Conditions
OF WHO WE HELP
MCN uses a Neuro-Orthopedic approach and cutting-edge therapies, equipment and treatment modalities to diagnose and support individuals experiencing a wide range of health conditions and symptoms.
See How We Can Help
Lower Back Pain/Sciatica
- Range: mild soreness to sharpshooting pain
- Cause: spinal cord begins pressing down on sciatic nerve
- Symptoms: immobility, lower body weakness, pain and numbness
Neck Pain
- Due to stiffness and musculoskeletal strain
- Cause: abnormal or excessive neck movements, poor posture, or injury
- Common condition that can be a sign of a more severe underlying health issue
Musculoskeletal Pain
- Discomfort and damage of muscles, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and bones
- Cause: wide range of underlying conditions
- Symptoms: a mild to severe sense of fatigue, pain, or weakness
Sports Injuries
- Cause: athletic competition actively contracts and strains the musculoskeletal system
- Injuries may be sudden during a sports event
- Injuries may be gradual from long-term accumulation of stress and fatigue
Arm/Shoulder Pain
- Due to overuse, disuse, or abnormal body movement
- Shoulder pain is often caused by inflammation, arthritis, or connectivity issues around the joint
- Arm pain can be a general soreness due to misuse, or a symptom of an underlying condition
Vertigo/Dizziness/Balance Disorders
- Typically lasts a few seconds, triggered by specific head movements that affect the brain or vestibular system
- Can be sudden, causing nausea or falls when severe
- Symptoms: spinning sensation that causes dizziness and imbalance
Post-concussion Syndrome
- Concussion symptoms that persist significantly longer than usual
- Often lasting weeks, months, or even years
- May cause headaches, memory issues, fatigue, and dizziness
Whiplash Injuries
- A form of neck pain caused by a sudden jerk or movement
- Most common cause: car collisions and sports injuries
- Can cause widespread musculoskeletal pain, vertigo, and immobility
Motor Vehicle Accident Injuries
- Can cause a wide-range of potential injuries
- Most common injuries: whiplash, concussion, and musculoskeletal pain
- Cause: wide range of underlying conditions
- Depending on a patient’s case, it can take days to weeks or months and years to recover
Headaches
- Range: mild to severe sense of pressure on top of the skull
- Causes: stress, poor posture, lack of food or hydration, and poor sleep habits
- Can be a chronic condition, & a sign of a more severe underlying symptom
Migraines
- Intense form of headache that can last from hours to days
- Often accompanied by an increased sensitivity to light and sound
- Symptoms include nausea and dizziness
Bulging / Herniated Discs
- Develops within the spinal cord
- Cause: strain, injury, and natural wear and tear
- Symptoms: pain, discomfort, and immobility throughout the back and/or extremities
Radiating Numbness/Tingling
- Pain and discomfort that travels throughout the body, spreading across the nervous system
- Causes: herniated discs and other forms of nerve damage
- Symptoms: numbing and tingling sensation
Hip/Knee/Foot Pain
- Inflammation and deteriorating cartilage are typically what causes joint immobility
- Causes: poor walking habits and general wear and tear
- Can negatively affect the musculoskeletal system
Failed Back Surgery
- Fairly common
- Abnormalities along the spinal cord and nervous system can often redirect pain to extremities
- Underlying health issues can be difficult to diagnose
Chronic Pain
- A permanent discomfort and bodily abnormality
- Traditionally diagnosed after weeks, or months of continuous symptoms
- Commonly affects the musculoskeletal system
Spinal Stenosis
- Occurs when the narrow openings within the backbone become smaller and restricted
- Causes widespread damage to the nervous system and musculoskeletal system
- Symptoms: pain, discomfort, numbness and tingling
Metabolic Issues
- Causes an inability to correct irregularities
- May affect: weight, digestion, blood pressure, blood sugar, and a body’s ability to process various chemicals
Leaky Gut
- Ineffective intestinal lining can allow food and liquid to slip through and infect underlying tissue
- Causes issues such as fatigue, diarrhea, nutritional deficiencies
- May cause musculoskeletal problems
Food Allergies
- Reactions can be benign or aggressive
- Most severe conditions can be life-threatening
- Symptoms: watery eyes, runny nose, itching, swelling, and loss of breath
Arthritis
- Inflammation and deterioration of joints
- Causes immobility and pain
- Typically occurs during old age as a result of natural wear and tear
Peripheral Neuropathy/Diabetic Neuropathy
- The deterioration of nerves connecting to the extremities
- Typically occurs in hands and feet
- Causes the affected areas to go numb and have a “pins and needles” sensation
Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
- Nerves, veins, and muscles between the collarbone and uppermost rib are compressed
- Causes: occupations or sports that require extensive use of the upper body
- Symptoms: upper body pain, numbness, and immobility
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
- Nerves within the wrist are restricted and compressed
- Causes: wrist injuries and excessive use
- Pressure can build suddenly or gradually over time
Early Alzheimer’s Symptoms
- Symptoms: memory loss, confusion, delusion, poor judgement, and a general decrease of cognitive ability, irritability, depression, common mood swings
Fibromyalgia
- Affects the entire musculoskeletal system
- Causes weakness, fatigue, sleep issues, mood swings, and severe pain in the most extreme cases
- Much about this condition remains unknown
RLS (Restless Leg Syndrome)
- Constant ache or urge to move one’s legs
- Can be uncomfortable and cause sleep issues in most cases
Insomnia/Sleep Abnormalities
- The inability to sleep, usually for days or weeks
- Can cause mental deterioration, fatigue, delusion, irritability, and depression
Parkinson's Disease
- Damaged nerves within the brain causes body compulsions and uncontrollable shaking
- Symptoms: loss of mobility and balance
- Can have long-term effects on one’s motor functions
Wellness Care
- Correcting one’s lifestyle and habits to prevent long-term health issues
- Seeks to proactively eliminate problems before they arise, opposed to only fixing them when they do occur
