came about after I injured my shoulder in my martial arts training.

In June 2006, I was fortunate enough to go to El Salvador for a week with a group of chiropractors to help the people of El Salvador. A small group of us stayed in San Vicente for a week and were able to help many people who did not have access to chiropractic care. As a result of this trip, thousands of people were adjusted throughout El Salvador for the first time in their lives.

I practiced outside of Atlanta, Georgia for 2 years before returning to the Metro Detroit area. Since coming back to Detroit, I trained in Koei-Kan Karate Do, and my husband and I rowed with the Ecorse Rowing Club and train at CrossFit Reviver in Rochester Hills. From June 2009 to June 2010, I volunteered for HAVEN, an organization that supports survivors of domestic violence and sexual assault in Oakland County.

In 2012 and 2013, BodyWorks was voted as the Best of the Best Chiropractor in the Daily Tribune. I am very grateful to receive this honor 2 years in a row!
