Not sure what’s causing your symptoms? That’s what your first visit is for. Dr. Dockery’s comprehensive exam is designed to identify the root cause — not just treat where it hurts.

Back Pain
The most common reason patients visit us. Whether it’s acute, chronic, or recurrent — we find the structural and neuromuscular cause and build care around it.
Learn more →Neck Pain
Stiffness, aching, sharp pain, or restricted range of motion — cervical spine dysfunction is often more complex than it appears, and responds well to targeted care.
Learn more →Herniated Disc
Non-surgical relief for disc herniations causing back pain, sciatica, or radiating arm pain. COX flexion-distraction and end range loading — specific to your disc.
Learn more →Sciatica
Radiating pain, numbness, or tingling down the leg — sciatica has multiple causes and each one has a different treatment approach. We identify yours precisely.
Learn more →Headaches & Migraines
Many headaches originate in the cervical spine and respond dramatically to chiropractic care — even when years of other treatments have failed to provide lasting relief.
Learn more →TMJ Dysfunction
Jaw pain, clicking, locking, or headaches from the jaw — often driven by the cervical spine connection most providers miss. We treat the jaw and neck as one system.
Learn more →Auto Accident Injuries
Whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and post-collision pain — billed directly to auto insurance, same-day appointments, comprehensive documentation from visit one.
Learn more →Shoulder Pain
Rotator cuff injuries, impingement, and shoulder dysfunction — assessed and treated as part of the full kinetic chain, not in isolation.
Coming soonHip & SI Joint Pain
Sacroiliac joint dysfunction is one of the most commonly misdiagnosed sources of lower back and hip pain. Specific testing identifies it accurately.

The conditions below are treated regularly at Life in Motion. If yours isn’t listed, call us — if it’s musculoskeletal, neurological, or related to your spine and joints, there’s a good chance we can help or direct you to the right provider.
Every condition gets a specific plan — not a standard protocol
Dr. Dockery’s training in Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS), neurodynamics, and end range loading means your care is built around what your exam actually reveals — not what the most common treatment for your diagnosis happens to be.
That specificity is why patients who’ve tried other offices without resolution often find answers here. The assessment finds the root cause. The treatment plan addresses it directly.
Your first visit includes a full consultation, comprehensive movement and neurological exam, digital X-rays if indicated, and same-day treatment — all in one appointment.

Not sure what’s causing your pain?
That’s exactly what your first visit is designed to answer. Dr. Dockery’s comprehensive exam identifies the root cause — even when previous providers haven’t been able to.
“I came in having already seen other providers without getting real answers. Dr. Dockery’s approach is different — he’s trained in advanced movement-based assessment that helps us understand not just where you hurt, but why.”— Life in Motion Patient · Livonia, MI
