New patients
What to expect
Care here is collaborative, and no two plans look the same — here’s how it generally flows. New patients are usually seen within the week. In Michigan you can book directly with a chiropractor — no referral from your family doctor is needed.
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.

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.
What a first visit costs
A new-patient first visit — exam and treatment — is typically $110–$160, depending on how involved the evaluation needs to be. A typical follow-up visit runs about $35–$45 for an adjustment, or $60–$75 when it includes hands-on muscle work. You’ll always know your cost before treatment begins. See Pricing & Estimates for details.
If you plan to use insurance, some plans have their own coverage rules — check with yours. No referral needed in Michigan.
