Chiropractor in Chesapeake, VA

Welcome To Chesapeake Spine Center

Here at Chesapeake Spine Center, we are proud to help our patients live better, healthier lives.

Through the practice of functional medicine, Dr. MacDowall is passionate about pinpointing and addressing underlying causes of pain and disease, as opposed to the traditional approach of treating symptoms. This is achieved by spending time with each patient to understand their histories as well as potential genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors that can greatly impact patient health. Health problems categorized as “chronic” or “degenerative”, meaning they accumulate over time, slowly take their toll on quality of life. Functional medicine is progressive practice of medicine that better targets patient needs. Dr. MacDowall uses hands on diagnostic, orthopedic and neurological testing with stress X-rays, as well as blood work to determine your functional health.

The best care. I was in an accident last May. The treatment I have received for my back has made such a great difference in my recovery. Dr. MacDowall and his staff are so supportive, not to mention, the nicest, friendliest staff. They all treat me as they would a family member. Having constant pain isn't easy but everyone in the office truly cares about their patients. I recommend giving them a call, make that first appointment, you'll receive the best care.
