Chiropractic and Orthopedic Care

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.

Dr. Caraotta and Dr Bowman have been trained in various techniques including the Activator Technique, Diversified, Cox, Active Release Technique, Muscle Activation, Gua Sha, and Gonstead methods.

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 our Doctors are trained in Orthopedics they not only treat 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.
