Chiropractic
care is conservative treatment of health problems without the use
of drugs or surgery. We tend to use more natural and less
invasive forms of treatment. Our staff actively restores individuals
to a healthy, active lifestyle utilizing advanced and traditional
methods which are
gentle,
painless, and effective. Our goal is to quickly rehabilitate
individuals from painful and debilitating conditions. As
a Chiropractic Orthopedist, Dr. Caraotta has been trained in various
techniques including the Activator Technique, Diversified, Cox
and Gonstead methods. Chiropractic Care
in our office is often combined with Physical Therapy, Exercise Rehabilitation
and Non-Surgical Orthopedic Care. Below you will find some

We work
with a variety of medical specialists in the community when necessary
to give the patient the best combination of care. Chiropractic is best
noted for restoring mobility in the spine and taking pressure off the
nervous system. Since all the nerves in our body are connected to the
brain and spinal cord, if an individual has less than optimum mobility
in a spinal segment, this can put pressure on the nervous system, cause
pain and create a variety of health problems.
Since Dr.
Caraotta is a Chiropractor and an Orthopedist, he not
only
treats spinal conditions, but conditions involving every muscle,
bone and joint throughout the body. Our office prides ourselves
in accepting and rehabilitating difficult cases and preventing individuals
from having unnecessary surgical intervention by providing non-surgical
solutions for spinal and joint related conditions. If surgery is necessary,
however, we advise patients promptly and refer them to the most qualified
specialists in our community.
Additionally, we not only council patients in vitamin
supplementation, but also encourage healthy eating habits to obtain
optimum nutrition.
