Expert Upper Cervical Care
in Troy, Michigan

 

Welcome to Elevation Spinal Care, Troy Michigan’s premier chiropractor specializing in advanced upper cervical care. Dr. Josh Durand serves patients throughout Troy, Rochester Hills, Sterling Heights, and Oakland County with cutting-edge chiropractic techniques designed to address the root cause of pain and dysfunction. As a trusted Troy MI chiropractor, we focus on delivering lasting results through precise spinal correction and personalized care plans tailored to each patient’s unique needs.



Expert Chiropractic Care in Troy, Michigan

Our Troy chiropractic office utilizes the QSM3 method, a revolutionary approach to upper cervical care that goes beyond traditional chiropractic adjustments. Unlike conventional techniques that focus on temporary symptom relief, our approach identifies and corrects structural misalignments at their source. This allows your body to heal naturally and maintain proper alignment long-term.

 

Dr. Josh Durand combines state-of-the-art diagnostic technology with proven upper cervical techniques to provide comprehensive care for patients dealing with chronic pain, mobility issues, and various health conditions. Our Troy MI location is equipped with advanced imaging and analysis tools, including digital X-ray and thermography, to precisely identify the source of your discomfort and track your progress throughout treatment.



Conditions We Treat at Our Troy Chiropractic Office

As your Troy Michigan chiropractor, we specialize in treating a wide range of conditions that respond well to upper cervical care:

Migraines and Headaches: Chronic migraines and tension headaches often stem from misalignments in the upper cervical spine. Our patients frequently experience significant reduction in migraine frequency and intensity through targeted upper cervical correction.

Neck Pain: Whether from poor posture, whiplash, or chronic strain, neck pain can be debilitating. Our gentle, precise adjustments address the underlying structural issues causing your discomfort.

Vertigo and Dizziness: The connection between upper cervical alignment and the vestibular system means that proper spinal correction can often resolve chronic vertigo and balance issues.

Back Pain and Sciatica: From upper back tension to lower back pain and sciatica, our comprehensive approach addresses spinal health from top to bottom.

TMJ Disorders: Jaw pain and TMJ dysfunction often improve when upper cervical alignment is restored, reducing tension throughout the head and neck.

Sports Injuries: Active individuals and athletes trust us to help them recover from injuries and optimize their performance through proper spinal alignment.



The QSM3 Method: Advanced Upper Cervical Care

QSM3 chiropractic seeks to get the head on straight by restoring motion to the joints of the cervical spine (neck) and ensuring proper alignment of the head and neck. Proper head alignment takes the stress off of bony and soft tissue structures of the neck allowing for the muscles to relax, pain to subside, and tension to dissipate. A thorough chiropractic examination of the neck (cervical spine) will help indicate the structural cause of the pain and give information on how to proceed with QSM3 chiropractic treatment to provide relief of neck pain.

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your journey to better health at our Troy chiropractic office begins with a comprehensive evaluation. During your initial consultation, Dr. Josh Durand will: 

Consultation: You’ll sit down with Dr. Durand to talk about  your symptoms, previous treatments, and health goals. This detailed conversation helps us develop a complete picture of your condition.

 

Conduct a Thorough Examination: Using advanced diagnostic tools, we perform our signature structural analysis, and a nerve scan to see how nerves along the spine may be affected by your structural condition and how this may be involved in the presence of your symptoms. 

 

Take Diagnostic Images: When appropriate, we use digital X-ray imaging to visualize your spinal alignment and identify specific misalignments affecting your health.

 

Develop Your Care Plan: Based on your unique condition, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan designed to achieve your health goals.

***Visit 2***

 

Report of Findings: Dr. Durand will review all of your findings and exam with you in detail, helping you understand the root cause of your symptoms and how upper cervical care can help, along with the details of your care plan.

Upper Cervical Adjustment: You will then be able to receive your first adjustment in office after your care plan has been presented to you.

I can happily state that I no longer remember the last time I had a migraine. I also had moderate lower back pain that has been entirely eliminated as well. Dr. Josh is professional and has a polite bed-side manner. He truly believes in the techniques and formulating a plan for resolving his patient’s pain.

