Chiropractic Care

Dr. McGraw uses traditional chiropractic care to heal spinal related conditions.

Over the past 100 years it has been well documented that the moveable vertebrae of the spine can loose their normal range of motion and put tremendous pressure on the nervous system. This lack of motion is called a misalignment or subluxation.

There are three ways to become subluxated

Mental Stress
Physical Stress
Poor Nutrition

Dr. McGraw uses light and effective adjustments to the spine. These adjustments will restore proper motion to misaligned spinal joints. This will alleviate pressure on the spinal cord and will reduce the patients’ pain significantly. Spinal joints will lose their normal motion due to physical, mental stress, or poor nutrition.

In our office Dr. McGraw uses three methods to find and diagnose a subluxation.

Range of motion
Palpation (feeling the spine and surrounding muscles)
X-Ray evaluation (when necessray)

Chiropractors are well trained in a anatomy of the body with an emphasis on the spine and nervous system.

Testimonials

Over the past few months of seeing Dr. McGraw, my range of motion has tremendously improved. Regular visits relieve the tension in my lower back from strenuous exercise. I always look forward to my appointments. For anyone experiencing any discomfort or anyone who exercises regularly, I highly recommend Dr. McGraw; he has magic hands.

I came in with a lot of foot pain, my left foot from an overuse running injury it was to the point that I could not continue completing certain workouts. I began receving care and treatment for my foot using active release therapy and stretches, over 4-6 weeks I was completely healed and able to start running and training again. Within the first 2 weeks I was able to start doing some workouts with little to no pain. Now I am pain free on the tops of my feet and continue doing the stretches.

I have been a patient of Dr. McGraw for two months with a pinched nerve in my shoulder. I was receiving traditional chiropractic treatments along with deep tissue massage. As a professional drummer of 38 years my body has taken a beating, add six car accidents and you get the picture. Active Care has not only gotten rid of my burning, tingling, sensation in my right arm but has given me better motion, abilites and isolated the problem. I highly recommend to any athlete or musician that has not had success with traditional medical techniques. Active Care will change your life.
