Welcome to Resilience Health Center in beautiful Kalamazoo, Michigan! At Resilience, we strive to provide excellent care to our community through natural alternatives. Our clinic serves a wide variety of individuals through natural means. We seek to restore hope and promote innate healing for those seeking chiropractic services, and decompression services. Our Kalamazoo doctors are passionate about helping your body adapt optimally from the inside out, naturally.
Our Chiropractors at Resilience are a husband & wife duo that decided to become Chiropractors in Kalamazoo due to the increasing need for the community to function at their absolute best. They recognized that there were many community members that were struggling with various health concerns, and they felt led to bring hope & healing to Kalamazoo and surrounding areas. Our Chiropractic services include: the Gonstead method of adjusting, the Webster Technique for pregnant mommas, and Decompression services.
This passion to serve the community to the fullest further led to serving individuals struggling with pain, as there were no natural alternatives found in Kalamazoo for individuals seeking to treat their pain without medications and surgery. We wanted to change that.
At Resilience, we call our practice members "Warriors" and "Little Warriors" because they are fighting for their health & going against the norm by being preventative in their health! We are happy that you are here! Our Resilience Team is ready to serve you!
Resilience is more than simply bouncing back from adversity. Resilience is found in the bodies ability to adapt to life stressors. Resilience is demonstrated following every chiropractic adjustment, when new neurological connections are made between the brain and the body, and the body is able to better adapt in its new healthier environment. Resilience is the innate ability for the body to recognize what is best for the body, and heal the body from the inside out. Every person is resilient; every person’s body wants to be healthy; it’s time to unleash their inner potential and watch what the body can do.
We are on a mission at Resilience Health Center to bring hope and healing to the Kalamazoo community by unleashing each individuals’ God-given healing potential from within. Our passion is to inspire, encourage, and educate our community to see the potential they have to live a happier and healthier life. We offer a natural alternative approach to health care in utilizing the Gonstead technique, and work to create long term relationships built on trust.

Chiropractors restore “normal” nerve transmission/function to the body through specific adjustments to the spinal bones. “Abnormal” nerve function (too much/too little) comes from misaligned bones or what chiropractors commonly refer to as “subluxations”.
These “subluxations” can create a state of “dis-ease” in the body…sometimes resulting in certain conditions. Specific adjustments bring the body back to it’s “EASE” state, oftentimes restoring one's state of health.
To determine whether chiropractic will be effective or not, one must consider a few important factors:
No. Adjustments are intended to be specific. The specificity is what makes chiropractic unique! Treating everyone the same way with the same twisting of the neck and lower back from right to left and popping everything in between is not at all specific. Anything less than specific is not chiropractic and may do more harm than good to the patient!
CLINIC* uses the Gonstead method of adjusting and analyzing the spine. We're one of a few offices in CITY* that exclusively uses the Gonstead method. By thoroughly analyzing the spine through the use of x-ray, instrumentation, visualization, static and motion palpation you can expect a properly delivered adjustment.
Yes, chiropractic adjustments are safe…given that they are performed by a skilled and competent chiropractor! Like I tell patients, anyone can make a “popping” or “cracking” noise but very few people can make a proper adjustment. This is an art or skill that takes years to become efficient at. Chiropractic has been around since 1895 with a proven track record of success!
Besides the more common symptoms of neck and back pain, patients may often find relief/support with other symptoms such as:
Just to name a few!
Absolutely! During pregnancy, a women’s body goes through some pretty dramatic changes that can create stress along the spine. If the spine was already stressed before pregnancy, chances are it will intensify during the pregnancy. Great care is taken to be sure that both the mother and her baby are safe when performing an adjustment. We utilize special adjusting tables with different modifications to give the most gentle and accurate adjustment up to the time of delivery.
Unfortunately, most people associate a “popping” or “cracking” noise as being on the same level as an adjustment. Certainly, If you rotate your spine hard enough you will likely create a loud noise! However, this in no way constitutes an adjustment and may prove to be more harmful than good!
Adjustments are specific! For instance, the Gonstead technique utilizes a listing system that helps the doctor determine how the misalignment is occurring and the best way to make the correction.
It’s important to adjust the bone in the proper direction in accordance to how the bone is misaligned. It’s of even greater importance that the adjustment reduces and eventually eliminates nerve pressure and restores vital nerve function.
Sciatica often presents itself as pain down one leg or both. Oftentimes, the pain may travel all the way to the foot. Typically, when there is misaligned bone (subluxation) in the spine, this will induce an inflammatory response in the disc that can potentially irritate the spinal nerves…in this case, the nerves that travel down the leg.
With a proper analysis, the doctor can specifically determine how vertebrae has misaligned and where the nerve pressure is being affected. This information is then used to determine the best approach to restoring proper position and motion of the subluxated vertebrae that may be affecting, in this case, the sciatic nerve.
Chiropractors take x-rays to see the internal condition of the spine. X-rays also reveal if there are any underlying spinal disorders, such as arthritis of the spine, abnormal development, disc disorders, bone spurs, and spinal deterioration.
Having an x-ray taken before any adjustment helps chiropractors make a correct diagnosis. Combining x-rays with other exams will benefit the patient ultimately.
