Did you know the weight of a dime is 2.268 grams? That’s all it takes to decrease normal nerve transmission by 70%! These nerve transmissions are communicating vital instructions like “how your immune system responds to pre-cancerous lesions” or “how many times your heart needs to beat.”    You want those messages traveling at the highest possible speeds with NO interference from a subluxation.   So how do you remove these interferences? Regular chiropractic care. Watch Dr. Gary Shoemker explain how the weight of a dime can interfere with normal nerve transmission. Become A Patient Don't let your good health stop on a dime; call Clairpointe Family Chiropractic at (313) 886-8030 to see how we can remove any spinal interference (subluxations), keeping your nervous system working at its fullest!

  Sports Injuries Here at Clairpointe Family Chiropractic, we have many active patients who exercise regularly and play sports like tennis, pickleball, golf, hockey, and running.  Once in a while, a patient will have an injury from their activity and will need an extra hand in recovery. When a sports injury occurs, after the patient ices and rests, we suggest coming in to have the doctors look at the injury from a chiropractic standpoint. The doctors can show you proper conditioning, warm-up, and cool-down techniques for each sport or exercise activity to prevent future injuries. We treat these injuries by showing you proper stretching, strengthening exercises and recommending pharmaceutical-grade supplements. Common Sports Injuries Treated At Clairpointe: • Back strains • Tendonitis • Herniated disks in the lower back • Plantar fasciitis • Hamstring strains • Foot Numbness and Tingling • IT band syndrome Dr. Nathan has first-hand experience in recovering from sports injuries.

Knee Pain Not only will knee pain prevent you from doing your normal day-to-day activities, but it can also throw the rest of your body’s alignment off. Our ankles, knees, and hips are kinetic chains where one can affect the others.       Adjusting Knees Did you know that the knees can get subluxated just like your spine?  The doctors can adjust your knee to correct any misalignments. A simple misstep or stumble can be enough to subluxate your lower extremities or pelvis, which will affect the rest of your spine. With any acute pain, start with icing, and at your next adjustment, bring it to the doctor's attention. The doctors may also suggest taking Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondro-Flx, and/or CollaGEN supplements to help the soft tissues heal.  Foot Levelers A poor foundation can lead to knee pain, so the next time you have knee pain, look at your shoes. Your shoes may look good on the outside, but the soles can wear out sooner than the tread.  As part of your first new patient appoi

       Stretching before a sport will help promote proper circulation, improve coordination and flexibility, reduce muscle tension, and prevent muscle strain. Without proper stretching, tissues may shorten over time and become fatigued, creating an opportunity for injury.        Dr. Nathan Blackwell has been playing baseball since he was five years old and has been weightlifting since he was 16 years old. Over the years, Dr. Nathan has noticed the positive effects of a 15-minute stretching routine pre and post-practice or exercise, which has been great for limiting soreness and maximizing performance throughout the years.   At Clairpointe Family Chiropractic, we have a great book we refer to titled "Stretching," written by Bob Anderson. Each page has specific stretches for all types of sports. Below are some of the top sports our patients play, and these are the stretches we recommend using from the book.
