Whiplash
Whiplash is an injury that occurs when your neck is suddenly and forcefully jerked back and forth.
It can result from forward, backward, or side-to-side movement.
Whiplash damages the muscles, nerves, ligaments, and connective tissues in your neck and upper back along with the bones in the spine and the discs that cushion the spinal column.
Rear-end car accidents are a common cause of whiplash, but injuries sustained in contact sports, falls, and other types of trauma can also cause it to occur.

X-Rays
Diagnostics are very important to quality chiropractic care and x-rays are one of the most commonly used tools.
Why?
They are non-invasive and really give Dr. McLaughlin & Dr. Swacha a chance to see what is going on in your body so that an appropriate course of treatment can be determined.
Here's what you need to know about the use of x-rays at McLaughlin Chiropractic Center.
When many people think about x-rays, the image of a broken bone or sprain generally comes to mind-not spinal alignment.
But many chiropractic clinics around the country use x-ray machines on a regular basis to help diagnose and treat patients.

Back Pain & Sciatica
If you have lower back pain that shoots down either leg, you may be suffering the symptoms of sciatica.
Sciatica is a condition that affects your sciatic nerve.
This nerve is located in your lower back and branches out through your hips and buttocks and trails down both legs.
Sciatica typically only affects one side of your body or the other, but most forms of sciatica cause lower back pain.
If you suffer from this painful condition, Dr. Patrick McLaughlin & Dr. Nathan Swacha can help.
Sciatica is caused by compressed nerves.

Carpal Tunnel
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) is increasingly common, due to the proliferation of technology and other repetitive movements in our daily lives.
Each year, millions of people are diagnosed with CTS.
While a treatment called carpal tunnel release has been a popular surgical method to relieve the painful symptoms of CTS, new findings show that almost half of these types of surgeries are not successful.
Instead, more and more professionals are recommending chiropractic treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome.

Headaches, Vertigo, and Neck Pain
Sports injuries can cause a lot of damage that's not visible.
If you've recently been injured playing a contact sport such as football or basketball, it may be a good idea to visit your chiropractor.
Even if you feel like there are no lasting problems, issues such as headache, vertigo, and neck pain can wait days to surface.
And once they arrive, they can cause quite a bit of pain.
Get out ahead of the spinal and deep tissue injuries by being proactive in scheduling an appointment with Dr. Patrick McLaughlin & Dr. Nathan Swacha.

Postural and Spinal Screenings
Postural and spinal screenings are preventive tests that help Dr. Patrick McLaughlin & Dr. Nathan Swacha detect neuromusculoskeletal problems, which affect your nerves, muscles, and joints.
Like other types of preventive tests, spinal and postural screenings detect problems in their early stages, when most conditions respond best to treatment.
The screening process can help us discover posture and spinal alignment issues you never knew you had, long before they turn into chronic back pain, neck pain, or other injuries.

Spinal Decompression
Chronic back or neck pain can make it hard to do even the simplest of tasks.
People often experience pain from conditions like bulging or herniated disks in the spine, placing pressure on nerves and other spinal structures.
One way to help alleviate some of the discomfort is to add spinal decompression therapy to your individualized treatment program.
Nonsurgical decompression can reduce the pressure on affected areas and allow you to move with ease.
