The practice has served the Macomb County community for more than two decades.

What’s used in the practice
Dr. McNeil’s office offers a range of services rooted in postural rehabilitation, spinal alignment, and disc decompression. Each service supports the practice’s core focus: addressing the underlying patterns rather than masking symptoms.
Spine & Posture Rehabilitation (CBP)
The Chiropractic Biophysics technique of spine and posture rehabilitation, delivered with time and repetition, to slowly retrain the body toward a normal and healthy posture and spinal alignment. This can help take pressure off the nerves, discs, joints, and muscles.
Disc Decompression Therapy
Designed for people dealing with back pain, sciatica, leg pain, herniated discs, degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, tingling, numbness, arm pain, and neck pain. Spinal decompression therapy paired with posture rehab is a non-surgical approach.
Postural Adjustments
By placing the patient in the opposite direction of their unhealthy posture and stimulating the nerves with an adjusting instrument, the goal is to retrain the nervous system to hold the body in proper alignment over time.
Postural Digital X-Rays
Postural digital x-rays are used to locate misalignments in the spine and posture that could indicate nerve pressure. The doctor then determines what can be done to correct the alignment of the spine and posture with rehab.
Postural Traction
Postural traction is used to retrain the tissues of the body — ligaments and muscles — and is performed in the opposite direction of the abnormal spine and posture position.
Massage Bed & Heat Therapy
Before each treatment, patients lay on a heated, vibrating, rolling massage bed. This helps loosen tight muscles and put motion into the spine, freeing up the spinal discs, joints, and nerves.
