What Our Customers Say
In our 25 years of practice, we've worked with some awesome clients who love us and our services. Check what they have to say about us:
"McGrath Chiropractic helped me with my nerve pain! In August, 2006, I was diagnosed with a disc protrusion of my L5 vertebrae and could barely remain upright. This condition was accompanied by constant sciatic nerve pain. The pain was so severe that I thought surgery was the only alternative. However, to my delight, just 10 weeks after my initial visit and consultation at McGrath Chiropractic, the pain has subsided tremendously and I have experienced a significant increase in strength. The doctors prescribed a comprehensive approach to my recovery which includes a combination of physical therapy, cold laser therapy, electronic stimulation, traction, therapeutic massage, and chiropractic care. These doctors utilize the most advanced medical technology and techniques available in the field of chiropractic while incorporating proven fundamental methodologies. The staff at McGrath Chiropractic is courteous and professional. The treatment that I have received from McGrath Chiropractic has been nothing less than "World Class!" - Joseph G.
