I have been having a sharp pain in my left leg (right below my knee, right above my calf). I went to the doctor yesterday and she told me that it could be coming from my back. A friend suggested I go see a chiropractor and get my back aligned........well, I have never been to one before, and don't really know what to expect.
My younger son (13 years old) keeps asking me to go to a chiropractor for his back.
Does anyone know of a good chiropractor near the west bloomfield area? One that is good kids as well as adults.
I would like to thank everyone for their responses. I did seek chiropractic help with my situation. After working out at the gym last Wednesday, there was a chiropractor by the doors, doing free back screenings.........I went and did the back screening thing and got a certificate for their chiropractic office. It was for O'Dell chiropractic in Walled Lake. Since I got the free certificate towards a consultation and first set of xrays, I went to that chiropractic office to see what they were like. It was ok, They took a couple xrays and other than that they didn't do too much else.
They called me the next day to tell me that my insurance covers chiropractic services, but not too much. It covers up to $500 per calendar year. That is hardly anything concidering that the first doctor I saw there told me that I would need to go in about 3 times a week. They charge $50 a visit, is that what chiropractors usually charge? It should be lower if you don't have insurance right?
I went in twice already and they haven't done one adjustment yet.........I don't know if I like it over there,though. I have met two of the doctors so far and they were both nice, but I still don't know. I was wondering would it be horrible if I went to another chiropractor somewhere and had them look at the xrays as well, to see what they would tell me?
I have another appt. with them on Monday for a new patient orientation with the head chiropractor there, he is supposed to explain my xrays to me and tell me exactly what they will need to do to correct my problems. I told them about the sharp pain in my left leg too, but they haven't said anything about that.
Thanks again for all the suggestions for a chiropractor in my area........thank you.
My husband is an excellent chiropractor in Farmington Hills (10 mile and Orchard Lake) He has TONS of kids in his office that LOVE going. Give it a try, chiropractic is truly life-saving.

One of the best Chiropractors in the W. Bloomfield Area is Dr. Saab. It was also kid friendly he is on Maple between Orchard Lake and Farmington. Call him. I'm not sure if he is taking new patients when I last went to him his schedule was full. Please do call him maybe he can refer you if he can't take you....
Check our Dr. Judge at www.DynamicLifeChiropractic.com. He's in Birmingham but he's wonderful!
M.,
Dr. Shelby Glazer is the most incredible person. What a wonderful chiropractor. He, the other dr. and staff are all amazing. They made me feel comfortable the minute I arrived, but most importantly, he was able to relieve my pain almost immediately. His care and attention during the initial visit won me over immediately. He works with you on payments, a no obligation consultation, treatment, takes insurances, and helps with your overall health, not crack crack see ya.
My arms were falling asleep from my shoulders to my fingertips. To the point, where it would awaken me at night and my fingers were so numb, they felt like they were burning. I also have sciatic nerve issues and the pain from that starts at the back of my hip and reaches around to the front, down my thigh and down to the outside of my knee. That's almost gone too and I've only been going for a few weeks.
They treat everyone from the elderly to babies and its in a very family, close atmosphere. Their own families are very important to them, which is apparent as soon as you walk into the offices, and they treat you and your family as if you were part of theirs.
I would recommend them without hesitation or second thought. I trust them with my health and with my own children's. I live in Beverly Hills, not too far from West Bloomfield. Their office is on 12 Mile Rd just west of Telegraph in the Franklin Bank Building. Their number is ###-###-####.
I feel I haven't done them justice here and I can't say enough good things about Dr. Glazer. You are welcome to contact me with any questions or concerns you have.
Feel Better,
L.
I forgot to mention that my brother in law is a doctor. He told me (years ago when the pain in my back first began) that there was nothing that could be done and it would probably continue the rest of my life. I lived with the back pain but when he told me, casually with no offer of how to fix it, that the arm sleeping thing was probably a pinched nerve I thought omg I can't live like this and sought the help of a chiropractor. It sounds like you are doing the right thing by consulting one too.
Kingswood chiropractic on on woodward and square lake (In the plaza near Staples). He is great with both myself and my 4 year old.
Van Every Family Chiropractic is great! Check out their web site. Very kid friendly. http://www.vaneverychiropractic.com/
Yes, in the WB area, Dr. Eric Mintz would be fabulous. He writes many articles for local papers and is the parent of 2 young children himself. He helped my Father when conventional Dr.s treatments only made his condition worse. My Dad is one happy camper now!
Best of luck.
M., go to Dr. Sam Gray or his partner, Dr. Katie Azoli. I have had back and leg pain since I was 23 (I'm 40 now). I had never been to a chiropractor before either but last year everythign was bothering me, I was even getting pins and needles in my hands and feet. I had several tests done and no one could figure out what was wrong with me. A friend referred me to this office and promised they would cure me and as of last July, I've been a new person. They are on the corner of Elizabeth Lake Rd. and Vorheis Rd. in Waterford near Summit Place Mall, I live in WB and it's about a 15 minute drive but well worth it. ###-###-####. Everybody is super friendly. I started going ever week for maybe a month then down to twice a month now I just go whenever I need an adjustment.
