ABOUT THE OFFICE

our unique alpha 5 phase system

What you want and/or NEED is probably not the same as your neighbor, co-worker or spouse.

Of course we can Adjust You! Sometimes we can even adjust Your Attitude ;)

But what makes us Special is that we craft a Personalized Action Plan, we call it The Alpha 5 Phase System. Each person goes through the same 5 phases, but what they do during each phase is different person to person.

We created The Alpha 5 Phase System was created to help patients who have really lost their health and fitness, build from the bottom up.

Not everyone is a candidate for The Alpha 5 Phase System. Some people just need Wellness Care to maintain where the health they already have. We offer that too.

Our goal is to help you to be the Healthy Active Person YOU WANT TO BE.

dr. carlson

Dr. Carlson has been a licensed Chiropractor in the State of Arizona since 1993.

Dr. Carlson and Chiropractors in general, receive a "D.C.", which stands for Doctor of Chiropractic. In addition Dr. Carlson also has a Physiotherapy license.

She and her staff love working with people who are motivated to better than they were yesterday.

Our goal is to help you with your back pain, sciatica, whiplash, or that perpetual headache, and then help you take your health to the next level up!

what helps you feel comfortable, usually helps you heal faster

We believe that comfort is key to your progress. We strive to make our office not only comfortable, but welcoming and convenient.

We have several different kinds of chiropractic tables for you to try, each table is a little bit different and allows you to find just the right "rest" space.

We also offer different types of physiotherapies to help you heal ASAP and Dr. Carlson uses several different adjustment techniques, in an effort to find the perfect blend for each visit to maximize effectiveness and speed of recovery.

All of this is to say, that we want to find the particular combination that works best for you.

our care is built on the life you want to live

We believe in helping all of our patients, no matter their age or ability level, to strive to be the best version of themselves.

Over 30+ (who is counting :) years in practice, I have hear MANY REASONS that people want to "get better".

For some our patients that is competing in or performing an athletic endeavor, like climbing a mountain with their adult daughter.

For others it is getting down on the floor to play with the grandkids and still being able to get back up off of the floor by themselves.

For others it is being able to skateboard.

For others it is being able to stand up and walk unassisted, no cane.

For others, it is being able to carry their disabled daughter and for others it is knowing that any day she could get a phone call to go pick up her father off of the floor.

Whatever your goals are, however lofty or unlofty they are, we want to help you build the nervous system and body that can attain them and more.
