Meet Dr. Michael Childs
Dr. Michael Childs is the owner and director of ARC Chiropractic in Saline. His mission is to help family members of every age lead a pain-free life with optimal function. Dr. Michael specializes in customized care plans, with an emphasis on chiropractic pediatric and prenatal care. He utilizes both research-based manual techniques as well as an instrument-based approach.
Passionate About His Profession
When Dr. Michael was attending Grand Valley State University, he injured himself while attending a CrossFit class. “I ended up with complete numbness into both of my arms. I didn’t know what to do. I ended up going to see a chiropractor. Within a few weeks, my arms were completely back to normal. I was amazed that the chiropractor only used his hands to get me back into alignment!”
A Thirst for Knowledge
Because of his passion to help others, Dr. Michael decided to become a chiropractor. He received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Parker University in Dallas, Texas. He immediately immersed himself in memberships and postgraduate study, including
- Certification in the Webster Technique
- Diagnostic computerized scan technology instruction
- Membership in the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association (ICPA)
On a Personal Note
Dr. Michael comes from a large family, so family life is a top priority. He loves to spend time with his wife especially showing her what it means (often unfortunately) to be a huge Lions fan, and all Detroit sports. Finn is his beloved golden retriever and both are loyal fans of all things Lord of the Rings and Star Wars. Dr. Michael is also passionate about brewing his own craft beers, especially those that include IPAs.
