A Macomb Township Chiropractic Frozen Shoulder SUCCESS Story In this episode, Dr. Chris shares Ramiro's remarkable success story after suffering from a debilitating frozen shoulder following a work-related injury. When Ramiro first came to Macomb Township Chiropractic, he could barely lift his left arm more than a few inches. Reaching overhead was nearly impossible, making it difficult to perform his job and complete everyday activities. He was also experiencing persistent neck and back pain that had continued for more than a year. His shoulder pain was so severe that he couldn't comfortably sleep on his left side. During his initial consultation, Dr. Chris McNeil performed a thorough examination and chiropractic X-rays. The imaging revealed multiple areas of spinal misalignment. Based on his findings, Dr. Chris developed a personalized care plan designed to improve spinal and joint function, mobility, and posture. Ramiro's Macomb Township Chiropractic Frozen Shoulder care included chiropractic adjustments to his neck, upper back, and shoulder region, computerized spinal decompression therapy, and postural rehabilitation. Additional therapies, including therapeutic massage and ice therapy, were also incorporated into his care. Ramiro remained committed to his treatment plan for six months—and the results were significant. His pain levels went from approximately 9 out of 10 down to 0. His shoulder, neck, and back pain were mostly resolved, and his shoulder mobility was dramatically restored. Most importantly, Ramiro could once again raise his arm well above his head without pain—something that had previously been nearly impossible. He was able to return to work and enjoy his everyday activities again with significantly improved comfort and mobility. In this episode, Dr. Chris also explains frozen shoulder, also known as adhesive capsulitis, including its common symptoms, how it can affect sleep and everyday activities, and why shoulder pain and restricted movement should be properly evaluated. Learn more about the approach used at Macomb Township Chiropractic, including Chiropractic BioPhysics®, chiropractic adjustments, postural rehabilitation, computerized disc decompression, instrument-assisted adjustments, therapeutic massage beds, and ice therapy. If you or someone you know is struggling with frozen shoulder, shoulder pain, neck pain, or back pain in Macomb Township, Michigan, Ramiro's story is an encouraging example of the importance of finding the right care and staying committed to a personalized treatment plan. Individual results vary. Ramiro's experience represents his individual response to care and is not a guarantee of results for other patients.

Wrestling Sports Injuries: Ivynn's Journey Back to the Mat In this episode, we share the inspiring story of Ivynn, a dedicated teenage wrestler who received treatment for with severe low back pain, hip pain, and neck pain wrestling injuries at Macomb Township Chiropractic, that had begun affecting both his wrestling performance and everyday life. As his wrestling season progressed, the physical demands of constant grappling, twisting, lifting, and training took a toll on his body. His pain became so severe that Ivynn said he "couldn't sit still." He was having difficulty fully participating in wrestling practices and competitions, and even sitting at school had become uncomfortable. His mother also noticed changes in his posture, including a visible tilt around his clavicle area. That raised concerns that there could be an underlying structural problem contributing to his symptoms. Ivynn came to Macomb Township Chiropractic, where Dr. Chris McNeil performed a comprehensive chiropractic evaluation and took X-rays to examine his spine and posture. The imaging revealed multiple spinal misalignments that were contributing to nerve irritation and symptoms affecting his neck, back, and hip areas. Dr. Chris developed a personalized treatment plan based on Ivynn's findings and his athletic goals. His care included specific chiropractic adjustments and postural rehabilitation designed to improve spinal alignment, mobility, and the function of the muscles supporting his spine. Over the course of approximately six months, Ivynn remained committed to his treatment plan at Macomb Township Chiropractic. As his spinal alignment and posture improved, his pain steadily decreased. By the end of his care, Ivynn reported that he was "completely better." He was able to return to the wrestling mat, compete without pain, work out comfortably, and enjoy his everyday activities without the limitations that had previously affected him. In this episode, we also discuss why wrestling can place tremendous stress on the lower back, hips, neck, shoulders, and spine, common symptoms athletes should watch for, and why persistent pain shouldn't simply be dismissed as part of playing a contact sport. We'll also explore how chiropractic care, spinal adjustments, postural rehabilitation, and other supportive therapies may help athletes address spinal and musculoskeletal problems and work toward returning to the activities they love. If you're a wrestler, parent, coach, or athlete dealing with persistent back, neck, hip, or nerve-related pain, Ivynn's story provides an important reminder: understanding what may be contributing to the problem is an important first step toward recovery.

