What People Are Saying About
Pulver Family Chiropractic
"Before coming to Dr. Pulver's office I was terrified of anyone adjusting my neck. It previously gave me migraines at another office. Now I have more energy, I sleep much better, and I have not had a headache in months!"

"I originally came in for shoulder and neck pain. I didn't have full range of motion in my right shoulder and the pain was affecting my workouts, my job performance and even my sleep. I was very reluctant to see a chiropractor because I was extremely uncomfortable with someone doing any type of adjusting near my neck. Dr Pulver was very informative and pleasant and he was able to put me at ease (not an easy task). I became comfortable with my adjustments after the first week. I also began to notice improvement that week. The pain in my neck began to subside, my sleep became uninterrupted, my range of motion began to improve and my once daily headaches stopped entirely. My chiropractic care, combined with a few simple exercises has been remarkable. I have noticed a great improvement in my health, attitude and ability to function more efficiently. I would highly recommend chiropractic care to anyone seeking a happy, healthy and highly functioning lifestyle."

"Hello...My name is Myriam and I am a patient of Dr. Josh Pulver. The word Patient has become at times a noose around my neck, for I have been defined by the word for most of the 57 years of my life. As a child I was sick all the time...from one thing to the next. The usual childhood diseases and then more uncommon things began to happen to me until at the age of 10 I was put in the hospital for 18 months with doctors saying they just didn't know what was happening to my body...finally a diagnosis. Then a reappearance of something new...this has been the story of my life all my life, in and out of Hospitals and sickness...
As an adult, mother with 3 children and now grand children it still continues. However, I have been diagnosed as a Severe Chronic Nutropenic as of 3 years ago. With that diagnosis came so much relief in finally knowing I wasn't Crazy, but it also added challenges of new sources. I am one of 937 people in the United States that have this bone marrow problem. I do not make White blood cells in sufficient amounts to keep me from getting ill every time I come in contact with some one or with something that has bacteria ..I have been dealing with the Oncology and Hemotology units at Northern Michigan Hospital. They have put me in contact with a registry that now helps me with support, my medications, and any new information on having a deficient immune system... I do infusion treatments of a stem cell nature every day...These have helped me to stay infection free most of the time and even though the white blood counts are very low in comparison to most people...I have seen an improvement. Not only in health but in lifestyle. So why am I writing this to you... Along with this therapy comes bone pain that at times can be gut wrenching...To a point where Tylenol or Motrin with added Codiene will not begin to take the edge off...A friend suggested that I try seeing Dr. Josh...for the pain mostly....Little did I know that he would help me so much. My pain levels are nearly gone now...and gradually I have seen my blood counts rise considerably for no apparent reason...until my oncologist asked if I had increased my medications. I told them no...But I had started seeing a Chiropractor...They at first were skeptical...but as the months have progressed and my levels have risen for no other apparent reasons...they now understand that his work that he does for me is very important. Dr. Josh has helped me to have a better life. With less medication, Less stress, and less pain...Now I believe that we are working on the Immune System and the progress is over whelming to me and to my medical doctors. I hope that this letter will help you in some small way. The changes for me are less medication, Less pain,, but most of all a stronger Immune System. I now am living life to the fullest. Had you told me that Chiropratic could help...3 years ago...I'd have laughed...But Now...all I do is smile and live a better quality of life..I hope this gives some glimmer of hope for the future.” Most Sincerely Yours, Myriam G. "As a massage therapist, I was aware of some of the benefits of chiropractic care. I would even occasionally suggest that a particular client find a chiropractor they were comfortable with. That had not happened for me until I met Dr Pulver. Had our offices not been in the same building 4 years ago, perhaps I still wouldn't know first hand the wonders regular chiropractic care can deliver. He never pushed me - just listened to my previous experiences and explained how it could be different. I had never realized how many different approaches and techniques that well-trained chiropractors could put to use. So, I decided to give it a try. After all, I had one or two things I thought he might be able to help me with. I was wrong. There were far more than two things that improved with regular care. Low back pain, hip displacement, headaches, sinus problems, allergy symptoms, asthma issues, digestive problems, PMS symptoms, arm pain... Now, I'm not saying I'm all "fixed." I still have to do my part. Massage, water intake, good nutrition, exercise, keeping my stress level manageable and so on. When I slack on any of that, I know it's harder for me to maintain alignment. If I'm not aligned, my health can get wobbly, and I don't want to go back to that. So - I truly believe in chiropractic care! When I recommend Dr Pulver, it is because I truly believe in his healing skills. I've experienced them for myself!"

