Auto Accident Treatment Chiropractor in Detroit, Grosse Pointe, Harper Woods, and St. Clair Shores

Daily activities can be disturbed by spinal conditions due to auto accident injuries. At McNeil Chiropractic we strive to help you regain your health and independence after an auto accident.

Auto accidents injure hundreds of people day after day. Many of those people do not know where to turn after an auto accident and do not understand their rights after being injured in an auto accident. At McNeil Chiropractic we know that it can take up to several weeks to feel the full effects of an auto accident injury. We are here to help auto accident victims understand their rights and guide them on the right path to recovery. First, you must understand your rights after you have been injured in an auto accident. Since Michigan is a "no-fault" insurance state, your personal auto insurance carrier and the carrier of the other driver involved are responsible for recovery. Your auto insurance carrier is responsible for repairing your vehicle, paying for any lost wages, paying your medical bills, medical mileage, attendant care, and paying for help around the house if necessary. It is important to understand that your own auto insurance company is obligated to pay all reasonable and necessary medical bills and expenses associated with the injuries you suffered in your auto accident for the rest of your life. If you have a coordinated policy your primary health insurance carrier may be billed first and then your auto insurance carrier will pick up any unpaid balance. Also, if you are referred to a neurologist, orthopedic surgeon, neurosurgeon, or other doctor for a second opinion, treatment, or testing the auto insurance carrier will be required to pay those additional medical bills. Medically necessary treatment for injuries sustained in your auto accident should never be paid out of your own pocket. You will need to see a chiropractor after an auto accident to treat and correct the injury. Though you may have been to the hospital and a medical doctor you still need to see a chiropractor. Why? Because chiropractors specialize in the treatment and diagnosis of auto accident injuries. Usually, hospitals will check vital signs, make sure there are no life-threatening conditions and release the patient with a prescription for addictive pain-relief medication. They do not treat the underlying improper musculoskeletal bio-mechanics that can and often do lead to future pain. Dr. McNeil specializes in treating and correcting the many symptoms associated with auto accident injuries such as: neck pain, headaches, back pain, numbness in arms & legs, sciatica, disc bulge, hip pain, shoulder pain, dizziness, anxiety/tension, and many more.
At McNeil Chiropractic we specialize in auto accident injury. Our comprehensive rehabilitation services focus on structural correction of the spine and posture, not just pain reliefWe provide more than just chiropractic spinal adjustments, we also provide heat, ice, traction, massage, neuro-muscular therapy, and postural exercises. Once a spinal injury due to an auto accident is corrected, or is as near normal as possible, we will help you to maintain the correction in order to prevent the condition or injury from returning.

Chiropractor for Children Macomb/Shelby Township

Proper spinal hygiene is an important key to better health and being healthy should start at a young age. Chiropractors have been treating infants and children for many years. Chiropractic care has helped colic, ear infections, asthma, and more.

Why do children need chiropractic?

Many spinal problems seen in adults began as early as birth. More and more parents are now seeking chiropractic care for children.
First, let us discuss birth trauma. If you think about the incredible stress that happens to a baby and a mother during the birth process, it’s not surprising to see how they can be subluxated. Even so called 'natural' birthing methods can stress an infant's spine and developing nervous system. The resulting irritation to the nervous system caused by spinal misalignments (subluxations) can be the cause of many newborn health complaints. Chiropractic care helps correct these subluxations and allows the nervous system to operate normally and efficiently. For example, chiropractic care has helped with colic, tortecollis, constipation, ear infections, breathing problems, sleep disturbances and nursing problems in infants. Also, the best time to be checked for subluxations or misalignments is during childhood because this is when the nervous system grows and develops the most. The nervous system is needed for proper growth and development of children. It is best to catch any problems at an early age so they do not become serious conditions in the future.
Children experience trauma throughout childhood that affects them the same way traumatic events affect adults. For example, think about how many times a child falls while learning how to walk. Often, it’s at least 5 to 10 times a day. Think about how many times they fall a week, a month or a year. There’s no doubt about it, children’s bodies take a beating at this young age but, chiropractic care can help correct the damage of daily traumas before it becomes a serious problem in the future. The sooner the problem is fixed the better. A child's developmental milestones such as sitting up, crawling, and walking should be followed by chiropractic checkups. If neglected, the falls during this period can set the stage for scoliosis, "growing pains", and a weakened immune system. Chiropractic care is safe and effective for children and during pregnancy and provides a solid foundation for wellness. Many studies show the safety and effectiveness of chiropractic care for children and many parents report improvements in their child’s sleep, behavior and attitude, and immune system function.
As children begin to participate in regular childhood activities such as skating and riding a bike they will experience the trauma that is associated with these activities. It is important to have your child checked by a doctor of chiropractic frequently to maintain good spinal health and a healthy nervous system. If neglected, the subtle trauma of childhood will affect the future development of the spine leading to impaired nervous system function later in life.

