Colonic Hydrotherapy
If you’re looking to kick-start a healthier lifestyle, build your energy levels, boost your metabolism, improve skin tone or assist with a weight loss program then these are just a few of the benefits of colonic hydrotherapy.
Important Information to Digest:
Colonic Irrigation, Colonic Hydrotherapy, Colon Cleanse or simply “a Colonic” are all terms used to describe what is fast becoming one of the most sought after health treatments in Europe.
Colonics can help with: IBS, diverticulitis, parasites, candida, allergies, intolerances, irregular bowel movements, low energy levels, depression, skin problems and many other conditions.
How Can Colonic Hydrotherapy/Irrigation Help?
Colonic Hydrotherapy/Irrigation is the process whereby filtered water flows into the colon to soften and remove the impacted waste matter that has built up over time.
One colonic is the equivalent to 20-30 bowel movements.
Colonic Hydrotherapy/Irrigation benefits:
-Promotes normal bowel function
-Increased energy levels
-Helps with weight loss program
-Improved metabolism
-Improved circulation
-Feel ‘lighter’ and ‘clean’ afterwards
-Bloated feeling reduced
-Reduced toxins in the body
-Improved absorption of essential nutrients
-Strengthens the immune system
-Toning of the abdomen
-Improved digestion
-Better skin tone
Our digestive system has a lot to do with the way we feel, how we look and our general well-being. Your digestive system can easily become imbalanced through poor diet, stress, lack of exercise, choice of drink and general lifestyle.
Food that isn’t digested fully ends up in the colon where it builds up over time. This causes the digestive system to slow down, be less efficient and back-up. A backed-up colon is also a breeding ground for unhealthy bacteria, causing a build up of toxins in the body.
FAQ’s:
Q: Is Colonic Irrigation safe?
A: Yes. At United Care we use state of the art equipment and all equipment is sterile and disposed of after every treatment. During your consultation our doctors/nurses will answer any questions you have and also ensure that colonic irrigation is right for you. If there are any concerns the procedure will not take place until both parties are happy.
Q: How frequently do I need Colonic Irrigation?
A: We normally recommend a course of 3 treatments and that they are carried out within a 10 day period, as leaving it longer will reduce the effectiveness of the treatments.
After you have completed your course of treatments, it would normally be 6 months before we would recommend a maintenance session, depending on your condition, of course, this is why we have a detailed client intake form, and every client will be assessed and treated according to their specific needs.
Q: Is it painful?
A: No. There is an unusual sensation at the beginning but as you relax you will become completely at ease with the treatment.

Dr. Carrey Tiller DC
Dr. Carrey A. Tiller’s journey into chiropractic began long before she ever stepped into chiropractic school.
Growing up in a small town in Central Illinois, sports and an active lifestyle were a major part of her life. But like many people, she experienced her own health struggles, including migraine headaches, low back pain, and insomnia. After finding relief through chiropractic care, she became fascinated by the body’s ability to heal and knew she wanted to help others experience the same transformation.
Today, Dr. Tiller combines her education from Palmer College of Chiropractic with years of clinical experience helping people move better, feel better, and live more active lives. She has worked with a diverse range of patients, from desk workers and busy parents to competitive athletes, children, active adults, and seniors. Her experience includes caring for individuals dealing with headaches, migraines, sciatica, disc-related conditions, mobility restrictions, and the everyday stresses that can interfere with health and performance.
As the founder of StretchPros and a lifelong advocate for movement-based health, Dr. Tiller believes that true healthcare is about more than treating symptoms. Her approach focuses on listening carefully, understanding the individual behind the condition, and creating a plan that helps patients take an active role in their own recovery and well-being.
One of her favorite sayings is that your first appointment is not about what brought you into the clinic—it’s about the day you decided to take control of your health and move forward.
Patients often describe Dr. Tiller as approachable, honest, and encouraging. She believes every patient deserves to be heard, respected, and educated about their health so they can make confident decisions for themselves and their families.
When she’s not caring for patients, you’ll likely find her strength training, enjoying the outdoors, dancing, exploring different cultures through food, or spending time with her greatest accomplishment—her son.
Whether you’re seeking relief from pain, looking to improve your performance, or simply wanting to live a healthier life, Dr. Tiller’s goal is simple: to help you become the healthiest version of yourself.
