Dr. Carter was born and raised in Mount Airy, Maryland. He graduated from the University of Maryland, College Park, with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology. Dr. Carter then received his Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida, where he graduated as Valedictorian.
While playing competitive basketball in his junior year of High School, he sustained an injury to his low back which significantly impacted his mobility and performance. This prompted him to seek chiropractic treatment for the first time. Working with a chiropractor and engaging in strength training were crucial in his recovery and allowed him to continue playing the sport he loved. This experience sparked his interest in chiropractic and wanting to help others return to their favorite activities free from pain.

Dr. Nina was born and raised in Newton, Massachusetts. She earned her bachelor's degree in Kinesiology from the University of Maryland before pursuing her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Palmer College of Chiropractic in Port Orange, Florida.
Dr. Nina’s personal journey with chiropractic care began at the age of 11 when she was diagnosed with scoliosis and wore a back brace. After two years of wearing the brace, she was released from orthopedic care. Her back pain began to gradually increase over the years, and as time went on it began to interfere with daily activities including running, lifting weights, and sitting. Determined to overcome these challenges, Dr. Nina designed her own rehabilitative program, combining chiropractic care, rehab exercises, and strength training to address her pain.
“I love working with all patients, whether they’re dealing with stubborn chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or simply seeking to improve their overall health. I have a passion for women’s health and take pride in helping women stay active and confident at any stage in life with an active and whole- body approach customized to their individual needs!”
