Help For Your Pain
Dr. Ladd Carlston combines the best elements of physical therapy, massage, and chiropractic to create a unique approach that provides relief where other treatments have failed.
“After years of refining my techniques, I’ve developed methods that work for patients who have tried everything else—muscle relaxers, physical therapy, even other chiropractors.
If you’re still looking for real, lasting relief, my approach may be just what you need.”
About
My Story
Before earning my Doctorate in Chiropractic, I was deeply frustrated seeing so many people stuck in chronic pain, often after months of physical therapy or repeated cortisone shots with no real relief. Determined to find a better answer, I spent years exploring a wide range of healing practices.
I traveled through China, learning from skilled Chinese healers, and studied anatomy, physiology, and biochemistry intensively during my doctoral training.
Along the way, I took courses from doctors across the country and compared treatment approaches with colleagues. These experiences shaped my unique, integrative approach, which is focused on delivering real, lasting relief for my patients
“Pain that’s not going away is usually the result of a muscle that’s been overworking or compensating for something.”