Back Pain Relief Treatment: Macomb Chiropractic Clinic

Back pain affects 80% of Americans at some point in their lives. You may suffer from lower back pain, middle back pain, or upper back pain. The pain may also radiate down the legs or into the buttock. Do not continue to suffer with back pain.

There are many factors that may cause back pain such as improper sitting or lifting, over exertion, muscle strains, accidents, work injuries, and sports injuries. No matter what causes back pain the symptoms are usually the same. Symptoms of back pain include persistent aching or stiffness anywhere along the spine, sharp, stabbing pain in one area of the back, pain that radiates through the buttock and down the legs, or severe muscle spasms. These painful symptoms are often treated with pain medication. This form of treatment may temporarily relieve the pain but it does not correct the underlying problem that is causing back pain. Also, pain medications have many serious, harmful side effects. If you are experiencing numbness or tingling in your arms or legs, or if the pain increases when you cough or bend at the waist call your chiropractor immediately. Chiropractors are experts in the care of the bones, nerves, muscles, and connective tissues that make up 60% of your body. Studies show that chiropractic treatment is safer and more effective than the use of pain medication or back surgery. About 22 million Americans visit chiropractors annually and of these, 7.7 million are seeking relief from some form of back pain. Simple tests can determine if your back pain is a chiropractic condition. Tests include medical history, physical examination, diagnostic testing, and x-rays. The chiropractic approach to back pain is to help restore a normal motion and position of affected spinal bones through the use of hands-on spinal manipulation. Dr. McNeil uses specific postural adjustments, postural exercises, and postural traction to relieve pain and help others maintain a healthy spinal position. Heat, ice, and massage therapies are also used to help patients suffering from back pain. Dr. McNeil has helped many people suffering from back pain avoid surgery and achieve relief without the use of pain medications. If you are suffering from back pain or neck pain, headaches, sciatica, carpal tunnel, scoliosis, disc problems, or have been injured in an auto accident please contact Dr. McNeil to see how chiropractic care can help you.

Neck & Shoulder Pain Chiropractic Treatment Macomb, Shelby, Clinton Township

Chiropractors are experts in the care of the bones, nerves, muscles, and connective tissues that make up about 60% of your body. Neck and shoulder pain is a common complaint that many people suffer with that can be corrected with chiropractic care

Is it hard to look over your shoulder? Is there a constant pulling or throbbing pain in your neck? Is it difficult to turn your head from side to side? If so, you are one of the many people suffering from chronic neck pain. Most people suffering from neck pain treat their painful symptoms by taking pain killers and other drugs to cover up the problem. This harmful method of treatment does not treat the underlying cause of neck pain. The painful symptoms associated with neck pain can be the result of many conditions, such as whiplash injury, forward head posture, frozen shoulder, pinched nerves, disc bulges, arthritis, degenerative disc disease and much more.
Another common problem that is related to neck pain, which many people suffer from is shoulder pain. The shoulder is the most movable joint and the most unstable joint in the body. Common problems include sprains, strains, dislocations, tendonitis, bursitis, torn rotator cuffs, fractures, and arthritis. The most common cause of shoulder and neck pain is damage to the soft tissue including muscles, tendons, and ligaments. A thorough chiropractic examination can determine the cause of neck and shoulder pain that way an appropriate treatment plan can be implemented.
McNeil Chiropractic's approach to neck pain and shoulder pain is to locate the underlying cause and correct it by using specific chiropractic postural adjustments, postural traction and postural exercises. Dr. McNeil can determine if a spinal misalignment or improper spinal curve is the cause of neck and shoulder pain. Chiropractic adjustments, postural exercises, postural traction, and ice and heat therapy will help improve the motion, position, and function the spine. With improved structure and function, neck and shoulder pain often diminishes or disappears completely without the harmful side effects from addictive drugs. Dr. McNeil has helped many patients with chronic neck and shoulder pain.

