Conditions Dr. Waring treats

Neck pain

Stiff, achy or limited necks often come from posture, desk work, sleep or old injuries. Tight muscles and restricted joints pull everything out of balance.

How Dr. Waring helps: gentle neck adjustments restore motion, targeted muscle work releases tension, and simple stretches keep the relief going at home.

Back pain

Low- and mid-back pain can stem from lifting, sitting, strain or wear. Dr. Waring became a chiropractor after a teenage weightlifting back injury healed without drugs or surgery — so he understands it firsthand.

How Dr. Waring helps: spinal adjustments plus rehabilitative muscle work and exercise to calm pain and rebuild strength.

Sciatica

Sciatica is sharp, burning or radiating pain that travels from the low back into the hip and leg when the sciatic nerve is irritated or compressed.

How Dr. Waring helps: adjustments relieve pressure on the nerve, muscle work eases the surrounding tension, and stretches help keep the pain from returning.

Headache

Many everyday headaches are tension-type, driven by tight muscles and restricted joints in the neck and upper back.

How Dr. Waring helps: neck and spinal adjustments plus muscle release reduce the tension behind the pain — and he coaches you on posture and habits that trigger it.

Migraine

Migraines are intense, often one-sided headaches that can bring sensitivity to light, sound and movement. Neck tension and joint restriction can be a contributing factor for many people.

How Dr. Waring helps: gentle adjustments and muscle work to ease neck-related triggers, with referral to another provider when that is the better path.

Sports injuries

Strains, sprains and overuse injuries are part of training and competing. As “The Gym Chiropractor” and an NPC Mr. Michigan champion, Dr. Waring knows athletic bodies from the inside out.

How Dr. Waring helps: adjustments, hands-on muscle work and sport-specific exercise to recover faster, move better and prevent re-injury. Sports & athletic care

Auto injuries

Whiplash and soft-tissue strains from a car accident can show up days later. Getting evaluated early matters, even after a minor collision.

How Dr. Waring helps: a careful exam of the neck, back and joints, then an individualized plan of adjustments, muscle work and rehabilitative exercise to support recovery.

Wellness care

You don’t have to be in pain to benefit. Regular care helps keep your spine and muscles moving well so you feel and function better day to day.

How Dr. Waring helps: maintenance adjustments, mobility and strength guidance, and at-home self-care drawn from his elite training background.

Senior care

Stiffness, reduced mobility and everyday aches don’t have to come with age. Comfortable, conservative care can help you stay active and independent.

How Dr. Waring helps: gentle, individualized adjustments and muscle work, paired with simple exercises to maintain mobility and balance.

Pediatric care

Kids are active — sports, play and growing bodies all add up. Children respond well to gentle, low-force chiropractic care.

How Dr. Waring helps: careful, age-appropriate techniques tailored to each child, with referral whenever another discipline is the right call.

Pregnancy care

Pregnancy shifts posture and adds load to the back, hips and pelvis, which can mean new aches and discomfort.

How Dr. Waring helps: comfortable positioning and gentle methods to ease back, hip and pelvic discomfort, always matched to where you are in your pregnancy.

Care for all ages

From young athletes to active seniors, Dr. Waring cares for the whole family. Treatment is always individualized — never one-size-fits-all.

How Dr. Waring helps: a plan built around your body, your goals and your stage of life, with honest guidance on when chiropractic care is — and isn’t — the right fit.