Macomb Township Chiropractic Helps Dakota High School Wrestling Student With Back Pain Wrestling is one of the most physically demanding sports for young athletes. Constant grappling, twisting, lifting, takedowns, and sudden movements can place tremendous stress on the spine, hips, muscles, and supporting structures. In this episode, we share the story of Ivynn, a dedicated teenage wrestler who came to Macomb Township Chiropractic with  low back, hip, and neck pain that had progressively worsened throughout his wrestling season. At one point, Ivynn described his discomfort as being so severe that he "couldn't sit still." His pain was beginning to interfere not only with wrestling practices and competitions, but also with everyday activities such as sitting at school. His mother also noticed that something appeared to be off with his posture. There was a visible tilt around his clavicle area, raising concerns about his overall spinal alignment and biomechanics. Finding the Cause Ivynn underwent a comprehensive chiropractic evaluation with Dr. Chris McNeil, including chiropractic X-rays to evaluate the structure and alignment of his spine. The examination revealed areas of spinal misalignment that were consistent with the mechanical stresses and symptoms he was experiencing. Based on the findings, Dr. Chris developed a personalized care plan designed around Ivynn's condition and the physical demands of wrestling. His care included chiropractic adjustments and postural rehabilitation, with the goal of improving spinal alignment, restoring proper movement, and helping retrain the spine and supporting musculature. Six Months Later Ivynn remained committed to his care plan over the following six months and continued to make steady progress. As his posture and spinal alignment improved, the pain that had been interfering with his wrestling and daily activities gradually subsided. By the end of his care, Ivynn reported that he was "completely better" in the areas that had previously been bothering him. He was back on the wrestling mat, competing without pain, working out comfortably, and enjoying his everyday activities without the limitations he had experienced earlier in the season. Why Wrestling Can Lead to Injuries Wrestlers place extraordinary demands on their bodies. Repetitive bending, twisting, lifting, impact, and grappling can contribute to stress involving the lower back, hips, neck, muscles, ligaments, and joints. When pain develops, it can affect much more than athletic performance. It may interfere with sitting, bending, walking, sleeping, training, and even concentrating at school. That's why persistent pain in a young athlete shouldn't simply be ignored or considered something they have to "push through." A thorough evaluation can help identify contributing factors and determine an appropriate course of care. Listen to Ivynn's story and hear how, with the help of Macomb Township Chiropractic,  he went from struggling with pain during wrestling season to getting back on the mat and doing what he loves. This story reflects one patient's experience. Individual results with chiropractic care vary.

Dylan's Path to Pain-Free Football Performance Macomb Township Chiropractic, led by clinic director Dr. Chris McNeil, is proud to highlight the successful recovery and performance rehabilitation of Dylan, a local 18-year-old student-athlete who suffered from debilitating football and baseball sports injuries at Dakota High-school in Macomb Township, Michigan. Dylan was 18 years old when he came into our office dealing with pain that many football players deal with daily. A dedicated student and competitive player, he was active in football, but persistent pain in his shoulders, neck, mid back, and low back had begun to take a serious toll on both his athletic performance and everyday life. When he first visited our office, he rated his pain at an 8 out of 10, with even basic movements being difficult and uncomfortable. Like many athletes, Dylan tried to ignore the pain to continue playing, but it soon became clear that he needed help. His play was suffering as well as his ability to train, compete, and recover properly. Off the field, his daily activities, school performance, and sleep quality were all being negatively affected.   Play Video After a thorough evaluation and chiropractic x-rays, Dr. Chris found areas in his neck and back that were misaligned, contributing to the pain he was having. Dylan was put on personalized, chiropractic care plan focused on chiropractic adjustments to improve spinal alignment and restore mobility, and postural rehabilitation, to correct the root cause of his pain. This care also aimed to help decrease inflammation, improve overall function, and allow his body recover more efficiently. Dylan's improvement was significant. Over the course of treatment, his pain gradually diminished until it was essentially gone. Most importantly, he was able to continue playing football without restrictions, moving with improved flexibility and greater strength to avoid future injuries. Today, Dylan is feeling great and able to enjoy all his daily activities pain free. He is now attending college while continuing to move better, lift more effectively in the gym, and recover faster after workouts. More importantly, his sleep has improved significantly, allowing his body to heal properly to perform at its best. Dylan's experience is a great example of how chiropractic care can help football athletes overcome pain, restore function, and continue playing the game they love. At Macomb Township Chiropractic, we're proud to help athletes like Dylan stay healthy, strong, and performing at their peak. What are the symptoms of a football Injury? Football injuries involving the neck and back can cause a variety of symptoms depending on the severity of the impact. Common signs include neck stiffness, pain when turning or moving the head, and a limited range of