Why patients choose us
Care that feels personal, experienced, and honest.
Islands Chiropractic & Massage was built around a simple idea: people with musculoskeletal pain deserve natural, thoughtful care without pressure, confusion, or unnecessary hype.
Dr. Daniel Carlow has spent more than three decades helping patients feel better through gentle chiropractic care, therapeutic support, and clear education about why the problem started in the first place. Our office treats patients the way we would want our own family treated: warmly, carefully, and with respect.
“If you do not want to be sold your healthcare, but instead want an honest review of what is going on and the best way to improve it, you are in the right place.”

Complete Services
The full service lineup patients have come to know us for.
The previous site listed a broader service menu than the first draft of this redesign. This restores that full picture so patients can quickly see the different treatment paths available in the office.
Chiropractic Care
The foundation of the practice. Care begins with a thorough evaluation and uses precise, gentle adjustments to improve spinal alignment, nervous system function, and day-to-day movement.
- Focused on root-cause evaluation
- Whole-body, non-surgical approach
- Often paired with home exercises and supportive therapies
Shockwave Therapy
Shockwave therapy is used for painful or slow-to-heal tissue by delivering high-energy sound waves that stimulate the body’s own repair response.
- Often used for plantar fasciitis, tendon irritation, and shoulder issues
- Can support circulation and tissue regeneration
- Non-invasive and typically performed in short sessions
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy helps ease muscular tension, restore circulation, and complement chiropractic care so the body can hold progress more comfortably.
- Useful for stress, soreness, and overworked muscles
- Supports posture, recovery, and everyday function
- May include therapeutic, deep tissue, or prenatal options
Acupuncture
Acupuncture remains part of the current service mix and can be incorporated into care plans for pain relief, inflammation support, circulation, and overall well-being.
- Used for both therapeutic and preventative care

- Appropriate for a wide range of physical concerns
Spinal Decompression
Decompression therapy provides gentle traction-based care for disc-related symptoms and radiating pain patterns, including sciatica.

Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses targeted wavelengths of light to stimulate healing in damaged tissue, break up scar tissue, and support recovery where inflammation is slowing progress.
- Non-invasive, light-based treatment
- Used to support healing and reduce irritation

Wellness Care
Wellness care is for patients who want to maintain progress, stay ahead of recurring issues, and support healthier movement long after a pain flare settles down.
