I decided to start my chiropractic practice in Eden Prairie, MN because of our family ties to the community. My wife Stacy grew up in Eden Prairie and we really like the city. I wanted to become the best chiropractor in Eden Prairie and provide the people with a unique approach to chiropractic the wellness lifestyle.
Welcome to Platinum Chiropractic of Eden Prairie, MN. Our Eden Prairie MN chiropractors focus on finding the underlying cause of your health concern rather than just providing temporary fixes. The doctors at Platinum Chiropractic focus on NeuroSpinal Restoration that detects and corrects structural shifts in the spine and the resultant neurological obstruction/interference (subluxations).
The best chiropractic clinic I have ever been too. I drive an hour just to see them. They have helped me with headaches, back pain, hip problems associated with my back. I highly recommend this clinic!
I have seen Dr. Ian McNeil at Platinum Chiropractic for over 15 years. I could not make it without the care I get from Dr. Ian. The office is easy to get to and almost always I can get a same day appointment. I have been to other chiropractors and Dr. Ian is my chiropractor for life.
Dr. Ian is fantastic and made a huge difference on an old knee injury. They have a new magnetic table that was really cool to use. Super friendly and knowledgeable!
Dr. Ian McNeil and his team here at Platinum Chiropractic are awesome. Would strongly recommend to anyone looking for chiropractic care. His analysis and adjustments are highly specific and get right to the problem.
Dr. Ian McNeil and the staff at Platinum are fantastic! I've had chronic back and neck issues for 20 years and I've seen many chiropractors, but saw few results. On the advice of a friend, I went to Dr. Ian McNeil and have had great success. I highly recommend them!
My first time with a chiropractor but Dr. Ian reassured me and had me feeling like a new person in 6 sessions.
Platinum Chiropractic has a unique approach to the practice of chiropractic. We focus on Neuro-Spinal Restoration. By identifying and correcting structural shifts of the spine and nerve obstructions we get to the bottom of a patient's underlying conditions. Nerve obstructions occur in your spine when a vertebra may not be moving correctly or has moved out of position. While you may not notice this initially, it may directly impact your overall health. Interruptions to the vital communications that travel from your brain, through your spine, and to various parts of your body can be detrimental to your overall health.
This has potential to impact all of the day-to-day functions of your body, including those of your tissues, cells, organs, and other systems. This is due to these interrupted signals that aren't as efficient or effective.
However, that's where our industry-leading doctors of chiropractic at Platinum Chiropractic can help. Using the Gonstead Technique, we can accurately pinpoint these structural shifts and nerve obstructions and work to restore the body to better position and function. In turn, this promotes better mental and physical health.
Chiropractors restore “normal” nerve transmission/function to the body through specific adjustments to the spinal bones. “Abnormal” nerve function (too much/too little) comes from misaligned bones or what chiropractors commonly refer to as “subluxations”.
These “subluxations” can create a state of “dis-ease” in the body…sometimes resulting in certain conditions. Specific adjustments bring the body back to it’s “EASE” state, oftentimes restoring one's state of health.
To determine whether chiropractic will be effective or not, one must consider a few important factors:
No. Adjustments are intended to be specific. The specificity is what makes chiropractic unique! Treating everyone the same way with the same twisting of the neck and lower back from right to left and popping everything in between is not at all specific. Anything less than specific is not chiropractic and may do more harm than good to the patient!
Platinum Chiropractic uses the Gonstead method of adjusting and analyzing the spine. We're one of a few offices in Eden Prairie that exclusively uses the Gonstead method. By thoroughly analyzing the spine through the use of x-ray, instrumentation, visualization, static and motion palpation you can expect a properly delivered adjustment.
Yes, chiropractic adjustments are safe…given that they are performed by a skilled and competent chiropractor! Like I tell patients, anyone can make a “popping” or “cracking” noise but very few people can make a proper adjustment. This is an art or skill that takes years to become efficient at. Chiropractic has been around since 1895 with a proven track record of success!
Besides the more common symptoms of neck and back pain, patients may often find relief/support with other symptoms such as:
Just to name a few!
Absolutely! During pregnancy, a women’s body goes through some pretty dramatic changes that can create stress along the spine. If the spine was already stressed before pregnancy, chances are it will intensify during the pregnancy. Great care is taken to be sure that both the mother and her baby are safe when performing an adjustment. We utilize special adjusting tables with different modifications to give the most gentle and accurate adjustment up to the time of delivery.
Unfortunately, most people associate a “popping” or “cracking” noise as being on the same level as an adjustment. Certainly, If you rotate your spine hard enough you will likely create a loud noise! However, this in no way constitutes an adjustment and may prove to be more harmful than good!
Adjustments are specific! For instance, the Gonstead technique utilizes a listing system that helps the doctor determine how the misalignment is occurring and the best way to make the correction.
It’s important to adjust the bone in the proper direction in accordance to how the bone is misaligned. It’s of even greater importance that the adjustment reduces and eventually eliminates nerve pressure and restores vital nerve function.
Sciatica often presents itself as pain down one leg or both. Oftentimes, the pain may travel all the way to the foot. Typically, when there is misaligned bone (subluxation) in the spine, this will induce an inflammatory response in the disc that can potentially irritate the spinal nerves…in this case, the nerves that travel down the leg.
With a proper analysis, the doctor can specifically determine how a vertebrae has misaligned and where the nerve pressure is being affected. This information is then used to determine the best approach to restoring proper position and motion of the subluxated vertebrae that may be affecting, in this case, the sciatic nerve.
