Hey there, I’m Dr. Mac—Air Force veteran, chiropractor, and proud American.

Every Veterans Day, I take a moment to remember where I came from, who I served beside, and why I do what I do now. My mission in the Air Force was to serve my country. My mission today is to serve my community—especially the brave men and women who’ve worn the uniform.

At McNamara Health & Wellness in Wesley Chapel, I see firsthand how service takes a toll on the body. The long marches, heavy gear, physical strain, and even the stress of service can linger long after a veteran’s tour is over. But here’s the good news—chiropractic care helps restore mobility, reduce pain, and bring comfort back to those who’ve sacrificed so much.

The Hidden Cost of Service—Chronic Pain Among Veterans

Serving in the military means pushing your body to its limits. Veterans deal with conditions like:

• Back and neck pain from carrying gear and long patrols
• Joint stiffness from repetitive physical training
• Headaches or migraines related to stress and tension
• Sciatica and nerve pain from heavy lifting or injury
• Arthritis and mobility issues from years of physical strain

Unfortunately, many veterans learn to “just live with it.” But pain doesn’t have to be part of the uniform you wear after service.

How Chiropractic Care Helps Veterans Recover and Thrive

Chiropractic care is more than a quick adjustment—it’s about helping the body heal naturally, without heavy reliance on medications.

At my clinic, I take a whole-body approach that focuses on the spine, nervous system, and muscle balance. Here’s how chiropractic helps:

✅ 1. Pain Relief Without Medication

Adjustments reduce pressure on nerves and joints, helping veterans find relief without dependency on painkillers.

✅ 2. Better Mobility and Flexibility

Realignment restores natural movement, which helps veterans stay active and independent.

✅ 3. Improved Sleep and Energy

When pain eases and nerves function better, your body can rest and recharge.

✅ 4. Stress and Tension Reduction

Adjustments calm the nervous system, helping veterans manage anxiety and post-service stress.

✅ 5. Whole-Body Healing

From joint care to posture correction, we create personalized wellness plans for lasting recovery.

Veterans and Chiropractic Care—A Natural Partnership

Many veterans are surprised to learn the VA (Department of Veterans Affairs) recognizes chiropractic care as a valuable service for musculoskeletal conditions. Chiropractic is safe, non-invasive, and often used alongside physical therapy and massage to help veterans recover naturally.

As a veteran myself, I understand what years of physical strain can do to the body. That’s why I make it my mission to create a welcoming, understanding environment for veterans who visit my clinic.

When you’ve served your country, you deserve care that honors that service—with patience, respect, and real results.

My Personal Mission as a Veteran Chiropractor

I’ve walked in those boots. I know the pride, the challenges, and yes, the pain that comes with military life.

When I transitioned from service to civilian life, I wanted to keep serving—just in a new way. Chiropractic gave me that purpose. Now, I help veterans stand taller, move easier, and feel stronger every single day.

It’s not just about the spine—it’s about giving back to those who’ve given everything.
