McKinley Family Chiropractic is full of multisport athletes!

It’s no secret that today’s youth sports landscape leans heavily on early specialization. However, when young athletes focus on just one single specific sport year-round, it can tend to lead to repeated overuse injuries. Cross-training, or sports sampling, on the other hand, can help take the pressure off overworked muscles and joints. Encouraging participation in different sports throughout the year can help your young athlete stay off the injured list. As a bonus, cross-training brings a winning combo of strength and flexibility training to the table, a crucial foundation for any sports performance.

Sport sampling and cross-training is not only for children! Dr. McKinley is an excellent example of how cross-training can benefit the body. Dr. M dabbles in multiple disciplines, such as weight lifting, cycling, running, and rowing. He’s not only learning new activities, but when he shifts from a sport such as running to cycling, he can continue to train at a high level without as much fatigue. He will be putting this training to the test this summer and fall as he competes in both an off-road triathlon and the Chicago Marathon.

The other doctors in the office also have a high level of expertise in multidisciplinary sports. Dr. Ray plays rugby, soccer, and golf. Dr. Cain ran track, swam, and played soccer. So if you ever have a question about your child or even yourself when it comes to trying different forms of physical activity, please feel free to ask one of the doctors the next time you’re in the office.

I have been going to McKinley Family Chiropractic for almost a year now (or is it longer?). I have NO regrets at all. I have never felt better! The staff and the doctors are absolutely compassionate, caring and very friendly. I feel like I am visiting family each week! They are so knowledgeable and fully explain everything that they are doing. They always are so patient with me when I ask questions and NEVER feel rushed out of there. Give them a try and see for yourself.

I’ve been suffering from strong upper back and neck pain, stretching down the nerves in my arms, since working from home with the onset of the pandemic. Before coming to McKinley Family Chiropractic, I spent thousands of dollars on massages and PT, but the pain was persistent. I was also seeing a chiropractor out in the suburbs, but the commute made it difficult to schedule appointments with frequency, so I only scheduled appointments when the pain got too severe. I wish I started coming to McKinley family chiropractic sooner! Within the first two weeks of the regiment , I felt vast improvement. I no longer have nerve pain, the muscles in my neck were a lot less tense, and my posture improved immensely. They’ve also helped me work through ongoing knee pain that has improved my running form! Moreover, the staff is very kind. I’m always greeted by my first name when I walk in the door and I feel comfortable asking the team any question about pain in the body. Note that the process requires several initial visits (I scheduled appointments 2-3x/week for the 12 visits), but then the visit frequency scales back once I had noticeable improvement. The office does accommodate this by having flexible hours (open until 7pm certain evenings, Saturday morning appointments are always available) and having an efficient schedule ( I rarely stay in the office longer than 10 minutes). I really appreciate Dr. McKinley’s holistic approach to health and wellness and would recommend anyone experiencing pain to visit McKinley Family Chiropractic.

I’ve had such a great time at McKinley Family Chiropractic! The staff is so welcoming and makes you feel right at home even when you’re having problems with your back. I’ve been here with them for about a month and I have nothing but good things to say about the staff and business. With my job I have a different schedule every day and the staff is very accommodating to it, as they have flexible hours so it’s super easy for me to come from work. I recommend coming here if you are having trouble with your back as Dr. Ray and Dr. McKinley have taken very good care of me! I’ve improved in just over a month and have been feeling back to myself thanks to them and the staff
