Chiropractic Care
Manual therapies and manipulation have been used by health practitioners for thousands of years. The modern chiropractic profession was founded in 1895 by D.D. Palmer.
Chiropractic Is a health care profession that focuses on the spine and other joints of the body, including extremities, and their connection to the nervous system. Doctors of Chiropractic specialize in spinal health, well-being and maximizing patient function through their care.
The body’s potential to heal itself is strengthened by chiropractic care. We speak with our patients, get a thorough health history, and do an examination. X-rays can be taken in office to support the exam findings. Then we can make recommendations for your care, begin therapy, and track your progress.
Additional Services Our Office Provides
Massage Therapy
Massage Therapy offers a proactive answer for easing the strained muscles to help in getting you re-aligned and healthy again. It uses application of soft-tissue manipulation techniques to the body, generally intended to reduce stress and fatigue while improving circulation.
Physical Therapy
The goal of physical therapy is to efficiently and effectively strengthen the body to reduce pain and prevent future injury. At McAllister Chiropractic, we focus on each patient to relieve symptoms, offer consistent corrective care and encourage stabalizing exercises. Ultimately, we want you to reach your highest level of health and vitality.
Spinal Decompression
There is a non-surgical solution for bulging, degenerated, and herniated discs. Our Triton DTS table has proved this time and time again. 25 years of research combining efforts of doctors and therapists has led to the technology in the decompression table. It is a type of traction that works by gently stretching the spine and takes pressure off the disc, nerves and other structures of the spine.
Orthomolecular and 1-TDC Supplements
Orthomolecular supplements focus on restoring and maintaining health by giving the body the nutrients it needs to heal, improve immune health, reduce allergies, balance hormones and more. 1-TDC cream and capsules are a fantastic supplement for muscles and joints. They improve joint movement and flexibility for everyone from high school athletes to senior citizens.

Clinically Proven
Laser Therapy is clinically proven as an effective treatment for pain and inflammation. Able to penetrate to deep tissue structures, it has the ability to treat a wide variety of both acute and chronic conditions.
Alternative to Drugs and Surgery
The non-invasive nature of Deep Tissue Laser Therapy provides a solution for those who are looking for alternatives to prescription drugs and surgery.
What to Expect
Patients feel a soothing warmth as laser energy gently penetrates tissue and boosts your body’s own regeneration powers to relieve your pain. Treatments are painless and fast (5 to 10 min).
Results can be immediate but the most observed results are after 3 to 5 treatment sessions. The body continues to benefit from the effects of the therapy for 18-24 hours after treatment. During this time, modulated cellular activity leads to decreased pain and inflammation.

Are You In Pain?
Laying the foundation of treatment
Chiropractic care is like building a house – certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. The same is true for your body. Your body has to go through a particular plan of care in order to repair itself correctly and fully. The first three phases make up what we call Active Care, where we are actively correcting the problem. The fourth phase is called Wellness Care.
ACTIVE CARE:
Phase 1: Relief Care | Goal: Reduce Pain
As you progress, you can expect to be feeling less pain and discomfort, an increase in range of motion, and also begin to return to daily activities.
Remember – the goal of relief care is just to provide relief from the pain and discomfort. Patients must continue to corrective care to heal the condition that was causing the pain. When pain and inflammation are under control that is when all the healing occurs.
Phase 2: Corrective Care | Goal: To heal the condition that was causing pain and keep the problem from returning
During this phase, we use chiropractic adjustments and physical therapy exercises to correct the condition and allow the body to heal. By healing the condition we can reduce the likelihood of the pain returning. We can reach individual goals in this phase related to endurance, strength, balance, work and sports performance. As goals are reached, patients will graduate to the next stage of care.
Phase 3: Stabilization Care | Goal: Maintain the hard work and energy invested in care
During this phase, the goal is to stabilize the muscles and ligaments that support your spine in order to decrease the likelihood of your problem returning. Dr. McAllister provides stabilization care in order to solidify your health after the work done with relief and corrective care. We have found that Stabilization Care ensures that you do not have to return to Relief Care in the future.
WELLNESS CARE:
Phase 4: Wellness Care | Goals: Maintenance & Prevention
The goal in wellness care is to live a healthy, pain free life. Routine chiropractic adjustments will keep your body at its top performance. Everyone experiences emotional, physical, and environmental stresses that affect the body; however, chiropractic adjustments can minimize these affects and allow the body to function properly.
Wellness Care promotes optimum function of your nervous and immune systems. Once your body has fully healed, it is important to come in for periodic adjustments to avoid problems in the future.
If you’re already pain free and want to stay that way, or want to maximize your performance and prevent disease – chiropractic is for you!
By finding the cause of health problems, utilizing the most up-to-date treatments, and taking a team approach to your health, we offer the corrective care needed to overcome the health problems that you have experienced.

“Pebble in the Shoe”
Health problems can be physical or chemical in nature. For example, have you ever had a pebble in your shoe? It bothers you, however to eliminate the problem you just have to take the pebble out.
Once removed you feel fine, which is permanent rather than temporary. The pebble in the shoe caused the problem because it put pressure on a nerve. When a nerve has pressure on it, it will cause a problem and quite possibly pain. If the nerve is in your neck and it controls blood to the brain, you will get headaches. If pressure is on a nerve that goes to your sinuses, your sinuses will become over-sensitive and allergies may develop.
Can you imagine if someone said they were on medication for a pebble in their shoe, since it is a physical problem in need of a physical solution?
