I became a patient of Dr. Derek Farmen initially when my knee popped a couple of years ago and it hurt so much that it nearly took me to the floor. My knee became very swollen & the pain increased throughout the day. I was surprised that Dr. Farmen took x-rays of my spine instead of my knee, but I had made an appointment on a recommendation from a friend, Liz, who works in the physical therapy side of the Balanced Body Center. I knew little about chiropractic care, so I decided to just trust the process. I’m incredibly thankful that I did. The x-rays revealed that my neck was severely out of alignment (I could even see how crooked it was without having any medical training in the review of x-rays.).
I started having neck pain after a whiplash injury in 2000 & had just accepted that my neck would always hurt. I suffered for 19 years assuming nothing could be done. My husband even noted that I would turn my entire upper body to check my blind spot on the road due to the limited mobility of my neck.
Dr. Farmen rid me of the pain not only in my knee, but also my neck & lower back. He restored my neck mobility as well. I have moved away from Charlotte, sadly, but I still stop in for an adjustment whenever I’m in town. I always leave the office feeling like I’m walking on clouds.
If you’re experiencing discomfort in your neck, back, or even your knees, I highly recommend checking out the Balanced Body Center. They’ll treat you like family rather than a number & keep digging until they figure out how to help you.

Reviews
I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Arnone and The Balanced Body Center. I drive an hour each way to see him and honestly wouldn’t consider going anywhere else.
I’ve seen Dr. Arnone for both chiropractic care and functional medicine, and he has helped me tremendously over the years. I’m currently seeing him as part of my recovery following a concussion, along with receiving physical therapy at the office. I’m continually impressed by his knowledge, his ability to look at the whole picture, and how genuinely he cares about his patients.
The entire practice is excellent. The physical therapy team has been wonderful, the front office staff is always friendly… read full review
I have been to a lot of chiropractors and none of them treated me as much like a person as Dr. Foster and his team. He does such a great job of listening to his patients and not rushing them along. He gives his honest assessment about your health and did not try to push things on me that are not needed. Will definitely continue to see him.
