They have been amazing! I started going here in my last couple months of pregnancy and they have made it so much more bearable as I approach labor. Everyone in the office is also super nice, every chiropractor I've seen and all the girls in the front. Would 100% recommend! read more

Return customer with the need for something very quick to be addressed. Turned away, and told essentially that others have priority over me because they have been seen more frequently... Sad. read more

I go there often with my wife and also take my 5 month old since birth. Their massage is good but Magen the chiropractor is absolutely amazing. She does a great job with us but my kid loves her energetic attitude and after the adjustment she sleeps like daddy, long naps and poop easily!!!! No one do it better then Magen, highly recommend her... read more

Optimal Wellness Chiropractic - 5month - Chiropractors Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

While some may question a Groupon deal leading me to choose Optimal Wellness for my first ever chiropractic experience, it worked for me, and now I can highly recommend that you go there, too. I have been there about four times and I can't say enough good things about the place. It has a very laid back atmosphere with a smallish but nice waiting room. The receptionist is very nice and helpful and will chat with you if you like (but doesn't force conversation). As a bonus, she will keep an eye on your kid in the play room (directly across from her) while you get your adjustment. (There is also a table in the play room so you can get adjusted in there if you want.) Dr. Walters is really very nice and makes you feel right at home--it felt like I was talking to an old friend! Much better than the clinical setting I was expecting... The best part is that she has made me feel SO much better...in just four visits! Apparently I have severe neck trauma (no idea how or why, but that's what the scan told her) which I could agree with because I had trouble moving my neck. After the first adjustment I could move my next much better! And my back! She cracked it! Oh, it felt heavenly! (Sidenote: I am one of those people who has cracked her back and neck for YEARS, but suddenly after the birth of my son a year ago I lost that ability. Yeah, I know I shouldn't have been doing it to start, but I could, so I did. So when I lost the ability, I was in pain.) Appointments are easy to get, and they can often get you in early if you show up early. Alternatively, I was running late one day due to a prior appointment and they had no problem getting me in when I arrived 15 minutes late. Lastly, her prices seem to be very affordable. Now, as I've said, this is my first ever chiropractic experience, but I was expecting like $50 or $75 a session or something...so I was thrilled when I saw her normal prices are $35. Now, other places might be the same, but even so, I'm happy here so I'm staying here. She also offers special deals at times (like at last week's appointment I got a card for a $25 visit). **NOTE: The office is closed from 1-3pm daily. read more

Optimal Wellness Chiropractic - Chiropractors Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

This chiropractic office is phenomenal. The few times I went in for an adjustment, I was informed on why I was experiencing pain, and what would be done to correct it. I was given a test that uses heat to see where my spine was misaligned. After the test was done, I was given a printout that showed exactly which vertebrae needed to be corrected. They do not try to push you to keep coming back or pay a lot in advance for long term care, like other chiropractors in the area do. They educate you and let you make your own decisions on how to proceed with care. I can't recommend them enough and will plan to keep going back even after moving out of the area. read more

I came here throughout the last trimester of my pregnancy. Most of the doctors here are Webster certified, so I felt comfortable getting adjustments from them. I totally credit my weekly appointments with Dr. Stephanie as the main reason I didn't have many of the dreaded third-trimester symptoms - I never developed the 'waddle' and had little back-pain. I started seeing a chiropractor because I had experienced pain in my sciatic nerve during my second trimester, and I wanted to stay active throughout my pregnancy. I came for an initial consultation and was impressed with the diagnostic tools they used; it didn't seem as wonky as I thought chiropractic care would be. I'm happy to be a client here, and will continue to get adjustments as I move into my post-partum life. read more

