What we offer

How we help

A focused set of services for what we see most — sciatica, back and neck pain, headaches, stiffness, vertigo, and shoulder pain — matched to what you actually need.

Chiropractic Care

Gentle, precise adjustment of the spine and joints. On most visits Dr. Brown works the surrounding muscles by hand first, then adjusts — the two together are the core of care here.

Corrective Exercises

A short set of home exercises matched to your problem areas, so progress holds between visits.

Lifestyle Advice

Personalized guidance on the daily activities to modify or avoid, so you can keep living fully without aggravating your condition.

Nutrition Guidance

Practical, down-to-earth nutrition advice to support your recovery and everyday health — guidance you can actually use, not a rigid program.

Meet your chiropractor

Dr. Jacob Brown, DC

Dr. Brown has been in practice since 2006, and in Cadillac since 2015. He's known for a gentle touch, but the real constant is that he listens first and builds the plan with you and for you.

Most of his care pairs hands-on muscle work with chiropractic adjustment. He's also straightforward about fit: if he thinks he can help, he'll say so — and if he doesn't, he'll tell you that and point you toward someone who can. It's a small office by design, so you see the same doctor every visit.

What to expect

Care here is collaborative, and no two plans look the same — here's how it generally flows.

  1. 1

    Your First Visit

    A thorough evaluation. Dr. Brown listens to your history, examines what's going on, and talks through your goals.

  2. 2

    A Plan That Fits

    Together we decide whether you need a short, focused course of care or something more extensive — shaped around your feedback and goals.

  3. 3

    Care Built Around You

    We structure your treatment around our collective input, typically pairing hands-on muscle work with adjustment, and adapt as your body responds.

  4. 4

    As-Needed or Ongoing

    Once you're feeling better, it's your call: some patients come in only as needed, while others choose to continue with regular wellness care.

Dr. Brown has successfully helped me with lower back and neck pain issues. He also was able to help my wife with a nagging shoulder issue that is now gone. He listens well and uses a cautious, gentle approach.

I started seeing him after a severe head injury… Dr. Brown was very meticulous in his thought and care of approach. He is great at hearing where I'm at & how I've been feeling as we begin each session; he is very kind & gentle in how he helps to bring alignment to my body. Most of all, he is reflective and consistent in his practice, kindness and genuineness.

Dr. Brown got me in very quickly and is very knowledgeable… I've never seen a chiropractor before so this is all new to me, so far I'm very happy. He is also very gentle and easy to talk to. Highly recommend!!

Can't say enough good about this practice and Dr. Brown! My lower back pain has been ongoing for years… I literally walked out feeling like a whole new person, without any pain and so much more range of motion.

Common questions

Do you accept walk-ins?

Sometimes. Existing patients can often be seen as walk-ins, and while new patients are best scheduled, we can frequently get you in the same week. To be sure of a time, call or text (231) 468-3777 or request an appointment online.

What happens on my first visit?

Your first appointment is an initial comprehensive evaluation. Dr. Brown listens to your history, assesses your needs, and explains your options before building a treatment plan tailored to you.

Can I complete my paperwork before I arrive?

Absolutely. You can fill out your new-patient intake forms online ahead of time, so your first visit stays focused on you rather than paperwork.

What conditions does Dr. Brown treat?

Dr. Brown takes a measured, in-scope approach to care — no exaggerated claims, just honest guidance grounded in two decades of experience with musculoskeletal conditions. He regularly helps with sciatica, back and neck pain, tight or sore muscles, headaches, stiffness, vertigo, and shoulder pain. Most of his care pairs hands-on muscle work with chiropractic adjustment. He’s straightforward about what he can and can’t treat: if he believes he can help, he’ll tell you — and if he doesn’t think he’s the right fit, he’ll tell you that too, taking as much pride in the cases he refers out as the ones he takes on. And if there are areas you’d prefer he avoid, he will.

What are your office hours?

Monday through Wednesday, 9:00–12:00 and 2:00–6:00; Thursday, 9:00–12:00 and 2:00–5:00. The office is closed Friday through Sunday.
