Services
Chiropractic
Our core chiropractic care addresses root causes of musculoskeletal pain and dysfunction for patients of all ages. We use gentle, evidence-based adjustments to improve spinal alignment, reduce nerve irritation, and support whole-body function. Patients receive relief from back pain, neck pain, headaches, and other common musculoskeletal issues while working toward long-term wellness goals.
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment designed to stimulate healing in damaged soft tissue and reduce chronic pain. It is ideal for patients suffering from sports injuries, tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, and other persistent musculoskeletal conditions. This therapy promotes increased blood flow to affected areas, accelerating tissue repair and reducing pain without the need for medication or surgery.
Spinal Decompression
Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, non-surgical treatment designed to relieve pressure on spinal discs and nerves. It is recommended for patients with herniated discs, sciatica, degenerative disc disease, and other spinal conditions causing chronic pain. The treatment works by gently stretching the spine, creating negative pressure that draws bulging or herniated disc material back into place.
Massage Therapy
Our therapeutic massage services are tailored to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and support recovery from injury or chronic pain. We offer targeted massage techniques for patients dealing with sports injuries, auto accident injuries, and general musculoskeletal discomfort. Each session is customized to your specific needs, promoting relaxation, reducing stress, and enhancing overall physical function.
Physiotherapy
Our physiotherapy services focus on restoring mobility, strength, and function for patients recovering from injury, surgery, or chronic musculoskeletal conditions. We develop customized exercise and rehabilitation plans tailored to each patient's unique recovery goals and physical capabilities. These evidence-based interventions help patients reduce pain, prevent re-injury, and return to their normal daily activities as quickly as possible.

Dr Carle & his staff are awesome friendly & kind. Dr Carle leaves me walking out the door feeling like a million bucks! His adjustments really help the creak in my neck which comes & goes now & then. I have bad knees, he stretches & bends my legs in a way that gives me relief when walking. I love Dr Carle, he's the Best! I recommend him 100%!

I called about 12+ different offices to see one accepted my insurance. Finally, I came across Carle Chiropractic and thank HEAVENS they take it! The availability for new patients was amazing. They could've gotten Me in that day, but I couldn't. I went to my first appointment, and I could tell just by sitting in the waiting room that I was in the right place. The women at the front desk are super sweet, and easy to talk to.
I knew I was in the right place by watching how they treat their other patients. The patients come in like they're at home and laugh, and joke with the staff. They showed Me an introductory video about Dr. Ken Carle, and once it was finished my initial sit down with Doc started. He was very kind, educated, and easy to talk to, and You can tell he cares about His clients. The visit was about an hour long, and Dr. Carle adjusted my back and neck, and informed Me of the results of my Xrays. I can't wait to get my body fixed! I highly recommend this office, and I've only had ONE appointment. That should say something.

I've been a practicing attorney for over 30 years and have worked with Dr. Carle's office in the past. He and his office are efficient, professional and treat their patients with great care. The results are amazing as witnessed from hearing numerous patients say how Dr. Carle has helped them. I highly recommend Dr. Carle to others. Attorney Dan Moody

Dr Carle is like your family friend that you go see. He wants to get you back to normal, weening you off and adjust only as needed. I love this because he doesn't want to keep you, he wants you to get better and stay that way. Vicki is the sweetest and will help you with all insurance needs, as well as Shelly. Crystal and Brenda are angels and make you feel like home. Massages are offered at the clinic as well; highly recommend!

I get regular adjustments and it keeps me in great shape. I just had my 86th birthday and I went kayaking with my children, and had a blast. If it wasn't for chiropractic I know I wouldn't be as active or as healthy. Also I am not on any meds. Chiropractic ads years to your life, and life to your years.
