Dr. Ladd Carlston

I was frustrated watching people stuck in chronic pain after months of physical therapy or repeated cortisone shots with no real relief.

That search took me to China to learn from traditional healers, through years of studying anatomy and physiology, and across the country comparing approaches with colleagues. What I found changed everything about how I practice.

Most chiropractors focus on the joint. I focus on the muscle. Using applied kinesiology,

I test your muscles to find exactly which ones are not firing properly.

Then I use gentle techniques like neuromuscular re-education, positional release, and muscle energy technique to reset the connection between your brain and body.

No popping, no cracking, no generic adjustments. Your pain is specific, and your treatment should be too.

Every session is at least 30 minutes and it is always just you and me. I do not hand patients off to assistants.

In your first visit, I do a thorough assessment to find the root cause. Most patients feel a noticeable difference after one session. I explain exactly what I am finding and what we are going to do about it as we go.

My techniques are gentle and precise. Most patients tell me it is the most comfortable chiropractic experience they have ever had.

If you have been avoiding chiropractors because of the twist-and-crack approach, you will be surprised by how different this is.

I treat neck pain, back pain, headaches, and shoulder pain most often, but I also see a lot of hip pain, knee pain, sciatica, and conditions that have not responded to other treatments. If a muscle is involved, and it almost always is, I can usually help.
