Conditions We Treat
We're Having Fantastic Results
From back pain and sciatica to headaches and vertigo — we treat the root cause, not just the symptoms. Here's a comprehensive look at the conditions we address.
At Corrective Chiropractic, we test, not guess. Care starts with a conversation. If you and Dr. Strother decide together that care is a fit, a thorough exam follows, and any testing is chosen together.
15 Conditions
- Back Pain — Our most commonly treated condition. Through NeuroStructural Correction and spinal decompression, we address the structural cause of back pain rather than just managing symptoms.
- Neck Pain — Structural correction focused on restoring proper cervical alignment. We identify the underlying shifts causing neck pain and develop a targeted correction plan.
- Sciatica — Often treated with spinal decompression therapy. We target the compressed nerve root to relieve radiating leg pain, numbness, and tingling.
- Disc Injury — Herniated, bulging, and degenerative discs treated with non-surgical spinal decompression. Our approach creates negative pressure within the disc to promote healing.
- Headaches & Migraines — A structural and neurological approach to chronic headaches and migraines. Many headaches originate from structural shifts in the upper cervical spine.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome — Conservative chiropractic care for carpal tunnel symptoms. We address nerve compression at multiple points along the pathway, not just the wrist.
- Neuropathy — Specialized protocols for peripheral neuropathy. Our approach targets the underlying neurological dysfunction causing numbness, tingling, and pain.
- Scoliosis — NeuroStructural correction approach to scoliosis management. We work to reduce abnormal curvature and improve structural balance through targeted adjustments.
- Whiplash — Comprehensive care for auto accident and trauma-related whiplash injuries. Early intervention with corrective care helps prevent chronic pain development.
- Shoulder Pain — We address both the shoulder joint and the spinal structures that influence shoulder function.
- Arm & Leg Pain — Nerve-related pain in the extremities often originates from structural shifts in the spine. We trace the pain to its source and correct the underlying issue.
- Vertigo — Chiropractic and vestibular approach to vertigo and dizziness. Many patients experience significant relief after cervical adjustments that restore proper nerve function.
- Work Injury — Workers' compensation cases accepted. We provide comprehensive care for workplace injuries, helping you recover and return to work safely.
- Pregnancy Chiropractic — Safe, gentle prenatal chiropractic care to support a healthy pregnancy. We help manage back pain, pelvic alignment, and overall comfort during pregnancy.
- Chiropractic for Kids — Gentle pediatric chiropractic care for children of all ages. Early structural correction may help children as they grow.

Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Care
Can a chiropractor help with disc bulge or spinal stenosis?
Dr. Strother specializes in evaluating difficult spine conditions including disc bulge, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis. He uses NeuroStructural Correction and spinal decompression therapy as part of his approach. Whether chiropractic is right for your specific case depends on the evaluation — if he can help, he'll let you know. If he can't, he'll tell you that too and help point you in the right direction.
What conditions does Corrective Chiropractic treat?
We specialize in evaluating and working with back pain, neck pain, disc bulge, spinal stenosis, sciatica, radicular pain (arm pain and leg pain from nerve compression), chronic pain, joint inflammation, autoimmune-related musculoskeletal issues, headaches, shoulder pain, carpal tunnel, neuropathy, and difficult spine pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. Every case starts with an honest evaluation to determine if we're the right fit.
Do I need a referral to see a chiropractor in New Buffalo, MI?
No referral is needed. You can schedule an appointment directly by calling or texting (269) 469-1310. Chiropractors are primary care providers and can be seen without a physician referral. We serve patients from New Buffalo, Michigan City, Three Oaks, Sawyer, Bridgman, and the surrounding Southwest Michigan and Northwest Indiana area.
Do you offer massage therapy near New Buffalo and Michigan City?
Yes. Corrective Chiropractic offers professional massage therapy including deep tissue massage, therapeutic massage, and chair massage.

Do you accept walk-in chiropractic appointments?
We recommend calling ahead, but same-day appointments are often available. If you're looking for a walk-in chiropractor near you, call (269) 469-1310 to check today's availability. We do our best to accommodate urgent cases.
What should I expect on my first visit for back pain or neck pain?
Expect a conversation about this episode: where it hurts, how it started, and what has already failed. Injections, therapy, medication, time off, a previous adjustment that did not hold. Dr. Strother is listening for whether corrective chiropractic is a fit for your back or neck, and he can review any imaging you already have. You leave with a yes, a no, or a recommendation to continue into an exam. If you continue, that exam can include the clinic's latest high-frequency X-ray imaging and high-tech testing, so the findings come from a test, not a guess. You choose that next step with him. The consult itself is not a promise of care and not a requirement to be imaged.
Can chiropractic care help with sciatica and radicular pain?
Sciatica and radicular pain (pain that radiates into the arms or legs) are among the most common conditions we evaluate and work with. Dr. Strother uses spinal decompression, corrective adjustments, and rehabilitative exercises as part of his approach. Results vary by individual — he'll assess your specific case and give you an honest picture of what's realistic.
Do you accept insurance for chiropractic and massage services?
Your specific situation deserves to be understood. We'll review your financial responsibilities with you after your customized exam and testing, and again with your treatment plan.
Can chiropractic help with chronic pain and autoimmune joint inflammation?
Chronic pain and joint inflammation — including conditions related to autoimmune disorders — are conditions Dr. Strother regularly evaluates. He takes a whole-body approach and will give you an honest assessment of whether chiropractic care is appropriate for your situation. Not every case is a fit, and he'll tell you directly either way.
