Our Services
Our Treatments & Care
Auto Accident Chiropractic
Low-speed accidents can cause injuries that surface later. Conditions such as whiplash, muscle strains, and spinal injuries often develop days after an accident. Early check-ups are essential because untreated injuries can lead to chronic pain and long-term mobility issues.
We offer complete post-accident chiropractic care, including the following:
● Spinal evaluations
● Soft tissue rehabilitation
● Personal injury documentation
● Insurance and attorney coordination
Chiropractic Adjustments
A dysfunctional spine can affect a patient’s overall health. Spine dysfunction can cause pain, stiffness, headaches, reduced mobility, and nerve irritation.
A detailed spinal examination with Dr. Caruso helps detect the exact areas that need to be adjusted. He is an expert in spinal alignment, which reduces pressure on the nerves, restores joint movement, and improves overall function.
Patients report noticeable improvement after just a few sessions, while long-term chiropractic care improves mobility and prevents future problems.
Weight loss/Functional Wellness
The functional wellness program at Caruso Family Chiropractic helps patients lose weight.
We provide realistic and sustainable strategies designed to help you achieve your goals.

Real Questions From Patients
Frequently Asked Questions
Here are common questions patients ask before starting care. These answers will help you know what to expect during your visits.
How long does a chiropractic adjustment take?
A chiropractic adjustment takes about 10 to 20 minutes. The initial visit, however, takes longer, as we take our time to discuss your health, pain, and movement to ensure that your initial adjustment is safe.
Do adjustments hurt, including the Y-Strap adjustment?
A chiropractic adjustment, including a y-strap adjustment, is comfortable. However, you will experience soreness after the chiropractic adjustment. This soreness is similar to the soreness you feel after a workout. However, the soreness goes away after a day.
How often should I visit a chiropractor?
It depends on your health, the amount of pain you are in, and your goals. Do you need short-term care? Do you need long-term care? Dr. Caruso will set up a schedule that is right for you.
Can chiropractic care help with long-term back or neck pain?
Yes, it can help with long-term back or neck pain. It will help your body move easier, relax your muscles, and help you sit up straight. It will help you feel good, and at the same time, it will help you become a healthier person, especially if you correct a number of bad habits that we all do.
Is an X-ray needed before treatment?
Not necessarily. X-rays are used only if they would help us better understand your health, past injuries, or if there is an area of concern. Visit Our Office
