About Lighthouse Chiropractic & Wellness Center in Traverse City

We've been delivering unique and quality chiropractic care to the Grand Traverse Area and surrounding communities since 1996.

Our approach is simple. We believe that health is among our most valuable possessions. Our perspective is that health is not a brief flickering candle just getting by but rather a roaring flaming torch expressing our greatest potential! While we generally meet people after they’ve lost their health, our commitment is two-fold:

Relief or wellness care... it's your choice.

1. Corrective Care/Relief Care

Sometimes people seek care in our office to get relief or correction. During this initial stage of intensive care, we have several obligations:

  • Uncover the underlying cause of the health concern
  • Suggest a care plan to produce the fastest results possible
  • Offer ways patients can participate in their recovery
  • Explain value of post-symptomatic wellness care

2. Wellness Care

We encourage our patients to achieve the highest levels of health they can. Through educational opportunities (like this website), we hope to communicate the value and benefit of ongoing chiropractic care. Our desire is to see our patience abandon the prevailing sickness care model of health (waiting for symptoms and then taking action), in favor of the emerging wellness model.

Regardless of your health goals, please understand that we see ourselves as mere servants. It’s your body, your health and your future. Our job is to offer you the finest chiropractic care possible, and it’s up to you to decide how much of it you want.

Dr. Kurt  Asks some important questions of interest to Traverse City residents - Chiropractor Traverse City Dr. Kurt Asks...

What causes vertebral subluxations?
Chiropractors acknowledge three types of stress: physical, chemical and emotional. When the adaptive capacity of your body is compromised, weakened areas along the spine can become involved. Muscles tighten, spinal joints lock up and nearby nerves are affected. The purpose of chiropractic care is to find these areas and restore balance, alignment and motion.
What's the difference between maintenance, prevention and wellness?
Maintenance chiropractic care is an attempt to keep a dynamic, ever-changing and adapting organism (you) in a static relationship with your environment. Preventive chiropractic care is mostly about early detection. Wellness chiropractic care is an attempt to optimize our health and be all that you were designed to be.
