I heard about Clements Chiropractic from the massage therapist, Shannon.  I came into the office because of a migraine headache and a very sore neck.  i thought my first adjustment was awesome because my pain went away within 5 minutes of care.  Since beginning chiropractic care, my improvments have been very noticeable.  Stiffness in my back and neck have decreased and I do not get headaches when I normally would and I feel great.

Why I Love Chiropractic Care!
I have been seeing a pain Doctor for the last 4 years due to a herniated disc in my neck and lower back!!!I have been seeing Dr. Nicole Wilbraham and Dr. Clements for the last 4 years, every week!

I now realize that it is more important to me and my health to put as little as possible into my body with prescription drugs, pain killers and the like. I have gone from three different drugs a day (9 pills) to an average of (2) pills a day. What Dr. Nicole has taught me over the years, is how to overcome pain by doing all she tells me and how to live and accept some pain. All you need to do is see Dr. Nicole and feel like a new person. This isn't I'll come in when I feel bad, but to come in when I also feel good. Keeping your spine aligned is the KEY to GOOD HEALTH. If I had to choose between my pain doctor and Dr. Nicole, it would not take me more than a second to choose.

I Love Chiropractic care, and you will too!! Tom Cavanaugh

When I was a young child, I never went to a chiropractor. I wasn't educated about what a chiropractor did, or how they could help people stay healthy. As I approached my 30's, I started learning more about chiropractic care. I have probably been to about five or six chiropractors over the years. A few years ago, my girlfriend mentioned Dr. Derek Clements to me. She said he was able to help people with Fibromyalgia, a condition I have suffered with for many years. I decided to go see Dr. Clements.

At my initial visit, he gave me x-rays, took my history, and asked me a lot of questions about my health. It was a lengthy appointment, one which he spent a lot of time. I began going there shortly thereafter. From the start, I knew I liked him. He is a very caring chiropractor, and one who is willing to allow me to be a partner in my chiropractic care. That was important to me. He offered me a treatment plan of what he thought would be appropriate. Because I had gone to chiropractors before, and was familiar with treatment plans; I asked him if he would allow me the flexibility of coming in when I wanted to. He allowed me that flexibility; for which I truly appreciated. I also wanted to bring my husband and my two young children in as well. My insurance doesn't cover chiropractic care, so he was more than generous in working out a plan, for my entire family to get chiropractic care in his office. I was so grateful for that. Our family goes for chiropractic weekly, bi weekly or for sure once a month.

Dr. Clements has been seeing our family for a few years now. He's a wonderful, generous, and caring man. He's an excellent chiropractor. He's always willing to listen, no matter how long he needs to sit with us, without ever being distracted. He's extremely helpful, often sharing articles with me about Fibromyalgia or Celiac Disease (a condition doctors discovered I had in January of 2007). He's very professional, yet he is also very personal; something that is extremely important to me. He is awesome to my children! My sons are 13 and 9. My son who is 9 is a special needs child, who is non verbal. That never stops Dr. Clements from speaking with Michael, the same way he would tlk to Adam! Interestingly, Adam knows exactly when he needs to go to the chiropractor, because he listens to what his body says to him. He loves his care here! We all do!

Recently, I started seeing Dr. Wilbraham. She is remarkable! She knows exactly how to treat me, with regard to my Fibromyalgia. She knows which tender points bother me the most, and her adjustments are great for me because she can always do things when I'm not expecting them, and I don't tense up. She is a very caring person and doctor, just as Dr. Clements is. Truly, they make a great team! Both of them are always happy to see people come in, they make everyone feel more than welcome, and they certainly keep their patients as healthy as they possibly can.

For our family, the benefits of chiropractic care are numerous. We use chiropractic care not only for some things we need attention for, but also, mostly for prevention. It keeps our nervous systems healthy, and keeps us from catching colds, among many other things. The only downfall is that they are several miles from our home! To travel several miles to see them, means they must be worth it, and they are!

-Tim, Mary, Adam & Michael

Many of you have already heard my story of why I became a Chiropractor, but for those who haven't, I had several neck and shoulder injuries playing football in high school. I can now recall hundreds of other "forgotten injuries", falls off my bike, motorcycle falls, broken arm, broken foot, jumping off the fence, jumping down the stairs, you name it we did it. During the end of high school I started a landscaping company and continued with it during my undergraduate years. My neck and shoulder problems were gradually getting worse and were at the point that I could no longer do that type of work. I started seeing a Chiropractor and was amazed that within a few months I was doing all the things I used to do without anymore pain. I also noticed that I no longer had my seasonal allergies that I had dealt with for years. No more shots! One day I was getting adjusted and my chiropractor said " you know, with the great results you have seen under care, why don't you look into becoming a chiropractor? The next day I was in my counselors office at Oakland U. changing my major, and requesting applications to Chiropractic colleges. I began chiropractic care at about the age of 17, which most people would think is young. That meant I had already had 17 years of injury and damage to my spine to reverse. I have now dedicated my life as a family chiropractor to educate everyone I meet the importance of chiropractic care beginning at birth( the first spinal injury). My children, Derek Jr. and Cameron, both had their spines checked and adjusted the day they were born. They both get their wellness check-up once a week and will enjoy the benefits of a healthy spine and nervous system for the rest of their lives. I tell this story because I see the health of children in the area declining at a dangerous level. More syndromes, diseases, drugs, hospitals are not increasing our childrens health. The concept of chiropractic and kids is foreign to most and will therefore be met with resistance. Especially when parents have been let down by other doctors in the past. What I can tell you is chiropractic helps kids become healthier. Their nervous system works better and allows better function of all aspects of health. Our children deserve better health now than ever before. Please feel free to call and talk to me personally if you have questions or concerns about your childs health.
