Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care focuses on restoring spinal alignment and nervous system function through evidence-based techniques. We address conditions like back pain, headaches, and sciatica by correcting structural imbalances. Patients benefit from personalized plans combining adjustments, postural exercises, and rehabilitation to improve mobility and reduce pain naturally.
Pettibon System
The Pettibon System uses specialized equipment and weighted exercises to retrain muscles and ligaments for proper spinal alignment. This method targets postural distortions through traction, vibration therapy, and muscle stimulation. Patients experience long-term relief from chronic pain and improved biomechanical stability through this structured rehabilitation approach.
Sports Chiropractic
Sports chiropractic enhances athletic performance and recovery through extremity adjustments and biomechanical analysis. We address injuries like sprains, strains, and joint pain while optimizing movement patterns. Athletes receive tailored care to prevent injuries, improve flexibility, and maintain peak physical condition using techniques like muscle testing and orthotics.
Pregnancy Chiropractic
Pregnancy chiropractic care alleviates discomfort during pregnancy through gentle adjustments and pelvic alignment. We use techniques like Sacro Occipital Technique to reduce back pain, improve labor outcomes, and support maternal wellness. Patients benefit from safer, more comfortable pregnancies and easier deliveries through regular, non-invasive treatments.
Pediatric Chiropractic
Pediatric chiropractic care supports children's development through gentle adjustments starting from infancy. We address issues like colic, posture problems, and sports-related injuries. Early intervention helps prevent future health problems, promoting optimal nervous system function and overall wellness for growing children through safe, age-appropriate techniques.

This office is a Godsend! Dr McKelvy got directly to the source of some of my chronic issues. He not only treats the symptoms but actually corrects the issues. Everyone on the staff is helpful, cheerful and competent. This is the place to go for your overall health not just chiropractic.

They have helped me tremendously with all My problems as far as my hips and back hurting to my migraines that I would get about every week or two that would last 3 to 4 days. Now I barely have any migraines, my hips don't have as many sharp pains when I walk or stand at work. I'm only about 8 months in and I'm loving the results so far

I was referred by multiple friends to see Optimal Health Chiropractic after trying to "wait it out" for several weeks with severe lower back pain that was radiating pain down my right leg. The staff and Dr. McKelvey were extremely welcoming and got me in right away. After a thorough examination that revealed the source of my pain and beginning a treatment plan, I was able to get back to normal and begin running and exercising again! I highly recommend making Optimal Health Chiropractic Care!

I have been a patient for a few years now. I originally went for herniated disc's and sciatic nerve issues. I was literally dragging my leg in order to walk. Dr. McElvey fixed me right up! Now I'm visiting every 2 weeks for maintenance. They Are The BEST!

I came to Optimal Health over a year ago with severe pain in my lower back which had never happened before. Through a program of regular adjustments and exercise I have been pain free almost from the beginning and can definitely tell a lower spinal injury from many years ago has improved over the process. A friend recommended Optimal Health to me and I am so glad he did. I would definitely recommend a visit to Optimal Health if anyone is having back or neck pain or restricted movement. The entire staff is very professional and they are very efficient and respectful of your time at the appointments.

I cannot say enough good things about this office. I started going to them a few months before I was set to move out of the state. They welcomed me with open arms and treated me as if I had been going there for years. I was having a lot of hip issues and migraines. I had gotten to the point where it was becoming hard for me to exercise. Since going there I was able to continue my workout regime with significantly less pain. If you need a Chiropractor this is 100% the place that you should choose.
