What We Do at McClean Chiropractic
From diagnosis to long-term correction, we help you get clarity about your pain — and a real plan to fix it. We treat the root cause, not just the symptoms.
We help with three kinds of spine pain
Different problems demand different protocols. Here’s the territory we cover.
Accident & Injury Recovery
Car accidents, whiplash, ligament instability, post-concussion care. We document and treat the biomechanical injuries others miss.
Chronic Pain & Spine Conditions
Herniated discs, sciatica, chronic neck and back pain, pinched nerves. We find the structural driver and build a plan that lasts.
Aches & Functional Issues
Headaches, TMJ, shoulder pain, postural strain — the everyday issues that quietly limit how you move and live.
Our three-stage approach
Most chiropractors skip step 1. We don’t.
DIAGNOSE
Advanced Spinal Diagnostics
Full-spine X-rays, motion-based imaging, and AI-assisted analysis to find the real pain generator.
PLAN
Spine Management
Once we understand your condition, we build a plan focused on reducing pain, restoring motion, and protecting your spine long term.
TREAT
Hands-on Care & Rehabilitation
Manual adjustment, traction therapy, high-tech rehab, and targeted exercise to retrain how your spine moves.
Clear Answers for Spine Pain — Not Just What Hurts, But Why
We take the guesswork out of spine care using advanced diagnostics, motion imaging, and a case-specific treatment plan that fits your body.
We Measure What Matters
At McClean Spine, we’re thorough on purpose. Every plan starts with real data — never assumption.
Measure What Matters
We use full-spine and motion X-rays to understand spinal movement — not just static structure. Static imaging can’t show how your spine actually moves.
Correlate Imaging with Symptoms
We match MRI findings, motion analysis, and physical exam results to identify the actual pain generator — not just what the report flags.
Build a Two-Phase Plan
Phase A calms irritation. Phase B restores motion, structure, and stability for long-term relief — not just temporary symptom suppression.
MRI Review, Done Right
If you already have an MRI, we don’t just read the report. We read the imaging itself — frame by frame — and correlate it with what we see on motion X-ray.
- →Correlate what we see on MRI
- →Compare it with your motion X-rays
- →Tie it back to your exam findings
This lets us identify the actual pain generator — not just what the report says might be abnormal.
Your Treatment Plan: Based on Data, Built for Results
Once we have a clear diagnosis, we build a spine care plan that focuses on:
✓ Reduce pain & inflammation
Calm the irritation first, then move into corrective work.
✓ Correct mechanics
Fix the structural drivers that caused the problem.
✓ Build lasting improvement
Not symptom suppression — real structural + functional change.
For patients with disc herniations or chronic compression, we also offer spinal decompression therapy as part of a thorough plan.
Fellowship-Trained. Three Generations of Spine Care.
All three of our doctors hold the FSBT (Fellow of Spinal Biomechanics & Trauma) credential — a designation most chiropractors never pursue. We’ve also completed fellowship-level training in MRI interpretation, motion X-ray fluoroscopy, and AI-assisted imaging analysis.
McClean Chiropractic has served families in Provo and Utah County since 1965. We’re the spine specialists your primary care doctor would send their own family to.

Common questions about our approach
Three things. First, all our doctors are fellowship-trained Spine Management Physicians. A two-year postdoctoral fellowship through the University at Buffalo School of Medicine and Cleveland University. Second, we image and measure with motion X-ray and AI analysis rather than guessing. Third, we coordinate care with other specialists instead of treating your spine in isolation.
No. Utah is a direct-access state for chiropractic. You can book without a referral, and we handle any insurance paperwork on our end.
We work with most major health insurance plans and bill auto PIP directly. Call 801-373-1035 with your info and we’ll verify benefits before your visit.
Thorough history, postural and functional exam, and. If indicated. Motion X-ray imaging. We don’t adjust anyone on the first visit unless the exam and imaging give us a clear picture. Typical first visit: 60-75 minutes.
Varies by condition. Simple acute cases: 4-8 visits. Corrective biomechanical cases: 3-6 months with decreasing frequency. We’ll give you a specific plan after the exam and imaging.
For patients who benefit from it, yes. Typically once a month after the initial corrective phase. We don’t sell lifetime plans, and we don’t pressure anyone who’s reached their goals to keep coming.
Yes, regularly. Our Spine Management Physician training is specifically designed for this. We send reports to PCPs, orthopedists, neurosurgeons, interventional pain physicians, and PTs whenever coordination helps.
Yes. Prolozone injections combine homeopathic agents with medical-grade ozone and work especially well for knee and shoulder joint pain. More on prolozone therapy.
Yes. All three doctors see pediatric patients with age-appropriate techniques. More on pediatric care.
