Back pain doesn't have todefine your life.

26 years of corrective chiropractic care for Shelby Township families. Root cause treatment — not temporary fixes.

Understanding Back Pain

It’s not just painIt’s a signal from your body.

Back pain is your body’s way of telling you something is wrong. Medication masks the signal. Surgery is often unnecessary. At Touch of Life, Drs. Ed & Sandie treat the root cause — spinal misalignment and nervous system interference — so your body can heal the way it was designed to.

Whether your back pain is acute or chronic, we’ve seen it and treated it for 26 years. From weekend warriors to desk workers, pregnant mothers to grandparents — your spine tells a story, and we know how to read it.

Our Approach

Corrective careTreating the cause, not just the symptom.

At Touch of Life, we don’t chase symptoms. We find the structural cause of your back pain through comprehensive evaluation — including consultation, examination, and X-rays — then create a corrective care plan that addresses the root issue.

Our approach is built on the MaxLiving 5 Essentials framework, which means we look at your whole health picture: spinal alignment, nutrition, mindset, movement, and toxin exposure. Back pain is rarely just about your back.

Questions About Back Pain

What our patients ask.

Many patients feel relief after their first visit. However, corrective care is about long-term structural change, not just temporary relief. Your care plan will be tailored to your specific condition and goals.

X-rays help us see the structural cause of your pain and create the most effective treatment plan. We take them on-site during your first visit as part of your comprehensive evaluation.

Chiropractic is one of the safest and most effective treatments for back pain. Research consistently shows it outperforms medication and physical therapy for many types of back pain. Dr. Ed and Dr. Sandie have 26 years of experience treating backs safely.
