Optimal Health Chiropractic & Physical Therapy

“Best chiropractic care EVER. Period. I have always believed in chiropractic care, and I am HIGHLY selective in chiropractors who I allow to treat me (only 3 between 1985 and the present), visit Dr. Rick Carlson. NOT a bone cracker, a true ‘artist’ who practices his ‘craft’ with the highest degree of professionalism , and dedicated to healing the ‘whole” body’ – not just ‘adjusting your back’.”

“Wonderfully unexpected experience! I didn’t think that I would ever be able to get rid of the annoying pain and nerve issues that I have in my upper arm but after a few visits with Dr. Carlson I was able to sleep through the night with no symptoms and my grip strength came back! I highly recommend Dr. Carlson if you think you have an ‘untreatable’ condition. I had no idea Chiropractors even did the things he did for me. It was a great experience, and changed my outlook on Chiropractic in general. Definitely not your typical back cracker. Thanks Doc!”

“I went to a few Chiropractors in the area for a pulled lower back And although they helped a few days later my pain was back to square one. That all changed however when I went to Dr. Carlson. The doctor’s treatments were great but he also gave me a lot of exercises to do at home. These follow up methods and stretches that he regimented specifically for me is what saved the day. If you’re committed about stopping your ailments altogether go see this guy for sure!”

“I have never been to a chiropractor like this before. This guy knows his biomechanics and how to treat injuries. I had a bum shoulder and ham string & Dr. Carlson was able to fix both in just a few short weeks.”

“I never knew chiropractors could help with more then just back pain. Thank God I asked. He worked wonders on my shoulder.”

“I had Plantar fasciitis for years and the Graston technique has fixed me.”

“Helped me through numerous running related pains last year And kept me in top shape through my marathon training . Starting to go to him now for sciatica pain and it’s comforting knowing that I’m in good hands.”

“Hands down one of the best chiropractors in southern NJ. Takes time to get to the areas that needs to be taken care of and does a fantastic job. My gymnastics kid loves how she feels so much better after her appt with DR CARLSON!!!”

“It had been a long time since I had seen a Chiropractor And I wanted to go see Dr. Rick, not only because I went to school with him, but I had seen what a terrific reputation he had developed in the chiropractic community. He took the time to explain everything that he did before, during and after our session. The incorporation of stretching into the general chiropractic routine, that I had anticipated, was awesome! I definitely felt a difference even after one session and I will definitely be returning. Kerry rocks as well!!”

“Rick is awesome! My first visit I called and he was able to fit me I that afternoon . He really worked wonders for me. My back feels great ! He was very nice and explained to me what was going on with my back. Also the staff is very friendly and make you feel comfortable and at home”

“Dr Carlson saved my life! I have arthritis in my lower joints and bursitis in my shoulders. I also have a tendency to whine about the pain… constantly… and without mercy. My complaining about pain was SO annoying, friends and family threatened to leave me for dead in a remote Valley somewhere near the deserts of Nevada. A personal trainer introduced me to the Doc and Optimal Health. The treatment I’ve received is nothing short of incredible. The pain is gone. My complaining is reduced and I’m not dead in the Mojave somewhere. So, you see, I would HIGHLY recommend Optimal Health to anyone.”

“Best chiropractic experience I’ve ever had. After how I woke up yesterday, I cannot believe that I’m pain free today after seeing Dr. Carlson. They fit me in as a new patient within hours of calling and were very kind and compassionate. Dr Carlson took his time to explain what he was going to do and the techniques used WORKED, quickly and very well! Thank you so much!!”
