This is the kind of message that reminds us why we do what we do. 💙

Grady came to us with severe back spasms so bad he could not walk. After an in-depth analysis of what was actually driving the problem and a few adjustments, he felt significant improvement in both pain and mobility. In his words, "Highly recommend!"

Here is what we love about Grady's story. It started where so many do, with pain intense enough to stop you in your tracks. And it turned around the same way every good outcome does: not with a guess, but with a real look at the underlying issue before any hands-on care began.

That is the Mahoney difference. We take the time to understand your case, build a plan around it, and guide you every step of the way. Friendly staff, a thorough approach, and an experience that earns reviews like this one.

If back pain or spasms are keeping you from the things you love, you do not have to just push through it. Let us take a look and build a plan around you.

Your turn to feel the difference. 👇

If you are dealing with disc pain or sciatica and wondering whether spinal decompression is right for you, you probably have questions. Good. The best patients are the informed ones.

We put together answers to the things we hear most often: whether the treatment hurts, how many sessions you might need, how it differs from a standard adjustment or an inversion table, whether it is covered by insurance, and the big one, whether it can help you avoid surgery.

The short version? For most people, spinal decompression is comfortable and well tolerated. It works best as part of a personalized plan alongside chiropractic care and spinal rehab, not as a one-and-done quick fix. And for many patients with disc herniations, conservative care like this can reduce symptoms to the point where surgery is no longer on the table.

We will always be straight with you. If your case calls for a surgical opinion, we will tell you. If decompression is not the right fit, we will tell you that too. No pressure, no overselling, just an honest assessment built around your goals.

Still have a question we did not cover? Reach out. We would rather you walk in on day one feeling completely informed.

When a 48-year-old office worker came to Mahoney Chiropractic Group, he had been living with right-sided sciatica for seven months. Pain, numbness, and tingling ran from his buttock all the way into his foot. He had given up his evening walks and was waking multiple times a night. Over-the-counter anti-inflammatories had barely touched it.

Here is what non-surgical, conservative care looked like for him 👇

🔎 The assessment: A full exam showed restricted lumbar movement, a positive straight leg raise, a diminished reflex, and mild foot weakness. His MRI confirmed a disc herniation at L4-5 with moderate nerve root compression. Once red flags were ruled out, he was cleared for conservative care.

🗓️ The 12-week plan: Care started with three spinal decompression sessions per week targeting L4-5, combined with chiropractic adjustments and Class IV laser therapy. As he improved, sessions were reduced and spinal rehabilitation was introduced, progressing from mobility work to stability and disc protection.

📈 The progress: By week three, leg pain had dropped about 40 percent and sleep improved to five or six uninterrupted hours. By week five he was walking again. By week ten, pain at rest had fully resolved and he was back to all recreational activity.

📊 The numbers: His Oswestry Disability Index dropped from 52 percent (severe disability) to 18 percent (minimal disability). That is a meaningful return to quality of life, not just less pain.

🔄 What came next: Recovery did not end at week twelve. Monthly visits and a home rehab plan keep him strong, mobile, and out of the clinic.

This is what a personalized plan does. We do not run one-size-fits-all protocols. We assess, build around your goals, and guide you back to the life you want.

If disc pain or sciatica has been running your life, spinal decompression is the treatment worth understanding.

Here is the simple version. A specialized motorized table applies gentle, controlled traction to targeted segments of your spine, creating negative pressure inside the disc. That pressure helps pull herniated material away from irritated nerves and draws oxygen, water, and nutrients back in to support natural healing. It is precise, comfortable, and a world apart from a passive stretch.

The signs that it might help are ones a lot of people quietly live with: radiating leg or arm pain, numbness in the hands or feet, and pain that flares with sitting or bending. When that kind of discomfort starts stealing your sleep, your focus, and your daily life, conservative care may be the relief you have been looking for.
We will be honest with you though.

Spinal decompression is not a magic quick fix, and it is not right for everyone. That is exactly why every case starts with a thorough assessment to confirm it is the right fit for you. When it is, it works best as part of a personalized plan alongside chiropractic care and spinal rehab.

