Chiropractic is so much more than fixing the aches and pains from an injury or accident and my family is proof. Our five year old son, Clayton, was constantly sick and an overall unhappy little guy from the time he was born. We were told he had allergies, colic and at about 4 months the swine flu. His birth was challenging, but we were not aware that the birth process can cause subluxations which can result in many more issues. With both our son and our oldest daughter we were in and out of the doctor’s office treating the symptoms of many different viruses and infections frequently. It was a cycle that we could not seem to break no matter how many times they changed the medicine.
Our sister-in-law is also a patient of Dr. Carla. She began going to Warner Family Chiropractic because her daughter struggled with constant ear infections. We followed her recommendation and are so thankful we did. We began treatment when our oldest daughter was just over a year old and was also struggling with ear infections. Our entire family has been treated by Dr. Carla now for a year and a half. Both our son and oldest daughter have been healthier than ever before. I do not mean that they do not ever catch a virus, but I do mean that it does not affect them in the same way as it used to. While patients of Dr. Carla, we found out we were expecting our last baby. I was slightly concerned about continuing treatment while pregnant, but am so thankful I did. Dr. Carla put my mind at ease again by explaining the benefits and the reasons why it is safe. Not only was my entire pregnancy more comfortable, but delivery was as well. Just hours after the arrival of our youngest daughter, Dr. Carla gave her the first of many adjustments. She is treated regularly now along with the rest of the family.
The changes chiropractic care made in our lives are remarkable. Our trips to the family doctor are now slim to none, our children are happy, bright spirited little kids, and my germ anxiety is minimized and that is just a few of the differences. Even starting as a skeptic of the practice, the Wednesday evening health talk and Dr. Carla’s willingness to answer and explain any question proposed made the facts behind the practice very clear. It is now an expected trip each week and one my children look forward to. Not only is the adjustment beneficial to overall health, but the visit to Warner Family Chiropractic is guaranteed to brighten your day. The staff is very friendly and welcoming and the environment is as well. Being a patient of Dr. Carla at Warner Family Chiropractic is like being part of another family that truly cares about you and your well-being! We love you Dr. Carla! <3

My fourth child (Kyree Jhene) was born on September 16th, 2016 and not long after she became a patient of Dr. Carla Warner’s. Soon after she was born she started suffering from what I assumed was colic and gas. She was obviously uncomfortable and would cry most of the day and night. As a mother who had 3 children prior that never experienced something like this I felt failed as a parent that I could not figure out how to help her and ease her pain. We tried many things (gas drops, different formula, etc.) to try and help before we were introduced to Dr. Warner and Chiropractic Care, which ultimately saved us and our little girl.
Our first meeting with Dr. Warner she explained in depth the benefits and importance of Chiropractic Care, not only for adults, but for children and infants. I was surprised how many things that she discussed related to a lot of the things that my family had been experiencing and struggling with. At that meeting Dr. Warner evaluated Kyree and adjusted her for the very first time. During the first adjustment Kyree was able to release a lot of the gas her little stomach had been struggling so much with and was very clearly more comfortable and started to feel the benefits of the adjustments. Over the next few days the benefits of the adjustment were even more apparent because the “colicky” behavior started to fade.
I now have a baby that smiles, sleeps and is no longer uncomfortable. Our home life has improved dramatically and the confidence of parenting has restored tremendously. I tell everyone I can about chiropractic care and the amazing benefits. I wish I would have discovered it sooner. There is no value you can put on having a happy healthy baby. There really are no words that can tell you how grateful we are to have Warner Chiropractic. Our whole family of six now comes to Dr. Warner, not only when we aren’t feeling our best, but on a regular basis. Dr. Warner is so knowledgeable and will answer all your and make sure you are comfortable with the treatments before they are given. She has an amazing bedside manner and her entire office treats my family like their own and go out of their way to make sure we are all happy and healthy. I highly recommend trying Chiropractic Care and bringing your family to Warner Chiropractic.

I had suffered from chronic low back pain/radiation to my left lower extremity for approximately three years when I began treatment with Dr. Carla Warner. At this point, I had tried everything, or so I had thought. I had tried numerous pain medications, surgery, and physical therapy with not more than temporary results. A co-worker asked me if I had ever tried Chiropractics and I replied, “I think my problems are too serious for that, I don’t think it will help.” However, this individual explained to me that he had encountered similar problems and that Chiropractics had been crucial in treating his condition.
