Neck Pain: More Than Muscle Tension
Neck pain and stiffness can limit your quality of life, making it hard to work, drive, or sleep. At Advanced Chiropractic & Neurology, we know that neck pain involves more than muscle tension. It can stem from cervical disc herniations, nerve compression, joint dysfunction, or postural imbalances that developed over time. Dr. McClaren's functional neurology expertise lets our team evaluate both the structural and neurological components of your neck pain. We use targeted chiropractic adjustments to restore proper cervical alignment, spinal decompression to relieve disc-related pressure, and physiotherapy to strengthen supporting muscles. Our approach also addresses contributing factors like ergonomics and posture, helping you achieve lasting relief. If your neck pain developed over time or resulted from an injury, our La Vista team creates an individualized plan to reduce your pain and restore full range of motion.

Related Conditions
Back Pain
Back pain is one of the most common reasons patients visit Advanced Chiropractic & Neurology. Your pain might be a dull, constant ache or a sudden, sharp sensation that limits mobility. Either way, our integrated approach combines chiropractic adjustments with functional neurology to address the root cause. Dr. McClaren and Dr. Carter evaluate spinal alignment, disc health, nerve function, and muscular imbalances to build a personalized treatment plan. Our La Vista office uses spinal decompression therapy, targeted chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy protocols, and therapeutic massage to relieve pressure on compressed nerves and restore proper biomechanics. Most patients see improvement within the first few weeks of care. If your back pain stems from poor posture, a workplace injury, degenerative disc disease, or a herniated disc, we focus on conservative, non-surgical solutions that support long-term healing and help you return to the activities you enjoy.
Sciatica
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the sciatic nerve, traveling from the lower back through the hips and buttocks and down one or both legs. The pain can range from a mild, intermittent ache to severe, debilitating episodes that make standing, walking, or sitting difficult. At Advanced Chiropractic & Neurology, we take a thorough approach to identifying the specific cause of your sciatic nerve irritation, whether a herniated disc, spinal stenosis, piriformis syndrome, or degenerative changes. Dr. McClaren combines his functional neurology training with chiropractic expertise to evaluate both the structural compression and the neurological response driving your symptoms. Treatment may include spinal decompression therapy to relieve disc pressure on the nerve, targeted chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy exercises to stabilize the lumbar spine, and therapeutic stretching protocols. Our goal: reduce nerve irritation, restore proper spinal mechanics, and give you the tools to prevent recurrence.
Herniated Disc
A herniated or bulging disc occurs when the soft inner material of a spinal disc pushes through the tougher outer layer, compressing nearby nerves and causing pain, numbness, or weakness. At Advanced Chiropractic & Neurology, our non-surgical treatment approach relieves pressure on the affected nerve and supports your body's natural healing process. Dr. McClaren and Dr. Carter use spinal decompression therapy, a gentle, motorized traction technique that creates negative pressure within the disc to encourage retraction of the herniated material. Combined with targeted chiropractic adjustments to restore proper spinal alignment, physiotherapy to strengthen supporting musculature, and ergonomic guidance to prevent re-injury, our protocol addresses herniated discs at each stage of recovery. Dr. McClaren's functional neurology background also enables our team to monitor and support nerve recovery throughout your treatment plan, ensuring both the disc and the affected nerve heal properly.
Headaches & Migraines
Headaches and migraines affect millions of Americans, and many of these conditions originate from dysfunction in the cervical spine or nervous system. At Advanced Chiropractic & Neurology, Dr. McClaren's board certification in functional neurology (DACNB) makes our practice equipped to evaluate and treat the neurological components of chronic headaches and migraines. Our approach begins with a comprehensive examination that assesses spinal alignment, muscle tension, nerve function, and potential triggers. Treatment includes chiropractic adjustments to correct cervical misalignments that contribute to headache patterns, therapeutic massage to release tension in the neck and upper back, and functional neurology protocols that address the brain and nervous system's role in pain processing. We also evaluate lifestyle factors including posture, ergonomics, stress levels, and dietary triggers. Patients who have struggled with chronic headaches for years find relief through our integrated approach, reducing both the frequency and intensity of their episodes.
Auto Accident Injuries
Car accidents can cause a wide range of injuries that may not surface right away, sometimes taking days or weeks to manifest. At Advanced Chiropractic & Neurology, our team specializes in the early diagnosis and treatment of auto accident injuries, including whiplash, soft tissue damage, spinal misalignments, concussion-related symptoms, and nerve injuries. Dr. McClaren's functional neurology training is valuable for accident patients because it lets our team identify and treat neurological symptoms such as dizziness, cognitive fog, visual disturbances, and balance problems that often accompany car accident trauma. We perform a thorough examination after your accident to document all injuries, which is critical for both your recovery and your insurance claim. Our treatment protocols combine chiropractic adjustments, physiotherapy, massage therapy, and neurological rehabilitation to address the full spectrum of accident-related injuries. We also provide detailed documentation for insurance companies and attorneys.
Whiplash
Whiplash is a neck injury caused by a rapid, forceful back-and-forth movement of the head, most often from rear-end car accidents. The sudden motion can damage cervical vertebrae, discs, ligaments, muscles, nerves, and other soft tissues of the neck. At Advanced Chiropractic & Neurology, we know that whiplash injuries are often more complex than they appear. They can involve neurological symptoms like dizziness, brain fog, visual disturbances, and difficulty concentrating. Dr. McClaren's board certification in functional neurology (DACNB) and fellowship in brain injury rehabilitation (FABBIR) make our practice qualified to treat the full spectrum of whiplash-related symptoms. Our treatment approach combines gentle chiropractic adjustments to restore cervical alignment, physiotherapy to rebuild neck strength and stability, massage therapy to address muscle spasm and soft tissue damage, and neurological rehabilitation protocols when needed. We also provide thorough documentation for insurance and legal purposes.
