At Portland Chiropractic Neurology we offer something very unique to our patients: a functional approach to improving the health of your brain and nervous system, without the use of drugs or surgery. As the only Board Certified Chiropractic Neurologist in the state of Maine, Dr. Aaron MacArthur is dedicated to bringing a new model of healthcare to the state. As a Maine native he understands the need for a new approach to many areas where drugs and surgery have failed. Dr. MacArthur is not only a specialist in the spine, but also in treating the brain and its supporting structures, which are the basis for many problems we face today. Dr. MacArthur received his undergraduate degree in Biology from University of Maine, Orono. His Doctoral education was spent in Dallas, Texas for an additional four years at Parker College of Chiropractic. He received his Post-Doctoral education at the Carrick institute for neurological studies, which is an extensive three year program in which individuals must pass a rigorous board examination before their degree is obtained. Dr. MacArthur is one of the youngest individuals to obtain this degree and is constantly continuing his education so that his office will provide the most up to date procedures and technology for the best possible treatment of his patients. There are only 1,000 Chiropractic Neurologists in the world, and only one in Maine. If you or a family member is suffering from a neurological condition, please ask us if we can help.

What makes us unhealthy? Your body is made up of trillions of cells that are all linked together through a communicating pathway called your nervous system. This is analogous to a highway like 295, but instead of cars traveling on it there are messages sent from your brain to direct your bodily functions. They are susceptible to traffic jams just as we are. When there is a blockage in the signal pathway between your brain and body messages are not received as they were supposed to and problems will arise. Think of it like a safety pin, if the head of the pin was your brain and the base your body, what would happen if you unhinge it? A doctor specializing in chiropractic neurology can re-hinge that pin and restore balance and health to your body. We don't apply a band-aid approach to healthcare because we aren't interested in covering up a symptom, but in helping our patients acquire complete health. This is why if you talk to our patients you will be amazed at the results they have obtained in such a short period of time. When we treat the body as a whole we maximize its innate healing potential, which allows it to PREVENT sickness and disease, lower stress levels and improve overall well-being. Our goal is for you to achieve a state of Wellness, which is defined as a dynamic state of health in which an individual progresses toward a higher level of functioning. This is obtained through Neurological rehabilitation, Chiropractic care, Nutrition and Cold laser therapy. For some this may be improving balance and coordination to become a better athlete, others may be looking to balance their brain activity so they won't suffer from constant stress and anxiety, but whatever you're looking for the answer lies within your body and mind. We are here to help you achieve that state of function.
I became a Chiropractic Neurologist because I understood the innate recuperative ability of the body to heal. The best way to accomplish this is by ensuring that the master systems of the body, the brain and nervous system, are healthy and uninterrupted. If we keep these systems healthy then we will not be fighting disease and sickness, but preventing it. This is where you need a Chiropractic Neurologist. We remove obstacles in your body that are preventing it from working properly. Dr. MacArthur's personal goal is to educate his patients on the importance of regular spinal care so that you will be free of health problems and never have to set foot inside a hospital.
