meet the doctor

Dr. Rebecca Carlson, DC

I want to be the best I can be: The best mom, the best wife, the best doctor/coach/cheerleader, in that order of priority. My children are pictured above :-)

I also want to be the best athlete I can be, the best role model, the best friend, the best leader, and the smartest version of myself (you get the idea).

The ONLY way I can be MY BEST, for any length of time, is to consistently take care of what I already have: my health, my physique, and my brain. It is not easy, and definitely not in the American culture of fast food, long hours, and instant gratification.

However, it is the choices that I make every day, for me, for my family, for my patients. Some days I do better than others – I like my pizza and red licorice too! But I try to make "better" decisions, MOST of the time.

Perfection is not possible, and moderation is a good option – you have to be able to LIVE!

There are several things that I think set us apart from other chiropractic offices in Tempe or anywhere for that matter:

For starters, your health, wellness, fitness and ability to have adventures is Important to us. That is one of the pillars that your Alpha 5 Phase System Care Plan is built on. That is also one of the reasons we have 2 New Patient options for you:

The Body Fix Assessment and a regular New Patient Day 1.

Another thing that sets us apart is our Lifestyle Vision: most of our patients have been with us for years - we have crafted a plan of care for them that suits their lives, their goals, their families and we work to keep them healthy for their Now and for their "later".

But life has a tendency to bombard you with stressors – trauma, microtrauma, toxins, allergens, preservatives, pesticides, and prescriptions,

as well as emotional, mental, and spiritual stress.

At. Every. Turn.

So your brain & nervous system, together functioning as your CPU (Central Processing Unit) are singularly responsible for processing ALL information and feedback and then directing Your Body in appropriate responses.

If your vertebrae, those bones in your spine are out of alignment, we call that a Subluxation. That’s the magic word and it can be both good and bad, depending on you and your life. Bad because your health is obstructed, good because we know there is an area we need to address.

You DO WANT your "subluxations", or misaligned vertebra corrected so that Your Body can perform at its best!

So adjustments are part of your care plan, but we want to help you in improving all areas of your lifestyle.

Nutrition? Supplements? Exercise? Yoga? We will talk About It ALL. Let's tailor your care for your spine, your whole body and your Complete Health!!! That is The Alpha 5 Phase System in a nutshell!