motion. In the back, players may experience sharp or dull pain, muscle tightness, or discomfort that worsens with activity. Some injuries can also lead to radiating pain, numbness, or tingling into the shoulders, arms, or legs. In more serious cases, athletes may notice weakness or difficulty maintaining balance and stability on the field. What kind of problems arise from a football Injury? Football injuries can lead to a range of problems that affect both performance and daily life. Players may experience ongoing pain, swelling, stiffness, or reduced mobility in the affected area. Some injuries can also cause nerve-related symptoms such as numbness, tingling, or weakness in the arms or legs. If not properly treated, these issues may lead to decreased strength, limited athletic performance, and difficulty returning to play. In more severe cases, long-term damage or recurring injuries can develop, making it harder to stay active and compete safely. How does chiropractic help? Chiropractic care can help football-related injuries by improving spinal alignment and reducing stress on the joints, muscles, and nervous system. Adjustments help decrease pain and inflammation while restoring proper movement in the neck, back, and surrounding areas. This can improve mobility, flexibility, and overall function. Chiropractic care can also help relieve pressure on irritated nerves, which can reduce symptoms like pain, numbness, or tingling. Over time, it can support faster recovery and help athletes return to play with better strength and stability. What does Macomb Township Chiropractic offer? At Macomb Township Chiropractic, we specialize in helping athletes recover from sports injuries, with a strong focus on common football-related issues affecting the spine, shoulders, and neck. Dr. Chris specializes in Postural Rehabilitation, a corrective approach that focuses on restoring proper spinal alignment to address the root cause of pain rather than just the symptoms. By correcting posture and spinal imbalances, this care helps permanently reduce pinched nerves, chronic inflammation, and recurring strain from physical play on the field. Our office also features a state-of-the-art disc decompression table, which gently relieves pressure on the spine to help treat herniated discs and nerve compression. Together, these advanced treatments promote faster healing, improved performance, and long-term injury prevention for football players of all levels. Dr. Chris shot a short Youtube Video of Dylan detailing his football/baseball sports injury recovery at Macomb Township Chiropractic

When Mike first visited Macomb Township Chiropractic, he was suffering from a debilitating golf injury including low back pain, sciatic pain, and frequent headaches. He rated his pain between an 8 and 9 out of 10 and found it difficult to walk, sit, sleep comfortably, or participate in the activities he had been looking forward to after retirement. Even golfing—one of his favorite pastimes—had become impossible because of the constant pain, numbness, and nerve irritation traveling down his leg. Like many people living with chronic pain, Mike had been prescribed Tramadol by his physician. While the medication helped mask some of his symptoms, it did not address the underlying cause of his condition, and his quality of life continued to decline. At Macomb Township Chiropractic, Dr. Chris performed a comprehensive chiropractic examination, including advanced spinal X-rays, to evaluate the alignment and function of Mike's spine. The examination revealed multiple spinal misalignments that were placing abnormal stress on his joints, spinal discs, and nervous system, contributing to his persistent back pain, sciatica, and headaches. Based on these findings, Dr. Chris developed a personalized corrective care program designed specifically for Mike's condition. His treatment plan included a heated massage bed, spinal decompression therapy, muscle gun treatments, chiropractic adjustments, postural adjustments using a nerve gun, postural traction, and ice therapy. Spinal decompression therapy is a gentle, non-surgical treatment designed to reduce pressure on damaged spinal discs and pinched nerves. By carefully stretching the spine, the therapy helps improve disc health, decrease nerve irritation, and promote the body's natural healing process. Combined with corrective chiropractic care, the goal is not only to reduce pain but also to improve spinal alignment, restore proper function, and help patients return to the activities they enjoy. Mike responded quickly to treatment. After only six weeks of care, he reported a 100% improvement in his symptoms and no longer needed pain medication. As his treatment progressed over the following months, his mobility continued to improve, his sleep became more restful, and he was finally able to return to the golf course because of his sciatica and back pain golf injury relief treatments at Macomb Township Chiropractic. Today, Mike reports his pain consistently remains at only a 1 to 2 out of 10, and in a Macomb Township Chiropractic YouTube Testimonial video Mike says his golf game has improved dramatically. "My golf swing has never been better," he shared. Mike's story highlights the importance of identifying and correcting the underlying structural problems that often contribute to chronic back pain and sciatica rather than simply managing symptoms with medication. By addressing the source of the problem through corrective chiropractic care and spinal decompression therapy, he was able to regain his mobility, improve his quality of life, and enjoy an active retirement once again. Macomb Township Chiropractic provides comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans designed to help patients suffering from neck pain, back pain, sciatica, headaches, and other spine-related conditions regain their health, improve their function, and return to the activities they love.

