Stacy Neal, DC
My mission now is twofold: to provide precise, effective whole-patient care using techniques like Activator Methods, and to equip patients with knowledge and tools so they become active participants in their own healing journey.”
What Students Say About Me
That I create a safe space for learning. My feedback is direct but encouraging, and I genuinely want my students to succeed.
What My Patients Say About Me
Warm, friendly care with relentless determination and thoroughness. An active listener who investigates deeply and treats with warmth. Always listening. Always digging. Always caring. Compassionate, thorough, and determined to find the root cause. Caring hands + sharp mind: you’ll feel heard, understood, and helped.
Conditions I Love to Treat
I enjoy working with a wide range of patients—from infants to aging adults—addressing everything from acute injuries to chronic conditions. I’m especially passionate about helping people move better, feel better, and live more actively. Using the Activator Method, along with supportive therapies like radial shockwave therapy (rESWT), red light therapy, nutritional guidance, and personalized exercises and stretches, I focus on restoring function, reducing pain, and promoting long-term wellness. I love seeing the transformation that happens when we treat the root cause and support the body’s natural healing process.
Techniques & Treatments I Use
As an Advanced Proficient Activator Methods practitioner, I provide precise, low-force chiropractic care that is safe and effective for all ages—from infants to seniors. I combine this with a variety of evidence-informed therapies designed to reduce pain, restore function, and support whole-body wellness:
Activator Methods® Chiropractic Technique – A gentle, instrument-assisted adjusting technique used to restore alignment and improve joint function without twisting or cracking. Ideal for patients of all ages, including those with sensitivities or complex conditions.
Radial Extracorporeal Shockwave Therapy (rESWT) – A powerful, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing, reduce chronic inflammation, and break down scar tissue. Particularly effective for chronic joint and soft tissue conditions.
Red Light Therapy (Photobiomodulation) – Utilizes specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light to reduce inflammation, enhance cellular repair, and accelerate tissue healing.
Percussion Massage Therapy – A vibration-based technique that uses a handheld percussive device to reduce muscle tension, improve circulation, and support recovery. Great for athletes, chronic pain, or postural strain.
Myofascial Release – A hands-on therapy aimed at relieving tension and restrictions in the fascia, the connective tissue that surrounds muscles and organs. This helps improve mobility, reduce pain, and restore functional movement patterns.
Cupping Therapy – A suction-based soft tissue technique that improves circulation, promotes detoxification, and relieves muscle tension. It’s beneficial for both acute and chronic musculoskeletal issues.
Graston Technique® (Instrument-Assisted Soft Tissue Mobilization) – A specialized soft tissue therapy that uses stainless steel instruments to detect and treat areas of scar tissue, fascial restrictions, and adhesions. Effective for chronic pain, overuse injuries, and post-surgical rehab.
Nutritional Guidance – Customized dietary and supplementation support to reduce inflammation, optimize healing, and improve overall well-being.
Rehabilitative Exercises & Stretches – Individually prescribed movement programs to strengthen, stabilize, and support long-term function and injury prevention.
