Healing the whole human—body, mind, spirit, emotions, and nervous system.

At Carter Chiropractic & Wellness, functional medicine isn’t just about lab markers or symptom checklists.
It’s about understanding who you are, what your body has lived through, the patterns your nervous system holds, and the deeper stories behind your symptoms.

We believe real healing happens when the whole person is seen—not dissected into parts.

Our approach is integrative, intuitive, and deeply human.
We listen to your physiology and your lived experience.
We study your biology and honor your emotional and energetic landscape.
We address symptoms—but we treat the story beneath them.

This is whole-person functional medicine.

At Carter Chiropractic & Wellness, our Avant laser therapy uses advanced, non-invasive laser energy to stimulate deep tissue repair, reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support natural healing. This therapy can support a wide range of conditions — from musculoskeletal pain (neck, back, joints), soft tissue injuries (sprains, tendon/ligament damage), to chronic pain and recovery from surgery or strain. Because the treatment stimulates circulation, cellular repair, and reduces inflammation, many patients experience decreased pain, improved mobility, and faster recovery — often without the need for medications, steroids, or surgery.

How It Works (In-Clinic Experience):
Consultation & assessment: We evaluate your condition (pain level, injury history, contributing factors such as posture or overuse) to design a personalized laser plan.
Laser session: During the session, a trained clinician applies the Avant laser to the target area(s). The treatment is non-thermal and non-invasive — you may feel a gentle warmth or mild sensation, but no pain.
Session length & frequency: Typical sessions last about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size of the area treated and your individual needs. For many conditions, an initial treatment plan involves 6–12 sessions, often scheduled 2–3 times per week. Because effects are cumulative, patients often notice gradual improvement over the course of the program.
Post-treatment care: Since the procedure is gentle and non-invasive, there is no downtime required. Patients can resume normal activities right away. We may recommend supportive care (hydration, light movement, follow-up adjustments) to maximize healing.

Who Can Benefit:
Chronic or acute joint/muscle pain (back, neck, shoulders, knees, etc.)
Soft tissue injuries — tendonitis, sprains, strains
Post-surgical rehabilitation (with provider approval)
Sports injuries, overuse syndromes, repetitive-stress injuries
Anyone seeking a gentle, non-pharmacologic path to pain relief and tissue healing