When Mary first came to  Macomb Township Chiropractic , she was struggling with persistent neck and back pain that was making both work and everyday life increasingly difficult. As a dedicated mail carrier, her job required hours of walking, repeatedly getting in and out of her mail truck, carrying heavy bags, bending, lifting, and twisting throughout the day. Over time, the physical demands of her career had taken a significant toll on her body. In addition to her neck and back pain, Mary had been diagnosed with spinal stenosis, a condition in which the spaces within the spine narrow and place pressure on the spinal cord and surrounding nerves. This pressure can lead to symptoms such as pain, numbness, tingling, weakness, and reduced mobility. Mary's symptoms had become particularly concerning. She experienced sharp pain radiating down her arms and into her fingers, along with frequent tingling sensations. These symptoms not only affected her comfort but also raised concerns about her ability to continue performing her job and enjoying her daily activities. To determine the source of her problems, Dr. Chris performed a comprehensive consultation, examination, and chiropractic X-rays. The imaging revealed multiple areas of spinal misalignment in her neck and spine. These structural issues, combined with the effects of spinal stenosis, were contributing to nerve irritation and creating many of the symptoms Mary was experiencing. Based on her findings, Mary began a customized treatment program focused on improving spinal function and reducing stress on the affected nerves. Her care included specific chiropractic adjustments designed to improve spinal motion and alignment. She also participated in a postural rehabilitation program aimed at correcting long-standing postural abnormalities and helping her spine maintain a healthier position. Within just six weeks under care at Macomb Township Chiropractic, Mary began noticing meaningful improvements. Her pain levels had decreased, and the tingling in her arms and fingers was becoming less frequent. Encouraged by her progress, she remained committed to her care plan. As treatment continued, her results became even more impressive. Mary reported feeling "drastically improved." She was able to stand straighter, move more comfortably, and perform her daily activities with significantly less pain. Overall, she estimated that she felt approximately 90% better than when she first began care. Today, Mary is enjoying a much higher quality of life and is better able to handle the physical demands of her job. Her Macomb Township Chiropractic Youtube Video Testimonial demonstrates how a comprehensive approach that includes chiropractic care and postural rehabilitation can help individuals suffering from spinal stenosis, neck pain, back pain, and nerve-related symptoms regain comfort, mobility, and confidence in their daily lives.

Overcoming Shoulder Pain: Alonzo's Recovery Story Alonzo, better known as Zo, was struggling with persistent shoulder pain, neck, and upper back when he came to Macomb Township Chiropractic. After suffering a fall while working on the line at an automotive plant, everyday activities became difficult for him. Simple tasks like working, driving, sleeping, or even relaxing caused constant discomfort. To make matters worse, Zo had also begun experiencing frequent headaches that added to his daily challenges. During his first visit, Zo received a full consultation along with chiropractic X-rays. After reviewing the results, Dr. Chris discovered several misalignments in Zo's spine. These areas were placing significant pressure on the nerves traveling from his neck into his shoulders and upper back, contributing to the pain he was experiencing. On his intake form, Zo rated his pain levels around 7 out of 10. Dr. Chris created a personalized care plan designed to address Zo's specific condition. His treatment included regular chiropractic adjustments, spinal decompression therapy using our advanced disc decompression table, postural rehabilitation to restore proper spinal alignment, muscle stimulation using a therapeutic massage gun, and a combination of heat and ice therapy. Within just a few weeks, Zo began noticing real improvement. Follow-up X-rays showed positive changes, and he reported feeling significantly better. He was able to return to work and resume many of his normal activities. After six months of care, Zo shared that he felt "totally better." For the first time in a long time, he could comfortably raise his arms above his head and move his shoulders without pain. His pain levels had dropped to 0–1 out of 10, and he described visiting our office as one of the best decisions he had made shoulder pain relief at Macomb Township Chiropractic YouTube Video.

