About Advantage Chiropractic
Chiropractic Care Built on Trust, Not Pressure
At Advantage Chiropractic , we believe healing happens when patients feel heard, respected, and genuinely cared for. Dr. Tim O’Brien founded our practice on a simple principle: provide thorough, honest chiropractic care without the pressure tactics that have given our profession a bad reputation. After 14+ years serving the Morehead community, we’ve built our reputation one satisfied patient at a time.
Our Story: From Personal Pain to Professional Purpose
Dr. O’Brien’s journey to chiropractic began with his own struggle with chronic back pain from a spinal birth defect discovered at age 35. This personal experience gives him genuine empathy for every patient who walks through our doors. He understands what it’s like to live with pain, to feel dismissed by healthcare providers, and to worry about treatment costs and effectiveness.
A Different Kind of Chiropractic Practice
Unlike many practices that push the standard “24 visits over three months” protocol, we follow evidence-based national guidelines of 6-12 visits depending on your condition’s severity. We reject high-pressure sales tactics and focus on what actually helps you heal.
Our warm, welcoming atmosphere means you’ll never be scolded for missed appointments or pressured into unnecessary treatments.
Comprehensive Care Beyond Your Spine
While many chiropractors focus only on quick spinal adjustments, Dr. O’Brien provides thorough care for your entire musculoskeletal system. From detailed neck work that addresses individual vertebrae to extremity adjustments for shoulders, knees, and ankles, we treat the whole person. Our integrated approach combines precise chiropractic adjustments with massage therapy and specialized equipment to give you lasting relief.
