I'm a new patient in Lexington Spinal Care and I'm very appreciative of the couple visits I've already had. The doctor is very thorough, knowledgeable, and genuinely really cares about getting the results I need. The staff is very helpful and very polite
Dr Carpenter, Julie and the team are fantastic. Every time I forget my age and do something I shouldn’t, Doc makes it better. Thanks gang for what you do.
Dr. Carpenter and his staff are very nice and welcoming! Every time i go in for treatment , i come out feeling much better! My back had been giving me a fit for months and i was taking ibuprofen for temporary relief. I'm impressed that Dr. Carpenter has never told me to take any pain medicine. Noooow after 4 treatments, i'm getting out of bed instead of rolling out of bed! I will continue to go to Lexington Spinal Care and would recommend them to evetyone who is having spinal issues.
I can’t believe it took me as long as it did to seek help for my back pain. Lexington Spinal Care is extremely thorough in figuring out exactly what’s causing pain and discomfort and Dr Carpenter explains things in a way that is easy to understand. They are affordable and provide real results! Within 2 visits so far I can already notice a BIG positive change with pain and discomfort I’ve had for a while before seeking help. I can’t recommend Lexington Spinal Care enough! If you have pain too than it’s a necessity that you make an appointment with Dr Carpenter. Thank you very much Lexington Spinal Care!
During the many years I have been a patient of Lexington Spinal Care, I have found Dr. Carpenter and his staff to be extremely helpful, friendly and capable. I feel fortunate to have found this practice, and highly recommend them.
I have been a patient of Lexington Spinal Care for the last 12 years. I love Dr. Carpenter and all the staff! Everyone is so caring and friendly- they make you feel like family! From Lauren and Stephanie welcoming you at the front desk; to Annie and Julie who do different therapies; and Angie and Trevor performing various treatments and therapies. You never feel like a number and they greet you by name. They offer many different types of treatments and consistently upgrade their equipment. Over the years, I have received adjustments, pettibon therapy, spinal decompression, rolling table, TENS, and ultrasound therapies. However, other therapies are offered in the office if you need. Dr. Carpenter is always open to trying different therapies, if other things have not worked. He is willing to work with you to help you feel your best!!!
I have been a patient on and off for about 15 years. Dr. Carpenter and the whole staff are genuinely kind and care about you and your care. Best chiropractor around!
I love the staff and the care that I received. Lexington spinal Care is awesome. I recommend Them and your back will feel awesome and you will be smiling every time you come
Went to Lexington Spinal Care as a new patient . Received excellent service , was very prompt and knowledgable. Highly reccommend going to Dr. Carpenter for your chiropractic needs.
It was an amazing experience, my first time in. The staff was fantastic and extremely friendly. The chiropractor was super knowledgeable about what pain I was feeling and how to treat it.
Dr. Carpenter and all of the staff are the best!! I have been receiving care for over 20 years and feel great! They are the first line of care for my husband and I for our medical concerns. The very best in chiropractic care!!
I’ve been under Dr. Carpenter’s care for the past seven years. From the first office visit, he and the knowledgeable staff have been welcoming and shown a true concern for my overall wellbeing. I am a weekly visitor getting “maintenance” adjustments and E-Stim therapy which help to relieve the aches and pains from everyday life. If the need arises, more frequent visits and access to a vast variety of equipment and therapies have helped me to recover more quickly from misalignments and injuries. I highly recommend Lexington Spinal Care.
We have used Lexington Spinal Care for years. We have benefited from all the services they offer and love Dr. Carpenter and his staff.<br><br>We absolutely love Angie!
"My lower back pain was so bad I could barely walk after working a full day, but after a few sessions with Dr. Carpenter, I feel like a new person. The staff at Lexington Spinal Care are all phenomenal and always greet you with the BEST attitude! I am so thankful to be a part of Lexington Spinal Care!
I have been working with the staff for almost 2 years. Since working with them, my life has completely changed. I am moving better, lost 82 inches, back at the gym. The staff is amazing. I keep their business cards on hand because I recommend them every single time.
Dr. Carpenter and team are amazing. I've been a patient for many years and love everyone here (except for Trevor). I give him movie recommendations and he has yet to see them. Anyways! You won't regret being a patient! Doc has truly helped me and my family and 5 stars aren't enough!
Great place to improve and maintain your health! Highly recommended! Staff is so nice and personable!!! There is chiropractic service, weight advice, muscle testing, laser therapy, massage. You’ll not be disappointed!