Debbie came to Macomb Township Chiropracti with chronic sinus headaches that were taking a toll on her daily life. She shared that her symptoms disrupted her sleep, made it hard to concentrate, and interfered with her ability to work and enjoy everyday activities comfortably. After starting chiropractic care at Macomb Twp CHiropractic, Debbie began received relief from her sinus headaches.  As her care continued, her sinus pressure and headaches decreased, allowing her to sleep more soundly, think more clearly, and move through her day with greater ease. Tasks that once felt challenging were no longer limited by constant discomfort. Today, Debbie reports feeling significantly better overall and is able to do much more without her sinuses and headaches getting in the way. Her experience is a great example of how chiropractic care can support the body's natural ability to function more efficiently by improving spinal alignment and nervous system health. As chiropractors, it's incredibly rewarding to see patients like Debbie regain comfort and improve their quality of life through natural, drug-free care. We Can Help With Sinus Headaches Sinus headaches can be frustrating, exhausting, and disruptive to everyday life. If you've experienced pressure around the forehead, eyes, cheeks, or nose—often paired with congestion or facial tenderness—you know how uncomfortable sinus issues can be. At Macomb Township Chiropractic, we regularly help patients who are looking for natural and effective ways to manage sinus-related discomfort and improve their overall well-being. What Causes Sinus Headaches? Sinus headaches are commonly linked to infections, allergies, or inflammation, but many people are surprised to learn that spinal alignment, posture, and muscle tension can also play an important role. When the neck and upper spine aren't moving or aligning properly, it can affect nerve communication, blood flow, and lymphatic drainage—key components of healthy sinus function. How Chiropractic Care Can Help One of the primary ways chiropractic care may help with sinus headaches is by addressing restrictions in the cervical spine (neck). Poor posture, stress, repetitive movements, and extended screen time can all contribute to stiffness and misalignment in this area. These issues may increase tension in surrounding muscles and nerves, potentially worsening sinus pressure and head pain. Gentle chiropractic adjustments and postural traction are designed to improve alignment, reduce tension, and support the body's natural healing and self-regulating processes. Poor Posture and Sinus Headaches Posture correction is another important part of care. Forward head posture—common with desk work and smartphone use—places added stress on the neck and upper spine. Over time, this strain may contribute to chronic headaches, including those associated with sinus discomfort. At Macomb Township Chiropractic, we educate patients on simple posture strategies and ergonomic adjustments they can use at home and at work to reduce strain and support long-term relief. If sinus headaches are impacting your daily life, it may be time to look beyond temporary solutions. Chiropractic care offers a natural, drug-free approach focused on improving function, reducing tension, and supporting your body's ability to heal itself. At Macomb Township Chiropractic, our goal is to help you breathe easier, feel better, and get back to enjoying life—without constant head pressure holding you back.

When Kathy came into Macomb Twp Chiropractic, she was dealing with the painful aftermath of a fall from her horse. What started as an accident quickly became a life-limiting problem. She was experiencing pain in her back, neck, and ribs, along with hip pain and frequent headaches. Beyond the discomfort, the injuries were affecting her balance, flexibility, daily activities and—most importantly to her—her ability to ride her horse comfortably. Kathy mentioned she did rehab for about six months, but it never helped the "deep" pain she continued to feel. As an active rider, Kathy found it frustrating that everyday movements felt restricted and unstable. Tasks that once felt natural now required extra effort, and riding became uncomfortable and difficult. She knew she needed help not just to reduce the pain, but to restore her mobility. At Kathy's first visit to our office, she rated her pain levels at 7's out of 10 on our pain scale, and Chiropractic x-rays showed misalignments in her spine. Dr. Chris explained to Kathy we would focus on addressing the root causes of her symptoms rather than just masking them. Through a personalized chiropractic care plan that included postural rehabilitation, disc decompression on our state-of-the art disc decompression table, muscle gun stimulation, and heat and ice therapy, we worked to improve Kathy's spinal alignment, reduce inflammation, and restore proper alignment to the affected areas. Over time, Kathy began to notice real changes—less pain, improved balance, better flexibility, and fewer headaches. Today, Kathy is almost completely pain-free and back to doing everything she loves. She's riding her horse again, told us she has better posture, more flexibility, and even noticed her horse is riding more level due to her improved posture. She is living her life without the constant reminder of her injury. Testimonials like Kathy's are why Dr. Chris got into Chiropractic. Chiropractic care isn't just about pain relief—it's about helping patients regain function, confidence, and the freedom to live fully.  You can watch Kathy's YouTube video testimonial  on Macomb Twp Chiropractic YouTube page. Falls happen when a person unexpectedly loses balance or stability, often due to slipping, tripping, or misstepping on uneven surfaces. They can be caused by factors such as wet floors, poor lighting, obstacles, dizziness, fatigue, or sudden movements. When a fall occurs, the body may be injured in various ways, ranging from minor bruises and scrapes to more serious injuries like sprains, fractures, or head trauma. Falls can significantly affect the spine by placing sudden force on the neck or back, which may damage bones, discs, muscles, or nerves.   