This practice, specifically Dr. Kendra (owner) and Dr. Natalie, are gifted in their field. Both provide not only outstanding adjustments and pain relief, but they take time to teach stretches and movements for at home care between visits. My massage therapist Jane digs out knots I did not know were there until she kneads them out and I feel looser! Everyone here, from the massage therapists, front desk, billing, and doctors are caring professionals and awesome individuals. I trust this practice with my 2 sons and daughter-in-law. Our youngest in California says he never gets as good an adjustment and massage in California as he does here, so when he comes home for Christmas a massage and adjustment here are his gifts from us! After years of pain and pain meds, my husband finally agreed to try chiropractic care and his pain is now being safely managed. He loves it here too. Highly recommend this practice! Best advice is try book standing appointments in advance, excellence can have a bit of a wait! read more

Very professional place with a very kind and knowledgeable staff. I'm always seen within minutes of walking in and the rooms and waiting area are very clean. I typically see Dr. Megan on a bi-weekly basis and also had the pleasure of meeting Dr. Kendra recently - both are amazing! I initially came in because I have back pain as a result of bad posture. Bonus - I've also stopped getting migraines which I never knew could be corrected by chiropractic care! I notice a HUGE difference now that I've started seeing Dr. Megan on a bi-weekly basis. The initial appointment was great, in addition to sitting down with Dr. Megan for an extended period of time, she did a scan of the nerves/muscles in my spine and it was really interesting to see the results. Usually chiropractors do X-ray (if anything) which really doesn't tell you much about your discomforts unless you have bone issues (i.e. ignores muscles and nerves). Was cool to see something that validated my discomforts, and seemed very cutting edge. After the initial appointment I continue to come in for adjustments which are pretty quick. Dr. Megan is so kind and always voices over what she's doing when she's adjusting me and will tell me / walk me through when she's going to do an adjustment that may feel weird. I get nervous about doing my neck but she's so nice, gentle, and understanding about it! Another bonus about this place is their self-pay price is very reasonable (if your insurance doesn't cover chiropractor / no insurance). I'm transitioning to a new job and didn't have insurance so I had to pay out of pocket. Compared to other chiropractors I've been to in my life, the rate was very fair and not out of my budget, especially since chiropractor treatment is recurring. I'm so happy I found this group! Client for life. read more

I've been going to Optimal Wellness for over three years now (through two babies, two car accidents, and many days of sitting at a desk). I've seen each of their chiropractors at some point or another, and all of them have been great. They genuinely care about their patients and are all upbeat and positive. They aren't the type of chiropractor that is going to tell you need to be there 3-5 times a week (I did 3 visits a week at the end of my pregnancy trying to flip my breech baby, but that is the only time they recommended more regular treatment). In fact, I've frequently been told see us when you need us next time. I believe most, if not all, of their chiropractors are Webster certified. And, their massage team is top notch. read more

I have been coming here for a month so far and had prenatal massages as well. First off, the ambiance is so awesome and comfortable. The ladies at the desk are lovely. I had two prenatal massage with Faye and she is absolutely amazing and knows what she is doing. I have seen Megan and Natalie for chiropractic adjustments and I so needed this. They are very knowledgeable and genuine. They are just fantastic. They are not pushy at all. I am going in once a week and have been feeling great. I am so blessed to have found this place I see Megan regularly and she is awesome. read more

I really liked this place until the doctor exposed my 4 month old daughter and entire family to Covid. The doctor knew she had symptoms and still chose to come to work, I was told that "to cure headaches we use chiropractic techniques first before testing for Covid". I would have appreciated at least the option to not come in based on the fact that she was showing symptoms. But instead she chose not to notify us until the day after when she received a positive test. read more

