Cara Bradford B.S., D.C is a second-generation Chiropractor. She grew up in her father’s office in Lansing, Michigan and fell in love with the profession long before pursuing a degree in it. She graduated from Life in June of 2012 and was excited to return to her hometown to practice. In 2015 she and her husband, Dr. Blake Bradford, made the decision to move their family back down to Marietta, GA where their story began. Dr. Cara Bradford practiced locally for a few more years before coming back to her alma mater to teach. Dr. Bradford held a position in the Division of Chiropractic Sciences. She lecturer for the Medical Terminology course, and genuinely enjoyed the many technique labs she was involved in. Seeing that “light bulb” moment in a student fueled her fire for teaching. In July of 2021, Dr. Bradford made the move to the Clinic side of the University. She is passionate about receiving feedback from students and putting plans into action. While teaching was a true passion in her life, she was hopeful she could have an even greater impact in an administrative role. So, in 2022 she accepted a position as the Director of Clinical Education. In this role, Dr. Bradford has a new fire ignited within. It is the fire and passion for advancement of this incredible institution and this remarkable profession that she holds so dear.

When Dr. Bradford is not on campus, she is with her family! She and Dr. Blake Bradford have three incredible children who keep them busy with baseball and softball games. But if they are not at the Baseball Diamond, you can find them at the Rugby pitch cheering on Dad as he coaches one of his three spectacular teams!
