Back Pain

Stress, bad posture, injuries, and other factors can cause spinal joints to lock and muscles to contract, resulting in a misalignment of the vertebrae that can pinch or irritate nearby nerves, resulting in pain, loss of movement, and a poor quality of life.

Chiropractic treatment applies gentle pressure to the affected part of the spine to correct these misalignments, and help to relieve nerve pressure, reduce or eliminate pain, and restore freedom of movement.

I have serious, back issues, suffer chronic pain. I see Dr. McMahon at least once a week, have been seeing him going on 4 years. Without his skills and care, I believe I would literally be unable to walk. Not only a talented practitioner, a terrific guy. His office is run by a wonderful young woman. I can’t recommend this practice too highly.

All I can say is I should have came in earlier for treatment with Dr McMahon. My neck is no longer bothering me and now my back feels alive.

I cannot speak highly enough about Dr McMahon and this office. I feel so lucky to have found him and Kiambu. I have a very physically demanding job and can always count on McMahon Chiropractic to keep me feeling great and healthy. I have been a regular for a few months now and every time I have an adjustment or a session I walk out feeling 10 inches taller. I feel very safe and comfortable with Dr McMahon. Look no further for all of your chiropractic needs. 10/10

I have been a patient for about two weeks now and Dr. McMahon is amazing. He's very patient, understanding and he listens. His bedside manner is impeccable. He's very accommodating and experienced. With only four sessions, this is the best I have felt in the last two years and I have seen a few professionals- none come close to Dr. McMahon. He's adjusted my back, released tension and knots in my glutes and made me feel great! My sessions with him are always amazing, I don't want it to end. Once you go with Dr. McMahon you can't go back. Overall the best chiropractor ever! Ari, his front staff is very sweet and respectful. I have been tardy a few times and they still made time for me (please don't be tardy). They are really great people. You can tell he and his team really care about improving the lives and function of his patients! With Dr. McMahon you are truly in great hands.

Gracias al doctor estoy de vuelta a la vida. Tenía desde febrero del 2022 con mi espalda muy mal por causa que no sabía que era hasta que fui al neurocirujano, me hicieron un MRI. Como todos sabes en este país te hacen los Appointment para messs después y la neuróloga que me atiende no fue la excepción y el Appointment fue para un mes y medio después. Yo no podía seguir con ese terrible dolor que no me dejaba caminar, dormir, estar sentado en fin no tenía paz ni alivio durante muchos meses. Mi hermana Martha me hablo de su doctor McMahon, fui en realidad solo por tratar algo más ya que yo había hecho terapia y tampoco me funciono nada. Hice mi Appointment con el doctor y fue súper rápido todo y le lleve los resultados del mri antes de el hacer cualquier cosa conmigo me dijo lo que tenía en mi espalda. Tengo una hernia muy grande en la parte de abajo de la columna, el disco se salió casi por completo. En el hospital solo me dieron medicamentos. Estaba tomando muchos medicamentos que solo me tenía metido en la cama, estuve así por casi 7 meses. El doctor fue muy sincero conmigo y me dijo que no iba a reparar eso porqué es algo que no le corresponde a él pero que el iba ayudarme a sentir mejor y yo estaba muy escéptico con todo pero tenía que trata, mi seguro no cumbre los servicios entonces tenía que pagar con mi dinero. Yo pensé bueno lo voy a tratar tres veces y veremos qué pasa. Sin mentir con la segunda sesión sentí en mi vida el cambio. Y desde entonces no he dejado de verlo. Hoy me dijo que desde hoy me quiero volver a ver cada mes. Yo gracias a Dios y a él doctor hoy puedo dormir, caminar normal y volví a tener una vida. Este no es un review por ayudar a nadie. Es mi review 100% honesto. Si tienes un problema ve a verlo. Te aseguro que no te hará gran cosa pero lo que sea que hace funciona y te vas a sentir mucho mejor. Gracias al doctor McMahon.

Great overall experience. Dr McMahon was recommended to me by a friend and I am so grateful for this.. I had been experiencing ongoing shoulder and neck pain for almost 2 years. Having tried Accupuncture, massage, laser therapy all while taking pain meds and anti inflammatories with no relief, I was at my wits end. I called Dr McMahon's office and was given an appointment the same day. His front desk person Ari is a delight and very professional. I was quite nervous about seeing a chiropractor but Dr McMahon put me at ease right away. It has now been a month since my first session and I have had NO pain since. I can't thank Dr McMahon enough. His treatments have improved my quality of life so much , and I would recommend anyone that is in pain to see him right away. I wish I had gone to him sooner.

I came to Dr McMahon because I was waking up with a neck ache every morning and a couple of mornings with slight dizziness as well - and my nutritionist recommended that I get a chiropractic adjustment. I was surprised at how much better I felt after the first treatment - and I continue to feel better - and no more dizziness! I highly recommend Dr McMahon.

we’re here to all your questions

Each year, about 35 million Americans visit chiropractors to relieve pain in their back, neck, arms, and legs, as well as for headaches and ear infections, caused by accidents, stress, muscle strain, and sports injuries.

