Pregnancy
“Highly recommend! They go over the entire process of chiropractic care in your first appointment and explain why you are feeling how you are. Everything he pinpointed was exactly things I was feeling wrong and within a few weeks I felt so much better! They also provide and encourage care through pregnancy which I think is cool because some won’t but it’s very beneficial!”

Chiropractic is great for expecting mothers and women trying to get pregnant
Chiropractic utilizes gentle adjusting procedures to help align the spine so that the whole body functions better. Chiropractic offers expecting mothers the opportunity for less pain during pregnancy, as well as less labor pain, and reduced possibility of complications.
Breach Birth and Webster’s Technique: We have doctors on staff trained in Webster’s Technique through the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association. By aligning the spine and reducing nerve pressure, then gently releasing restriction in the round ligaments we are able to relax the muscles holding the babies position. Many times the baby will be able to shift around on its own and get in a proper position. We have had babies move from breach to the head down position just 2 days prior to delivery.
For women who would like to get pregnant but have been unable to, Chiropractic offers them the opportunity to get their body functioning at an optimal level to adapt the changes needed for a healthy pregnancy. We have worked with multiple women who were unable to get pregnant for many years and after nutrition and chiropractic intervention, they were able to conceive and have a healthy pregnancy.
Sciatica (Pain down the leg)
“I was out of work for 2 weeks with a sciatic nerve in my hip and leg. I was desperate, I was in so much pain and could not walk or sleep at night. Now I'm able to control and manage my pain thanks to chiropractor care!”
- Cheryl R.
The Sciatic nerve originates in the lower back and travels down the back of both legs. When the nerve gets pinched or pulled it can cause lower back pain, as well as, pain down either or both legs. When the pain radiates down the back of the leg past the knee it is true sciatica nerve pain.
Chiropractic removes the nerve interference by determining which area(s) in the lower back are out of alignment or subluxated. After subluxated areas have been identified, they are specifically and gently adjusted back into position.
Neck Pain
“I feel so much better! I received care from both Dr. Brent and Dr. Matt, who are both amazing at what they do. I never felt like a patient filtering in and out, but rather someone who is receiving great care and attention every time I stop in for a visit. I can't thank this office enough for how much they have helped me the last few months!”

Neck pain can be divided into two categories, acute and chronic.
Many people who have had a recent slip, fall, car accident, or other trauma will have acute neck pain. Acute neck pain can affect every part of your daily life. Our chiropractors have been trained to quickly identify the areas that are causing your problem and use both active and passive rehab techniques to get you results fast.
Chronic neck pain is very common in our society due to the amount of time spent at desks, on computers, and looking down at cell phones. All of these behaviors can lead to gradual changes to the spine and over time lead to chronic neck problems. Through chiropractic, specific exercises, and proper postural education many people are able to alleviate this pain and prevent future problems.
Lower back pain
“I cannot state how happy I am with results I wouldn't have dreamt possible.”

If you have lower back pain you are not alone. Many people suffer from lower back pain as a result of old injuries, sedentary occupations, improper lifting techniques, or any number of other causes. No matter the cause, our doctors of chiropractic are trained to assess and correct the cause of your lower back pain. During your initial visit, our doctors conduct a thorough exam to determine any problem areas and may take X-rays to evaluate the underlying structures. Our doctors strive for effective communication and patient education so that you can make the best possible choice for your healthcare needs.
Headaches and Migraines
“This office is the only place I send people too. The Dr.s there care about your health and well-being. The staff is amazing and will put the patients top priority. If you are looking for a chiropractor, Bloomington-Normal Spine Clinic is the place to go!”

We have treated patients with common headaches, cluster headaches, migraines, tension headaches, and many other types of headaches with great success. When the upper or lower neck are out of alignment, creating pressure on the nerves or spinal cord, it can cause a variety of different headaches. By evaluating an individual’s posture, spinal alignment, muscle tension, and any tissue swelling; our doctors are able to pin-point the area(s) creating these headaches. Several factors that contribute to the actual cause of headaches include stress, trauma, posture problems, spinal misalignment and diet. By addressing the spinal alignment and eliminating the other factors we have had a great success rate; helping people alleviate or even eliminate their headaches and migraines.
Shoulder Pain
Chiropractic is very effective for people with shoulder problems. We have had great results with people suffering from frozen shoulder, bursitis, shoulder impingement, rotator cuff pain, general shoulder pain, shoulder blade pain, and many other problems involving the shoulder. Our approach involves adjustments of the spine and any other part of the shoulder that is not functioning optimally including the clavicle, shoulder blade, humerus and any ribs that may be involved. After your body is in alignment we have a fantastic physio therapy approach to help reduce impingement, improve shoulder blade function, and strengthen the rotator cuff muscles.
