Dr. Susan Carter uses an outcome based approach to chiropractic care. She believes that every condition and patient is unique. Therefore not everyone will have the same type and extent of injury and healing time. Her experience allows an educated guess to be made about the length needed for care of common conditions considering the possibility that the condition will become more complicated or resolve faster than expected. If conservative treatment goals are not being met, Dr. Carter has an excellent team of physicians she refers to for further testing and opinions.
A healthy and chiropractic lifestyle involves multiple factors. Exercise, nutrition, daily habits, positive mental attitude, constant striving for achieving a health goal and constant daily work or habits to achieve that goal. Preventative adjustments once a month are always the goal of Dr. Carters treatment plans. In her clinical experience, the patients who are adjusted monthly and incorporate her lifestyle recommendations have notably less health problems and aggravations of old injuries or issues.
Researching the latest techniques in chiropractic is extremely essential to staying on the cutting edge of chiropractic care. Dr. Carter is certified in Graston Technique, which is an instrument assisted soft tissue mobilization technique that is excellent for chronic injuries such as tennis elbow, plantar fascitis, and iliotibial band syndrome. Dr. Carter is certified in Kinesiotaping, which is a functional soft tissue taping method used by olympic athletes such as Kerri Walsh and cyclists such as Lance Armstrong. Her latest purchase for the practice is an Erchonia Cold Laser, which is the only Cold Laser that has been approved by the FDA. Cold laser has been extremely effective with all musculoskeletal conditions and especially conditions that other modalities cannot reach (due to contraindications) such as painful rib and jaw conditions. Cold laser is also an excellent treatment option for sleep apnea, chronic sinus problems, allergies, etc.
Dr. Carter has implemented medical record technology in her practice. You, as the patient, input all of your medical history in just seconds. Every visit you have the opportunity to record how you are feeling that day, and add any new problems or complaints. This new technology increases efficiency with sending medical records and communicating with your insurance company.
Dr. Carter is fluent in Spanish, which she loves to speak on a daily basis. She majored in Spanish at The Ohio State University and studied at the Fundacion de Jose Ortega y Gasset in Toledo, Spain. Dr. Carter works Wednesday afternoons in a clinic where she predominately speaks Spanish.
Continuing education is one of Dr. Carters hobbies. She loves to learn about new approaches to chiropractic, patient care, the latest technology, etc. She is currently taking classes to earn her Diplomate in Nutrition sponsored by the University of Miamis Division of Complementary & Integrative Medicine in the Miller School of Medicine. Attending at least 3 seminars a year is a goal for Dr. Carter.
Dr. Carter enjoys meeting and networking with other business owners and participating in Charity Events. She is a member of Business Networking International, Goal Setters Chapter in North Naples. Her chapter meets weekly, and she can refer you to the best professionals in Naples if you need any products and services outside of chiropractic. Dr. Carter is a member of the Kiwanis Club of Northside Naples. Through Kiwanis, she regularly participates in activities and events that benefit the Naples Community such as volunteering in food concessions at the ACE Classic Golf Tournament, Collier Harvest, and Christmas Party for Childrens Medical Services. She has also been involved with Womens Networking of Collier County, Young Professionals of Naples, and Toastmasters.
On a personal level, Dr. Carter is loving married life with her husband Billy. They enjoy re-modeling and re-decorating, exercising, spending time with friends and family, Trivial Pursuit matches, traveling, and watching movies. They have a wonderful dog, Spike. Dr. Carter is an avid fan of The Ohio State University, Cleveland Browns, Cleveland Indians, Cleveland Cavs, and Cleveland Force.