I am very grateful for the change I have experienced and would highly recommend Dr. Josh Durand for chiropractic care. I was in serious need of pain relief for back issues that had gone on way too long. He not only was able to immediately decrease the pain, but my sleep improved, headaches went away and my chronic knee pain decreased in such a way that I was able to go on walks again. Dr. Josh listens and truly cares about getting to the root cause of your problem for long term relief.

I love Doctor Durand! He's helped me with hip pain that is basically non-existent now and I had no idea he could help with my acid reflux which also has allowed me to stop taking my Omeprazole. I drive an hour to see him and it's totally worth it! Thanks Doc 🙂

“My back, neck, and wrist feel better than they have in years."

Anthony Laurain
Anthony Laurain
I was skeptical of the typical chiropractor service before I met Doctor Josh. Now I can't remember life before I started seeing him a couple short months ago. He is knowledgeable, determined, and LOVES what he does. I feel completely comfortable in his hands. And I can say that my back, neck and wrist feel better than they have in years. My favorite part is that he is determined to fix the root cause of your problem. Not just treat the pain or symptoms. He puts you on a program that caters to your issues, with the intention of fixing it over a few months. He gives you workouts/exercises to help retain your adjustments. I would recommend Doctor Josh to anyone without hesitation!

“He was able to relieve some extreme hip pain I was having onset our first visit after barely knowing me or my body.”

Kaitlyn Polonis

Dr J offers quite the experience as far as being both professional and knowledgeable. As a patient, he WANTS you to understand what’s going on and what he’s doing to help. He was able to relieve some extreme hip pain I was having onset our first visit after barely knowing me or my body. From being one body worker to another (I work in fitness and therapy myself), I was very excited that our paths were able to cross! You definitely want this guy on your team for body care and overall wellness. Thanks Josh!

“I tried nearly every pain relieving treatment I ever heard of"

Claudia Zdremtan
Claudia Zdremtan
I would like to highly endorse and recommend Dr. Josh. I have been a patient of his for about six months and I was impressed from the beginning with his knowledge, great communication of the treatment plan, friendliness and professionalism. After two major car accidents that left me with neck, shoulder, back and hip pain for 15 years, I have tried nearly every pain relieving treatment and technique I ever heard of. Some worked but most required me to continue for lifetime. Dr. Josh truly took his treatment at another level and I was very happy to learn that his goal is to make me feel better and teach my body how to stay pain free without having to depend on a chiropractor for life. After the first treatment I was already feeling much better and definitely wanted to continue. Even though my schedule was all over the place and I also travel a lot, Dr. Josh was always willing to work with my schedule and made time for my visits accordingly. It has been very convenient that he came to my house and I didn’t have to leave for appointments, and not once did I feel in any way uncomfortable around him, he has always behaved highly professionally, as well as very personable and caring. He is genuinely a great person who wants to help people feel their best! Thank you Dr. Josh for all you do!

I can't believe how aligned and mobile I've become since I've started seeing Dr. Josh.”

Janet Knight

Dr. Josh house calls is not only convenient. But I feel like I get more one-on-one Care. Dr. Josh truly cares about his patients and spends the time on their concerns. I cannot believe how align and mobile I have become since I've started seeing Dr. josh. I have and would recommend Dr. Josh house calls.

"Off all medications for debilitating low back pain"

Maha Warra
Maha Warra
After shoveling snow February 2023 I experienced a combination of sacroiliac pain, sciatic pain and low back pain. It felt like a rubber band was around my right leg. The low back pain was debilitating and I was hunched over when I tried to stand straight up. Dr. Josh Durand took me into his care. I felt better after the first treatment. The pain became tolerable after 3 weeks. After about 9 months I was pain free and able to move around again at my baseline. I am only 50 years of age with a young child, so debility is not an option. It has been a great experience with a very kind and patient oriented practitioner. He uses the the QSM3 method and it works!! I highly recommend.

“After the first adjustment great improvement in sleep, mobility and shoulder pain I've had for 3 years was gone”

Michelle Schafman

I have been working with Dr. Josh for a few weeks. After the first adjustment I had great improvement in mobility and sleep and the shoulder pain that I've had for 3 years was gone. He is very respectful, attentive, and focused on figuring out and fixing your specific problems. Plus, he comes to your house! I highly recommend working with him.

