On the Day of
Your Visit
Your Consultation
Your visit starts with a detailed consultation. We discuss your health concerns, whether that is lower back pain, neck stiffness, or joint discomfort, and review your medical history.
Your Examination
We assess your posture, spine, and range of motion. Our chiropractors may use X-rays or other diagnostic tools to pinpoint problem areas, and X-rays are not taken for every patient.
Your Treatment Plan
Every patient is unique. We create a personalized plan that may include follow-up visits, corrective exercises, and complementary therapies such as massage or stretching.
Your
Adjustment
What to Expect During an Adjustment
Chiropractic adjustments use gentle, controlled movements to restore alignment and proper nerve function. Here is what you should know before yours.
- Using precise, gentle force we realign your spine or joints to relieve nerve pressure, reduce inflammation, and improve mobility
- The pop you might hear is simply gas collapsing in the joint, and it is perfectly normal
- Many patients experience immediate relief after their first adjustment
- Side effects are rare and mild - slight soreness that fades quickly. Techniques are adapted for children and for patients who are pregnant
Frequently asked questions
Everything you need to know about chiropractic care at our Holt office.
What conditions do chiropractors treat?
We address a wide range of issues, including back pain, neck pain, sciatica, headaches and migraines, and sports injuries. Neck pain is often tied to poor posture or whiplash injuries, and sciatica is radiating leg pain from nerve compression. Whatever brings you in, our chiropractors are here to help.
How safe are chiropractic adjustments?
Chiropractic care is safe when performed by licensed professionals. Side effects are rare and mild, usually slight soreness that fades quickly. With years of training we make sure every adjustment is precise and effective.

Most insurance plans do not require a referral. Some plan types do. Call (517) 699-2646 before your visit and we will check your specific plan for you.

Yes. Dr. Moriah Severance's practice focuses on children's health and family care, and adjustments for infants and young children use very gentle techniques. Parents bring their children to us for concerns such as latch issues, torticollis, colic, and reflux.
