A Drug-Free Approach to Pain Management
Pain management at Advanced Chiropractic & Neurology in La Vista takes a different approach than most patients are used to. Instead of prescribing medication to mask symptoms, Dr. John W. McClaren and Dr. Colby J. Carter identify and treat the underlying structural, neurological, and muscular causes of your pain. Our integrated pain management protocols combine chiropractic adjustments, functional neurology assessments, physiotherapy, therapeutic massage, and spinal decompression into a coordinated treatment plan built around your specific condition. We treat patients with chronic low back pain, neck pain, neuropathy, fibromyalgia, arthritis, and complex pain syndromes that have not responded to conventional medical treatment. Dr. McClaren's advanced training in functional neurology allows our team to evaluate how the nervous system contributes to chronic pain patterns, an approach that most pain clinics do not offer. We serve patients from across the greater Omaha metro, including Bellevue, Papillion, and Ralston, many of whom come to us after years of relying on medication without lasting results. Our goal is to reduce your pain, restore your function, and give you a sustainable path forward that does not depend on drugs or surgery.
How Pain Management Works at ACN
Your pain management at ACN starts with an in-depth evaluation that goes beyond the standard exam. Dr. McClaren and Dr. Carter assess your posture, spinal alignment, range of motion, neurological function, and muscle balance to build a complete picture of what is driving your pain. We also review your medical history, prior imaging, and treatments you have tried before. Based on this evaluation, we create a multi-modal treatment plan that may include chiropractic adjustments to restore proper spinal mechanics, spinal decompression for disc-related pain, physiotherapy to rebuild strength and stability, therapeutic massage to release chronic muscle tension, and functional neurology protocols when your nervous system is amplifying or perpetuating pain signals. Each modality serves a specific purpose in your recovery, and they work together to produce better results than any single treatment alone. Your plan is monitored and adjusted at regular intervals based on measurable outcomes: pain levels, range of motion, functional capacity, and your ability to return to daily activities. We keep treatment frequency as efficient as possible and transition you toward self-management as your condition improves.

Conditions Treated with Pain Management
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.
Neck Pain
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.
