Painful Migraines

I began chiropractic care because I was experiencing painful migraines for the past couple of years. When they strike, I have a difficult time performing certain tasks and have a general lack of concentration.

I have been taking various medications to help alleviate the pain – Klonopin, migraine specific pain medications and over-the-counter pain killers, but these didn’t give me the results I was looking for.

Since beginning my chiropractic care, I have better concentration and clearer thinking in addition to relief from pain. Other unexpected benefits are I no longer have a dull feeling in my head and I am feeling less tense.

Being able to think more clearly and better concentrate has greatly improved my quality of life.

I like Dr. Carr’s holistic approach to health care and I enjoy the adjusting instrument that Dr. Carr uses. My experience has been great and I would recommend Dr. Carr to others looking for a holistic approach to health care.

Zac Zaun

Trouble Sleeping

I began seeing Dr. Carr to help with back, hip and kidney problems.

I had been experiencing these problems since I was 10 years old. The effects of these problems included sleeplessness, low motivation, a general negative feeling that is unexplainable.

I didn’t seek medical help for these problems, I just lived with them.

Since beginning my treatment with Dr. Carr, I do notice minor changes in my symptoms. I have fewer headaches, but mainly I sleep better with less need for adjusting my position for comfort. I wake up feeling better rested!

I like the neck adjustments and greatly appreciate health tips from Dr. Carr as a means to take better care of myself.

Adam Proto

Low Back Pain

I began seeing Dr. Carr for constant mid/lower back pain when a friend referred him to me.

I had the pain for over 8 years. On my worst days I had extreme back pain while both sitting and standing. I experienced limited flexibility and had horrible mood swings.

The physical therapy I was prescribed only helped with the major daily pain, not the flexibility or mood swings.

Since beginning my treatment I have increased flexibility – I can look down without acute pain! Positive outcomes that I wasn’t expecting include better stamina with longer and more effective workouts. My muscles seem stronger and my Frisbee Golf game has greatly improved!

I really like the different approach to health care – looking at the wellness side of treatment and understanding the long term look of care.

I would highly recommend Dr. Carr’s approach to wellness care!

Chiropractic/Kinesiology has given me my life back!

I began my chiropractic care to help find a solution to long standing discomfort and to find answers about the way my body feels from day to day.

My discomfort was quite painful at times, affecting my energy level and stamina. Some days my discomfort made it difficult to do my job.

I did and continue to do yoga to help alleviate the pain. In the past, I would get massages to temporarily ease the discomfort and stress I was feeling.

Since beginning my chiropractic care with Dr. Carr I have energy! energy! energy! I feel as though my ability to work, live and relax has been greatly enhanced. I feel less overall disease in my body and my general alertness has improved.

I am amazed at the new ability my body has at fending off other ailments. My systems seem to be functioning at a higher level all around!

I really like Dr. Carr’s use of kinesiology.

Shoulder Pain

I started seeing Dr. Carr for help with arm numbness, shoulder/back stiffness and limited range of motion in my shoulders. I had been getting massage therapy, but was not experiencing satisfying results.

Since beginning my treatment with Dr. Carr, I have noticed improvement with my shoulders, neck and jaw. In general I feel less stiff, and have more energy, better immune function and clearer thinking, which adds to my quality of life.

I enjoy Dr. Carr’s gentle approach without the fast and abrupt wrenching I had expected!

I like Dr. Carr’s Health Tip of the Week and other information he shares about keeping a healthy body.

Barb Bloy

Neck and Back Pain

I began seeing Dr. Carr because of neck and back problems. I had been having these for about 5 to 6 years.

I had chronic neck pain and would need to sleep a lot to deal with it. I had not had any treatment for this until I was referred to Dr. Carr.

Since beginning my chiropractic care, I feel quite a bit better, with a great lessening in my neck pain!

Unanticipated positive changes from the care in this clinic is that I have a lot more energy and feel better rested!

