The Activator is the most widely used chiropractic instrument. Studies show improvement with the Activator Method. It also has been compared to other techniques and proven to be just as effective. This means that for many patients an Activator adjustment could very well lead to the same outcome as a manual adjustment.
Dr. Carter was born in Detroit, Michigan to loving parents who valued family and hard work. He was raised on the East side of Detroit by his mother and a father who worked in the automotive industry. At fourteen, Dr. Carter made his money shoveling the snow on the neighboring driveways of his house.
Prepare for your appointment by gathering any information or documentation you feel would be of value to Dr. Carter. This can include lab or blood work, lists of vitamins, supplements, or medications, MRI or x-ray imagery, or any other paperwork that you feel is important. Wear comfortable, loose clothing that you are prepared to potentially change out of.
The world of physical medicine in healthcare is vast. The options of who to see for what condition and what approach to take can be confusing. In this world of physical medicine we have Chiropractic, Physical Therapy, Physiotherapy, Massage Therapy, Orthopedics, Neurology and Osteopathy. How do you decide?

My family has been seeing Dr Carter for our healthcare for over two years now. He’s been treating me, my daughter and my husband. He and his staff are great and very knowledgeable about not just chiropractic adjustment (which has been so helpful!) but also nutrition, mental health, and ways to live healthier. I am very thankful we found Dr. Carter!

I have been seeing Dr. Carter for a few years now and my experience with him has been amazing. He really can fix anything! I always recommend Dr. Carter to anyone I know who has unexplained issues or pain. He is also such a kind, genuine person who truly wants to help make a difference. I would 10/10 recommend him! He is the best!

Dr. Carter is absolutely the BEST! I’ve been a patient of his now for two years. I’ve been treated by a few other chiropractors before being referred to Dr. Carter and I can say with confidence that he is by far the most thorough. I’ve never felt rushed during a visit and he takes the time to explain the treatment he is providing. He is compassionate and kind and truly cares about his patients. He has taken the time to get to know me as a person and our interactions are always so pleasant. Thank you for all you do, Dr. C!!!

I was a three sport athlete at Ravenscroft highschool, graduating in 2013. Since then, I did power lifting and crossfit at ECU; my shoulder joints became completely locked/ frozen. I couldn’t lift my arm straight up over my head and my spin was stiff as a floor board. After a few treatments I am literally living a different lifestyle; I’m walking different, I feel amazing, and I am able to lift/ workout with out discomfort. Dr. Carter is a blessing to man, I am no longer taking Advil daily for something Dr. Carter was able to provide relief for in good confidence. The environment is extremely

Many chiropractors are just--chiropractors, but then there are others who go beyond that. They are human beings who truly care about the welfare and improvement of their patients, and so they go the extra mile to help each patient recover the health s/he had lost. This is the kind of chiropractor that Dr. Carter is. He is knowledgeable and effective, and a professional who you can trust without a doubt. I highly recommend him. He has greatly helped me with my shoulder injuries, and thanks to him, my joints are on the way to recovery.

Dr. Carter and his staff are awesome! Friendly, on-time, and thorough. Dr. Carter has solved some issues that I've had for years! He takes the time to make your adjustment just for you, just for that day. He is very knowledgeable and responsive. Today, he diagnosed and treated my ankle based on a comment I made. Amazing.

Dr. Carter and the staff at HeathSource are the best! Dr. Carter is attentive to my concerns and then is like a detective investigating the source of my pain or weakness. He is not like other chiropractors that seem to schedule endless numbers of unnecessary appointments. He corrects the issue and then schedules a maintenance plan that will prevent further problems. I highly recommend Dr. Carter for your chiropractic and total-body wellness needs!

I've been coming here now for about 4 months. I came with neck and back problems stemming from a car wreck more than 20 years ago.
Dr. Carter is more holistic than most "quick crunch" chiropractors. I do tend to need a more aggressive adjustment to find relief, and I've found Dr. Carter adjusts me easily and comfortably. There are times when he's very gentle yet I still find relief - Dr. Carter seems to find the right strength for the right occasion.
In addition, I came in overweight, and saw that this clinic looks at diet as well. Dr. Carter got me on supplements every

I visited Dr. Carter and his team at the recommendation of another patient who turned me on to the Ideal Protein program. I wanted to lose a few pounds, the healthy way, and she seemed to have great success. I was extremely pleased at the support their office offered, and each week during my scheduled visit, they were right there to offer advice on which foods would help, which to use when, and overall program ideas. Overall I lost about 20 lbs and even loved the food along the way.
I totally understand that not everyone's body reacts the same to every weight management place so I am

Dr. Carter and his team are the very best! I have been in a car accident and unsure of the damage that might have been done . I went in and had an evaluation. My treatment was very successfully. His expertise saved me lots of pain and lots of misery. The practice's Wellness approach to most everything has also saved me money in terms of supplements instead of very expensive prescriptions. Can't recommend him and his expertise enough.

I was very disappointed with the management of the Ideal Protein Diet at this center. Because of my determination I was successful in the one month I was there.
The problems, a scale that works intermittently, overcharging compared to other centers, insufficient protein stock to choose from, and insufficient allowable amounts weekly added to the stress of being on the diet. It's a new set up. The one technician who specialized in Ideal Protein clients was new to the program herself. Are they ready for patients yet?
I recommend doing an internet and phone call interview before starting
