Carlson Chiropractic – Austin

I fell on a Friday morning and my left shoulder hurt badly. I called the doctors on my insurance lists because I am fairly new to this area, I started calling the first one listed. The first 5 I called I got an answering machine and asked me to leave a message. I didnt. I feel that a doctors office that won’t answer the phone can’t care about their patients. I called Dr. Carlson’s office and was greeted with a cheerful front desk worker named Anna. She even offered me an appointment that morning! Dr. Carlson immediately took action and found I had a dislocated shoulder. He gave me instructions on what I needed to do until my next visit. I’m so happy that I found a true doctor that cares! I highly recommend this doctor!

I had never been to a chiropractor prior to Dr. Carlson. I had several accidents (auto, water, kid-​related, etc.) growing up and as an adult and as a result, had pretty bad migraines. I took Ibuprofen, Tylenol, Advil, Aspirin, and countless other OTC meds… a lot. In fact, every day… sometimes all day long, if I was having a «bad day.» I had some sort of bottle of pain reliever in every frequented spot (desk at home, desk at work, my car, husband’s truck, bathroom cabinet, kitchen cabinet, in my purse, etc.). I absolutely could not function if the migraines took hold. I don’t think I was ever without neck pain and at least a mild headache… the meds were to keep the pain to a dull roar.
I had tried my MD, but he offered no solution and just prescribed the heavy duty meds… but I was unable to function as a mother, wife, employee, etc. on those drugs… so my stint with prescription meds was short lived. Then I went to work for Dr. Carlson and he went to work on my neck. Within 3 months, I was only taking pain relievers to get started in the morning (my neck/​head being the worst after tossing and turning all night)…with the occasional «bad day.» Before much longer, I was able to get right up (most mornings) and start my day without any pain relievers. And finally… I had a new normal. What had become my life (neck pain, headaches, migraines, pain relievers, interrupted sleep, etc. etc. etc.) was now in the past. Oh I do occasionally get a headache… but like a normal person… few and far between.
I would recommend chiropractic to anyone… and I would recommend my doctor, Dr. Carlson, to everyone. It was a life-​changer for me and my family, not only because they benefited from me becoming pain free… but they too have all seen Dr. Carlson for one reason or another. Dr. Carlson has worked on my husband, father-​in-​law, 3 children, daughter-​in-​law, and 2 of my grandchildren (one when she was 1 year old for chronic ear infections and the other around 8 for severe migraines).
If you haven’t tried chiropractic… call 512−447−9093 and set an appointment today. It could change your life, too.
Did I mention he has a great staff? They are always cheerful, friendly, and helpful. A pleasant office to visit.

I had a really bad fall during SXSW and tried to deal with the pain for about a week until it became apparent that I needed help.
I went to Carlson Chiropractic because of their cold laser (I had personal experience with cold lasers in the past and thought it would be the ticket for my bruise) and because they were able to fit me in within a few hours of my first call.
I hobbled in to our initial consultation… Dr Carlson saw that I had potential for a herniated disc but it couldn’t be ruled in or out with any of the typical manipulation tests. We decided to do cold laser treatments until the bruise went away and go from there.
Luckily for me, the cold laser really helped what I had going on. I feel great and can walk up stairs with ease now.
The assistants in the office are always super nice and there’s never any waiting.

I have been going to Dr. Carlson for several years. I have always been very happy with his treatment. Today I discussed a problem I am having with TMJ. He adjusted my jaw and I haven’t felt this good in at least a year. The office staff is wonderful and would highly recommend their office to anyone.

Just had a great experience visiting Carlson Chiropractic. About 6 weeks ago I woke up in this weird twisted pain. It was like I was having a charlie horse in my rib cage. I went along with it for a couple of weeks. It got to be so bad it began affecting my back. I even left work one day because of back spasms and severe pain.
My regular doctor recommended a heating pad. Meh…
This led me to seek out Dr. Carlson upon a friend’s advice. I’m glad I did. He quickly diagnosed what was going on as a rib that was out of place and over the course of several visits worked on my back and alignment of my ribs. Dr. Carlson is a pleasure to chat with and has a friendly bedside manner that puts a person at ease.
Within 4 visits I could see amazing improvement. I no longer had pain or spasms sitting at work. I continued the course of treatment until complete. No further issues have arisen. I’m incredibly satisfied with the results!

I have had ongoing hip pain for a while. I tried several other treatments including other chiropractors but was always in constant pain. Dr Carlson listened to me and recommended a treatment that I have never heard of before called STM. I felt relief after the first treatment and improved after every treatment. I highly recommend him.

My son suffered from multiple joint pain and we had spent over a year looking for a solution to his pain through different doctors (family & orthopedic doctor, physical therapist, & rheumatologist). After seeing Dr. Carlson, his pain has gone down considerably and in some areas he is pain free. He is friendly and explains things really well. I highly recommend him!