What are the Symptoms you have after a Fall? Symptoms after a fall can include: pain or tenderness, bruising, swelling, stiffness, cuts or scrapes, headaches, and reduced range of motion. Some people may notice back or neck pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness if nerves are involved. Often delayed symptoms from a fall can occur days, weeks, even months later. These include persistent pain, fatigue, stiffness, and headaches. What Kind of Problems Arise from having a Fall? After a fall, several problems can arise, especially involving the spine and neck, due to the sudden impact and force placed on these areas. A fall can cause cervical or spinal fractures, herniated or bulging discs, and soft tissue injuries such as muscle strains or ligament sprains, leading to ongoing neck or back pain and stiffness. Nerve compression may develop, resulting in symptoms like numbness, tingling, weakness, or radiating pain into the arms or legs. In more serious cases, damage to the spinal cord can affect balance, coordination, or even bladder and bowel control. How Does Chiropractic Help? Chiropractic care can help people after a fall by addressing spinal misalignments, joint restrictions, and soft tissue injuries that may result from the impact. Gentle chiropractic adjustments and supportive therapies can help reduce pain, improve mobility, and restore proper alignment in the spine and neck, which can ease pressure on nerves and promote better healing and function.  What Does Macomb Township Chiropractic Offer?  At Macomb Township Chiropractic, we help patients recover after falls by using a natural, personalized approach focused on healing the spine and restoring function. Regular chiropractic adjustments help realign the spine and joints, reducing pain, stiffness, and nerve inflammation caused by the impact of a fall. Our state-of-the-art disc decompression table is used to gently relieve pressure on injured or bulging discs, supporting disc health and promoting natural healing. In addition, Dr. Chris specializes in postural rehabilitation, which focuses on correcting the alignment of the spine for long-term, lasting effects. Ice therapy and pulsating nerve gun therapy further supports recovery by reducing inflammation, relaxing tight muscles, and calming irritated nerves.

Debi came into Macomb Township Chiropractic with multiple health issues including neck and back pain, gerd, sleep apnea, sinus problems, and TMJ pain. Her pain levels at one point were a 7 out of 10 on a pain scale, and she was desperately looking for some type of relief for her TMJ pain. Many doctors will tell you it's often difficult to find the exact cause of TMJ Disorder, which can cause jaw and muscle pain. Debi told us all areas of her life were being affected with this issue including sleeping, working, and relaxing.  Debi received a full consultation on her first visit with us, as well as a complete set of Chiropractic x-rays. After the analysis, Dr. Chris found multiple areas in Debi's spine and her neck that were out of alignment. Debi's neck in particular was severely misaligned which caused her posture and shoulders to be uneven. This misalignment was putting severe pressure on the nerves coming out her neck and upper back, contributing to her TMJ disorder. Debi was put on a care plan geared to her problems which included regular Chiropractic adjustments, neck disc decompression on our state-of-the-art decompression table, postural rehab to help correct the shape of her spine, and muscle gun stimulation.  After just six short weeks of therapy, Debi's x-rays showed great improvement, and she marked on her re-evaluation form she was "totally better" in almost all areas she was having problems with when she came in. Areas of every day improvement Debi checked were: sleeping, working, house work, and activities. Eight months later, Debi was so happy that she had such TMJ Jaw Pain Relief at Macomb Twp Chiropractic that she agreed to do a video testimonial about her success in our office. She said she is feeling "amazing" today with zero complaints and so glad her TMJ pain is gone! You can watch Debi's testimonial on YouTube on how she achieved TMJ Jaw Pain Relief at Macomb Twp Chiropractic

Jacob came into Macomb Twp Chiropractic to Prevent Back and Disc Surgery. He Suffered with severe low back, hip, and sciatic pain after being in a car accident a few months before. He was ranking his pain level at a 10 out of 10 on our pain scale. He complained that he was barely able to walk, unable to stand, work, or drive, and was basically bed-bound. He was seeing his primary doctor and an orthopedic surgeon for his back pain, and they told him he had severe disc bulges and needed surgery as soon as possible, as that was the only solution for his severe pain. Nathan decided to try one last option before surgery, and come into our office. Dr. Chris took some x-rays and found multiple areas in his spine that were very misaligned, and the disc bulges that were pinching on many of the nerves in his back. Jacob was immediately put on a care plan which included regular chiropractic adjustments, treatment on our disc decompression machine, postural rehabilitation (to correct the shape of the spine), and muscle and nerve gun therapy. After just six short weeks, Nathans new x-rays showed improvement, and he stated on his re-exam form he felt "totally better" in almost all of the areas of pain he had when he first came in. Nathan continued with his treatments and today, just four months later, he is completely pain free and no longer is a candidate for back surgery. His life is back to normal and he is working again, driving, walking pain free, and sleeping with no issues. He did a video testimonial for us because he was so happy with the success he's had coming into our office and working with Dr. Chris. He actually stated he feels "stronger today than he did before his accident." Back surgery is always a risk, and many doctors will tell you that you have no other options to relieve the pain especially if you have disc bulges. But Nathan is a perfect example that you have other options! Chiropractic should always be a consideration before deciding upon surgery. Listen to Jacobs YouTube video testimonial on how he was able to prevent back and disc surgery at Macomb Township Chiropractic in Macomb County MI.

