Chiropractic Adjustments
Gentle, Effective Chiropractic Care for Adults & Kids
Chiropractic adjustments are designed to help restore normal movement and function to the joints of the body.
At McCleary Chiropractic, adjustments are individualized based on your age, health history, symptoms, and goals.
Chiropractic care may help patients experiencing discomfort related to the back, neck, joints, muscles, and other areas of the body.
What can chiropractic adjustments help with?
Patients commonly seek chiropractic care for concerns such as:
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Headaches
- Joint stiffness
- Muscle tension
- Limited mobility
- Sports-related discomfort
- Everyday aches and pains
We also provide gentle chiropractic care for children and prenatal patients using techniques appropriate for their individual needs.
What does an adjustment feel like?
Everyone experiences chiropractic care differently. Some patients feel a gentle movement of a joint, while others may notice a popping or releasing sensation.
Your comfort is always a priority, and we’ll explain what we’re doing before providing care.
Prenatal & Pediatric Chiropractic
Chiropractic Care for Growing Families
Pregnancy and childhood are times of significant physical change.
At McCleary Chiropractic, we provide individualized care for expecting mothers, babies, children, and growing families.
Our techniques are adapted to the patient’s age, size, stage of pregnancy, and individual needs.
Prenatal Chiropractic
Pregnancy can place additional stress on the low back, hips, pelvis, and surrounding muscles and joints.
Prenatal chiropractic care may help support comfort and mobility as your body changes throughout pregnancy.
Dr. Grant McCleary is Webster Certified, making prenatal chiropractic care an important part of our family-focused practice.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Children’s bodies are constantly growing and developing. We provide gentle, age-appropriate chiropractic care for babies, children, and teenagers.
Parents may seek an evaluation for concerns related to:
- Movement
- Posture
- Musculoskeletal discomfort

We believe children should feel comfortable and welcome in our office, and we take the time to make their experience positive.

Soft Tissue Therapy
More Than Just an Adjustment
Sometimes muscles and other soft tissues need attention too.
Our soft tissue therapies can be incorporated into your chiropractic care plan to help address muscle tension, restrictions, and areas of discomfort.
Depending on your needs, treatment may include:
- Cupping
- Taping
- Scraping
- Other soft tissue techniques
What is soft tissue therapy used for?
Soft tissue techniques may be used to:
- Reduce muscle tension
- Improve mobility
- Support recovery
- Address areas of tightness
- Improve movement
- Complement chiropractic adjustments
Your treatment will be based on what we find during your evaluation.
Rehabilitation & Exercise Planning
Build Strength. Improve Movement. Stay Active.
Chiropractic care isn’t only about what happens on the treatment table.
We want to help you move better in your everyday life.
Rehabilitation and exercise planning can provide targeted exercises designed around your specific needs and goals.
Your plan may focus on:
- Building strength
- Improving posture
- Increasing mobility
- Improving stability
- Supporting recovery after an injury
- Improving movement patterns
- Preventing recurring problems
Exercises are selected based on your individual situation, and we’ll explain how to perform them correctly so you can feel confident doing them at home.
Why exercise matters
When appropriate, combining hands-on care with targeted exercises can help patients take an active role in their recovery.
Our goal is to help you not only feel better, but also understand how to keep moving well.
E-STIM
Electrical Stimulation Therapy
E-STIM, or electrical stimulation, uses gentle electrical currents delivered through small pads placed on the skin.
The treatment is designed to provide therapeutic stimulation to the underlying muscles and tissues.
What can E-STIM do?
Depending on the individual patient and condition, E-STIM may be used to:
- Reduce pain by helping interrupt pain signals
- Relax tight or spasming muscles
- Support circulation to injured tissues
- Help stimulate muscles following injury or irritation
Common reasons we use E-STIM
E-STIM may be incorporated into care for:
- Muscle spasms or tightness
- Acute or chronic neck and back pain
- Extremity pain
- Nerve-related pain or tingling
- Post-injury inflammation
What does E-STIM feel like?
Most patients describe E-STIM as a comfortable tingling, tapping, or pulsing sensation.
It should not be painful.
Your provider will adjust the intensity based on your comfort level and treatment needs.
Digital X-Rays
Convenient, On-Site Digital Imaging
When imaging is appropriate, having digital X-rays available in our office allows us to gather additional information that can help guide your care.
Our on-site digital X-ray equipment provides clear images quickly, allowing us to evaluate the areas of concern and develop an appropriate care plan.
Why might an X-ray be recommended?
Depending on your symptoms and history, an X-ray may help us evaluate:
- Spinal alignment
- Bone structure
- Joint spaces
- Degenerative changes
- Areas affected by an injury
- Other findings that may influence your care
X-rays are not necessary for every patient. We determine whether imaging is appropriate based on your individual history and examination.
Therapeutic Ultrasound
Deep Tissue Therapy Using Sound Waves
Therapeutic ultrasound uses sound waves—not electrical current—to deliver therapeutic energy to tissues beneath the skin.
It can be used as part of a comprehensive treatment plan for certain soft tissue and musculoskeletal conditions.
What can therapeutic ultrasound do?
Depending on the condition being treated, therapeutic ultrasound may help:
- Increase blood flow to targeted tissues
- Reduce inflammation and swelling
- Support tissue healing
- Address scar tissue and adhesions
- Improve mobility and flexibility
Common reasons we use therapeutic ultrasound
It may be incorporated into care for:
- Tendon or ligament injuries
- Muscle strains
- Joint stiffness
- Scar tissue from previous injuries
- Certain soft tissue conditions
What does therapeutic ultrasound feel like?
Most patients feel little or nothing during treatment.
Some patients notice a gentle warmth in the area being treated.
The treatment is designed to work beneath the surface of the skin while remaining comfortable.
How Do We Decide Which Services You Need?
You don’t have to figure that out on your own.
Your care begins with an evaluation and conversation about your symptoms, health history, lifestyle, and goals.
Based on your individual situation, we may recommend one service or a combination of services.
For example, a patient may receive:
Chiropractic adjustment + soft tissue therapy + E-STIM
while another patient may benefit from:
Chiropractic adjustment + therapeutic ultrasound + rehabilitation exercises
Every patient is different, which is why we create individualized care plans.
