FIRST THINGS FIRST
Good Health Starts at the Top
If the top of your spine is misaligned, it can create a domino effect with resulting trauma to vital organs and extremities, causing chronic pain and health problems. At McKinzie Chiropractic & Nutrition, your health audit starts with the atlas, the first vertebrae at the top of the spine below the skull. This is where treatment begins, with our promise of top-down cervical spine care. We also believe that good healthcare should include proper nutrition, but: first things first.
HEAD, NECK BACK CARE
Too often, old-school chiropractors focus on the SITE of back pain, instead of the SOURCE of the pain. In most cases, the source of discomfort will prove to be the upper cervical spine. The atlas. The first vertebra below the skull. READ MORE

What is Upper Cervical Care?
WOW how can explain how much Dr Mackenzie has helped me over the years. If you think he’s one of the “crack” ‘em chiropractors, you’d be wrong! He takes & X-rays and then he knows what to do intuitively to me! 100000000/10 for a rating!He told my husband several years ago, if he would’ve went a chiro like the one described above;he could have been paralyzed because of his neck structure.Summer, the assistant is so precious too! The office runs so smoothly under her tutelage.I was referred to him in Dec 2016. He found out that I had a birth defect on #3 on my spine and arthritis on 4-8.Their knowledge on the nutrition side is excellent too; he will have a complete write up from you as far as ailments & can steer you in the right direction as well.I truly appreciate all he's done for me and still continues to do; I feel like I should pay him fees for counseling too!

This is actually David's wife Gail. I am so grateful for Dr. McKinzie. I never considered the possibility that feet could be a part of my treatment. One day while I was in his office, I explained that the bones in my feet felt like they were shattering. He volunteered that he could help me with that too. It has made all the difference.

Whatever image comes to mind when you think "chiropractor," erase it. Dr. McKinzie is a spine and neck specialist, and his approach is unlike anything I had ever heard of: it's extremely gentle (no rack 'em and crack 'em), and there is nothing painful or uncomfortable about it. Really, it's so gentle that you wonder how it could work, but the spine is such a delicately balanced system, that consistent, delicate changes make a big difference.I'm proof of that. After suffering with progressive lower back pain for 30 years, the pain is gone, and my range of motion is normal. And I'm someone who had to use my arms to pull myself out of bed every morning because my back was so stiff and sore, not to mention the lifting and bending I could not do. I lived with it because I didn't think I had a choice.Now I am a former skeptic, and I would recommend Dr. McKinzie to anyone of any age. In fact, I have, and he was done as many wonders with them as he did with me. His prices are affordable; his staff is friendly, and he does everything in-house: from the initial x-ray to figure out what's going on through every regular follow-up appointment, which usually lasts no more than 5 minutes.If you have resigned yourself to living with back or neck pain as I had, then it's worth visiting Dr. McKinzie. After reviewing your x-rays, he will tell you if he can't help you, and if he can help you, then get ready to gain some your old life back. He showed me the impossible is actually possible, and I am so very grateful for him.

Very personalized and gentle chiropractic care! I had a C1 fracture and have had neck pain for many years. I have also seen many chiropractors over the years-who have all helped, but I had finally gotten to a point where I had changes in my pain and frequency of migraines. I was referred to Dr. McKenzie by my chiro to see if he could help my neck-and it has helped tremendously! All the staff is very helpful and friendly.

If there were 100 stars, I'd click on 100. I cannot say enough about Dr. McKinzie and Jan. They have been just incredible to me and very professional.It was August 2019, when I had a fall and ended up breaking my left wrist, resulting in sugery. I'd also fallen on my left hip at the time, but literally had no pain or bruising from that. In September, pain began creeping up into my left piriformis, sciatica and IT band. At the time I had no clue what the piriformis was or did. I never want to witness that pain again.Long story short, I had tried just about everything I could think of and nothing seemed to help, even a little. Against my wanting to, I decided to try spinal injections. When you're in that much pain it begins to affect your quality of life. Still no relief at all. I had pretty much given up and could feel some depression setting in.In early March of 2020. I met a lady, who told me about Dr. McKinzie. I figured what have I got to lose, so I called the next week. Fast forward 1 year and a few months, I no longer think of that pain at all. I am 100% back to me :)Dr McKinzie carefully examines and adjusts my body at each visit, according to his findings. Over time, with the exercises and all he gave me, along with lots of prayer and positive thoughts, I am able to live pain free, my healthy active life, I work so hard at having.Age is just a number to me! I am not one, and I hope I never am, one who blames aches, pains, weight gain, disease or whatever on age. Our bodies are meant to move and take care of us and I will continue taking the best care of me, that I can, along with chiropractic work with Dr. McKinzie. as long as I'm blessed to be here.He's the best 🙂

Dr. McKinzie is one of the kindest people I know. He truly cares about his patients, takes the time to listen, and seek the best options for each individual with a targeted plan for their specific conditions. He doesn't quickly "adjust" and boot you out the door. Jan, at the front desk always has a smile and makes everyone feel comfortable and welcome. If you are in pain or have medical issues, it might be an upper cervical alignment issue. Check it out... what have you got to loose?

I was referred to Dr. McKinzie because I was having severe nerve pain in my neck and head. So much that I was taking pain medication daily in order to function. Within a couple of weeks of adjustments and supplements, my pain reduced significantly. In fact, the other day was the first day I did not have to take any pain medication in over 3 months. Dr. McKinzie is very knowledgeable and explained everything in detail to me. I am so thankful to be going to him. I definitely recommend going to see him if you are in pain.

I first visited McKinzie Chiropractic & Nutrition over a year ago. I had hurt my back and could barely walk. I called and they got me in right away, set up xrays and adjusted me twice that day! Since then I have been a regular patient and have been almost entirely pain free! Before my first visit I had never been to a chiropractor before and didn't know what to expect. Dr. McKinzie took the time to go over my xrays with me and explained what was wrong and what the treatment would be. The staff is always friendly and the office is always clean & neat. Thank you Dr. McKinzie for getting me back on my feet!