Manipulation Under Anesthesia Chiropractor Macomb/Shelby Township/Clinton Township

Manipulation Under Anesthesia, also known as MUA is a gentle, yet intensive, noninvasive outpatient procedure for acute and chronic conditions. This procedure is used by specially trained chiropractors and orthopedic surgeons.

Manipulation under anesthesia, also known as MUA is a procedure that helps a number of chronic conditions such as neck pain, mid back pain, low back pain, muscle spasm, decreased spinal range of motion, chronic fibromyalgia, sciatica, disc bulges, failed back surgery, chronic headaches, and nerve entrapment. Most patients selected for this procedure have received at least six to eight weeks of conservative care such as chiropractic, or physical therapy with minimal relief. By administering spinal manipulations while the patient is under light anesthesia, previously painful adjustments and movements are accomplished quickly and pain free. This helps to improve and restore range of motion. Sedation is necessary in order to shut off the muscle spasm cycle and pain perceiving nerves. This allows complete muscle relaxation, allowing the MUA certified chiropractor gently manipulate the joints to restore range of motion, reduce restrictive scar tissue, and reduce the misalignment of the spine. The procedure typically lasts 15 to 20 minutes and is performed in a state licensed out patient surgical center. MUA is performed by a medical team which includes an anesthesiologist, MUA certified physicians, and high tech registered nurses (RNs). The MUA procedure is most effective when repeated three days consecutively. After the procedure the patient should experience an immediate increase in range of motion and dramatic pain reduction. The patient may experience some temporary muscle soreness similar to that of completing an intense exercise session. After the MUA procedure the patient should follow a rehabilitation program developed by your chiropractor in order to maintain the results. Prior to treatments the patient must undergo a screening process to determine if MUA is a viable option for the patient. The screening process includes a medical history and physical examination, as well as diagnostic testing such as x-rays, MRI scans, or CT scans to support the need for treatment. Dr. Chris McNeil is a certified MUA chiropractor. If you are suffering from a chronic condition including neck pain, back pain, chronic muscle spasm, decreased spinal range of motion, fibromyalgia, sciatica, nerve entrapment, failed back surgery, chronic headaches, frozen shoulder, or any condition related to injuries sustained in a car accident please contact McNeil Chiropractic to see how Dr. McNeil can help.

Non-Surgical Spinal Decompression Treatment Macomb/Shelby/Clinton Township

Do you suffer from chronic pain everyday? Do you use pain relieving drugs with no relief? Are you considering back surgery? If so, then you need to know about this non-surgical breakthrough medical treatment called spinal decompression therapy.

Spinal decompression therapy is a non-surgical treatment for chronic back pain. Decompression treatment works by slowly and gently stretching the spine, which takes the pressure off compressed discs, vertebrae, and pinched nerves. By stretching the spine and taking the pressure off damaged discs, nutrients and oxygen are returned to the inside of the discs allowing the damaged fibers to begin to heal. Spinal decompression is most effective for anyone suffering from back pain, sciatica, leg pain, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, numbness, neck pain, and much more. The most common condition treated with spinal decompression is chronic back pain. This pain is often caused by disc bulges or herniated discs. Car accidents, work injuries, or daily repetitive routines can cause disc bulges, spinal compression, and pinching on surrounding nerves. Decompression treatment takes the pressure off the damaged discs and vertebrae to provide pain relief. This treatment allows the bulging disc to return back to its original size and helps spinal vertebrae to remain in a normal position. Statistics show that spinal decompression treatment is highly effective for long term pain relief. Decompression treatments are primarily used by chiropractors to treat chronic back pain and avoid painful, unnecessary back surgery. Spinal surgery for the treatment of herniated discs or vertebrae compression often yields poor results and provides little pain relief. Also, spinal surgery has many risks involved.
McNeil Chiropractic specializes in spinal decompression therapy. If you are suffering from back pain, neck pain, sciatica, numbness, leg pain, arm pain, herniated discs, bulged discs, degenerative disc, disease or if you have been injured in a work or car accident, we can help. Simple tests and exams can determine if spinal decompression therapy is right for you. Dr. McNeil uses decompression postural traction to provide relief from painful symptoms associated with spinal conditions and correct these conditions non-surgically over a short period of time. Let Dr. McNeil help you regain a normal lifestyle and healthy spinal position with spinal decompression therapy, postural traction, and postural exercises.
