about us
"In my early twenties, I was working as a boat rigger in Southold, Long Island."...
…”One day while lifting a boat motor, I strained my lower back pretty badly. I went to the ER and was given pain medication, which didn’t help.
I was then seen by an orthopedist who also gave me pain meds, which still didn’t help. Fortunately the orthopedist referred me to a chiropractor, which at the time I knew nothing about, but was willing to try anything.
Dr. Karpf examined me and explained exactly what I had done to my spine; not only my lower back, he also identified my unresolved neck injury from a car accident several years prior. Back at the time of the accident, I had received the same “treatment” – pain meds, which again had done nothing to actually help my neck pain and headaches.
As I started my treatments with Dr. Karpf, I began noticing improvements in both my low back AND my chronic neck pain. The best part…all without any medication!
Interestingly, this was all taking place at a time in my life where I was still in college, undecided, but had been thinking of going into the medical field. Because of my life changing experience with chiropractic, I decided to become a Chiropractor. I wanted to help people overcome pain and physical dysfunction to be able to live healthy, active lives.”
