Carrick institute treatments
 
I was wondering if anyone if familiar with the treatments available at the Carrick Institute, at Life University in Atlanta?

There was an article in Maclean's magazine (titled "Rebuilding Crosby's brain- a portion of the article is available online) recently that outlined the treatments Sidney Crosby received at the Carrick institute, which was founded by Ted Carrick, chiropractic neurology.

The treatments seem to be tailored to each individual but are a combination of "whole-body gyroscope" and various eye exercises etc. The patients seen at the Carrick lab seem to range from post-concussion to brain damage to stoke patients. I guess Crosby was able to make great gains in his recovery while receiving this treatment.

If anybody has information to share, good or bad, that would be great.

The Maclean's article has an interesting statement.

<The wait list to see Carrick can be as long as three years, though in some cases, such as with Crosby, patients can be expedited. >

Puts his clinic into perspective.

<A little-known treatment by a Canadian-born chiropractor to the stars may be the key to his comeback>

It sounds like you need connections to be seen by Carrick.

His treatments sure sound interesting.
