How We Help
Four pillars of care under one Cascade-area roof.
Every service below is real, provided in-house by our three doctors or through a trusted referral partner, and mapped to the way Google itself categorizes our practice.
Wellness Center Grand Rapids
Wellness Center care at The Chiropractic Doctors is whole-family chiropractic built around individual goals instead of a single fixed protocol. Three licensed chiropractors, including Palmer College graduate Dr. Matthew Phinney, treat patients of every age inside a newly renovated Cascade-area facility on 28th Street SE. First adjustments for children stay gentle and low-force, while pregnant patients receive pregnancy-safe adjustments designed for a shifting center of gravity. We also coordinate massage therapy referrals to trusted local partners matched to each patient's needs, and corporate wellness seminars extend the same approach to Grand Rapids employers. In our experience, most new patients start with the $47 complimentary consultation before deciding on ongoing care, whether the goal is routine maintenance or relief from a specific condition.

View all wellness services →Pain Management Grand Rapids
Pain management at The Chiropractic Doctors means non-surgical relief for pain that has not responded to medication alone. The approach is anchored by spinal decompression therapy and a dedicated neuropathy protocol that most chiropractic offices in Grand Rapids do not offer. Patients with chronic back pain, sciatica, migraines, and fibromyalgia typically notice measurable improvement within a few weeks of starting care. Every plan begins with a $47 complimentary consultation and in-house digital x-rays, so the doctor can identify the actual source of pain before recommending treatment. In our experience, combining decompression with targeted adjustments and Class IV laser therapy produces faster results than any single technique used alone, which is why this program remains one of the most requested services at the Cascade-area office.

Rehabilitation at The Chiropractic Doctors is documented recovery care after car accidents, work injuries, and the joint conditions that keep West Michigan patients from living their lives. The program includes in-house digital x-rays, findings documented for personal injury claims, and individualized treatment plans built around restoring full function. Our team treats disc injuries, whiplash, shoulder pain, and arthritis using a combination of chiropractic adjustments, Class IV laser therapy, and therapeutic exercise. Every rehabilitation patient starts with a $47 consultation and a same-visit digital x-ray review, giving the doctor objective evidence of what is actually causing the pain before any treatment begins. In our experience, patients who start care within the first few weeks after a car accident or work injury recover faster and need fewer total visits than patients who wait months to be seen.

View all rehabilitation services →Sports Medicine Grand Rapids
Sports medicine at The Chiropractic Doctors is care built by doctors who compete themselves. Dr. Matthew Phinney, a former Canadian National Rugby team player, brings firsthand athletic experience to every sports injury rehabilitation case treated at the Cascade-area office. The team pairs manual chiropractic techniques with Class IV laser therapy to accelerate tissue recovery and get Grand Rapids athletes back on the field faster than rest alone typically allows. Weekend warriors, high school athletes, and competitive adults across West Michigan use this program for sprains, strains, and overuse injuries that keep coming back. In our experience, athletes who combine chiropractic adjustments with laser therapy in the first two weeks after an injury return to full training sooner than those who rely on ice and rest alone. A $47 consultation is the starting point for every new sports medicine patient.

Questions Answered
What Grand Rapids is asking us.
How much does a chiropractor cost in Grand Rapids?
Your first visit at The Chiropractic Doctors starts with our $47 new patient consultation, so you can meet a doctor and get straight answers before committing to anything. The cost of ongoing care depends on what your exam and digital x-rays find. Many health plans include chiropractic benefits, and CareCredit financing is available. Call (616) 432-3103 and our office managers will walk you through it.
Does insurance cover chiropractic care in Michigan?
Many Michigan health plans include chiropractic benefits, but coverage varies by plan, deductible, and diagnosis, so we never guess on your behalf. Call our office at (616) 432-3103 with your insurance card handy and we will verify your specific coverage before your first visit.
Is chiropractic care safe for kids?
Yes. Pediatric chiropractic is one of our core services at The Chiropractic Doctors. Adjustments for infants, toddlers, and children use very light, age-appropriate pressure, nothing like an adult adjustment. Families across Grand Rapids, Cascade, and Forest Hills bring their kids to our office for gentle, family-safe care.
Should I see a chiropractor after a car accident in Grand Rapids?
Yes, and sooner is better. Whiplash and other car accident injuries often surface days or even weeks after the collision. Our car accident injury care includes a full exam, in-house digital x-rays, and documented findings that support a personal injury claim if you need one.
What is the Thompson Drop Table technique?
It is a specialized adjusting table with a segmented, spring-loaded section that drops slightly during the adjustment, using gentle momentum instead of manual force. No twisting, and no cracking sound required. It is one of our signature methods at The Chiropractic Doctors in Grand Rapids.
