Carlson Chiropractic

This review is long overdue and it’s going to be thorough so please take the time to read it in its entirety. Almost a year ago, a few months prior to giving birth to my son, I was in desperate need of relief from lower back pain. It was debilitating. We found Dr. Carlson through the Kaiser database of approved providers and my husband made us both an appointment about two months out since he was booked solid. My husband is a veteran with back pain as well and has been trying to convince me for years to see a chiropractor.

This review is long overdue and it's going to be thorough so please take the time to read it in its entirety. Almost a year ago, a few months prior to giving birth to my son, I was in desperate need of relief from lower back pain. It was debilitating. We found Dr. Carlson through the Kaiser database of approved providers and my husband made us both an appointment about two months out since he was booked solid. My husband is a veteran with back pain as well and has been trying to convince me for years to see a chiropractor. Since I was in need of immediate relief we made a few appointments with another local chiropractor (who shall not be named) who was able to get us in right away (reflecting on this now, I believe his open availability was likely a sign of the lack of care to come). I didn't know any better at the time as this was my first experience so I excitedly attended my first appointment hoping for the best. I got to my appointment and there was no intake process really. I was told I couldn't do X-rays due to my pregnancy and to just tell him what hurt. Each of the times I went, my appointment lasted about 10 minutes and the same ineffective adjustment was done each time. I was left with no change to my quality of life. THEN..my appointment with Dr. Carlson came. I was praying things would be different with a new provider and boy was it. My initial appointment took slightly over an hour. Another gentleman, Dennis, evaluated me from head to toe. This evaluation itself took longer than all my appointments combined at the other place. Great! I could tell I was in good hands. I really appreciated the level of care and attention to detail with my concerns. Dr. Carlson did my adjustment after my evaluation and made it a point to get me on his busy schedule since I was pregnant and really needed his help. What a God send. I remember walking to my car after my appointment actually walking upright with no pain instead of my typical strained pregnant lady waddle. I felt relief for the first time in months and I actually cried tears of joy. I called my husband immediately and told him not to waste any more of our Kaiser approved chiro visits on the other place and told him he wouldn't regret waiting for his appointment with Dr. Carlson. He didn't. We have been doing regular follow-up visits since and my baby is now scheduled for his first adjustment next month. He will be 9 months old. Theres no one I'd trust more with his developmental care. Dr. Carlson has a "whole-istic" approach to wellness, as I call it, which looks at the whole individual on a physiological level. He suggests dietary supplements which complement chiropractic treatment and help the body heal itself. We have taken his recommended supplements and have noticed drastic changes to our well being and health overall. He really is a wealth of knowledge and we eagerly anticipate each follow-up appointment. Everyone who works there is extremely kind from the moment you walk in the door. In short, if you are unable to get an appointment right away it's for a reason. He's that good. And definitely worth the wait. You won't regret it. I truly hope you experience the level of relief we have.

I've been seen by Dr Carlson for adjustments just twice, but I can say he is the only chiropractor I'll ever need. Also, I'm doing the nutritional program just under two weeks and see a huge change for the better.I was having acute pain twinges in my L4 region starting in November (I have never, ever had back pain, historically!). Dr Blue (Dennis) FIXED me in two sessions of OPT! (ask about it when you go!). I went from, "OMG! I'll never survive like this!" to life is good in two weeks.Cheers!
