Our Services
Our Services in Holland, MI — McAlpine Chiropractic
What services does McAlpine Chiropractic offer in Holland, MI?
McAlpine Chiropractic offers six core services in one location: chiropractic adjustments, non-surgical spinal decompression, Class IV laser therapy, licensed massage therapy, a structured auto-injury treatment program covered by Michigan no-fault, and infrared sauna therapy. Most patients benefit from a combination of these — sequenced and dosed for their specific case — rather than any single modality used alone.
Our six services are designed to work together. The combined-modality approach — chiropractic care plus decompression plus laser plus soft-tissue and rehabilitative support — produces faster, more durable results than any single treatment used in isolation. We evaluate each case, determine which combination is most likely to resolve the underlying cause, and deliver that combination during the same visit when appropriate.
How our services work together
The conditions we treat — back pain, neck pain, sciatica, herniated disc, whiplash, headache, sports injury, and more — share a common pattern: most respond significantly better to combined therapy than to a single modality applied alone. A patient with a herniated disc, for example, typically benefits more from decompression plus chiropractic adjustments plus Class IV laser therapy than from any one of those approaches by itself.
That’s the operating principle here. We are a multi-provider clinic — three chiropractors plus licensed massage therapists — and we run all of our modalities under one roof. When a case calls for coordination beyond our walls (advanced imaging, a family physician, physical therapy, pain management), we stay the lead provider and bring the right team to the case.

Frequently asked questions
Do I need a referral from my family doctor to be seen?
No. Michigan does not require physician referral for chiropractic care, decompression, laser therapy, massage, or sauna services. You can call us directly. We coordinate with your family physician when relevant to your case.
How do I know which services I need?
That is what the initial evaluation is for. We screen against established clinical red-flag guidelines (ACP 2017, NICE NG59, IFOMPT 2020, Canadian C-Spine Rule), examine the involved region, and explain which combination of our services fits your case. You will leave the first visit with a clear plan, an expected timeline, and a visit schedule.
Are services covered by insurance?
Most health insurance plans cover chiropractic care to varying degrees. Decompression and laser therapy coverage varies more widely. Auto-injury cases are typically covered under Michigan no-fault. We verify your specific benefits at the first visit so you know what is covered before treatment starts.
Can I book multiple services in one visit?
Yes — and most patients do. We sequence chiropractic, decompression, and laser within the same visit when appropriate. This is typically more effective and more cost-effective than booking each service separately.
How long is a typical treatment plan?
Uncomplicated acute cases often resolve in 4 to 8 weeks. Chronic cases or cases with disc involvement typically run 8 to 12 weeks. Severe or post-injury cases run 8 to 16 weeks with coordinated care. We re-evaluate every two to three weeks and adjust the plan based on progress.
