Okay. It's almost here. 🎉

AFC Patient Appreciation Week starts MONDAY.

After 28 years, we're spending the week celebrating the people who made those 28 years possible.

You.

October 5–9 we'll have:

🎂 Birthday Dessert & Candy Bar
🎁 4 different patients winning $250 each
🎈 And, apparently, balloons. Lots of balloons.

If you've had an AFC visit between July 1 and September 30, you're already entered in the birthday giveaway.

Haven't been in recently?

Current and former AFC patients 18+ can still enter FREE by calling, texting, emailing or stopping by the office and asking to be entered by 2 PM TODAY, October 2.

No appointment or purchase necessary.

Mostly, we just want to see you.

Come celebrate 28 years with us.

Dr. Carlson & Terri

No purchase necessary. A purchase will not increase your chances of winning. One entry per person. Four different winners will be randomly selected from the eligible entry pool.

After 28 years in practice, I've changed my mind about a few things.

One of the biggest?

Getting someone out of pain isn't enough.

Don't misunderstand me. When something hurts, relief matters. A lot.

But I've watched too many people finally feel better and immediately go back to the same life, the same habits and the same physical limitations that got them into trouble in the first place.

Feeling better and being better aren't always the same thing; actually, I cannot think of an instance where it WAS the same thing.

That's a big part of why the way I practice has evolved over the years.

I don't just want you asking:

“Does it still hurt?”

I want you asking:

Can I move better?
Am I stronger?
Do I trust my body again?
Can my body keep up with the life I still want to live?

Pain may be what gets your attention.

Relief is the beginning. Rebuilding is the goal.

And after 28 years, that's still the work I love doing.

Dr. Carlson

P.S. We're getting very close. 🎉 AFC Patient Appreciation Week is October 5–9. Birthday Dessert & Candy Bar + four different patients will each win $250.

I don't think I've ever celebrated a birthday quite like this one. 😂

AFC turns 28 in October.

And when we started talking about how to celebrate, I kept coming back to one thing:

I don't want this birthday to be about AFC.

I want it to be about the people who made 28 years possible.

Because you don't stay in practice for nearly three decades because of a logo, a building or a clever marketing campaign.

You stay in practice because people trust you....

They come back.
They bring their spouses.
Then their kids.
Sometimes their parents.
They send their friends and coworkers.

And one day you look up and realize you've been allowed to be a small part of people's lives for 28 years. That is an HONOR!

That's worth celebrating.

So during AFC Patient Appreciation Week, October 5–9, we're giving away $1,000 as a thank-you to our patients.

🎁 4 different patients will win
💰 $250 each

Plus there will be balloons and a Birthday Dessert & Candy Bar because apparently once Terri got involved, FOOD is a Love Language😂

If you've had an AFC visit between July 1 and September 30, you're already entered.

Current and former AFC patients 18+ who haven't been in during that time can still enter for free. Just call, text, email or stop by the office and ask to be entered by Friday, October 2 at 2 PM.

No appointment or purchase necessary.

Mostly, I just hope you'll stop in and let us celebrate you.

Thank you for 28 years.

Dr. Carlson

No purchase necessary. A purchase will not in

Which logo do YOU remember? 👀

If you've been with me long enough, you may remember that AFC wasn't always AFC.

1998: Renaissance Chiropractic
2015: Active Family Chiropractic
2025: The AFC AZ you know today

Apparently after 28 years, even a chiropractic office goes through a few adjustments. 😉

The names changed.
The logos changed.
The office location changed, several times.
And over 28 years, I certainly changed.

But the reason behind all of it hasn't.

Helping people get back to doing the things their body was making harder than it should be.

And somewhere along the way, many of you became much more than names on a schedule.

You've brought me your spouses, kids, parents, friends and coworkers. You've shared your weddings, babies, grandbabies, vacations, new jobs and retirements with us.

Some of you have been here through two logos.

And some of you may actually remember all three.

So now I want to know:

Which one do YOU remember?

Tell me in the comments. 👇

These three logos represent 28 years of people trusting me with their care.

And that's exactly why we're celebrating YOU during AFC Patient Appreciation Week, October 5–9.

🎉 Birthday Dessert & Candy Bar
🎁 4 patients will each win $250

Thank you for being part of the story.

PAIN ISN’T ALWAYS THE FIRST WARNING.
Sometimes your body starts adapting long before something hurts enough to get your attention.

1. YOU MOVE DIFFERENTLY.

You turn your whole body instead of your neck. You avoid reaching overhead. Your stride gets shorter. You find another way to bend.

2. ONE SIDE DOES MORE.

You shift onto the same leg. Favor one side on the stairs. Push yourself up with one arm. Your body starts moving work away from somewhere else.

3. SIMPLE MOVEMENTS NEED A WORKAROUND.

Getting out of a chair requires your hands. Putting on your shoes has become a production. You avoid getting on the floor because getting back up isn’t quite as easy as it used to be.

Your body is remarkably good at adapting.

But getting good at the workaround doesn’t mean the problem went away.

After 28 years in practice, this is one thing I wish more people understood:

Don’t just pay attention to what hurts. Pay attention to what IS CHANGING:

How you move.

What you’ve stopped doing.

What has gotten harder.

Because the goal isn’t simply to hurt less.

It’s to have a body CAPABLE of carrying the life you want to live.

And speaking of 28 years...

🎉 AFC Patient Appreciation Week is October 5–9.

We’re celebrating the people who made those 28 years possible: YOU.

Birthday Dessert & Candy Bar + 4 patients will each win $250.

You’re invited.

August is coming with its own plans. School schedules, the last trips, the season winding up not down. Walk into it with the structure handled. This week's openings are on the books now.

07/29/2026

The best version of the day after: nothing to report. You played, you gardened, you drove home, and Monday was just Monday. That's not luck. That's structure. Get yours checked before the next weekend asks.

07/28/2026

There's a lot of summer left. The goal was never just a quieter back. It's the next round, the next hike, the next league night with people you like. That's what we're actually in the business of. Book before August books you.
