Robin McKenzie's Method® of Mechanical Diagnosis and Therapy® is an active patient treatment philosophy that emphasizes prevention and intervention, and encourages patients to be in control of their own treatment.

It is a logical, cost-effective process that evaluates the patient's problem quickly. The assessment process is always effective because a McKenzie practitioner will identify both responders and non-responders.

Since most spinal pain is believed to be mechanical in nature, most responders will show patterns of response to pain and function, and then be classified accordingly. This classification is unique to the McKenzie Method® and provides a benefit to the patient and practitioner by eliminating the need for invasive procedures, because patients will be treated based on their individual spinal syndrome.

Dr. Angello Asks some important questions of interest to Grand Junction residents - Chiropractor Grand Junction Dr. Angello Asks...

What can a chiropractor do for asthma?
Many people think of chiropractic as exclusively dealing with the spine. But I'm interested in the spine because it covers the nervous system. Problems in the spine can produce problems in the organs and tissues controlled by the affected nerves—including those to the lungs and bronchial tubes. Find out how chiropractic care has helped those with asthma.
How could a child benefit from chiropractic?
Regardless of our age, each of us in Grand Junction encounters physical, chemical and emotional stresses that exceed our ability to handle. For newborns, it could be the trauma encountered at birth. For toddlers it could be from learning to walk or ride a bike. Many of the problems we chiropractors see in adults are the result of neglected traumas from childhood.
