Carraway Chiropractic & Laser Center

We fielded some questions about the pending move.

Here are the details:

Normal hours of operations but I will be taking Fridays off in January. I will use that day packing boxes and such.

The transfer to the new office will happen near the end of January. I imagine the 3rd or 4th week. Depending on how much we can get done in the first half of the month.

Everything but the carpet and the paint on the walls has to go!

The final move will be a breeze. We should have everything in place with the exception of the treatment table and the lasers.

If you all are nice, maybe, just maybe, I will leave a couple of chairs in the lobby until the last day. ;)

PS,

One cool feature at the new location is there is a solarium just across the hall from my room. In nice weather, that will be a pleasant place to use as a seating area.

We are in the process of cleaning up and moving out of our current office.

I found this card from 1995 announcing our move to our current office.

My Christmas relief doctor was waiting for me when I pulled up this morning. It's always good to have him onboard for the Christmas rush.

He kept asking me if I had been naughty or nice. But I was too busy telling him about the upcoming changes planned for 2026.

As many of you may know, big changes are coming to Carraway Chiropractic Center. We had been busy making plans to establish a mobile practice but have since found a far superior solution to continue serving our patients. We are excited to announce that in late January 2026 our new office address will be:

McCarthy Square Office Suites
790 Cardinal Road, Suite 6
New Bern, NC 28562

This office will be more accommodating, accessible, and comfortable for all our patients.
As a reminder, Dr. Carraway will be an out-of-network provider with all insurance plans beginning January 1st, 2026. We will be unable to file any insurance after that time.
You can continue to keep in touch with us through our page, our website (carraway.net), or Google listing for online appointments and new office hours. Our phone number, (252) 636-2900, will remain the same.
We look forward to serving you in 2026!

Look at the impressive list of diseases, illnesses, degenerative, and age related issues that laser therapy has been shown to be beneficial for. For a deeper dive open the full paper read the extended lists and mechanisms.

I am constantly amazed at the new things added.

Photobiomodulation (PBM) therapy, a non-thermal light therapy using nonionizing light sources, has shown therapeutic potential across diverse biological processes, including aging and age-associated diseases. In 2023, scientists from the National Institute on Aging (NIA) Intramural and Extramural programs convened a workshop on the topic of PBM to discuss various proposed mechanisms of PBM action, including the stimulation of mitochondrial cytochrome C oxidase, modulation of cell membrane transporters and receptors, and the activation of transforming growth factor-β1. They also reviewed potential therapeutic applications of PBM across a range of conditions, including cardiovascular disease, retinal disease, Parkinson’s disease, and cognitive impairment. Workshop participants largely agreed that PBM holds immense potential as a safe and effective therapeutic approach for a wide range of age-related diseases and cognitive decline. While further research is needed to fully elucidate its mechanisms and optimize treatment protocols, the findings presented at the NIA workshop provide strong evidence for the continued investigation and clinical translation of this promising, inexpensive, safe technology, to aging and age-associated diseases. Here, we review the research presented and discussion held at the meeting. In addition, the text has been updated, where applicable, with recent research findings that have been made since the meeting occurred.

Happy Friday all. We just got our new bright white wrap job completed, so we have a blank slate. This afternoon we met with the folks at ENC Sign Co. to discuss graphics. We are making good progress.

Some patients have been concerned about being physically able to get on our bus. Not to worry...we have you covered.

Our transition to our mobile practice is on track. We have been working on the interior and exterior making everything we can shine.

We are scheduled to get a wrap next week and start working on big items like HVAC, storage, power for my table and lasers.

I hope to establish a parking place close to the current office and we will have an app which will allow you to make and change your appointment times online. We plan on keeping our current phone number but you will likely have to leave a message to get a return call.

There will be a learning curve but I have found a great resource of other doctors around the country who have had mobile practices for years.

I expect we will have all the wrinkles ironed out in 60 days or less.
