What is Laser Therapy? Laser Therapy, or "photobiomodulation", is the use of specific wavelengths of light (red and near-infrared) to create therapeutic effects. These effects include improved healing time, pain reduction, increased circulation and decreased swelling. Laser Therapy has been widely utilized in Europe by physical therapists, nurses and doctors as far back as the 1970's.

I have heard about this place for a longtime having a good name around town so decided i would give them a try and go and be seen for my neck and back pain. Heather was amazing very thorough and listened to all i had to say and made me feel right at home as soon as she walked through the door i was a lil nervous considering i dont do dr's lol but would definitely recommend this place and her staff are all wonderful too very kind! I felt like a new person walking out of there.

I'm writing this review to recommend the CellCore detox kits through the McCarter Wellness Center. After having lived in an old home with mold in the walls and ceiling, I started to have several different health issues. Heather recommended trying the foundation kit and the mold remediation kit to detox my body. Almost immediately after starting the foundation kit, I started to clean out all kinds of gross toxic stuff that had been storing up in my intestines for years.
Since taking both kits, I have more energy and no longer have many of the digestive issues I used to have. I also have more energy and no longer have many of the sinus and allergy issues I used to have. I would highly recommend these CellCore kits to anyone who has had prolonged contact with mold or wants to clean out their system!

Chiropractic care. We love this place. Friendly and helpful staff who are willing to go over and beyond to help you with any problems or questions you may have. Dr. Heather McCarter has been nothing short of kind, patient, and helpful to me and my back issues. They have a store inside which offers. CBD products, Doterra, and other natural vitamins and supplements. I highly recommend Mccarter Health Center.

This place is great from the welcoming staff to Dr. Heather, who, in my opinion is a miracle worker! They will get you in quickly when you are in need and their affordable adjustments fit my budget. I'll probably never leave the area because this is hands down the best chiropractic care that I have ever received.

I've also recently started seeing Dr. Darrin Marsh (Physical Therapy) and will soon be seeing Dr. Heather McCarter (Chiropractor) at McCarter Health Center, Inc. They have me doing PT and they put me on a anti-inflammatory diet which I want to speed the results of by purging the junk in my system and making room for all the good. I already drink over a gallon of water a day, but it's not enough.
That's why I'm looking for recommendations for good purging foods. Now, to rave about the good doctors. First of all, I never like doctors and I NEVER post recommendations for them. However, Darrin has accomplished more for me in 3 visits than any other doctor I've seen in 20+ yrs. I was in so much pain last week I could barely work and he had me back up and running the first visit. BRAVO!
While I'm a long way from being back to where I could be, my pain is already quite a bit less. Their approach is holistic and focuses on lifestyle and dietary changes rather than chemical band-aides. This definitely jives with my beliefs. #junkinjunkout So, my lifestyle of fasting fits right in and they're NOT trying to shove pills or products down my throat. Again, I NEVER give a doctor a review, recommendation or even a not.
Most are pill pushers, IMHO, but not the good doctors at McCarter Health Center, Inc. They have blended modern and traditional homeopathic medicine in a VERY effective, understandable, and relaxing way. Hats off to you all! Damn fine job!
