Chiropractic Philosphy

Chiropractic spinal manipulation (commonly referred to as a chiropractic adjustment) is a drug-free, non-invasive manual procedure which utilizes the highly-refined skills that Dr. McCarthy obtained during four intensive years of chiropractic education.

The primary goal of the chiropractic manipulation is to treat areas of decreased movement in the joints of the body, particularly the spine, which can create a reaction in surrounding tissues (ligaments, muscles and nerves) resulting in pain, dysfunction and muscular spasm.

Dr. McCarthy first assesses any disorders related to the spine, nervous system, and joints of the extremities.  He then manipulates the spine in a highly controlled manner by adapting the specific needs of each patient. Patients often note positive changes in their symptoms immediately following treatment. 
 

Dr. McCarthy will often prescribe therapeutic exercise and other non-invasive therapies, including nutritional counseling, to his clients.

body's incredible potential to heal itself."
