What we treat

Six reasons people come in

“Not only is Dr. Palmer great at his job but he is like a brother. There is so much improvement in my mobility, especially in my lower back. The office atmosphere is very relaxing and calming. His wife also works there and she is the epitome of sweetness. I strongly recommend Palmer Chiropractic to everyone.”

“Palmer Family Chiropractic is amazing. They really take their time, and are willing to listen and help correct the imbalances in your body. On my first visit, I could tell that Doctor Palmer was invested in my health journey. I feel like not only do I get adjusted, but I also learn so much about how to care for my body as I age.”

“I used Dr. Palmer while living in IL, then moved to WI. He took his talents to Jackson, MI. He has been a part of my overall health. He's skilled, knowledgeable, and compassionate. I trust him completely. It's nice to see a chiropractic office that strives for quality and gives back to the community.”

Dr. James Palmer

Owner · Chiropractor

Dr. Palmer has been adjusting patients for more than ten years. He began at a world-renowned practice in Florida that drew patients from around the world, working in both family chiropractic and intensive corrective scoliosis care, where he helped people avoid surgery they had been told was inevitable. He then spent years in a high-volume Illinois office sharpening the hands-on side of the work before bringing it to Jackson.

Sarah Palmer

Owner · Office Manager

Sarah runs the practice, and she is usually the first person you speak to. She is passionate about helping people understand their options rather than simply being treated, which is why patients tend to leave here knowing more than they came in with. Wife to Dr. James and mother of three.

Questions

Before you call

Do I need a referral?

No. Call and book directly. If your particular plan needs one we will tell you when you call, so ask and we will look.

What happens on the first visit?

A full history and a hands-on examination first. Dr. Palmer then explains what he found and what he would suggest. You are not committed to anything before you have heard it.

Do you adjust children?

Yes. Family is in the name. The force used with a child is a fraction of an adult adjustment, and a parent stays in the room the whole time.

I was in a car accident. Should I come in even though I feel okay?

Yes, and sooner rather than later. Soft-tissue injuries from a collision routinely surface days afterward, and an early assessment matters for your recovery and your records.

Why are your hours split into mornings and afternoons?

So people can come before work or after it without taking a day off. Thursday is afternoons only and Friday is mornings only, so it is worth calling to find the slot that fits.

How soon can I be seen?

Call (517) 750-7790 and we will find you the first opening that works.

Most people wait far too long

A first visit is a history, an examination, and a straight answer about whether we can actually help. That's it.
