Frederick Robert "Ted" Carrick (born February 26, 1952) is a chiropractor and founder of Carrick Institute for Graduate Studies in Cape Canaveral, Florida. He was also the founder of Carrick Brain Centers,[2] which changed its name to Cerebrum Health Centers in October 2015 after a leadership change and Carrick's separation from the company.[3]
Early life, education and career
Born in Toronto and raised in Calgary, Edmonton, Winnipeg, and other locations related to his father's military service,[1] Carrick earned a doctor of chiropractic from Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College and a PhD in education from Walden University's distance learning program.[1][4][5]
Carrick has previously been a professor at Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, Missouri, Parker College of Chiropractic in Dallas, Texas,[6] and in 2012, he joined the clinical faculty at the LIFE Functional Neurology Center of Life University in Marietta, Georgia. He left the position at LIFE after only one year.
Several professional athletes such as Sidney Crosby, Jonathan Toews, Claude Giroux,[7][8] and Alexandre Pato have sought chiropractic treatment from Carrick,[9] and in November 2014, radio show host Glenn Beck stated that doctors at the Carrick Brain Center diagnosed and cured him of adrenal fatigue.[2][10]
Publications and appearances
Carrick has published various papers in chiropractic-related journals, such as two articles in the Journal of Manipulative and Physiological Therapeutics.[11][12] His first paper, published in 1983, was entitled "Cervical radiculopathy: the diagnosis and treatment of pathomechanics in the cervical spine." In 1997, he published his second, and possibly more controversial article,[13][14] addressing changes in patients' brain functioning by mapping blind spots before and after manipulating their cervical spine (neck).[15]
Carrick appeared in the PBS documentary, Waking up the Brain[16] and was interviewed by Juju Chang when ABC's Nightline investigated chiropractic neurology.[17] He participated in a press conference regarding his observations and prognosis of Pittsburgh Penguin, Sidney Crosby's condition[1] and he discussed concussions on The Doctors Show.
