Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic Care is a system of health care involving adjustments to the spine and extremities with the purpose of alleviating neural dysfunction.
Chiropractors are more than back doctors, we are nervous system doctors. The nervous system controls every function of the body from the beating of your heart to the motion of your body. We maximize nervous flow through the adjustment.
The adjustment, when performed, involves a very quick move with very little force applied to dysfunctional joints that are causing related pain or nervous interference. Dr. Carey always tempers the adjustment to patient comfort and need.
Extremity Adjustments
Extremity adjustment realigns your extremity joints, including hips, knees, ribs, shoulders, elbows, wrists, hands, ankles, feet, etc.
When not in proper alignment, the tissue around the joints stretch, weakening the muscles nearby. Dr. Carey offers adjustments to realign these joints, restoring strength and function to the areas.

Physiotherapy
Improves circulation, relaxes muscles and releases the body’s natural pain blockers
Dr. Carey has great success with frozen shoulders which involves mostly physiotherapy modalities!
Dry Needling
Myofascial trigger points manifest as painful, tender points in soft tissue.
The procedure, Dry Needling, works not only as a treatment but also as a diagnostic tool. This procedure involves using a dry (no medication), prepackaged sterile very thin needle placed in specific tissues that may be associated with your complaints. The only common denominator this treatment has with acupuncture is the needle. Dry Needling treats muscle only. This treatment typically produces rapid improvement in the physiology of the muscle.
All care provided at our practice requires a thorough understanding of neurology, anatomy, physiology and chiropractic along with many years of clinical experience. We try to keep concepts simple when rendering care but please understand that it took years for Dr. Carey, Maria and Debbie to make this all look simple.

Red Light Therapy
Red Light is a physical therapy modality that works by providing a biochemical effect in the cells that strengthens mitochondria (powerhouse of the cell). This has the effect of decreasing swelling and pain over the area of application.
Ultrasound
Ultrasound is an attended physiotherapy modality that promotes tissue healing and pain relief. The procedure improves circulation by providing deep heat to muscles, joints, tendons and ligaments. It does so by turning electrical current into mechanical energy sound waves.
Electrical Stimulation
Dr. Carey likes to treat with Interferential and Russian Stimulation. These types of physical therapy modalities use safe electrical current to strengthen or relax muscles, improve circulation and block pain signals.
Hot/Cold Therapy
Hot moist paks are a type of physical therapy modality applied to injured areas of the body. In our office, 4-6 layers of towels are used between the hot pak to protect the skin from a burn. Moist heat brings circulation to the tissues and relaxation to the muscles. Cold Therapy or cryotherapy involves applying ice to injured areas of the body to reduce swelling and inflammation. Dr. Carey takes all aspects of your condition into consideration to determine which of these therapies is best for you.