“He helped straighten me out after years of being twisted"

Lisa Allen

I tremendously appreciate how Dr Josh takes the time to listen to my progress, whether I’m felling better or worse, every week, and asks questions through our conversation to gather detailed info which he uses to specifically tailor each adjustment at that time.

“Dr. Durand has been instrumental in helping me regain a more active lifestyle, so much so that I recently took up jogging and endurance hiking, which I never thought I would be able to get back to doing."

Amy Francis

Dr. Durand has been instrumental in helping me regain a more active lifestyle--so much so that I recently took up jogging and endurance hiking, which I never thought I would be able to get back to doing. Dr. Durand's approach is completely different from chiropractors I visited in the past--the appointments are longer, more informative, and more helpful than any of my previous experiences. He was able to greatly reduce the pain in my lower back and hips (I have arthritis in my lower spine--it went from nearly constant, deep pain to just occasional soreness) and eliminate the issues I had with digestion and with numbness in my foot. He is compassionate, caring, patient, knowledgable, and talented. I am incredibly grateful that I decided to give him a try--truly life changing.

“He helped me get back to exercising and doing the things I love."

“My back pain is entirely gone and I’m able to exercise, function, and move the way my body was intended."

Jordan Ciciotti
Jordan Ciciotti
I had a nagging injury in my low back for several years that no physical therapist or chiropractor could effectively treat…that is, until Dr. Josh addressed the root cause of the problem. I was initially reluctant to go to yet another doctor, but I was getting desperate to find a way to get the care and healing I needed. After only 4 months under Dr. Josh’s care, my back pain is entirely gone and I’m able to exercise, function, and move the way my body was intended to move. I truly believe God worked a miracle through Dr. Josh in my body. The right care and program made all the difference. With Dr. Josh, you aren’t walking into a revolving door type practice with a one-size-fits-all care approach. You are getting customized care that is unique to your specific needs, and it shows! Thank you Dr. Josh for your expert care and fantastic work over the past several months!

“I’m now off almost all of the prescription drugs I was taking from other doctors.”

Terry Sommerville
Terry Sommerville
Since July 2022, I have experienced lower body pain, hips, thighs and bottom of feet. Pain scale around 8 at times. Family doctor, foot specialist, pain management doctor and 2 neurologists and couldn't figure out what was going on with me. I was recommended by a fiend to visit Dr. Josh Durand and at this point I would try just about anything. I have seen chiropractors in the past with so so results. I have been seeing Dr. Durand for about 3 months. Dr. Durand has solved about 90% of my issues which is a true miracle. The results came after about 10-12 visits and has maintained from there. I'm now off of almost all of the prescription drugs I was taking from the other doctors. Dr. Durand has a different method than I have ever experienced and would highly recommend him to anyone that can't find help anywhere else. Wish I would have started with him but at least I found him. Terry S.

“After just 3 visits with Dr. Durand I already felt better and my X-rays have improved. I feel like I’m getting my life back”

I was being treated for 5 months somewhere else and getting no relief for my low back pain. After just 3 visits with Dr. Durand I already felt better and my X-rays have improved. My workouts have improved and I feel like I’m getting my life back! I highly recommended seeing Dr. Durand if you are having any issues!!

Alexis Purdy

Dr. Josh is the best! I’ve had back pain my whole life and within a few adjustments, it was gone! He sees our whole family. My son had not stop wetting the bed (he was 10) and within 1 adjustment he stopped. He does more than help your back, he helps your whole body heal!

“Since his treatment, my daughter’s headaches, which used to occur several times a week, have completely stopped.”

Gary Givental
Gary Givental
Dr. Durand has been a game changer for my 9-year-old daughter, who suffered from frequent, debilitating headaches for years. His use of body scans to pinpoint exactly what’s out of alignment was impressive, utilizing real data to identify and treat the root causes. Since his treatment, her headaches, which used to occur several times a week, have completely stopped. We haven’t seen one in months. His approach was not only effective but also gentle and reassuring, making a huge difference in her quality of life. We’re deeply grateful for his expertise and the relief he’s brought to our family.
