McTimoney Chiropractic

Roger Marino's McTimoney technique realigns your whole body using quick, gentle hand adjustments, rather than the higher-force thrusts some people associate with chiropractic care. Read on to see what it can help with, and what happens in your free assessment.

Chiropractic care aims to realign and rebalance the body to ease pain and improve mobility. McTimoney Chiropractic does this through a gentle, whole-body technique, quick, precise, low-force hand adjustments across the whole skeleton, not just the spine, rather than the higher-force thrusts sometimes used in standard chiropractic. Many patients don’t get the popping or cracking sound associated with other methods.

Joints can lose a degree of their normal movement for all sorts of reasons, day-to-day habits, a fall, or ongoing poor posture, showing up as pain, stiffness or restricted movement. Roger treats the whole skeleton in a session, not just the joint that hurts, working from the idea that misalignment in one area often shows up as pain somewhere else. It’s why this approach suits people who want an effective but gentler option, including children, pregnant women and older adults.
