After how I woke up yesterday, I cannot believe that I'm pain-free today after seeing Dr. Carlson. They fit me in as a new patient within hours of calling and were very kind and compassionate. Dr Carlson took his time to explain what he was going to do and the techniques used worked, quickly and very well!

Here at Optimal Health Chiropractic and Physical Therapy, we believe every patient has their own unique injury and case presentation. First, we will start by taking a thorough history.
The main reason people seek help from a chiropractor, or any medical physician, is because they are sick or in pain - they want to Feel Better.

This is where we rely heavily on our Active Release Technique (ART), Graston, Adjustments, Stretching, and Rock Tape.

I heard about Optimal Health from a coworker in EHT… Dr. Rick is amazing and very knowledgeable - chiropractic, body mechanics, active release therapy, and the latest methods of treatment. He has helped me heal my chronic plantar fasciitis, which the podiatrist could not fix. After going to Dr. Rick for 6 weeks to address the acute pain, he referred me to Dr. Rachel Miller for physical therapy. Dr. Rachel is helping me address my structural weaknesses. I already feel stronger and more comfortable than I have in years…. Thanks to Dr. Rick and Dr. Rachel, I am on my way back to being pain free

Best chiro experience in a long time. Dr. Nick is the best! I am so glad I was referred to Optimal Health. It's not just an adjustment and out the door you go. The ART therapy is my life saver. Dr. Nick talks you through each move he's doing and explains how the muscles, tendons, and ligaments are all working together. I recommend them for everyone, especially those involved in sports and strength training.

I would not be where I am today physically and mentally with out Dr. Rick Carlson and the staff at Optimal Health. It’s been 4+years. I was in more pain than imaginable. Dr. Rick’s style of chiropractic service brings healing to your muscles and spine. His methods are those used on me when I needed help carrying my son 20 years ago. That is one reason I’m happy I found him and his staff. Rachel is the physical therapist who takes you to a stronger more fit person. They along with their staff have created a positive, pleasant and healthy environment for anyone to feel complete. I have recommended

I’ve been to Rick for chiropractic care both before and during pregnancy. He is amazing and was able to get me through all the sciatic nerve pain I was experiencing during pregnancy. Rachel is equally amazing!! I went to her after the birth of my third for pelvic floor therapy and can’t wait until after baby four is here to see her again and get back into shape.

I was referred to Dr Carlson by Rachel my phisical therapist who helped me with my recovery after my spinal fusion. I am so grateful for her and her referral. I have been to cyropractors for years but Dr Carlson is by far the best! He has used his grason technology to aliviate my corpal tunnel in my hands. Recently I couldn't move my neck with out… pain after sleeping wrong and after a few adjustments it's completely pain free. He doesn't just adjust you. He uses movement, presure, grason, and stretching. He has been a life savor with helping with my authritus. I will never go to another
