Carissa Barnes is a Doctor of Chiropractic at Radiant Life Chiropractic in the Longfellow neighborhood of Minneapolis.  Carissa grew up in Isanti, a small town north of the Twin Cities.

Dr. Barnes attended the University of Minnesota and went on to receive her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Northwestern Health Sciences University in Minnesota.

Dr. Barnes is passionate about helping people achieve optimal health and restoration of life through regular chiropractic care.  Her clinic model is very unique and offers a variety of investment options, including a chiropractic membership program where patients pay one monthly rate for weekly adjustments. She is also trained in a technique called nutrition response testing, which uses key reflex points on the body to determine what the barrier to healing is and how to remedy this barrier in order to restore balance and health.   She has vast knowledge about essential oils and how to incorporate them into you and your family’s daily life for health and cleansing.  Dr. Barnes is also passionate about replacing toxic products with safer, natural options.

Dr. Barnes enjoys educating her patients on all components of health and guiding them along their journey to optimal health and wellness.  Her unique approach to wellness includes helping people achieve a balanced mind, body, and spirit ultimately leading to longevity.