One thing I like and find different in Dr. Carr’s approach to helping me are the wonderful health tips that I have learned and am able to use as a proactive approach to my overall general health.

Cherena Martinez

Upper Back Pain

I began seeing Dr. Carr because I was experiencing a lot of pain in my shoulder and upper back, and had no energy. This had been going on for years. As a result, I couldn’t be as active as I would like to be and was limited in what I could do.

I had tried running, walking, and other chiropractic care, but none of these gave me the results I wanted.

After beginning care with Dr. Carr, I have been able to get more done in a day and concentrate better. I am also able to read more than I ever had.

Unexpected “side effects” of this care include the fact that I feel more energized and I am able to think more clearly.

One thing I really appreciate is Dr. Carr’s gentle approach that doesn’t shock my body - I would recommend him highly!

Cheryl Meyer

Chiropractic Eases Pain

I was in a car accident and was experiencing quite a bit of pain. I was using ice packs, heat and painkillers to help alleviate the pain, but was not getting the desired effect I was looking for.

Since beginning my treatment with Dr. Carr, I am experiencing less general soreness all over. Along with the ease in pain, I am feeling more confident, and don’t feel as though I will re-injure myself as often as I used to.

With less pain, I feel like I am more productive at work and I feel able to enjoy my leisure time.

I would recommend Dr. Carr’s approach. He is very informative and I find the adjustments to be gentle and not jarring.

Connor Walsh

Hand and Finger Numbness

My husband encouraged me to see Dr. Carr because he thought the numbness I was experiencing in my hands and fingers may be the beginning of carpel tunnel syndrome. In addition to the hand numbness, I was experiencing strong cramps in my right leg.

Since beginning my care with Dr. Carr, I no longer have my leg cramps and the numbness in my hands and fingers is much less. I am feeling more relaxed and have renewed energy for doing housework/chores.

In addition to more energy, my ears are no longer draining and my lifelong hearing problem has improved significantly.

I have also noticed that I can deal better with stress.

I am very pleased with how I am now feeling and how I can hear so much better then before.

I would definitely recommend Dr. Carr’s approach.

Elda Dahlgren

Leg and Knee Pain

I began seeing Dr. Carr because I had
leg and knee pain that was making it difficult for me to walk.

I had been suffering with the pain for at least a year.

During that time I saw medical doctors who prescribed creams to help alleviate the pain. I had also seen other chiropractors. I was not getting the results I was looking for. It finally got so bad that I had to do something – it was too painful to walk.

After seeing Dr. Carr I am beginning to feel more normal. The pain has improved, and I have more energy to do house work and take walks!

I like Dr. Carr’s approach of getting to the root of the problem, rather than just dealing with the symptom.

Eleanor Dahlgren

Chiropractic for Wellness

I began my chiropractic care to address basic wellness issues. I felt like I wasn’t as healthy as I could be. I was suffering from headaches, stomach issues, allergies and “brain fog”. I had been living with these health issues for about 8 years. At one point I had a headache for over 6 months! Most of my life was centered on getting rid of the headache.

Like a lot of people I used prescription pain medication to treat the headaches. I tried physical therapy and had and MRI. None of these gave me the answers or help that I was looking for.

Since beginning chiropractic treatment I have fewer headaches.

Unexpected “side effects” of the care here are that my allergies have lessened and I have a general sense of well being!

What I particularly like about the approach in this clinic is that it is non invasive and that Dr. Carr helps educate me about treating the whole body!

Ginna Grussing

Middle Back Pain

I had been dealing with non debilitating neck, knee and hip pain for a while, and although I had wanted to do something to feel better, the catalyst for me seeking help was acute middle back pain.

Since I began treatment with Dr. Carr, my neck pain is not as severe and I think I may not grind my teeth as much as I usually do. My thinking seems clearer and my mood seems to have improved.

Dr. Carr’s wellness approach makes a lot of sense to me and I really like the gentle approach.
