What is
Chiropractic?
Taking a Natural Systemic Approach to Healing
Chiropractic is a way of looking at the human body as a whole. It’s based on the idea that the body is self-sustaining and self-healing.
You know that your body is controlled by your brain, but the spinal cord and vast network of nerves that carry its messages are just as important. When this system is not functioning at its peak, your body’s overall performance suffers.
In the chiropractic world, we don’t use drugs to treat our patients. While supplementation and nutrition are almost always a part of the bigger picture, drugs and prescriptions can be viewed as bandaids to treat symptoms rather than treating the source of the problem. Chiropractic treats the problem naturally and in turn prompts the body to heal itself.
While it’s often perceived that the chiropractor solely treats back and neck pain, this is a small piece of what the profession is capable of handling. Chiropractors not only treat soft and hard tissue problems such as sciatica and joint pain, but are largely called on to deal with many different health issues. Some of these issues include fibromyalgia, allergies, insomnia, and headaches among many more.

“Dr. McMahon is a gem! He is patient, listens well, and takes an educational approach to healing by thoroughly explaining what is going on in the body, and what he is going to do to relieve your pain. I never feel unclear about what he is saying. As a woman, I feel completely safe in his office, and the receptionist is friendly and warm. If you are looking for a chiropractor in NYC, stop reading reviews and call Dr. McMahon today! You’ll ask yourself why you didn’t it sooner.”