Tinnitus, sometimes referred to as ringing in the ears, is that annoying perception of sound that does not have an external source. It affects over 50 million people a year, and most doctors do not have a cure for it. While symptoms for tinnitus can vary from a constant ringing sound to buzzing or humming, these noises can become more than annoying for someone who's experiencing them.   Tinnitus can interfere with sleeping and concentrating, working and relaxing, and begin to take a toll on you mentally. Many people with long term tinnitus report having daily stress, headaches, and irritability, fatigue, dizziness, and memory issues. Many doctors try to find underlying causes for tinnitus such as earwax buildup or internal ear damage, but the vast majority only offer help to manage the symptoms. They suggest sound, antidepressants or anti-anxiety meds to reduce the emotional impact, or surgery, often with cochlear implants. But doctors do not address one of the main possible causes for tinnitus, which is nerve interference. Evidence, however, suggests misalignments in the neck or spine can result in nerve pressure that directly disrupts nerve signals to the auditory system. Nerve endings in the neck have connections to the hearing centers in the brain, and if nerves are pinched, normal signals are disrupted, causing inflammation, decrease of blood flow, and the potential for tinnitus. A Chiropractor named Dr. Chris McNeil, at Macomb Township Chiropractic, has successfully helped patients who have come into their office complaining about tinnitus. His office specializes in state-of-the art Chiropractic treatments that restore the normal alignment of the spine, to take the pinching and pressure off of the nerves that control the inner ear and hearing centers. Dr. Chris stated: "Tinnitus can be the result of underlying conditions",specifically "misalignments in the neck that cause nerve pressure". A recent patient named Phil received tinnitus relief therapy and treatments at Macomb Township Chiropractic. He complained that his tinnitus was taking over his life and he "couldn't think straight," and "couldn't do anything!" After a complete consultation and Chiropractic x-rays, Dr. Chris quickly noticed the multiple misalignments in Phil's neck that he believed were directly causing his headaches and tinnitus. With the help of regular Chiropractic adjustments and postural rehabilitation treatments, Phil reported after just six short weeks, his tinnitus was completely gone. So how exactly does a Chiropractor help tinnitus? At Macomb Twp Chiropractic they use specific and scientific Chiropractic rehab to realigns the spine using postural adjustments and traction to relieve any pressure on the nerves, as well as increasing blood flow to the brain and auditory system and improving overall nerve function.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is a condition that causes pain, numbness, and weakness in your fingers and hands. It often develops from repetitive hand or wrist motion, an injury, or certain medical conditions. Symptoms are caused by pressure on your median nerve, a long nerve that runs the length of your arm and enters a small passage in your wrist called your carpal tunnel. These symptoms usually develop slowly, but if not treated will worsen with time. Besides numbness and pain, you may develop tingling or burning sensations, shock-like feelings through your fingers, trouble holding onto things, and loss of feeling. You may develop more pain and muscle cramping, and muscles in your hand may degrade to a critical point where surgery is the only option for relief. While traditional treatments for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome include drugs, injections, and often surgery, Macomb Township Chiropractic, in Macomb County Michigan, wants you to know they can help with a healthier alternative. Dr. Chris McNeil has been a practicing Chiropractic for over twenty years, and has had success in treating patients with Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. Since pinched nerves are the primary culprit with Carpal Tunnel, Chiropractic sets out to relieve these pinched nerves in the spine and other parts of the body. Often misalignments in the spine can cause pain and numbness in the arms, wrists, and hands as nerves from the spine travel to all parts of the body. Manual adjustments to realign the spine relieve nerve pressure to all areas of the body, and direct manipulation to the median nerve can relieve many symptoms of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. One patient named Rachel found Carpal Tunnel Relief at Macomb Township Chiropractic . Rachel, a long time nail technician, was suffering for years with numbness and pain in her arms, wrists and hands. The pain was affecting her work and home life. Traditional methods of treatment were unsuccessful, so she paid a visit to see Dr. Chris. After Chiropractic x-rays were taken on Rachel, numerous areas in her spine showed misalignments, which Dr. Chris felt were directly affecting the pain and numbness she was having. She was put on a treatment plan which included chiropractic adjustments and postural rehabilitation (which works to retain the brain to realign the spine back to a more normal position). Just two short months later, Rachel reported improvement, and stated she was able to work longer hours at work again. After one year of treatment, Rachel states she is feeling "wonderful", is able to work again without pain or numbness, and it has greatly improved her home life. She boasted about her carpal tunnel pain and numbness relief at Macomb Township Chiropractic on a YouTube video testimonial.