Pregnant and postpartum mothers, take a minute to check out Optimal Wellness Chiropractic. The fabled lower back pain and joint discomfort can be addressed before it steals your sleep or makes walking seriously uncomfortable. Dr. Jen and Dr. Michaella both specialise in treating pregnant women with non-invasive, non-harmful methods that focus on what's best for baby and for you. Setting up an appointment was straightforward thanks to extended hours. The office is located in a brick complex on the corner of Crooks and Thirteen Mile, directly across from the gas station. Parking is sufficient during peak hours, and some kind driver usually lets me slip back onto Thirteen Mile during rush hour. The office itself is decorated in pleasant neutral tones with a separate children's play area and at least one child or baby being carried around. A family-friendly focus is evident from the first visit, but fear not, it's all very clean and cozy. I started coming here in my third trimester for an alignment. I have not regretted the decision at any point. Dr. Jen started out by explaining the techniques she uses, engaging me with a thorough understanding of the changes brought on by hormones, increased baby weight and growth. Then she got me stretched out on a padded table with a special drop-away panel for the bump. Count me excited just to be able to stretch out without fear of squashing the little one! Once she got started, the aches and discomforts immediately started to subside. Her light touch did more to relieve the tension knotted in my mid and lower back than three massage sessions, and I never felt uneasy or uncomfortable while she performed the adjustments. On the contrary, I left in a happy, almost slumbering daze. The stiffness or soreness she warned of never set in, and I was practically flopping myself on her table on my next appointment. I'll take advantage of one of the massage therapy sessions as new patients get a $10 off discount, and my health insurance allows me to use massage and chiropractic services here with a single copay. I'll continue to see her post-baby to correct the curse of office chairs and bad posture. read more

I was introduced to Optimal Wellness from a Groupon for a one hour hot stone massage. I was incredibly disappointed! If you like to be pampered, space or a great hot stone massage, this is not the place for you. To say it is small is a gross understatement! I suggest you use the restroom before going as the facilities are absolutely claustrophobic. The massage room I was in was equally small & the massage was mediocre at best. Additionally it only lasted 38 minutes! When I asked why it wasn't an hour as advertised, the receptionist explained that it was an hour slot...so the time I sat in the tiny waiting room, the bathroom vist, taking off my clothes AND putting them back on all counted towards my hour! What a rip off!! Will definitely take my business elsewhere. read more

I cannot say enough great things about Optimal Wellness Chiropractic, Kari, or Dr. Michaella Walter. Dr. Walter is a healer, and really believes in what she does. She is compassionate and kind, and will carefully assess your problem to come up with a treatment plan to improve your overall health. I never feel rushed there, or pressured to buy anything; it's like visiting a friend who gives you a great adjustment. I have been seeing her off and on for the past year, and I couldn't be happier with the treatment I receive there. Their pricing is extremely reasonable; the first Tuesday of every month, the drs do $12 adjustments! As a bonus, the clinic sometimes offers discounted massages. read more

I started going to Dr. Walter in Birmingham and loved her! She has since moved to Royal Oak and I love her even more! She has honestly done wonders for my back and shoulder....I'm not going to say miracle worker, but for those that have had back problems and can find somebody who can help without prescribing pills, it IS pretty much a miracle. I'm going to try out a massage there in the next couple of weeks. I know not everyone "believes" in chiroprators (but they do exist, really!) - but I would recommend this place to anyone who is looking to stand up a little straighter. read more

The best! They don't do try to rope you in with crazy packages and commitments like I've had at other chiropractors. Great for kids. They have a Fishtank to look at in the lobby and toys in every room to keep my two preschoolers busy while I get adjusted. All the staff have always been great! read more

A Groupon for a $30 hot-stone massage introduced me to Optimal Wellness, but shortly after purchasing I hurt my lower back and called in desperation to make an appointment with Dr. Walter. The receptionist kindly fit me right in and after a careful assessment of my problem Dr. Walter did an adjustment and gave me advice on stretches and other ways to handle my problem. I've been feeling better ever since. I have seen Dr. Walter three times for maintenance adjustments since then, and am always happy with the results. Dr. Walter has a caring and personable demeanor and is happy to explain what she's doing so you can understand your body better. I also never feel like she is suggesting that I come in more often than I'd like, a complaint that I've heard about other chiropractors. Dr. Walter suggested that I might benefit more from a deep tissue massage than the hot stone massage I had purchased, and that I could pay an additional $10 and upgrade my Groupon. Since then I have had two massages, both of which were hands down the best massages I have ever had--they not only felt good, they felt like they were part of my treatment plan to improve the way my neck and back and shoulders are working together. Optimal Wellness has a number of great deals which keep me coming back--when I first visited I was given coupons for discounted adjustments and massages which have made all of my sessions more affordable. I just bought two gift certificates for hour-long massages for $35, which is an unbeatable deal. In addition, Dr. Walter believes so strongly in making health care affordable for all that she offers deeply discounted sessions on the first Tuesday of every month. It's this kind of generosity that sets Dr. Walter and Optimal Wellness apart. The atmosphere is one of a warm and friendly neighborhood doctor's office, not a deluxe spa, but the treatment rooms are pleasant and I have found both massage rooms neat, clean and relaxing. All in all, I can't recommend this place highly enough. read more

