Services
Activator Method
The Activator Method delivers precise, low-force adjustments using a handheld instrument. This technique safely corrects spinal misalignments without twisting or popping, making it ideal for patients with arthritis, osteoporosis, or pregnancy-related discomfort. Our doctor's advanced certification ensures expert application of this evidence-based approach.
Laser Therapy
Low-level laser therapy reduces inflammation and promotes tissue healing through non-thermal light energy. FDA-cleared for pain management, this drug-free treatment accelerates recovery from injuries, arthritis, and nerve conditions. Most patients experience noticeable improvement after just one session, with no heat or discomfort during treatment.
Wellness Care
Our wellness programs focus on maintaining optimal health through regular chiropractic maintenance. By addressing minor issues before they become crises, we help patients avoid pain, disability, and excessive medical costs. This proactive approach includes lifestyle recommendations for exercise, nutrition, and spinal health.
Chiropractic Adjustments
Customized chiropractic adjustments restore proper spinal alignment and nervous system function. We combine traditional expertise with modern techniques to address musculoskeletal conditions affecting the back, neck, and extremities. Treatment plans emphasize long-term wellness rather than temporary symptom relief.
New Patients
New patient visits include comprehensive assessment of spinal health and pain history. We develop personalized treatment strategies using diagnostic tools like leg length analysis and neurological testing. This thorough onboarding process ensures accurate diagnosis and effective care planning for first-time chiropractic patients.

Do not hesitate to call Dr. Carraway to schedule a consult and treatment. His breadth of knowledge is as impressive as his skill as a practitioner. He generously shares his knowledge and collaborates with other medical practitioners (human and veterinary) to improve patient care. He has developed innovative treatments have helped many people, and animals, become pain free. Dr. Carraway is easy to talk too and is now my go to. I am very grateful to him for his help on numerous occasions. If I were not located so distantly from him, I would be enrolled in his wellness program.
