“My passion for chiropractic started when I was 11 years old. My parents took me to get treated by a chiropractor in Boerne Texas after I was diagnosed with growing pains. I’ve always been active in sports and having routine adjustments decreased my pain and I was able to enjoy playing with the other kids. That year I decided I would be a chiropractor so I could help other people enjoy a painless or pain free life.” In her free time, Leesha Kaiser D.C. likes to sew quilts and play Pickleball. After 10 years of chiropractic experience, she now calls Birmingham and Hug Chiropractic Clinic home.
