I never planned to become a Chiropractor.. ..but then my body broke.
Hi I’m Dr. Cara Joseph (DC, MChiro, LRCC, MABCE)
Doctor of Chiropractic and Owner of The Backstory
My journey with pain wasn't clinical; It was personal
In 2014, I was working in Neuro-Oncology: long hours, always on my feet, or sat at my desk. One day out if nowhere, my back went.
No injury. No warning. Just collapse.
The pain was instant and overwhelming.
Standing was a struggle. Walking felt impossible.
I went from healthy to helpless in minutes, and no one could tell me why.
I remember lying on the floor wondering:
Is this permanent?
Will I need surgery?
Will I ever move properly again?
It was terrifying.
For the first time, I felt broken; like a stranger in my own body.
The scariest part? No answers.
Some said it could be a disc injury. Others suggested surgery.
Most said: “Wait and see.”
But waiting didn’t help.
Painkillers weren’t enough.
And I was still stuck.
Then I Found Chiropractic Care, and Everything Changed
It wasn’t just the pain that improved. It was how I stood. How I moved. How I felt. I finally felt like myself again — physically and emotionally.
What changed everything wasn’t just the treatment.
It was understanding that how your body is aligned affects everything:
How you feel. How you move. How you function.
That realisation didn’t just change my health, it changed my direction.
Because if I could help others feel what I finally felt — connected, capable, and pain-free, what could be more meaningful than that?
My Path to ABC
I retrained from scratch, earning my Master’s in Chiropractic and becoming a registered chiropractor.
But it was discovering Advanced Biostructural Correction™ (ABC) that changed everything.
ABC didn’t just treat pain — it explained it.
It showed me the why behind dysfunction, and how to fix it by working with the body’s structure, not just by chasing symptoms.
ABC changed my life.
Now, I use it to change others’.
Why I founded The Backstory
Not just to treat pain, but to change how people understand it.
For so long, I thought I was the problem. That pain was random. That I had to put up with it.
But pain has a pattern.
It has a cause.
And when you find that cause, everything can change.
The Backstory was created to give people the answers I couldn’t find.
To stop the cycle of guesswork.
To show what the body is capable of when it’s finally aligned, supported, and no longer fighting itself.
I know what it’s like to feel stuck.
I’ve been told, “You’ll just have to live with it.”
But the truth is — you don’t.
You deserve a body that works. That moves. That feels like home again.
That’s why The Backstory exists.
To help you to get just that.
Ready to get your life back?
You’ve read what’s possible.
Now it’s your turn to decide.
This isn’t about short-term relief — it’s about real correction and lasting change.
Let’s get to the root of the problem and get your body functioning again.