I sustained what I thought was a minor back injury in 2004 while on active duty in the Air Force. I went to the doctor, was prescribed some anti-inflammatory medications and put on light duty for a day or two, and moved on with my life (not ever thinking much about this injury). However, in March of 2007 I began to have low back problems, so again (at this time I was separated from the Air Force) I went to my primary care physician and he showed me some stretches to help with my problems and told me to take an NSAID for the pain. I went on just pushing through the pain and dealing with it because of my busy schedule, until one day in August of 2007 when I encountered major problems. The pain was debilitating; I was unable to sit for more than five minutes and could be on my feet for no longer than one hour. If I did any such activities, I found myself taking pain pills and lying in bed for hours waiting for relief. This problem got to the point that I could not even finish a shift at work, so I met with my supervisor and arranged to be taken off the schedule. I decided to have surgery because I had just started my first job since separating from the Air Force and was enrolled in pre-requisite classes for entry into a BSN program. I thought surgery would be the quickest and most direct/permanent fix for this problem.
After the surgery, minor residual pain remained, and I thought to myself, this is nothing compared to the pain I had been through over the past few months so I’ll take it, this is okay. Following the surgery in September of 2007, the residual pain faded to nothing and I was back to fully functional and on my way. I started my nursing program in September of 2008 and was taken by surprise in November, when while sitting in class one morning I began to feel an all too-familiar sensation. The pain had come back, but not constant like prior to my surgery. At this I would typically wake with it in the morning, but as the day went on it would ease up. As time went on the pain began to stick with me throughout the days and I found myself taking pain pills every day after work/school. In February 2009, I returned to my primary care physician and asked for a Physical Therapy consult.
After attending PT 2-3 times a week for just over a month, my Therapist told me that I had made such progress and that further sessions would serve as no advantage to me. Therapy did help; the pain was still present but in no way as intense as what I had experienced in the past, so again I accepted this. However, in June of 2009, my pain returned with a vengeance to a severity comparable to my pre-surgery pain level, a debilitating pain. I was not functional for about two weeks at this time and returned to my doctor, this time to try the epidural injections that I had hoped to evade with Physical therapy.
I began these injections in June of 2009, and after a total of five injections over six months I decided that this treatment had been futile and that I would receive no more. Between the months of June and February the pain was so bad that I was again living on pain pills. I would go to work/school and come home, take pain pills, and pass out on the couch…some life, right? I was unable to sit for any significant amount of time but could still stand and walk, so I just pressed on with school and work because I was far too busy to be slowed down by my health at the age of 30. As I mentioned, I could stand and walk, but I was so out of alignment that I could no longer stand straight; no matter how I tried, the muscles in my back were so tight that this was not only painful but impossible. I remember one night I was lying half on/half off the couch as was the position that caused the least amount of pain and my wife encouraged me to seek treatment at an Emergency Room, but I told her the only way I’m moving from this position is if someone picks me up just the way I am and physically moves me (I stayed in this position for an unbelievable 16 hours). At this point I sought out my surgeon once again.
At this point I did not know what I was to do, my pain management doctor seemed to think that I would get progressively worse and thought that I was too young to try another surgery, but I scheduled surgery so that I could have it over my summer break and continue with school in the fall. My co-worker mentioned that I should see Dr. Carla Warner, so I said why not; after all I was less than optimistic about another surgery. So I began regular treatment at Warner Family Chiropractic, three times per week.
At my consultation, Dr. Warner reviewed my old MRI and x-ray films that I had provided and took x-rays of her own. My treatment consisted of gentle massage, lumbar decompression, and adjustment. After about ten sessions, the pain became excruciatingly horrible; however, I was not surprised as Dr. Warner had explained to me that this was not an expectation but a possibility (upon consultation). I was unable to make my appointments for approximately one week, during which I miss school and clinical hours. Moreover, I was contemplating not returning for treatment, but I made myself go back because I knew that this was going to help me. I had missed over two weeks of school and work and was in danger of having to drop my classes, when the pain began to subside. I continued my prescribed treatment and it seem that after about 18 sessions the pain was regressing after each session until I reached session 24, when my pain was greatly reduced. I would say that my pain level was a 10/10 when I began treatment and about a 1-2/10 by my 24th session. Dr. Warner explained to me that most patients require about 10-15 sessions, but that my case was one of the worst she had ever seen, and I believe her.
I was able to finish my spring semester, participate in a Student Nurse Extern program over the summer working in an Emergency Department, and move right into my final semester this fall. I am looking forward to graduating and—although I know it is a long shot—am in the process of trying to join the Air Force Reserves following my graduation.
I feel that Dr. Warner essentially gave my life back to me, and words cannot express my gratitude. As a full-time college student with a family, I was concerned about paying for the treatment because my insurance policy does not cover Chiropractic care (ironic how some insurance companies will not cover the one effective and least invasive treatment for this problem); however, Dr. Warner worked out an extended payment plan with me and happily took me on as a patient. I have never been treated with such respect nor felt such genuine concern from another practitioner. Dr. Warner and her staff are extremely professional and patient/family oriented. When I first met Dr. Warner she asked why I had not tried Chiropractics and I replied that I thought my problem was too severe; she made a joke and said that I probably thought that Chiropractors were like Witch Doctors. Dr. Warner, I still do not think you are a Witch Doctor, but you certainly did work some sort of magic. THANK YOU!!!
