Growing Bodies
Children and Adolescents
Children grow fast. Falls, sports, heavy backpacks, and hours in front of screens all take a toll on developing spines. Many parents in Grand Rapids bring their kids in for regular wellness checkups to catch small alignment issues before they become bigger problems. Our doctors use gentle, age-appropriate techniques scaled to each child's size.
Families across Cascade, Forest Hills, and Kentwood bring children as young as a few weeks old. From colic relief for infants to scoliosis screening for teenagers, our team has the experience to support your child's growth. Learn more about our pediatric chiropractic care.
Stay Active
Adults and Working Professionals
Desk jobs, long commutes, and weekend warrior activities are the top reasons adults in Grand Rapids seek chiropractic care. Low back pain, neck stiffness, tension headaches, and sciatica are extremely common for people who spend hours sitting or doing repetitive physical work. Regular chiropractic adjustments keep your spine aligned, reduce pain, and help you stay productive.
Whether you work at a desk along 28th Street SE, drive routes through Ada and Wyoming, or stay on your feet all day, our doctors build a care plan that fits your schedule and your body's demands. Many adult patients come in every two to four weeks for maintenance care and report fewer sick days, better sleep, and more energy.
Stay Independent
Seniors and Mobility
Maintaining mobility and balance is one of the most important things you can do as you age. Joint stiffness, arthritis, decreased range of motion, and balance concerns are all common reasons seniors in Grand Rapids visit our office. Chiropractic care helps keep joints moving, reduces pain without medication, and supports the kind of active lifestyle that keeps people independent longer.
Our doctors use low-force techniques like the Thompson Drop Table and instrument-assisted adjustments that are comfortable for older adults. We accept Medicare and most supplemental insurance plans. Many seniors from Kentwood, Wyoming, and the greater Grand Rapids area have been patients at our practice for years and consider their regular visits an essential part of staying active and healthy.
Compete and Recover
Sports Families
Grand Rapids is a sports town. From youth soccer and swim to high school football and adult recreational leagues, active families deal with strains, sprains, and overuse injuries year-round. Chiropractic care helps athletes of all ages recover faster, move better, and reduce the risk of re-injury. When the whole family plays, the whole family benefits from regular care.
Our doctors work with student athletes, weekend warriors, and competitive adults. We combine spinal adjustments with rehabilitation and wellness programs tailored to each family member's activity level and goals.
Our Philosophy
Multi-Generational Care
Dr. Matthew Phinney founded The Chiropractic Doctors with a simple belief: health is a family affair. When parents take care of their spines, their children learn to do the same. When grandparents stay active and mobile, the whole family benefits. That philosophy has guided our practice for over 35 years.
Today, Dr. Phinney is joined by Dr. Drew Bailey and Dr. Alec Papes. Together, our team cares for families in Grand Rapids, Cascade, Ada, Forest Hills, Kentwood, and Wyoming. We see grandparents who first came as young adults, their children, and now their grandchildren. That kind of trust takes decades to earn, and we do not take it for granted.

Families Ask
Family Wellness FAQ
Can my whole family be seen on the same day?
Yes. We schedule family block appointments so everyone can be seen during one visit. Parents, children, and grandparents can all be evaluated and adjusted back-to-back. Call (616) 432-3103 to set up a family block at our Grand Rapids office on 28th Street SE.
What ages do you treat?
We treat patients of every age, from newborns to seniors in their 90s. Each patient receives age-appropriate care. Infants get gentle fingertip adjustments, while adults and seniors can choose from a range of techniques including manual adjustments, Thompson Drop Table, and instrument-assisted methods.
Is chiropractic care covered by family insurance plans?
Most family insurance plans in Michigan include chiropractic benefits for all covered dependents. We accept Blue Cross Blue Shield, Priority Health, Aetna, United Healthcare, Cigna, and Medicare. Call (616) 432-3103 with your insurance card and we will verify the benefits for every family member before your first visit.
How often should my family come in for wellness visits?
For maintenance and prevention, many families visit once or twice per month. Children and teens may need more frequent care during growth spurts or sports seasons. Our doctors will recommend a schedule tailored to each family member after their initial evaluation.