We love Dr Megan! She is great with our whole family including our newborn. I would definitely recommend her and this practice to anyone who needs chiropractic care. read more

A great family chiropractic office. They will provide adjustments for all ages, and they are very good at it. I have been coming here for almost a year. In that time, I have has back adjustments, ankle/foot adjustments, and several massages. The adjustments have been precise and have alleviated much of the lower back pain caused from hours of driving. The massages have been wonderful. The typical massage is an hour, administered by a trained massage therapist, and less expensive than other places. read more

I've been going here for a few years and I really like them. They make you feel at home. I've liked every single doctor that has worked there. They're pretty flexible on scheduling. I always walk out feeling like 100 bucks. The only downside is that the parking lot is small and difficult to navigate. read more

Optimal Wellness Chiropractic - Patient room - Chiropractors Near Me - Royal Oak, Michigan

I made a chiropractic appointment here for my 7 week old daughter who has colic. The first visit was great, but my second visit ... well, we never even saw the doctor. We arrived on time for our morning appointment and sat there for 30 minutes waiting. I then asked the receptionist if she knew how much longer she would be, she said she was coming right out. Then when she did, she took another patient back who was already waiting - essentially meaning I would be expected to wait another 30 minutes! Definitely not going to sit there an hour with my newborn! I can understand running late in the afternoon or evening, but not early morning. Beyond that, they receptionist was working during the weekend and you would have thought they could make a courtesy call to let you know they were running behind. After I walked out, the receptionist had the nerve to call me and ask if I wanted to reschedule??? If you don't mind waiting forever, this may be the place for you. But my time is more valuable and I believe it's time that doctors start to realize this. read more

I've been going here since after my second pregnancy. They are gentle but effective during adjustments, which in my opinion, many practices lack. The office is inviting and the clerical staff is extremely attentive and friendly. Scheduling an appointment is easy, especially with the late hours. Massages are top notch here. It's honestly the first place I've been in this price bracket that actually listens to your massage needs and wants. I left with my sciatica feeling the best it has since before pregnancy. Overall, this practice is everything I'm looking for in Chiropractic care. read more

Nothing bad to say. Cute small office. Everyone is knowledgeable. One of the most affordable chiros I've been able to find. Super helpful and always great!! I have been pushing for this place to others!! read more

So happy I found Optimal! I came because my midwife recommended it, they specialize in parental and child chiropractic care. I was having some severe back pain. I had never been to a chiropractor before. They did a assessment of my spine and posture and I received a detailed print out at my next visit! I see Dr. Liz Biehl and I love her!!! I've never felt rushed at all, instead like I'm talking to a friend. This office is completely in line with my philosophies or natural, holistic healthcare. They just created a moms and kids group that I'm definitely joining. read more

Optimal Wellness Family Chiropractic is a top notch chiropractic facility. The doctors, office managers and massage therapists are friendly and experts in their fields. They take most insurances, but even if you need to pay out of pocket, their prices are fair. I decided to see Dr. Michaella Walter for focus in pregnancy and prenatal care and I am very pleased with the care I have received. Dr. Michaella is genuinely interested in her patients and their care. Furthermore, she always take a sufficient amount of time with me and even returned my phone call when I had questions to ask. This is a family friendly office and I would highly recommend Optimal Wellness Family Chiropractic to anyone! read more

