Oklahoma City Chiropractor for Pain Relief & Wellness

Welcome to Family Tree Chiropractic

Dr. Micah Carter: Hello and welcome. My name is Dr. Micah Carter, founder and owner of Family Tree Complete Care here in Oklahoma City. I wanted to take a moment to thank you for taking the first step in your healing journey by applying to be a patient here. You see, you have made the right step, the right first step in finding the root cause of your problem and then getting that root cause fixed. We’ve helped thousands of people over the last 23 years just like you get out of pain quickly and then correct the root cause so it’s not coming back over and over again. So, I just want to take a moment, welcome you, tell you I look forward to meeting you. I’m going to show you around the office so you’ll know what to expect on your first visit here with us. I look forward to meeting you.

You see, you’re not just making an appointment at a doctor’s office. You’re actually joining a movement—a movement of like-minded people who are sick and tired of seeing people needlessly take medications, sometimes dangerous medications and having unnecessary surgeries. People who are left in pain each and every day. People who can no longer do the activities like golfing, swimming, biking and all the fun activities with family due to this pain.

You see, we are dedicated to finding each and every patient’s root cause—the a-number-1 reason that is leading to the pain and loss of life activities that they’re experiencing. And once we find that true root cause, we work specifically and individually with each and every patient to get them well as quickly as possible and to be able to correct the problem so this is not coming back over and over and over again.

When I first started practicing over 23 years ago, I saw so many people stuck in the same rut. The problems kept coming back over and over again. They never really truly got lasting relief. Which is exactly why I have designed our trusted and proven R.E.S.T.O.R.E. method that not only takes the pain away as quickly as possible, but it also works on the muscles, the tight muscles, the weak muscles, it works on the brain training to be able to keep the correction long term.

We have treatments anywhere from intermittent segmental traction, which is nice and relaxing. We also have cold laser that speeds up the healing process. We have fantastic massage therapists who are trained in deep tissue sports and medical massage who can take away those aching muscle pains. We also have spinal decompression. Spinal decompression is designed to rehydrate the discs in between the vertebrae and take the pressure off of the nerve. This relieves things like sciatica, pain shooting down one or both legs.

So this first visit, it’s all about you and finding out exactly what the root cause of your problem is. We have many different tests that we can specialize to find the root cause of your problem to make sure it’s something that we are good at helping. You see, we can do chiropractic evaluations and neurological evaluations, orthopedic evaluations, muscle testing. We do a complete physical exam. We have onsite modern digital high-frequency X-ray to get the clearest and best pictures on site on your first visit.

You’ll notice several different therapies through here. We have full spinal correction through the pedabon system where we stretch the tight muscle, strengthen the weak muscles and retrain the brain and muscle connection through something called neuromuscular re-education. It’s a big fancy word for muscle memory. These are our stretching stations where you’re able to get flexibility in those tight muscles that are restricting your movement and activity.

We do deep core strengthening and balance training to make sure that once these problems are corrected, they stay corrected. This is one of my favorite rooms here. This is our shockwave therapy by Sanuwave. I have seen Sanuwave help people who have walked in pain for over eight years due to plantar fasciitis walk out of the door without any pain with it never returning over a year later. Sanuwave is also fantastic. One of the best treatments I’ve ever seen at treating a frozen shoulder. We’re talking about increased range of motion within one to three weeks with most people getting full pain-free range of motion.

Sanuwave is also the best treatment that I have ever seen for sciatica that is caused by piriformis syndrome. Sanuwave is also a fantastic option for people who have minor meniscus tears in their knees. Seen people walking down our hallway crying, leaning on the wall because it’s so difficult to walk. And within two weeks, they’re walking up and downstairs with no problem.

When you come into the office, you’ll actually meet people just like you. They started out right where you are, and they took the first step that you’re taking right now. And now they are so much better and they love to share their stories whenever people walk through because they want everybody else to get the same fantastic, amazing results that they did because now they’re able to ride their mountain bike. They’re able to golf again. They’re able to do yard work, work on their vehicles, do the housework that they were unable to do before they came in. They’re now getting a restful night sleep. They have more energy, and they have a much better positive outlook on life.

Patient: Whenever I first came in, I was dealing with sciatica. My sciatic nerve was—I mean it had gotten so bad to the point I even told you guys that I was considering amputation of that right leg because the pain was just relentless and there was just no relief. And at that point, my really what my concern was was that I wanted—I didn’t want to just go to my practitioner and them offer, you know, more muscle relaxers or pain medicine. I wanted to actually figure out what the root cause of the sciatica was coming from, where what started. But yeah, just trying to find that root cause and really finding a solution to the problem instead of just masking it with medicines or things that are going to actually fix the problem. And once we got the treatment plan, that in itself gave me a lot of hope. But then seeing those results so quickly, even just after that first week, you know, my pain level being at a 10 most of the time, was already down to like a seven, eight area. That was—I was very very thankful for that.