"Priming" Your Joints 🦵

To build better mobility, we love using CARs (Controlled Articular Rotations). These are slow, intentional circles that prime your nervous system’s connection to the joint

The 2-Minute Morning "Pre-Game": Before the next time you grab the rake or the golf clubs, try this:

⭐ Shoulder CARs: Stand tall and move your arm in a giant, slow circle. Reach forward, up past your ear, then rotate your palm outward as you reach behind you. Do 3 slow circles per side.

⭐ Hip CARs: Use a wall or chair for balance. Lift one knee toward your chest, move it out to the side (like a dog at a fire hydrant), then rotate your foot back and around to complete the circle. Do 3 slow circles each way.

🌟 The Goal: Imagine you’re moving through thick honey. You’re showing your brain exactly where your range of motion is so you can move more confidently all day.

The Foundation: Alignment & Your Nervous System

Before you even start moving, your body needs a clear "map." This is where the chiropractic adjustment comes in.

When your spine is out of alignment, it creates "static" on the communication highway between your brain and your muscles and joints. By getting adjusted, we’re essentially hitting the "reset" button—clearing that interference so your brain can efficiently control your movements.

The truth is, when your spine and nervous system are functioning as they should, you are far less likely to 'pull something' or face a setback. Your body simply works better, reacting and supporting you exactly when you need it most.

Think of it this way: An adjustment restores the communication, while mobility work keeps the signal strong!

As the weather finally warms up, Dr. Rolón and I are seeing a lot of "weekend warrior" aches and overuse injuries coming into the office.

Whether you’re finally clearing the garden beds, hiking, or getting out on the golf course, it’s that time of year when we ask a lot of our bodies.

Lately, we heard a common refrain from many practice members: "I don't get it—I stretch every morning!" Here’s the secret: Stretching is only part of the story.

Flexibility vs. Mobility: The Missing Link
We often use these words interchangeably, but they play very different roles in how you feel:

🔵 Flexibility: This is passive. It’s how far a muscle can be pulled (like reaching for your toes).

🔵 Mobility: This is active. It’s your ability to control your joints through their full range of motion using your own strength.

🔵 The Bottom Line: Flexibility is having the room to move; mobility is having the power to move safely. Think of mobility as your "insurance policy" against those nagging aches that pop up after a long day in the yard.

Dr. Kenzie here! Dr. Rolón and I get asked all the time for nutrition recommendations, and a good starting place is always a high-quality collagen supplement to support your whole body.

We love supplementing our diets with high-quality collagen because it's an essential building block for your entire body, including the incredibly complex supporting structures of your spine and joints.

🔹 The Age Factor: Your body starts producing less collagen as early as your 20s. This decline accelerates with age.

🔹 Where You Notice It First: Many people initially see the effects in their skin, hair, and nails (wrinkles, fine lines, thinning hair, brittle nails).

🔹 The Connective Tissue Impact: Critically, decreased collagen levels also impact the connective tissues around your joints and spine. The resulting wear and tear contributes to pain, stiffness, injuries, and premature aging of these crucial structures.

🔹 Total Body Support: Beyond the spine, collagen is a great way to support the health of your gut, skin, hair, and nails!

🔹Healing: Quality supplementation supports your body's natural ability to repair and maintain tissue health.

🔹 How to Use: It mixes well into any hot beverage like coffee or tea!

Wondering how to try out weighted walking? You don't need any fancy equipment to start, you likely have everything you need at home:

🔷 The Gear: Find a sturdy backpack with wide, padded straps.

🔷 The Weight: Add books, water bottles, or small hand weights. Aim for 5-10% of your body weight. (e.g., if you weigh 150 lbs, aim for 7-15 lbs).

🔷The Fit: Ensure the weight is snug against your back and not sagging toward your lower lumbar spine.

🔹 Tip: If you find yourself leaning forward to compensate for the weight, lighten the load. Your goal is to keep your ears stacked directly over your shoulders. Imagine a string pulling the crown of your head toward the sky.

Avoid "tech neck" (leaning your head forward); instead, keep your gaze on the horizon and your shoulders retracted.

Your spine will thank you!

⚠️ A Quick Note on Safety
If you have a history of disc injuries or significant joint pain, please chat with us at your next visit before adding weight to your routine. We want to ensure your "power walk" is supportive, not straining!
