A patient-friendly explanation of the credentials behind the care at Mecham Chiropractic.
These certifications matter because they help connect Dr. Mecham's training to the types of conditions patients actually bring into the office. That includes sports injuries, extremity problems, orthotic questions, spine-related pain, rehab planning, and concussion-aware evaluation.
Instead of listing credentials without context, this page explains what each one generally relates to, what kinds of problems it is relevant to, and how it supports the care offered on this website.
This reflects advanced professional standards in chiropractic care and supports broad evaluation of spine-related pain, movement dysfunction, and conservative treatment planning.
Most relevant for: back pain, neck pain, headaches, sciatica, and recurring joint restriction.
This training focuses on joints and tissues outside the spine, such as the shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee, ankle, and foot. It is useful when the problem involves the full movement chain rather than one painful spot.
Most relevant for: foot pain, plantar fasciitis, ankle sprains, shoulder pain, knee pain, and sports injuries.
This background supports a rehab-oriented approach that combines hands-on care with recovery planning, tissue loading, mobility, and a more structured return to function.
Most relevant for: injury recovery, recurrent flare-ups, soft tissue problems, and patients who need more than short-term relief.
The Webster Technique is commonly associated with pregnancy-related chiropractic care and pelvic balance. It reflects training in a gentle approach used in a specific patient population.
Most relevant for: future prenatal or pregnancy-focused care pages.
This sports-focused training supports evaluation of athletic injuries, biomechanical issues, and return-to-sport decision-making when performance and recovery both matter.
Most relevant for: runners, lifters, field-sport athletes, skiers, cyclists, and active adults.
This credential supports evaluation of foot mechanics, arch support needs, gait stress, and how lower-extremity loading may influence the foot, knee, hip, and low back.
Most relevant for: heel pain, plantar fasciitis, gait-related pain, and custom orthotic decisions.
This reflects concussion-related training connected to sports chiropractic practice. It matters when head impacts, return-to-play questions, and neck-related headache complaints overlap.
Most relevant for: sports impacts, post-concussion concerns, headache cases with trauma history, and athletic injury settings.
This training supports concussion recognition, red-flag awareness, and provider-side decision-making around activity modification and referral when needed.
Most relevant for: sports injury care, impact-related evaluations, and cases where concussion symptoms must be considered carefully.
These credentials support the kind of care patients often look for most: sports injury treatment, foot pain and orthotics, headache care, and auto accident evaluations.
The same background also supports broader spine care like back pain, neck pain, sciatica, and spinal decompression when a disc-related or rehab-focused plan makes sense.