Dr. Micah Carter: These stories aren’t rare. They happen all the time. They happen all the time because we do not guess. We test. We find the root cause of each and every patient’s problem. And if it’s something that we are good at treating, then we set them up on the customized personalized plan to get them out of pain as quickly as we can and get their problem corrected once and for all.

First visit, feel free to bring a friend or a family member like your spouse with you. We find that people who have that support at home are the ones that get the fastest and most effective relief and correction. Besides that, it’s really hard to remember everything that you learn in one single visit. So therefore, you have another set of ears that’s picking up things for you, and you’re able to discuss these together.

We’re excited to meet you, hear your story, and help you experience what true complete care feels like. Thank you for trusting us with your health. You’ve made an incredible decision, and we can’t wait to welcome you to the Family Tree Complete Care family. We’ll see you soon.

FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I expect during my first visit to your chiropractor Oklahoma City office?

Your first visit includes a comprehensive consultation where we discuss your health history, current concerns, and treatment goals. Dr. Carter will perform a thorough physical examination, which may include orthopedic and neurological tests, posture analysis, and range of motion assessments. If needed, we may recommend diagnostic imaging. After reviewing your results, we’ll explain our findings in easy-to-understand terms and develop a personalized treatment plan. Most new patients receive their first adjustment during this visit if appropriate.

Most patients find chiropractic adjustments comfortable and often experience immediate relief. You may hear popping or cracking sounds during adjustments—this is simply gas being released from the joints and is completely normal. Some patients experience mild soreness similar to post-workout muscle fatigue for 24-48 hours after their first few treatments as their body adjusts. Dr. Carter uses gentle techniques appropriate for your condition and comfort level, and communication throughout treatment ensures your experience is positive.
Treatment duration varies based on your specific condition, how long you’ve had symptoms, your overall health, and your response to care. Acute injuries may respond within a few weeks, while chronic conditions typically require longer treatment periods. After your initial examination, Dr. Carter will provide a recommended treatment plan with estimated frequency and duration. Many patients continue with periodic maintenance care after their symptoms resolve to maintain optimal spinal health and prevent future problems.

We work with most major insurance providers. For a full list of our in-network providers, please discuss with our friendly staff. We do accept out-of-network insurance. Our staff will verify your benefits and explain your coverage before you begin treatment. We also offer competitive self-pay rates for uninsured patients and provide Good Faith Estimates as required by law. Note: Certain discounts are not applicable to Medicare and other federal insurance plans, and standard insurance rules apply.

Absolutely! While chiropractors are well-known for treating back pain, chiropractic care addresses many conditions related to spinal health and nervous system function. We successfully treat neck pain, headaches, migraines, sciatica, shoulder pain, sports injuries, whiplash, carpal tunnel syndrome, and many other musculoskeletal conditions. Many patients also experience improvements in overall wellness, including better sleep, increased energy, and enhanced immune function.
Chiropractic care is one of the safest forms of healthcare available. Serious complications from chiropractic adjustments are extremely rare. Dr. Carter is extensively trained in proper examination procedures and adjustment techniques to ensure your safety. Before any treatment, we conduct thorough examinations to identify any contraindications. Chiropractic care is significantly safer than long-term use of pain medications or surgical interventions, with research consistently demonstrating its effectiveness and safety profile.
While both disciplines focus on musculoskeletal health, chiropractic care emphasizes spinal alignment and nervous system function through manual adjustments and manipulations. Physical therapy typically focuses on rehabilitation exercises, stretching, and functional movement patterns. At Family Tree Chiropractic, we often incorporate therapeutic exercises and rehabilitation protocols alongside chiropractic adjustments, providing you with comprehensive care that combines the benefits of both approaches.
Yes! Chiropractic care during pregnancy is safe and beneficial for many expectant mothers. Pregnancy creates postural changes and increased stress on the spine and pelvis, often leading to lower back pain, sciatica, and pelvic discomfort. Dr. Carter uses gentle techniques specifically designed for pregnant patients and has specialized equipment to ensure your comfort and safety. Many patients find that regular chiropractic care during pregnancy leads to more comfortable pregnancies and easier deliveries.
Diagnostic imaging is not always necessary but may be recommended based on your specific condition, symptoms, and examination findings. X-rays help us identify structural problems, rule out serious pathology, and develop the most effective treatment plan. If X-rays are needed, we’ll explain why they’re necessary and how the information will guide your care. We only order imaging when clinically indicated and always consider the benefits versus any potential risks.
Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely. Athletic wear or casual clothing works well. Avoid wearing dresses, tight jeans, or restrictive clothing that might limit your movement during examination and treatment. You may be asked to change into a gown for certain examinations or treatments. If you’re coming directly from work, we have changing facilities available.
