Welcome To Better Health Through Chiropractic

Exceptional chiropractic care in Fruitland, MD

Your journey with us will start with your warm reception from our office manager, Debbie, followed by checking of your vitals with our gregarious CA, Maria. You will then have a sit down talk with Dr. Carey with focused attention to your reason for seeking our care. Dr. Carey welcomes any previous diagnostics* you can bring to help in her diagnosis. She will then perform pertinent physical, neurological, orthopedic and postural/chiropractic exams (wear your good underwear, you will be in a gown).
*Further diagnostics/imaging may be ordered on your first visit, if Dr. Carey deems it necessary.

Chiropractic is All-Inclusive. We Treat the Whole Person. 

We do so through the art of chiropractic, which is the adjustment and use compliments such as physiotherapy and nutrition. 
The Chiropractic adjustment is unique to our profession. This technique requires years of training and involves specificity in treating the spine and extremities. Chiropractic means “by hand” and addresses misalignments/ lack of motion. This treatment is tempered in my office, depending on the patient. An infant, osteoporotic patient or a patient that has had previous spinal/surgery or joint replacement will be treated much differently than other patients.
We proudly service Salisbury, Fruitland, all of Wicomico, Worcester and Somerset counties.
Meet our doctor
Dr. Marisa Carey D.C.
Chiropractor
When in grade school, Dr. Carey sustained a severe spinal injury (she loved to climb trees). Her mother sought care from orthopedist to pediatrician with no relief of her headaches and pain.
Nina (her mom) took her to her chiropractor Dr. Josephine Cox. In one treatment, Marisa was pain free. She knew at that very moment that chiropractic was her destiny in life. 
Dr. Carey has been practicing for over 30 years with the intent of fully optimizing her patients health. Dr. Carey was born and raised on the eastern shore. She received her B.S. in Biology from Salisbury State College in 1987 and her Doctor of Chiropractic from New York Chiropractic College in 1993 where she graduated valedictorian.

Still unsure about chiropractic care?

Let’s clear up some common misconceptions.

MYTH:
"ONCE YOU START, YOU CAN’T STOP."

Not true. At Carey Chiropractic PA, the goal is lasting relief—not dependency. Whether you’re dealing with an injury or chronic pain, Dr. Marisa Carey D.C. creates a plan to reduce symptoms and help prevent future issues through smart, proactive care.

MYTH:
"IT’S NOT BACKED BY SCIENCE."

Not true. Modern chiropractic care is grounded in anatomy, neuroscience, and decades of peer-reviewed clinical research.

MYTH:
"IT’S ONLY FOR BACK PAIN."

Not true. Chiropractic care may also help manage headaches, sciatica, joint issues, and posture-related concerns—depending on your specific needs.

MYTH:
"CHIROPRACTIC CARE ISN’T SAFE."

Not true. At Fruitland Office, our licensed chiropractors use evidence-based techniques designed with patient safety and comfort in mind.
