Dr. Garreth MacDonald's chiropractic adjustments relieve pressure on the spine and nervous system so your body can heal without surgery or medication.
Spinal dysfunction can begin with something as ordinary as falling asleep on the couch, lifting a child, or an awkward twist doing laundry — or something as serious as a car accident. When a joint along the spine is out of place, it can interfere with the nerves branching off the spinal cord, causing pain not just locally but anywhere along that nerve’s path. Dr. Garreth MacDonald’s chiropractic adjustments focus on normalizing joint mechanics so your spine and nervous system can function without interference.

Your first visit includes a full physical exam of the back, extremities, tendons, ligaments, and joints, along with diagnostic imaging performed in-house on our digital X-ray when needed — no waiting on films sent out to a third-party lab. Depending on your condition, we may also apply ice, heat, or electrical stimulation before your adjustment. From there, we build a personalized treatment plan — often paired with massage therapy or acupuncture for a fully coordinated recovery.
If pain lingers despite treatment or a standard X-ray, CT, or MRI hasn’t found a clear answer, we may also recommend our in-house Digital Motion X-ray (DMX) — a real-time video X-ray that can reveal ligament injuries a still image misses.
For many auto injury patients, massage therapy paired with chiropractic adjustments relieves accident-related muscle guarding and speeds recovery from whiplash and soft-tissue strain. Regular massage also supports anxiety reduction, joint mobility, faster injury recovery, better sleep, immune function, and headache and stress relief. Our therapists coordinate directly with your chiropractor so every session supports your overall treatment plan.