“After several years of lower back and hip pain, I finally saw a doctor in December of 2007. I was sent to a specialist and told that I had a prematurely degenerated right hip and that a hip replacement was my only option. I was sent home with Celebrex and told that I should wait as long as I could stand the pain, as 48 was very young to have a hip replacement, and that I would probably need to have another one in 15-20 years. Needless to say, I was shocked and felt very hopeless, since I also didn't have major medical insurance. In the meantime, my daughter had told her chiropractor, Dr Pulver, about my situation and he urged her to have me come in and see if there was something that he could do for me. For many months I did nothing, as I was not convinced that there was anything that he could do for an already degenerated hip. One of the worst times was when I had gone to see my parents and after getting out of the car I was unable to walk, and my dad had to come and get me with a wheel chair! It became harder and harder to do just everyday work, errands, etc because of the pain and the toll it was taking on me mentally. Finally at the end of September of this year (2008) I went in (during one of his free first visit offers since there is no risk to free!) to consult with him and see if there was anything that he could do to alleviate some of the pain. After 1 month I felt so much better. I have a lot less pain. I walk better and am able to do everyday things much easier than before. I can go into a store and get a few groceries by myself. It has been three months now and I steadily see improvement with time. I am very grateful that I was urged to give Dr Pulver a chance.”

“Hey I would love to tell everybody about my personal experience with the Chiropractic practice and Josh Pulver. When I was pregnant I was having a lot of back trouble. A friend of mine referred me to Dr. Pulver. I was highly skeptical. I don’t like anyone to give me a back massage let alone anyone to adjust my back and neck. I decided to at least meet with Mr. Pulver and discuss my concerns and find out some facts. He reassured me that he would not adjust my back until I was comfortable with the idea. After expressing my concerns and getting facts I was comfortable enough to get adjusted. After the very first adjustment I felt AWESOME. Relaxed. I was totally convinced to continue going to his office to be adjusted. Every winter I would get incredibly sick for about a month (min). This was the first winter that I went with chiropractic adjustments – I never even had to go for medicine because I never got sick!!! I even take my 9.5 year old son and my 6 mo baby girl. – My daughter has been adjusted since she was born. I would recommend Josh to everyone. He has gone above and beyond his practice and helped me to get my sons’ dyslexia corrected.”

“After past experiences with previous chiropractors, I was convinced that chiropractics was nothing but hocus pocus. I am so glad that I gave Dr. Pulver the benefit of the doubt and the opportunity to prove my assumptions false. Not only am I making progress and feeling great, but I even feel more mobile in areas where I didn't realize I even had issues with! Thanks Dr. Pulver.”

“I am writing to say I have had a very positive experience with Dr. Pulver. I went in to see him over a year ago complaining of severe neck pain. He layed out a plan to make the pain go away, and it did. I was always very skeptical of chiropractors in the past, but I swear by them now and Dr. Pulver is the best. I have recommended him to several of my friends, but to date, I'm not sure if they've followed my advice. I know that my sister went to him once while she was visiting up here. I am now on a plan where I go every 2 weeks, and I will continue to do that forever. Thank you, Dr. Pulver, for your help.”

“I was skeptical of chiropractic. My husband Tony was having problems with his shoulder and had great success. I was pregnant with my daughter and had terrible sciatica. Went in and became the only pregnant lady that didn’t waddle! My 7 y.o. son began having bad headaches and the pediatrician wanted to do an MRI. I decided to give chiropractic 2 weeks to see what would happen. In less time than that, his headaches were gone! Now, all 3 of my kids go weekly. Between football, dance, snowboarding, etc, they are always in need of an adjustment. My youngest is the only 4 y.o. I know that’s never had an ear infection!

“I met Dr Pulver 2 yrs ago when I was having trouble walking, I could hardly walk on it. Even more, I was dragging my foot around. Dr Pulver took and x-ray & showed me how bad my neck was out of alignment. I wasn’t sure he could help me, but I did know that I didn’t want pain pills or surgery, because that would have been my option with an MD. So I thought I would try chiropractic. Just after working with Dr Josh, I had less pain after 2 weeks, and pain free 1 month into the plan of care. I was walking normal on my foot. Today I am very grateful for Dr Josh and I have had no problem with my foot since.”
