Dr. Brandon McMechan offers comprehensive chiropractic services designed to treat a wide range of musculoskeletal injuries and conditions. With extensive experience in the field, Dr. McMechan is dedicated to providing patient-centered care that addresses each individual's unique needs.
Dr. McMechan's approach combines hands-on chiropractic care with myofascial release therapies. Chiropractic adjustments help to realign the spine and improve overall body function, alleviating pain and enhancing mobility. Myofascial release therapy targets the fascia, the connective tissue surrounding muscles, to reduce tension and improve movement.
In addition to these techniques, Dr. McMechan employs various advanced modalities to enhance treatment outcomes:
Low Level Laser Therapy: This non-invasive treatment uses light to reduce pain and inflammation, promote tissue repair, and accelerate healing.
Interferential Current Therapy: This electrical stimulation technique helps to relieve pain, reduce swelling, and promote healing by targeting deeper tissues.
Supervised Exercise: Tailored exercise programs are designed to strengthen muscles, improve flexibility, and support long-term recovery and health.
Dr. McMechan's holistic approach ensures that all aspects of a patient's condition are addressed, providing effective and lasting relief. By integrating multiple therapies and focusing on patient education, he empowers individuals to take an active role in their health and recovery. Whether you're dealing with chronic pain, recovering from an injury, or seeking to improve your overall well-being, Dr. McMechan is here to support you on your journey to optimal health.
A specialized form of therapy, pelvic health physiotherapy is a specific type of treatment that’s designed to assess tissues, muscles, and nerves in the pelvic region.
Our approach to pelvic health physiotherapy can help with:
Treatment of incontinence (leakage) or urine, which is experienced by as many as 50% of women
Core weakness, including post-abdominal surgery and post-hysterectomy
Symptoms related to menopause
Sexual health concerns
Pelvic organ prolapse
Pain in the lower back, sacroiliac joint, and hips
The pelvis is a complex structure made of muscle, ligaments and bones. It is an essential part of core stability and one of the most overused and undervalued parts of the human body.
Our clinic educates clients to understand how the pelvis works, which empowers our clients to shift their attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs about this region of the body.
We often hold our stress in our pelvis, so our clinic helps our patients develop awareness of what is—and what is not—a “normal” feeling.
Pessaries are a medical device used to manage pelvic organ prolapse and stress urinary incontinence; think like a sports bra for your pelvic organs
Nicola not only fits them but mentors and teaches other therapists about them. There is not one size fits all and this is why it is important to spend the time being assessed trying different styles and sizes to find the best option for you and your lifestyle.
Non-Surgical Solution: Pessaries provide a non-invasive alternative to surgery for managing pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence.
Immediate Support and Relief: They offer immediate support to pelvic organs, helping alleviate symptoms like bulging and discomfort.
Customizable and Convenient: Available in various shapes and sizes, pessaries can be customized for individual comfort and needs, making them a practical and flexible option.
Many people experience issues with balance at some point in their lives. The vestibular system—better known as the inner ear and brain—helps control balance and eye movement.
If you experience an injury, illness or physical change to any of these systems, you might experience vertigo, imbalance, hearing problems, nausea and vomiting, headaches, motion sensitivity, and intolerance of crowds.
Our goal with vestibular rehabilitation is to assess the potential causes and get straight to the source of your balance issue.
Our therapists use individualized exercises to improve balance function to help symptoms of dizziness and vertigo.
Dizziness can be a scary thing to experience, so our approach will help you regain confidence with every step.
Psychotherapy can help treat challenges and symptoms relating to mental health and emotions.
Psychotherapy, is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. The goal is to help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing.
Problems helped by psychotherapy include difficulties in coping with daily life; the impact of trauma, medical illness or loss, like the death of a loved one; and specific mental disorders, like depression or anxiety.
The goals of treatment and arrangements for how often and how long to meet are planned jointly by the patient and therapist.
Therapy may be conducted in an individual, family, couple, or group setting, and can help both children and adults.
