ABOUT CARLSON CHIROPRACTIC

OUR MISSION

Since 2003, Carlson Chiropractic has worked with a hands on approach to health care. We’re committed to helping our patients live a healthy life. Each of our doctors bring their advanced experience and knowledge to the practice, providing patients with the tools and education for optimum health and wellness. We realize that every patient has different health and wellness needs. That’s why we customize a program specifically targeted to each individual as they walk through our state-of-the-art facility. Whether your body needs spinal decompression, gentle manual adjustments or even a customized nutrition plan, our team will work with you so you can “live your life naturally.”

Chiropractic care and maintenance uses the basic principle of putting the patient first, since we don’t prescribe drugs to relieve symptoms but rather work with patient’s body through manual adjustments, muscle stimulation and nutrition. In other words, health has more to do with making sure the body is functioning properly rather than making sure the patient feels good for a short period of time. If the body is working the way it should, then the patient should feel great—period.
