Chiropractic

• Dr. Brent MacNeil, DC

Chiropractic is the care and treatment of the musculoskeletal system. Chiropractic care is a safe, effective drug-free approach to reducing and relieving pain occurring from back and neck injury, headaches, repetitive strain, unhealthy ergonomics, job-related pain, or even stress. Dr. MacNeil maintains a holistic approach to chiropractic care by employing techniques such as: spinal manipulation/mobilization, flexion-distraction, (electro)-acupuncture, soft tissue work, pain counseling, rehabilitation, and education.

Chiropractic as a Holistic Treatment
Pain, stiffness, fatigue, tingles in your limbs and other symptoms are signs that your body is not working correctly. Your brain, spinal cord, and all your nerves control how your body works. Physical, chemical or emotional stresses produce postural changes, shifting your center of balance and putting more strain (stress) on your structure. The nerves traveling to your limbs and organs may also be affected, leading to a
change on function and symptoms. Muscles contract, spinal joints become less mobile, and blood flow is affected, irritating nearby nerve fibers. This irritating stress sets the stage for health problems. Poor posture alone increases your chances of several health conditions including pain (spine, shoulder, wrist, headache, leg, knee) gastro-intestinal and respiratory problems. A thorough examination helps chiropractors find these restrictions. Applying a precise force to stuck spinal joints helps the body correct itself. Proper nutrition, stress control and daily activities support these adjustments. Health usually returns as repeated visits restore nervous system integrity. That's why chiropractic care has helped millions get well and stay well.

Many future injuries can be prevented with regular chiropractic adjustments and education.

Stress:
Dr. MacNeil's approach recognizes that removing the stressors that cause pain involves the physical and mental. The physical aspect involves a combination of approaches to allow the body to heal. The mental part is in becoming aware of the causes of pain and taking steps to prevent is from returning. Dr. MacNeil will develop an individualized treatment plan, which will be re-assessed regularly.
