  • Why is Our Approach Different?

    At Kentwood Family Chiropractic, we provide chiropractic care that is safe, gentle, and effective. We specialize in Activator Methods chiropractic care, which uses a handheld instrument to provide extremely gentle and specific adjustments to improve spinal alignment and nervous system function. While many chiropractors employ this instrument, Dr. McAllister is the only Advanced Certified Activator Methods chiropractor in the Grand Rapids, Michigan area. He uses a different approach with this instrument, and has years of experience using it, which allows for superior results. This makes our office a great choice for your chiropractic needs, especially when combined with our friendly and welcoming atmosphere, and our true concern to ensure that your health and wellness improves with our care. We also have a zero-pressure, zero-commitment policy - meaning we will educate you on why chiropractic care is important, but you are in the driver’s seat when it comes to the decisions regarding your care plan.

  • Why do I need chiropractic care if I’m not in pain?

    The short answer here is to help your body stay at its full potential for health. Preventative or maintenance care is like taking vitamins or exercising – it is a healthy habit that aims to keep you feeling better overall, and it can help prevent new problems from arising. Maintenance and wellness care address spinal issues before they become bigger problems, such as spinal degeneration, arthritis, and postural problems that can lead to health issues down the road. Think of it like getting your teeth cleaned at the dentist, or “spinal hygiene.” You may not have cavities, but it is important to keep your teeth cavity free – just like it is important to keep your spine in optimal alignment to avoid long term issues.

Can your condition be helped with Chiropractic?

At Kentwood Family Chiropractic, we believe patient education is at the foundation of positive outcomes. We take the time to explain everything in easy-to-understand terms, so that you know what you should be doing and why you should be doing it to get both short and long term relief. We take the time to explain your problem clearly in a detailed Report of Findings, and we will work with you to form a logical action plan based on our initial evaluation of your spine. We want to ensure that you feel comfortable and informed as we move forward.

We take x-rays in our facility to get a complete understanding of your spinal health. X-rays not only enable us to tailor our adjustments to your exact needs, but also help both you and the doctor understand exactly what is causing your problem. Dr. McAllister will analyze and take measurements on your x-rays and then clearly explain the findings – there is no guessing when it comes to your health.

Chiropractic has been a go-to option for many musculoskeletal issues such as low back pain, neck pain, headaches, and sciatica. While these spinal-related problems are often the chief reasons people come to chiropractors, many are also surprised to find out that we can address extremity issues as well, such as the jaw, feet, wrists, hands, and knees.

If you have aches and pains, or are just looking to improve your overall wellness, discover what chiropractic can do for you to find relief and improve your quality of life. Schedule a free, no-obligation consultation today at Kentwood Family Chiropractic – we’ll sit down with you and discuss your health concerns and how we can help.

Services We Offer

Using a handheld instrument that fires a quick, painless pulse into the spine, Dr. McAllister can trigger highly specific and precise alignment and neurological changes that correct pinched and irritated nerves. Activator Methods adjustments are not only gentle, safe, and effective, but also avoid the popping, cracking, and aggressive thrusts on joints that occur with traditional hands-on chiropractic adjustments.

Prior to opening his practice, Dr. McAllister had years of experience at several other practices where he was exclusively a hands-on, manual adjusting chiropractor. Some individuals and conditions respond better to manual adjusting than the Activator, so Dr. McAllister will employ the technique he feels is best for your comfort and response to care.

Dr. McAllister will provide you with exercises and stretches tailored to your condition, which will help you stretch and strengthen the necessary areas to expedite your progress and support your recovery.

A picture is worth 1,000 words, and spinal x-rays help to pinpoint exactly what is causing your issue and reveal any red flags that may alter the adjusting technique used. Dr. McAllister will review the x-rays with you, and educate you in detail about exactly what is going on.

These discs are a therapy used to help improve spinal mobility, strength, and balance, and warm up your muscles so you are ready for an effective adjustment.

These wall mounted units are meant to help restore the normal cervical curvature, which the vast majority of us lose due to modern lifestyle factors like poor posture, excessive sitting, and phone use (text neck!).

We carry a complete line of quality Ortho-Molecular supplements. Dr. McAllister can make recommendations for which nutritional supplements can help you achieve your health goals.

We carry spinal orthotics for postural correction, as well as spinal stabilization belts for those in significant pain. We also offer Foot Levelers custom orthotic shoe inserts, which can have amazing impacts on your posture and spinal stability, aiding in holding your adjustments long term.
