Dr. Charney Slater takes a holistic approach to chiropractic care, focusing on more than just spinal misalignments. As a holistic chiropractor, he recognizes that spinal disrelationships can contribute not only to pain but also to key bodily functions such as digestion, detoxification, and elimination. By addressing these underlying connections, Dr. Slater works to restore balance throughout the body, helping to normalize essential processes and promote overall health.

Through a comprehensive holistic chiropractic analysis and adjustment, his approach goes beyond symptom relief – it supports the body’s natural healing abilities. Patients often experience a reduction in pain, improved structural integrity, and an overall enhancement in their well-being. Whether you’re seeking relief from discomfort or looking to optimize your body’s function, Dr. Slater’s holistic chiropractic care offers a path to better health from the inside out.

Here’s what one of Dr. Charney’s patients had to say about their experience with him…

“I am writing to share positive experience and recommendation for Dr Charney in treating my neck and back pain. Although a traditionally trained chiropractic license hangs in his office, an appointment with him is anything but traditional. There’s no ‘cracking’, which for me was of great interest, especially when working with my neck. Dr. Charney’s holistic approach has roots in Applied Kinesiology and uses muscle response testing (MRT) to identify what areas of the spine/body are in need of support, and to guide treatment. It’s kind of an ‘inside out’ chiropractic experience that, for me, has increased my mobility and eliminated discomfort/pain in as little a single session. Dr Charney’s holistic skills and approach are as interesting as they are effective. If you’re looking for an alternative to manual neck/back adjustments, this is definitely something worth checking out!”

Q: What’s your favorite thing about being a chiropractor?

A: When somebody comes in to see me and they’ve been to every doctor and every hospital and maybe they’ve even had spinal surgery, which I hope is not the case, they have become resigned to their situation and are nearing hopelessness. And then, after their first real adjustment, there is a change. Maybe they still have pain, but for the first time, it’s better. Maybe it’s even gone. Yeah, a lot of happy tears have been shed in my office over the years. And I’ve had to learn to let myself be hugged.

Q: What’s your favorite healing story? 

A: My first week in practice in Germany, I barely knew the language. A young mother came in with a three-day old infant and she’s a little bit frazzled! The infant has not pooped since it was born. I don’t have any kids, so all this is a mystery to me. You could have told me that they don’t poop for the first six months, and I’d need to check. After some examination and questioning, I saw that the child could not turn his head to the right at all. So I knew the problem must be his Atlas, the first Cervical vertebrae. When we are first born, the Atlas is the only bone in our bodies that is fully ossified or fully formed bone. All other bones are cartilaginous and in the process of becoming bone. I laid the child on the table (today I would lay him on his mother’s tummy), and with the tip of my finger, I gave a tiny adjustment, and instantly, the baby filled this diaper over and down the side of the table and onto the floor. At the same time, turning his head to the right, toward his mother. My secretary was in tears. The mother was in tears. I turned right around and walked to the next room where another patient was already waiting, knowing then, that this was my gift, and God’s purpose for me. And most of all that I was not going to clean up that mess!
