Coordinating with major carriers
Not every reason to see a chiropractor involves an accident. Years of desk work, poor sleep posture, old sports injuries, and simple wear on the spine all add up over time. Dr. Denise M Mcphatter, DC, has provided chiropractic care for over 16 years, treating patients across New Castle County for everything from chronic back pain to tension headaches.
Schedule a Chiropractic Visit
A chiropractic adjustment restores normal motion to joints that have become restricted, whether from injury, poor posture, or simple time. When a joint loses its normal range of motion, the muscles around it compensate, which is usually where the pain patients feel actually comes from.
Adjusting the joint takes pressure off those muscles and allows the area to move and heal the way it is supposed to. Dr. Mcphatter combines manual adjustments with soft tissue techniques depending on what each patient’s exam shows, rather than applying the same treatment to every visit.
Get in Touch
New patients start with a conversation about what has been bothering them and for how long, followed by a physical exam focused on the affected area. From there, Dr. Mcphatter explains what she is finding in plain language and outlines a treatment plan built around it. Follow-up visits are generally shorter, focused on adjustment and progress, with the plan adjusted as needed based on how the patient responds.
