Treatment

Treatment is interactive, so you can express concerns about the different styles of treatment anytime. Dr. Carofilis is highly trained in techniques ranging from ultra gentle to traditional manual adjusting.
Wellness Program
Prior to leaving, the doctor will suggest a wellness program to incorporate outside of treatment. If you are in pain when you first come to our office, this may include: ice or heat application instructions, certain activities or positions to avoid and at-home exercises and/or stretches. Every person is unique; therefore, everyone requires a customized wellness plan.
