Chiropractor in Eastown, Grand Rapids
Dr. Nora Brink and Dr. Jonah Pell see new patients six days a week at our office on Lake Drive. Most first visits take about an hour. Each part of it, and how long it takes, is laid out below.
Hours
First 10 minutes
Park in the lot behind the building and bring a photo ID and your insurance card. If you filled out the intake forms we texted you, check-in takes a minute. If not, we have them on paper at the desk.
Next 15 minutes
Your chiropractor asks what is bothering you, when it started, what makes it better or worse, and what you want to get back to doing. Bring your own questions too.
Next 20 minutes
We check posture, how you move, reflexes and strength, then look closely at the sore spot. X-rays only if the exam gives us a reason, and you hear the price first.
Last 10 to 15 minutes
We explain what we found, without the jargon, and whether chiropractic care fits it. If it does, we suggest a number of visits and the cost. If it does not, we tell you who to see instead.
Follow-up visits take 15 to 20 minutes. Nothing is prepaid: you pay for each visit when you have it.
What people come in for
Most first visits start with one of these. At that visit we tell you whether chiropractic care is a reasonable fit for what you have. If yours is not on the list, call and ask.
After lifting, after a long drive, or for no reason you can name.
The kind that makes checking your blind spot a chore.
Often alongside tight shoulders or a stiff neck.
The desk-job ache between the shoulder blades.
Sometimes with tingling. We check where it is coming from.
Once a medical doctor or urgent care has ruled out anything serious.
Cost
The same prices for everyone paying cash. No new-patient special, no packages, no membership.

Using insurance? We call your plan before your first visit, check your chiropractic benefits, and tell you what you are likely to owe.
Your chiropractors
Nora adjusts mostly by hand and keeps a low-force option ready for anyone who would rather not have their neck adjusted that way. She explains each step before she does it.
Jonah sees a lot of desk workers and weekend runners. He sends people home with two or three stretches written on a card, not a binder of them.
