For more information, or to schedule an appointment with Dr. John, call 616-642-9455 today! Let me introduce myself. My name is John Thorp and I am a chiropractor serving Saranac and the surrounding Mid Michigan area. I graduated from Lakewood Public School in 1977 and then Alma College in 1980 with a Bachelor of Social Work.
I then spent the next 13 years of my career in the social work profession finshing up at Ionia County Mental Health. Some also remember me as the owner and operator of CATHARSIS, a massage clinic in Ionia. I then sold CATHARSIS and moved to Davenport, Iowa to begin my chiropractic education. I graduated from Palmer College of Chiropractic in October of 1998 after a short residency in the country of Nepal and in Charlotte, Michigan.

Services
Have you been looking for a chiropractor in Saranac? Unlike conventional medicine, which focuses on attempting to treat disease once it occurs, the chiropractic care offered at Saranac Chiropractic Center in Saranac emphasizes the importance of improving your health in an effort to reduce the risk of pain and illness in the first place.
At Saranac Chiropractic Center, I take great pride in providing the finest chiropractic care to each and every patient. I have included information below about the different chiropractic services offered in my Saranac chiropractic office, but please call me at 616-642-9455 if you have any questions!
I understand that arriving at a chiropractic office for the first time can be nerve racking. If you've never experienced chiropractic care before, you may not know what to expect when you come to my Saranac chiropractic office for the first time. Filling out paperwork, learning new faces, and getting to know your way around the office can be an overwhelming experience.
In some ways, one could say that chiropractic care is a bit like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work together correctly. When building a house, if you tried to build your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually may even collapse.
Many people go to a chiropractor because they are in pain. In this first phase of care, the main goal is to reduce your symptoms. Most chiropractors will require daily visits, or two to three visits per week for a time. In general, most patients at Saranac Chiropractic center are seen weekly until they are 80% resolved.

I'm visiting from out of state and was referred to Dr. Thorp by a dear friend. I've been in pain for over a month and Dr. Thorp straightened me out and the pain is going away! I'm so thankful for his expertise. I'd never been to one before and he made me totally at ease and explained everything he was doing!

I had a back injury that occurred at work. After seeing numerous other professionals who did nothing but make the area worse, I finally went to the best and achieved relief! John Thorpe achieves what others cannot touch and does it with an affordable price and a smile! I HIGHLY recommend him for pain issues anywhere on your body.
