This review is long overdue and it's going to be thorough so please take the time to read it in its entirety. Almost a year ago, a few months prior to giving birth to my son, I was in desperate need of relief from lower back pain. It was debilitating. We found Dr. Carlson through the Kaiser database of approved providers and my husband made us both an appointment about two months out since he was booked solid. My husband is a veteran with back pain as well and has been trying to convince me for years to see a chiropractor. Since I was in need of immediate relief we made a few appointments with another local chiropractor (who shall not be named) who was able to get us in right away (reflecting on this now, I believe his open availability was likely a sign of the lack of care to come). I didn't know any better at the time as this was my first experience so I excitedly attended my first appointment hoping for the best. I got to my appointment and there was no intake process really. I was told I couldn't do X-rays due to my pregnancy and to just tell him what hurt. Each of the times I went, my appointment lasted about 10 minutes and the same ineffective adjustment was done each time. I was left with no change to my quality of life. THEN..my appointment with Dr. Carlson came. I was praying things would be different with a new provider and boy was it. My initial appointment took slightly over an hour. Another gentleman, Dennis, evaluated me from head to toe. This evaluation itself took longer than all my appointments combined at the other place. Great! I could tell I was in good hands. I really appreciated the level of care and attention to detail with my concerns. Dr. Carlson did my adjustment after my evaluation and made it a point to get me on his busy schedule since I was pregnant and really needed his help. What a God send. I remember walking to my car after my appointment actually walking upright with no pain instead of my typical strained pregnant lady waddle. I felt relief for the first time in months and I actually cried tears of joy. I called my husband immediately and told him not to waste any more of our Kaiser approved chiro visits on the other place and told him he wouldn't regret waiting for his appointment with Dr. Carlson. He didn't. We have been doing regular follow-up visits since and my baby is now scheduled for his first adjustment next month. He will be 9 months old. Theres no one I'd trust more with his developmental care. Dr. Carlson has a "whole-istic" approach to wellness, as I call it, which looks at the whole individual on a physiological level. He suggests dietary supplements which complement chiropractic treatment and help the body heal itself. We have taken his recommended supplements and have noticed drastic changes to our well being and health overall. He really is a wealth of knowledge and we eagerly anticipate each follow-up appointment. Everyone who works there is extremely kind from the moment you walk in the door. In short, if you are unable to get an appointment right away it's for a reason. He's that good. And definitely worth the wait. You won't regret it. I truly hope you experience the level of relief we have. read more

Carlson Chiropractic - Front - Chiropractors Near Me - Redlands, California

Once you go Carlson, you wont go back!!! This is my 5th chiropractor in about 19 years and Dr. Carlson makes them look like quacks. I guess I had no idea what a quality chiropractor was. It took almost two months to get an appointment with this practice and now I can understand why. Dr. Carlson is approachable and thorough. It's a professional "Virgin River" vibe (small town/small business.) I've been in so much pain and procrastinated scheduling close to home. For the price of a pedicure; I can get pain relief. They have laser therapy and do a complete evaluation! Maritza with the front office was very kind and patient unlike the customer service you commonly see now a days at most places. Dr. Blue's evaluation was very thorough. I am so thankful to have such a quality chiropractor in Redlands. I actually left with pain relief! Dr. Carlson also took the initiative to laser some scars from a back surgery. This practice has more than meets the eye! Definitely 5 star treatment. read more

I've been seen by Dr Carlson for adjustments just twice, but I can say he is the only chiropractor I'll ever need. Also, I'm doing the nutritional program just under two weeks and see a huge change for the better. I was having acute pain twinges in my L4 region starting in November (I have never, ever had back pain, historically!). Dr Blue (Dennis) FIXED me in two sessions of OPT! (ask about it when you go!). I went from, "OMG! I'll never survive like this!" to life is good in two weeks. Cheers! read more

My experiences with Dr Carlson have been very positive. I've been dealing with pain and seeing doctors for a few years now with no relief. But Dr Carlson had a totally different approach, a confidence that was reassuring and he has done things that have been genuinely healing, mind and body. Expect to be held accountable. But expect to be supported as well! Staff is kind, appointments are easy to schedule, I could not be happier with the care I am getting! I recommend seeing Dr Carlson if you have nutritional needs like digestive problems. He's really thorough and very caring! read more

A few weeks ago I visited Dr Carlson for the first time. I had a great first impression as the office's staff were so profesional and compassionate. As a family nurse practitioner, at first, I was a bit skeptical regarding spine adjustments. Nonetheless, after Dr Carlson explained the benefits and performed his first adjustment, I felt great lower and upper back pain relief. To be honest, pain relief went from 7/10 to 3/10 after the first adjustment. Not only Dr Carlson, addressed the chronic back pain, he went above and beyond to provide a comprehensive assessment to identify triggers to my chronic pain that is related to an inflammatory autoimmune disorder. Now, after just a few weeks under his care, adjustments to foods causing inflammation (gluten and corn), natural supplements to decrease inflammation, and proper follow up, I feel that I'm on my way to recovery. I can stress enough how thankful I am to have found someone with knowledge in both conventional and wholistic medical approach who can provide comprehensive care, including chiropractics and nutritional advise to help those with chronic autoimmune disorders leading to chronic pain. Thank you Dr Carlson! read more

I have been going to Dr. Carlson for many years. Excellent adjustment, excellent customer service, and now the added benefit of Dennis's services! I also see Dr. Carlson for nutrition and it has helped exponentially over the years. I always leave feeling much better than when I walked in! Fantastic group of people! read more

I can't even begin to explain how wonderful Dr. Carlson and his staff are but here's my attempt... I stumbled upon Carlson Chiropractic on a walk one afternoon, shortly after moving to Redlands. I was instantly attracted to the curb appeal of the office and was pleasantly surprised to find out that they took my insurance. When I called to make my initial appointment, the staff was very helpful and was able to get me in the very next day! Dr. Carlson is very thorough in his chiropractic exam and adjustments. Beyond that, he is certified in Nutrition Response Testing- a holistic approach to health and well being. Struggling in a few areas myself, I decided to begin a program with Dr. Carlson and I have never felt better! He is very honest and direct and completely passionate about his work and his patients success. He is genuinely excited when he sees progress and that continues to motivate me to stay on track with my nutrition goals. I initially went in for a routine adjustment and left with so much more than I ever anticipated. Whether you are seeking chiropractic treatment or looking for personalized health improvement, Dr. Carlson is the best! read more
