Back Pain? Neck Pain?
Gary R. McLeod, DC
What do you think are the two most common reasons patients seek chiropractic care? If you said back and neck pain, you're right! And it gets better-the majority of those patients who receive chiropractic care get the results they're looking for.
Here are some tid-bits to tie together. Only 14% of Americans receive chiropractic care. The two main causes of work days lost and disability in the USA are neck and back pain. Harvard research says that patients with neck and back pain should see the chiropractor first because it is more effective, costs less and returns people to work sooner. Pain and suffering could be reduced, workplace productivity increased and money saved if more people would see a chiropractor.
Chiropractic first, drugs second and surgery last would be a good progression on the road to health...and a good step toward avoiding opiod abuse!!!

About Our Practice
Since 1981 we have been providing chiropractic care to the community. Our youngest patients have been only a few days old and our oldest patient is 103 (yes, you read that right, 103). Your spine is adjusted using the Activator V and the Activator Technique which is a specialized method of correcting spinal subluxations. The first goal of care is to get you the relief you are looking for. The second objective is to maintain your health. We use exams, x-rays and computerized spinal analysis to deliver a very effective level of care. Our office is open on Monday, Wednesday and Friday (9-noon, 2:30-6). Dr. McLeod is a Palmer graduate and is ready to help you.
