Emerson Chiropractic has been serving the Southside of Indianapolis, Greenwood, and surrounding communities for over 25 years. Our experienced Chiropractors: Dr. Christian Carter and Dr. Pete Yoder are dedicated to helping the community they are in and providing the care to improve your quality of life.

Every individual is different and the doctors will work with you to achieve any unique health and wellness goals that you may have. At your first visit, the doctors will go over your health history, perform an examination, and take x-rays to fully comprehend your case and provide the best care that is suited for you.
Services
We are equipped with a number of services, all designed to provide you, the patient, the best care possible. In addition to Chiropractic Care; we offer massage therapy, spinal decompression, intersegmental traction, and acupuncture. Chiropractic is a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that primarily focuses on conditions of the musculoskeletal system, nervous system, and overall general health and function of the body and spine.
This practice was founded back in 1995, originally under the name of Cerefin Family Chiropractic. Dr. Michael Cerefin opened the clinic after graduating from Life Chiropractic College. Dr. Mike's athletic career and interest in the health care field eventually led him to the Chiropractic Profession.
He is originally from Chesterfield, MO, a suburb of St. Louis. During his time at Logan College of Chiropractic, he obtained his Certification in Acupuncture and a Masters in Nutrition. Dr. Christian's interest in the Chiropractic and healthcare field came from several of his high school coaches, who were Doctors of Chiropractic.
Yes, Chiropractic is safe when treatment is provided by a trained and licensed Doctor! It is widely recognized as one of the safest, drug-free, and non-invasive treatments for complaints of the musculoskeletal system. We take x-rays so that we can fully evaluate your spine and determine any underlying conditions, issues, or complications that could be causing your complaint.
This is probably the biggest question that many may have. Our goal is that with the sale of the practice, that it does not affect you. Dr. Mike underwent a transition period at the end of 2019 with Dr. Christian and Dr. Pete. Many of you already know Dr. Christian, as he has been in the practice with Dr. Mike since 2018.

They have been a life saver! They helped me manage severe headaches while working from home during COVID and are currently helping me manage my round ligament pain with my 2nd pregnancy. They are friendly, take the time to evaluate you and explain their treatment recommendations. Lastly they are understanding of scheduled changes and have day of openings when I have a headache flare up! I highly recommend them!

I absolutely love coming here! They always get me in and out and I swear this is my favorite self care ritual! I would be miserable without Emerson Chiropractic. I’m currently pregnant and the tossing and turning in my sleep has given me even more neck and back problems then I already had. I can usually get in same or next day and they’re always so attentive to my pain. Highly highly highly recommend!
