The Truth About Chiropractic Care | Dr. Will McGhee

Show by Gray Broughton Injury Law

Some people swear by their chiropractor, while others stay skeptical. It can be an awkward topic, but Dr. Will McGhee of Guarino Chiropractic Clinic in west end Richmond has a summary that should make you feel better (or confirm what you already know):"The body is self-maintaining and self-healing, and a chiropractor's job is to restore the body's relationship with itself by working on nervous system function and movement."Will describes how physical, chemical and mental stress can pile up in the shoulders and neck, changing the neck's cervical curve and bring muscle tension, migraines, brain fog and poor sleep. Chiropractic adjustments can therefore break that cycle, and help people regain quality of life.We learn about what creates those popping and cracking sounds, and how cracking your own neck differs from a chiropractic adjustment, and is something to be very careful doing. Will covers who may or may not be a good fit for an adjustment, and answers the question many patients quietly wonder about: is a chiropractor a doctor?Guarino Chiropractic has been a staple in the community for over 30 years, and since taking over ownership in 2024, Will has continued to build on that excellent reputation for care, trust and results. The ultimate goal is to get you to a place where wellness care is an option, rather than an obligation."When somebody reaches the most improvement that my services can provide them, at that point they reach elective care. If they want to come, they can do so because they want to continue to experience the benefits of chiropractic, or they want to make that part of their healthcare or their wellness routine." - Dr. Will McGheeLearn more about Dr. Will McGhee and Guarino Chiropractic:www.guarinochiropractic.comChapters0:00 Growing up in Richmond's West End4:35 The fishing injury that changed Will's path9:36 Taking over Guarino Chiropractic in 202415:38 What does a chiropractor actually fix?17:12 What causes subluxations: physical, chemical and mental stress22:18 Biggest misconceptions: lifelong care and neck adjustments27:02 Why some people swear by chiropractors and others are skeptical31:49 Who shouldn't see a chiropractor33:50 Cracking your own back and neck37:13 What the pop in your joints really is37:51 Viral adjustments and the Y-strap40:38 How to find Guarino Chiropractic41:39 The ongoing question: Are chiropractors actually doctors?If we can ever be of help to you, give us a call at 1-877-VETS WIN, or visit https://www.graybroughton.com.
