New patients meet with Dr. Thomas Carpenter for a thorough examination to determine if their condition will respond to chiropractic care. This exam consists of numerous, non-intrusive tests as well as x-rays (if necessary) to determine the presence of subluxations (spinal misalignments causing nervous system interference) and/or structural deformities requiring correction.

When it is determined that chiropractic care is necessary our patients are placed on Individualized Treatment Programs.

Our office uses a full compliment of services to treat a patient’s condition and the underlying mechanical dysfunction of the joints, and their effects on the nervous system. When restricted movement is experienced Dr. Carpenter adjusts joints and the spine to improve mobility and relieve pain by restoring normal function to the patient's spine and body.

Individualized Treatment Programs can also include services such as muscle stimulation, massage, trigger point therapy and ultrasound as well as information about exercise and rehabilitation, creating a healthier lifestyle, workplace changes, and increasing the overall quality of your health.