Yes, they are often an integral component of the patient’s treatment. Some of the machines used are:

  • Electric Muscle Stimulator (EMS machine): 
The EMS is often used in the initial phase of pain relief and muscle re-education. An electric current is sent from the machine to wires connected to adhesive patches placed on the skin to retrain muscles having trouble contracting or have been contracted too long (spasms).
  • VibraCussor:
 Creates comfortable compression waves that travel through the muscles and fascia (the thick, white connective tissue that surround muscles) to relax tense muscles, reduce muscle spasms, increase circulation, and release fascial adhesions that can trap nerves and restrict blood flow and muscle movement.
  • Ultrasound: 
This small device (about the size of a computer mouse) delivers deep heat to tissues to help reduce stiffness, swelling and pain, and to increase circulation and promote pain-free movement. It is often used before a chiropractic adjustment and is a painless, and often relaxing, procedure.
  • Traction Rolls: 
Manual or mechanical pressure (i.e., traction) is applied to gently stretch muscles and ligaments in the neck and back, increase the space between vertebrae, allow more joint flexibility and functioning, and help relieve the pain caused by herniated or bulging discs.

We get asked this question a lot and the answer is a resounding YES! The main difference is the approach to treatment. Medical doctors, or MDs, seek to make you feel better by using medicines. Chiropractors seek to find the cause of your problem and stimulate the natural healing ability of the body by allowing your nervous system and immune system to operate at their peak healing potential.

There is also a misconception that chiropractors have limited education and training. Not true! All chiropractors are educated for a minimum of 8 years (4 years undergraduate and 4 years graduate), same as medical doctors. And unlike a general physician or internist, we specialize in one subject area.

A chiropractor combines the skill of a neurologist (the nervous system), orthopedist (joints), massage therapist (to relax the muscles) and a physical therapist (exercise and stretches to keep joints limber and moving). It’s like having 4 skilled physicians at once.

We are considered a “non-participating provider” in that we can treat patients and bill their insurance company, but we are not considered “in network.” We prefer this system as it gives us more flexibility to customize our treatments to the patient’s needs, without insurance companies giving us permission to treat a patient or having to first get authorization from non-medical personnel to order tests and/or begin treatment.

Our patients leave our office feeling better than when they came in—even after the first visit. Not many medical professionals can say likewise.

That’s another frequent question, and the answer is NO. Of course, everyone has a different pain threshold, but if we hurt patients at every session, we’d go out of business.

Now, the loudness of the pop can vary considerably. That “pop” is caused by a compaction of the joints due to a build-up of pressure. The longer that pressure goes untreated, the louder the pop. Also, young patients tend to have more freedom of movement in their joints and are therefore less likely to have a loud pop during adjustments. On the other hand, the joint pressure for adults has typically been building for quite some time, so they are more likely to hear a louder sound during treatment.

However, many times there is no noise when doing the adjustment. A click or pop results from the amount of built-up tension in the joint, and is no indication of the success of the treatment.

Although the first recognized chiropractic treatment was performed in 1895 by Daniel David Palmer, spinal adjustments go all the way back to the ancient Egyptians. Hippocrates, the ancient Greek “Father of Medicine,” recommended spinal adjustments as a treatment for scoliosis and digestion. Even Thomas Edison said: “The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patients in the care of the human frame, in diet, and in the cause and prevention of disease.”

Today, chiropractors treat more than 35 million Americans annually.

The first session will begin with an initial examination to discover the cause of your problem. As I practice holistic chiropractic care, I will ask about your lifestyle, diet, and stress levels, as well as pain-specific questions, such as where it hurts, how long you’ve had the problem, and determine if the cause of the problem is something that chiropractic care can help.

Based on this information, I will develop a personalized treatment program. We can actually begin to do some adjustments during the first visit. From then on, the sessions will be focused on treatment.

I recommend wearing loose fitting clothes, if possible. There is no need to bring a towel, athletic wear, sneakers, or a change of clothes as you won’t be working up a sweat. Many patients come in before breakfast, during lunch, or after work wearing business attire. However, we do provide gowns in the office, if the patient so desires.

No, you do not need a doctor’s prescription for chiropractic care. We can diagnose, treat, and refer you for any diagnostic test needed.

Think of your chiropractor as you would your family doctor or dentist. If you get treated for the flu, do you never see your doctor again? If your dentist pulls a bad tooth, do you never go back for an annual dental checkup? The same goes for chiropractic care.

The reality is, you should see your chiropractor for a spinal alignment “check-up” on a regular basis, even if you are not in pain. Prevention is a key component of chiropractic care and for overall good health.
