Emerson Chiropractic’s Story

The practice was founded back in 1995, originally under the name of Cerefin Family Chiropractic. Dr. Michael Cerefin opened the clinic after graduating from Life Chiropractic College. Dr. Mike’s athletic career and interest in the healthcare field eventually led him to the Chiropractic Profession. He enjoyed a long career practicing and operating Cerefin Family Chiropractic for 24 years. Dr. Mike currently resides and continues to practice in Denver, Colorado.

In 2018, Dr. Mike hired Dr. Christian Carter as an associate with the goal to eventually have him take over the practice. Dr. Christian spent the next year and a half learning from Dr. Mike everything involved in running a successful Chiropractic Health Office. In November of 2019, Dr. Christian Carter took over the practice and is continuing on what Dr. Mike originally started. The practice has evolved into its next chapter of life becoming: Emerson Chiropractic.

We are conveniently located on the southside of Indianapolis right off of Emerson Ave just north of St. Francis Hospital between Stop 11 and Southport Rd. We have been serving the Indianapolis, Greenwood, Southport, Franklin, and surrounding communities for over 30 years.
