Treatments 

Lower back pain is one of the most common musculoskeletal complaints. It often results from muscle or tendon strain that affects spinal alignment, but can also be caused by arthritis, structural issues, or disk injuries. Chiropractic care can help relieve pain, improve function, and support long-term spinal health.

Neck pain, or cervicalgia, can vary in duration from a few days to several years. Causes include muscle strain, poor posture, stress, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, herniated discs, pinched nerves, and other health conditions. Treatment focuses on reducing discomfort, improving mobility, and addressing the underlying cause.

Mid-back pain, or thoracic pain, can result from poor posture, muscle strain, spinal misalignment, or injury. Although less common than neck or lower back pain, it can significantly affect daily activities and mobility. Chiropractic care focuses on relieving discomfort, improving spinal alignment, and addressing the underlying causes to restore proper function.

Chronic headaches or migraines can significantly impact daily life. Dr. McHan’s treatment approach focuses on reducing the frequency and severity of these episodes, helping you regain control and improve your quality of life.

Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) pain affects the jaw joint and surrounding muscles, often causing discomfort while chewing, speaking, or yawning. Common symptoms include jaw stiffness, clicking, or popping. Chiropractic care and targeted therapies can help reduce pain, improve jaw function, and address contributing factors such as muscle tension, misalignment, or stress.

Muscle pain, or myalgia, can stem from tight or strained muscles, misaligned joints, or overuse. Chiropractic care, combined with targeted muscular therapies such as Active Release Techniques (ART) and Post-Isometric Relaxation (PIR) stretching, can help restore flexibility, alleviate discomfort, and improve overall function.

Joint pain can affect any joint in the body and may arise from various causes, including arthritis, injury, poor posture, or repetitive strain. Pain levels can range from mild to severe. Dr. McHan’s goal is to identify the root cause and provide targeted treatments to restore comfort and mobility.

Sciatica occurs when irritation, compression, or inflammation affects nerves running from the lower back down the legs. Common causes include muscular tension, spinal misalignment, arthritis, or disc issues. While usually not serious, chiropractic care can help relieve pain, reduce nerve irritation, and improve mobility.

Arthritis is a common condition, particularly in individuals over 50, that causes joint pain, stiffness, and inflammation. Dr. McHan will work with you to identify the type of arthritis you have, understand its underlying causes, and develop a personalized treatment plan to manage your symptoms effectively.

Extremity pain refers to discomfort in the arms, legs, hands, or feet. It can result from joint issues, muscle strain, nerve irritation, injury, or overuse. Proper assessment is key to identifying the underlying cause, and targeted chiropractic care can help alleviate pain, restore mobility, and improve overall function in the affected extremities.

Whiplash occurs when sudden movement or force strains the neck and spine, potentially affecting muscles, ligaments, nerves, and bones. While most common in motor vehicle accidents, whiplash can result from other injuries as well. Chiropractic care helps alleviate discomfort by addressing muscle and joint irritation associated with the injury.
