Optimizing Nervous System Health

Because the nervous system is the master controller of the body, the better your nervous system works, the better you’re going to function. It’s that simple.

Your bones protect your nervous system, but because you move, your spine has to move. If these vertebrae slightly move out of place, they will diminish that signal between point A and point B. Your goal is to have your nervous system working at 100%, which can help you be at your healthiest. That’s where chiropractic care shines.

The Health Benefits of Chiropractic

Being under regular chiropractic care may yield the following:

  • Pain relief
  • Less sickness
  • More energy
  • Improved sleep
  • Greater range of motion

I tell patients that what’s more important than what I do in the practice is what you do outside my doors. In addition to chiropractic care, people need to eat right, exercise, get good sleep, etc.

Common Techniques Used

Dr. McCauley will use whatever technique or techniques to best address each patient’s needs. Here are the methods he offers to patients:

This hands-on approach allows us to manually adjust your spinal bones into proper position.

With this method, a segmented drop table is used to provide a comfortable and purposeful adjustment.

Using the low force Activator® handheld instrument, we can provide precise, gentle adjustments on patients of all ages, from kids to seniors.

The purpose of this non-surgical method is to increase spinal motion and improve function by reducing disc bulges and herniations.

This decompression tool is used to stretch the back to release pressure from the vertebrae along the spine from top to bottom.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a prescription for some pain medication?

Unlike Medical doctors, Chiropractors don’t prescribe prescription medications. The goal of Chiropractors is to use the bodies own recuperative powers to heal itself. The better the body functions, the better you feel, thus the less your body has to rely on prescription medications.

Will you suggest exercises or other things I can do?

What’s always more important than what we do in the office is what you do outside the office. Proper activities of daily living are crucial to a speedy resolution to your problems. We will always educate our patients in proper stretching, proper lifting, and proper work and sleep positions.

Will I need ongoing chiropractic care once I start?

Chiropractic care is tailored to each patient’s unique needs. While some may find relief after a few visits, others with chronic issues may require ongoing care. Ultimately, the frequency of visits depends on your specific condition, lifestyle, and wellness goals. Some choose periodic visits for overall well-being, similar to dental check-ups.

Is a chiropractic adjustment painful?

Chiropractic adjustments are typically not painful. Most patients report feeling relief and increased comfort after an adjustment. Occasionally, there may be mild discomfort or soreness, but it’s temporary and usually subsides within a day or two.

How can chiropractic help with colic?

Chiropractic care can provide relief for colicky infants by addressing spinal misalignments or nervous system imbalances that contribute to their discomfort. Gentle adjustments can improve nerve function and reduce tension.

Will I receive an adjustment on my first visit to a chiropractor?

Whether you receive an adjustment on your first visit depends on your condition, examination findings, and the chiropractor’s assessment. Some patients may receive an adjustment during their initial visit, while others may require additional evaluation and testing before treatment begins.

Can individuals with a history of back surgery seek chiropractic care?

Individuals with a history of back surgery can often benefit from chiropractic care. Chiropractors can adjust their techniques and treatment plans to accommodate post-surgery conditions, focusing on areas not surgically altered. Collaboration with both chiropractors and surgeons is essential for coordinated care.

Massage Therapy

Therapeutic massage is a terrific complement to chiropractic care. Our two massage therapists provide excellent care and can help alleviate pain, increase circulation and more.
