In 1993, the state of North Carolina opened the door to the legal practice of alternative health care by a medical physician when it added a statute to its laws giving physicians the right to explore ALL types of treatments in order to best serve the needs of their patients. This change in the lawhas made theCarolina Center possible.

The Carolina Center was founded by Dr. John Pittman, whose work in the emergency room setting led to his realization of how lifestyle issues, especially diet and nutrition, played significant roles in the health of patients. It was during this time that Dr. Pittman began exploring avenues of incorporating holistic medicine with nutrition into a clinical medical practice, and he began attending conferences and training courses in nutritional and metabolic medicine. He also began working with well known holistic physicians around the country, learning many things about healthcare that were not taught in school or residency. This intensive period of study culminated in the opening of the Carolina Center in 1994 as a facility in which multiple healing modalities could be brought together to help patients with chronic degenerative illnesses.

The Carolina Center operates as an outpatient treatment facility that accommodates patients who are experiencing a wide variety of medical conditions. We utilize a variety of complementary therapies to create an environment where cellular vitality and your wellness can be efficiently restored.
