Our services and procedures are not covered by insurance. Insurance companies, Medicare, Medicaid,… cover traditional, insurance-based guidelines of treating pain by offering pain pills, anti-inflammatory pills, steroid/cortisone injections, physical therapy, chiropractic care and eventually surgery.  The traditional insurance-based guidelines are “pain treatments”, which do not address the different fundamental components that cause chronic joint pain.  Michigan Integrative Health was specifically created to address the 3 components of chronic joint pain of the back, knee, hip and shoulder, which are: Joint Instability, Inflammation and Tissue Damage.  Most doctors in practice cannot offer the different services we have available because they choose to participate in the insurance based guidelines.  Most offices have only 1 provider, or many providers with the same license (MD, DO, DC, PT) which also limits their ability to offer certain services.  For further information call (586) 726-9860

Our policy is that when dealing with chronic pain of the back, knee, hip, or shoulder, we only accept those individuals as patients provided they demonstrate either a decrease in pain, increase in range of motion, or an increase in strength during the initial visit. There is none of this "lets try this for 2 or 3 weeks and give it time to work". We have 1 visit to prove if we can help you or not with our drugless, non surgical approach.

Some of our services require only 1 visit. Other services we offer could require up to 8 visits.

The medical team uses a number of different products to heal certain damaged tissues of the body. They do not provide any drugs, bone marrow aspiration, or adipose aspiration.

Once you schedule your Initial Consultation, Examination, X-rays and Assessment, a member of the staff will reach out to confirm your appointment and answer any questions you have. At the time of your visit we will thoroughly discuss your pain history, overall health history, perform an exam, take x-rays and perform an assessment. It is expected that during the assessment you will experience either an increase in motion, strength or a decrease in pain. We only accept those for care who do demonstrate a positive change during this visit, which does not require any injections, drugs or therapeutic devices. This will involve our Joint Stability Assessment. We will write out options regarding which of the different components you tested positive and the different options for care of each.

There is never any "Down Time" with our services. For certain procedures offered by the medical team, we may recommend for a short period after care that restrictions of heavy stress into the joints treated be considered for a few weeks. This is all thoroughly explained during the initial visit, if you are a candidate for those particular services.