I am so pleased with the service and expertise of all at Optimal Wellness. I started seeing Dr. Boechler for a shoulder/neck issue. Both she and Dr. Walter have been extremely helpful, friendly and professional. They take all aspects of my health in to account. I am equally amazed at the staff and the massage therapists. Every visit is a success and brings me even more pain relief and (for the massage) relaxation. I am particular about massages and am very happy with the therapists at Optimal. I continue to return because it so satisfying. The staff has helped me feel comfortable and does whatever they can to accommodate my schedule. I highly recommend Optimal Wellness!! read more

I came here for a back appointment because I've been having a tremendous amount of pain in my lower back. It was easy to setup an appointment and when I got there they did a great job with my lower back. I've been back about 5 times and the doctor has been nothing but helpful during my transition. Great doctors and a wonderful facility. read more

My 23 year scoliosis journey has involved many chiropractic visits, spine specialists, physical therapy sessions, personal strength coaching, and more. I am so glad a friend recommended this practice. Dr. Natalie has been so amazing, when my MD could simply offer some drugs which I did need but Dr. Natalie has been seeing me through the days of recovering. So far as a new patient I am very impressed she took her time with me & my husband to figure out what was happening with an acute situation that popped up. It has been Dr. Natalie to encourage me in this scary & difficult time. A good listener, hands on, gentle, and conservative in her approach to spare me any added trauma it has so far been good medicine not only for my spine but my soul. I needed someone to really listen and work with me. I am blessed to have found them. If you want a snap & crack, get you in and out doc then I'd skip this place. However, if you need some TLC and good caring docs that will be there get here right away. The desk staff has been very good too, courteous, kind and professional. read more

I've visited numerous chiropractors in town, and I've the relief I've found coming to Optimal Wellness is above and beyond and other experience. Every time I leave here, I feel like I just walked out of a massage, even if I just go in for an adjustment. I've suffered for years with TMJ, and I can't believe that the pain isn't there anymore. They truly know their stuff! Dr. Kendra is so sweet and welcoming, and she's great with kids, too. I've seen a few of the doctors here, and you can't go wrong with any of them. As others mentioned they are very kid-friendly and specialize in chiropractic for children and for pregnant women as well. My daughter turns into a wet noodle when she gets her gentle adjustment! The only negative thing I have to say is that their parking lot is a tight squeeze, but it's worth having to Austin Powers your car back and forth when the experience inside the office is this good! Oh, and their office hours are funky, but whatever, thank you, thank you, thank you, Optimal Wellness! read more

I'd never been to a chiropractor before, coming from a family that doesn't believe in them. But after giving birth and moving in quick succession, I developed a debilitating back pain the likes of which I have never experienced. Desperate for a solution, I found Optimal Wellness via the reviews here. I am thrilled with the results and would highly recommend the place! read more

I came here with terrible sciatica, to the point where I could barely walk. They have helped so much! I have no more pain. I've been coming for 2 years now and they've helped me with any issue I've had. Can't thank them enough! All the staff are incredibly nice as well. read more

I've had three knee surgeries in under three years and my knees, hips and back were always aching until I started seeing Dr. Walter. I've been seeing Dr. Walter for over a year and it has made a huge difference - no more pain! I've also been adjusted by Dr. Jen with great results. I would highly recommend either doctor. I truly feel that you are not just a patient, but they care about your overall health and well-being. read more

LOVE LOVE LOVED every experience at Optimal Wellness! They have been helpful and significantly improved my quality of life. I noticed improvement at/after my first visit, but like most people with chiropractic issues, it was after a series of visits that I could appreciate major changes. I introduced a friend and she felt it was so helpful & now also brings her young children (they have a reduced/special kids 'rate). Now they love to "go hear popcorn from their backs." I have never written a review of anyone or anything, and no one asked me to write this one; if you're interested enough in pain management to be reading this, stop and call right now. I only wish I hadn't waited so long! read more
