Cold laser Therapy

Groundbreaking Technology
High-tech Digital X-rays
Brandon Chiropractic utilizes high tech digital x-rays.
X-ray results are immediate, x-ray quality is extremely high and can be enlarged to view hard to see areas.
80% less radiation exposure, which is lower than older type film x-rays, makes it safer for the patient.
MyoVision Exam
Brandon Chiropractic is proud to offer MyoVision to our patients.
MyoVision ScanVision uses the same technology as an ECC/EKG to detect issues with the spine and measure muscle activity. The scan is painless, non-invasive and takes approximately one minute. Further, it is safe for all patients, including children and pregnant women.
Just as cardiovascular health is tracked with a blood pressure cuff, ScanVision tracks your spinal health to help determine the proper course of care, and track progress over time.
What Our Patients Say
“The staff is always friendly and accommodating. My back has never felt better! Highly recommend!”
“Wonderful staff! The whole atmosphere is calm and kind adding to an overall positive experience. I’m always leaving there feeling better than when I arrived.”
“Brandon Chiropractor is awesome. Friendly staff and Jay is very professional.”
“About three months ago I started to get terrible pain in my hips and back. This pain got worse and worse over time so I went the Chiropractic Center. I was a bit scared at first and didn’t know what to expect but I was immediately comforted by everyone there. Three months later and I’ve never moved better in my life. I’m happier, better at golf and Horseback riding, and sleeping has become so much easier.”
“This guy Dr. Stark is excellent. I don’t go to the chiropractor often enough and that’s mostly because of bad experiences but I’ve had nothing but positive experiences since coming to this office. The staff are all pleasant and professional and most importantly my adjustments have given immediate positive results. Most of the time when I’ve gone to a chiropractor they try to set me up on a multiple visit plan and the adjustments seem to start off very minor and simple and my last adjustment after several visits will be extremely thorough and cover multiple positions of back cracking and adjusting whereas the first one will have two minor adjustments. They keep you coming back and keep taking your money. That is not at all how it is at this office. Dr. Stark wants to fix you fast and fix you right and fix you good.”
“I’ve recently started to have heel pain and suspected it was due to nerve issues. After reading tons of reviews I decided to give Brandon Chiropractic center a try. Best decision ever. I’m sleeping better, my heel pain is nearly gone and I feel focused and energized. Dr. Stark is gentle and efficient. His staff is happy and great to chat with. So glad I called.”
“I have been to many chiropractors over the years, and Dr. Stark is by far the best. His adjustments are gentle, yet effective. Dr. Stark and the staff are friendly and welcoming. Also, it is easy for me to pop in at a moment’s notice, and their office’s flexibility works with my schedule.”
“I had always been afraid to go to a chiropractor. But after throwing my back out many times and just resting it to try to heal, I decided to try Dr. Stark at the suggestion of a friend. I am so glad I did! He is very gentle with the adjustments and explains what he is doing. He showed me exercises to strengthen my back, which I do on a regular basis, and they have really helped. I have also experienced the laser treatment when I had problems with my knee and when I rolled my ankle. The laser treatment is amazing and helped my injuries heal much faster. The entire staff at Brandon Chiropractic is very friendly and professional, and I feel very fortunate to have them in our community!”
“I can’t say enough good things about Dr Stark and his staff. Walking into the office is like coming into a friends house, always welcoming. After my Dr sent me to several specialists including neurologist and having extensive MRIs for neck pain and vertigo and telling me there was nothing they could do, I decided to try chiropractic care. Within the first two visits I started to feel better. It’s been four years and I haven’t had vertigo problems or near the pain in my neck. I always feel like I stand taller when I leave his office.”
“I’ve been a patient of Dr. Stark for several years. I have had other Chiropractors but, Dr. Stark is by far the best. The staff in the office are welcoming, friendly and above all really good people, even Dr. Stark :) . You could not be in better hands (no pun intended).”
“I can’t say enough about Brandon Chiropractic! From the adjustment, to massage to treatments and customer service! Their services have absolutely made a positive impact on our health and we couldn’t be happier. Highly recommended!”
“Dr. Stark and his staff are amazing! I cannot say enough good things about him! I have been going to him periodically since their first year in 1997 and will never change! He is very professional yet still feels practically like family.
He cares for your whole wellbeing, not just your spine. In fact he ended up being the doctor that discovered my mom’s cancer had spread to her bones! What other chiropractor would do that? AND he then even attended her funeral! Our family will never forget that.
Additionally, his office is extremely flexible with appointments and can often get you in that same day, especially if you’re hurting.”
“The absolute best in Chiropractic care!
I have recommended and will continue to recommend people to Dr. Stark. Wally and I have been patients for 20+ years and will continue to be until Doc retires”

Dr. Jay Stark, DC
23 years experience as a practicing chiropractor
22 years in Ortonville
Graduated Cum Laude, D.C. Palmer College of Chiropractic
Member of the Michigan Association of Chiropractors
Continuing education classes taken annually
Played professional hockey, was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in 1986 and played for the Flint Spirits of the I.H.L. in 1989
I became a chiropractor because of my own personal experiences. My mother started taking me to a chiropractor at the age of 12. Throughout my hockey career, I had many injuries, and teams back then did not have team chiropractors.
Thankfully because of my experience with chiropractic when I was young, I knew to seek chiropractic care on my own (Thanks Mom!). If I had not, my career would have been over. Chiropractic care was the key to keeping me going.
I utilize in my practice today many of the things I learned back then. I understand the importance of all forms of health care, and do not hesitate to refer people to other health care providers when needed. The main goal of our office is to help people get their quality of life back and excel in all they do.
Chiropractic care changed my life.
We provide a caring, professional environment to help as many people as possible change their lives, too.
