Macomb Twp Chiropractic Chiropractor Chris McNeil

The month of February brings us Valentine’s Day and celebrations of love. Macomb Township Chiropractic, in Macomb Township, Michigan, got into the fun as well. They had a Valentine’s Day “guess the hearts” contest for all their patients, and gave away dinner and a movie for two! The office has regular fun promotions for their patients, as well as sponsoring food and clothing drives to help the needy in the area. They also have a “patient of the month” campaign, in which they chose one patient to showcase their progress, and who has been an example of an all-star patient following their treatment plan and referring their family, friends and co-workers who are suffering with aches, pains and other health issues..

For the Valentines promotion, a bowl filled with candy hearts was placed out for all patients to guess the total number of hearts. The promotion gave each patient one guess, and additional guesses if they gave Macomb Township Chiropractic a Facebook or a Google review. Many patients took advantage of the promotion and helped spread the good word of hope and healing to others that Macomb Township Chiropractic can provide. Dr. Chris McNeil, Macomb Township Chiropractic Chiropractor, initiated the promotion to show his appreciation to all his patients, as well as opening the door to new patients brought in from the promotion.

The winner of the Valentine’s Day promotion actually guessed the exact number of hearts, 623, and surprised everyone. He was in disbelief himself, but enjoyed a nice dinner and movie with his wife! He was quoted as saying “believe in yourself!” It’s promotions like this that bring together the patients and staff, and make the environment a fun and inviting place to be!

"You don’t have time to worry about back pain over the holiday season" says Dr. McNeil. A lot of people suffer from back pain over the holidays because of long hours standing and constant walking while looking for holiday presents. Another cause of back pain is pulling big packages off the shelves in the store in improper ways. Some people also complain about having back pain due to bending over while wrapping presents for long hours. Back pain can be an uncomfortable feeling in the back but can turn into something very serious if ignored. Once left untreated it can affect the quality of life. You might even find that the pain and muscle tension can even keep you from sleeping, working or even enjoying the holidays. So, it is essential to find ways to relieve this common condition to make your holidays more memorable and at the same time prevent the condition from worsening. To help have a pain free holiday season, Dr. Chris McNeil, Chiropractor and Chiropractic clinic director, reveals "5 Ways to Relieve Back Pain Over the Holidays".1. The first thing you always can do with increased pain or a new injury is rest. Take frequent breaks from whatever you are doing and alternate between sitting down, to rest your back muscles, and standing up and walking around, to keep the muscles working and the joints moving.2. Ice therapy can be used to decrease the swelling in the injured area. Swelling and inflammation ultimately irritates the nerve in your low back and causes the muscles to tighten up. Using an ice pack for 20 minutes every hour can great decrease the pain and swelling associated with back pain.3. Hot packs can be utilized to minimize muscle tension. When the back is injured and the muscles tighten up and go into spasm, heat packs can really help relax the tight muscles and provide some relief. 4. Heat rubs and patches can also be to loosen up tight muscles in the back. These heat liniments are especially helpful when you have to be on the go. Applying thermo genic creams, lotions or patches can provide some relief to help you get through the day.5. A back support may be a life saver when your back pain is severe. When your spine an posture are misaligned, causing nerve and joint irritation, your body will often become antalgic shifting your rib cage to one side. A back brace from the drug store may help support to take some pressure of your back muscles, nerves and joints and provide you with some relief. A back brace shouldn’t be worn more than 6 hours at a time so you should consult with your chiropractor before trying a back brace."These five ways to relieve back pain are very helpful. However, if you have an underlying problem that is causing your back pain, such as misalignments in the low back causing nerve or joint irritation, these 5 pain relievers may only be a temporary patch until the true problem is fixed. So, it’s always a good idea to get checked out by a chiropractor at the first sign of back pain. That way you may be able to avoid any severe back conditions that may not only keep you from doing your Christmas shopping, but also sleeping, working or enjoying the holidays" says Dr. McNeil.To make holidays more fun and pain free, consider Dr. McNeil's "5 Ways to Relieve Back Pain Over the Holidays".

Spring Can Be a Time to Start Fresh at Macomb Township Chiropractic!

Spring is here, and what a better time to take a fresh look at how chiropractic can help you feel better and be ready for the season! Spring means opening up the doors and windows and getting outside to do more things you weren’t able to do in the winter months of Michigan. Whether it’s going out for a walk, or visiting the park, or maybe turning over your garden, Dr. Chris McNeil at Macomb Township Chiropractic reminds you that they are there to help you feel better while venturing out! Winter’s long months of inactivity may have your neck or back feeling a bit tight or achy, or maybe your hips are hurting you or those nasty seasonal allergies may be kicking in. Chiropractic care is just the answer to helping you feel better.

Many people who are experiencing pain, headaches, or allergies this time of year, resort to the traditional treatments which include pain medications, oral antihistamines, decongestants, or steroids. While these treatments may give temporary relief, they come with many side effects and do not actually treat the problem. Regular use of pain relief products such as ibuprofen can cause intestinal and stomach problems, kidney damage, changes in blood pressure, and liver damage. Medications for allergies used on a regular basis can cause shortness of breath, drowsiness, increased heart rate, and agitation. Dr. Chris McNeil,owner of Macomb Township Chiropractic, believes in treating a condition not from the outside in, but the inside out. Chiropractic adjustments promotes healing from the inside. The spine is the lifeline to all our organs, tissues, and muscles, as well as our immune system. Regular chiropractic adjustments have proven to improve immune system function as well as increase blood flow to all nerve tissues. Dr. Chris McNeil states, “with a clear nervous system, your body and your life can be better from the inside out.”

Children are also affected by aches and pains as well as seasonal allergies. Macomb Township Chiropractic is one of the leading centers in Macomb who work with children. Now is the time to look into alternative treatments if your children are suffering from aches and pains or allergies. Seasonal allergies involve many organs and tissues associated with the sinuses as well as the immune system. Regular adjustments have been shown to balance the system more properly and can even relieve asthma symptoms. Dr. McNeil states “it’s never too early to get your kids involved in chiropractic care!”
