MAC Alternative Therapies, Inc., has been providing quality alternative health care services since 1982. Our gentle holistic approach and natural solutions for many common and uncommon health issues have improved the lives of thousands of people. Our services are uniquely tailored to the goals and needs of each patient.
MAC Therapy focuses on the root causes of a person's health conditions, rather than just treating a specific symptom. That means exploring the physical and mental aspects of a person's life to uncover any factors that might be contributing to the person's present health symptoms & conditions. Every session is a combination of examination and treatment. The therapist uses his or her hands to evaluate the texture, tightness and movement of muscles, fascia, tendons, ligaments and nerves. Abnormal tissues are treated by combining precisely directed tension with very specific patient movement. After an injury, scar tissue binds up and ties down tissues that need to move freely. As scar tissue builds up, muscles become shorter and weaker, tension on tendons causes tendonitis, and nerves can become trapped. This can cause reduced range of motion, loss of strength, and pain. If a nerve is trapped you may also feel tingling, numbness, and weakness.
MAC Therapy works using specialized programs, as well as multi-practitioners to help restore your health using your body's natural healing processes. Some of these programs include, Neuromuscular Therapy, Active Release Technique, Active Isolated Stretching and conditioning, ETPS (Neuroanatomical Pain Therapy, Designed Clinical Nutrition, Cranio Sacral Therapy, Nutrition Response Testing, Designed Nutritional Supplementation, Creed Neural Kinetic Integration Technique using the Vibra-cussor, as well as Massage, Acupuncture, and Chiropractic Treatments.
Our mission is to help you and optimize your health using state-of-the art technology, nutritional and exercise programs. We strive to give each patient the care and attention they deserve. You will never be rushed out the door or pressured to have procedures that you don't need. We take our time to help educate you, so you will have a better understanding of your health, treatments and programs suggested. We also specialize in healing injuries caused by automobile accidents, sports injuries and repetitive stress injuries...and much more!

Everyone in my community knows that they are the absolute best in the field. It is obvious that their office is harmonious and calming. It was fantastic. They are so thoughtful and amazingly sweet, I just love this place. I was in awe at the level of service I received. They completely surpassed all my expectations and I will absolutely be going back. They are completely committed to helping me as long as it takes to find the best solution. I am impressed by the understanding of the knowledge of body mechanics and lymphatic flow. If a solution isn't reached immediately, which has been a problem for me at other places, I am convinced they will help me find.