Austin, a young man, came into Macomb Twp Chiropractic with  poor posture concerns a few years ago. He stated he had bad posture and noticed a distinct "hunch" in his back, which he felt he had most of his life. He was also having headaches, neck pain, and back pain, which was affecting his everyday life. Austin noted it was interfering with his working out as well as at his job. On his consultation sheet, he listed his pain levels in his back at 9's on a scale from 0-10, and his neck and headaches, at 5's.  After analyzing Austin's x-rays, Dr. Chris noted there was too much curve in his back, and his posture was out of alignment. The misalignments in his spine were also putting pressure on many of his nerves, which was contributing to the high level of pain Austin was experiencing. Dr. Chris created a care plan specific to Austin's needs, which included manual adjustments, postural traction therapy, muscle gun stimulation, and heat and ice therapy. The specified treatments were geared to not only correcting the misalignments in Austin's spine, but to correct the curve in his back to achieve a closer to normal position. After just four months of therapy, new x-rays were taken and improvement was noted by Dr. Chris. Austin said he felt he was about 60% better, and his numbers decreased to 5's from 9's. After one year, Austin's x-rays showed considerable change in the curve in his back, and Austin stated he was "totally better" in most areas. He noticed the change in his posture and only had slight back pain which he noted as 2's, on the scale from 0-10. His headaches were completely gone, and he was not experiencing any neck pain anymore.  Austin was able to achieve his goal of improving his posture at our office, and said he doesn't notice the once obvious hunch in his back. His life has improved by being able to work out again without pain, and get through the work day pain free. Watch Austin and Dr. Chris in his  Macomb Twp Chiropractic Chiropractor Poor Posture YouTube testimonial talking his improvements. Poor Posture usually stems from the spine being aligned in an unnatural position. It can be seen by having rounded shoulders, a forward head, or a slumped or hunchback. Poor posture can not only lead to pain and discomfort, but potential health issues. Poor posture can actually begin in childhood from spinal deformities such as scoliosis, or just from excessive slouching. Long hours in school or in front of a screen, carrying a backpack, or lack of physical activity contribute to poor childhood posture. Adults can acquire poor posture from extended periods of sitting at a computer at work, carrying heavy objects regularly, or weak core muscles. Poor posture at any age can lead to permanent structural changes and have long-term consequences. What are the Symptoms of Poor Posture? Symptoms of poor posture can manifest in many ways. These can include pain, stiffness, soreness, and additional physical issues. Common symptoms include pain in the neck, back, and shoulders, low back pain, headaches, muscle strain or stiffness, spasms, body aches, nerve compression, and decreased range of motion. What Kind of Problems Arise from Poor Posture? Many problems can arise if poor posture is not corrected. Besides pain, other issues can include: breathing difficulties, digestive issues, jaw pain, poor balance, decreased mood and mental health issues, reduced flexibility, fatigue, increased risk of falls, poor circulation, foot and knee problems, sleep disorder, and joint and muscle dysfunction. How Does Chiropractic Help? Chiropractic is one of the most effective ways to improve posture. Chiropractors can identify misalignments, assess your current posture, and use techniques including spinal adjustments to correct and restore proper alignment and posture. Chiropractic helps to balance muscle support and relieves pinched nerves, all which help facilitate proper posture and overall body healing. What Does Macomb Township Chiropractic Offer?

Your hips are an important part in maintaining almost everything you do on a daily basis.You need them to walk, support your weight, stand up, sit down, and maintain your balance. Your hip joint connects your thigh bone to your pelvis, which also connects to numerous muscles, tendons, ligaments, and nerves. Unfortunately, hip pain is one of the most common pains you can develop and may be caused by overuse, injury, bursitis, tendinitis, inflammation, or sciatica. Untreated hip pain can lead to several problems. These can include: difficulty with daily activities, potential for serious injury due to falling, balance and mobility issues, difficulty sleeping, and overall instability. Chronic hip pain can lead to arthritis, pain pills, injections and even surgery.   A Chiropractor in Macomb Township offers Hip Pain Relief Treatments that are a healthy alternative to a traditional medical medial approach. Dr. Chris McNeil, Macomb Township Chiropractic Chiropractor says, "there's a natural way to help with your hip pain." Instead of going for a "temporary fix" with pain medications or steroid injections, Dr. Chris says he will "find the source of your pain and eliminate it."
