Services
My name is Donna Vickers, and I am a Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP). My husband, Dr. Joel Vickers, and welcome you to our office, Vickers AK Chiropractic, located at 12930 James Street in Holland, Michigan. I started working with Dr. Vickers, in his Chiropractic office in 2006. I didn't know it then, but I was starting a new journey towards the world of nutritional therapy.
Being trained for over 28 years, he fully understands how a patient's nutritional status could impact their body's ability to heal and "hold" its Chiropractic adjustments. However, as a Doctor of Chiropractic who specializes in Applied Kinesiology, there are other services I can render at Vickers AK Chiropractic that far surpass that of basic Chiropractic.
Every joint in the body has muscles that cross the joints that (hopefully) are balanced enough to keep them aligned. There are 650 muscles that move 200 bones and hold these bones in their proper alignment. By "proper alignment" I mean they are aligned in such a way that the ends of the bones, i.e., the joints, fit perfectly together.
What is it? The Carpal Tunnel is a narrow passageway in your wrist that is made up of bones and ligaments. The Median Nerve, which runs from your shoulder to your hand, passes through this tiny tunnel and controls sensation in palm and fingers and movement in all your fingers except the pinky. What are the symptoms?
Do you ever wonder why you can't do the things you used to do when you were younger? Things like.walking, or running, or jumping? Are you telling your friends you can't take them up on their offer to play in that softball or volleyball league with them because of that old hip or knee injury, the nagging shoulder pain, or the wrist soreness?

Dr. Vickers helped my wife with her back, our kids with sports injuries, so I decided to see him for a bad shoulder. Between changing things structurally (shoulder, neck, back, even legs) and working with me on changing my nutrition, I'm moving better than I did 20 years ago. My mood is better (family says I'm not so grumpy) and I can see aging in a much different way. You're frankly amazing. Thanks, Dr. V. - great work.

I saw 4 different chiropractors in Holland who couldn't help with my hip. My MD said I might need hip surgery. I'd given up when a friend told me about Dr. Vickers. Skeptical after being disappointed so many times, I bit the bullet and went to his office. It changed my life. Not only was he able to use his skills to get my hip working again and pain-free, but he also helped get an old shoulder injury to the point where I have full movement again. I brought my Dad in who's in his 80's, my husband, and referred him to friends. All of them were helped. The office is clean, don't usually have to wait
