Sleeping soundly, better flexibility, less pain
How would your describe your health before you began receiving your adjustments? Pain in neck and lower back which wasn’t being controlled by strong pain …
Share this:
Neck pain, better balance, stronger knee
The reduced pain of course! Also the balanced stance is huge for me. Now my left leg and the muscles surrounding my weakened knee are much stronger just from walking/standing correctly. Also the procedure is painless, quick, and inexpensive.

Improved healing and better balance
I am now more aware of my posture and feel the adjustments (though hardly noticeable) have improved my body’s balance. My injured area was aided in its healing process, and I’m becoming better educated on one more way to take care of my body through exercises, and an occasional check-up.

Felt sick, backache, and profuse sweating
“I felt sick just about every day. Now, I rarely feel sick. My backaches are only minimally painful, if at all. I have almost no sweating (it was awful before). I have more energy and have a much more positive outlook on all things. I have enjoyed the personalized treatments and the general outcome of the adjustment.”

I am an engineer and I don’t buy into medical procedures unless there’s a legitimate explanation and plan behind the treatment. Dr. Ward far exceeded expectations! Not only did he want to relieve my immediate neck pain (the reason I visited), he spent a lot of time diagnosing my issues with facts and data. His methodology is outstanding: fix the underlying root cause of why the pain occurred, not just provide immediate, temporary relief. I’ve referred all my friends with back and neck issues to Dr. Ward. Thanks for the fantastic work!

Bryan Dugan
I have a desk job, that along with my bad posture, caused regular strain on my neck and upper back. This pain had kept waking me throughout the night. When the pain had become unbearable, a good friend of mine had referred me to Dr. Z.
After my consultation, I learned about Dr. Z’s techniques that are completely different from any of my other chiropractic experiences. After just my first visit, I felt immediate relief!
Dr. Z is passionate about his craft and walks his patients through every step of his process. His attention to detail and the pride he takes in his work is admirable. I can’t thank Dr. Z enough for helping me fix my posture and eliminating my pain.

Dr. Zach was able to help my cousin with many of her issues. He is very professional and takes great care of his patient’s needs. I would highly recommend him.
Robert J. Meyer
Dr. Zach is amazing. Chiropractic like you’ve never experienced before – no back or neck cracking!
I recommend him to everyone I know who is experiencing any type of back or neck discomfort!
Sandy Drader
Dr. Zac is kind and friendly. I had sciatica pain when I started going to him 3 years ago. It wasn’t many treatments and the pain was gone, and hasn’t returned. He is very knowledgeable and will answer any questions you have. I have referred many people to him and highly recommend him.
Mark Rebner
I have been a patient of Dr. Zach and Life in Alignment Chiropractic since 2012. My work, as well as all the years of lifting weights, and playing soccer and basketball as a kid, have contributed to my share of low back issues. Now, as a massage therapist, I have to keep my body healthy so I can continue to serve my clients. So, a primary part of my self-care regimen is to receive regular chiropractic care from Dr. Zach Ward at Life in Alignment Chiropractic. I experienced dramatic changes from the first adjustment.

I cannot say enough good! He is amazing!!!!! After 2 weeks of extreme lower back pain, after 3 visits, I am almost completely pain free. I have very minimal discomfort only.
Ryan Dixon
I saw Dr. Zach after injuring my neck and back. He has helped me immensely. I would recommend him to anyone struggling with neck pain and doesn’t know what to do. It was worth the drive from Walled Lake.
Thanks Dr. Zach!

Dr Ward is the real deal. When I came to him after going through PT, I was always in pain, depressed, and starting to lose hope. Earlier this month I climbed a mountain. Do yourself a huge favor and call him.
Amanda Gaid
Dr. Ward has been really helpful and fantastic to work with in consulting and advising me on how to go about treating my alignment issues. Though I wasn’t in Michigan long enough to start a regimen with him, it’s 100% clear by his expertise, approach, and attention to detail that he’d be a great choice. He really takes the time to get a 360 view of your situation so he can plan accordingly, which is something I haven’t seen much when working with other healthcare practitioners.
Brian Freytag
Dr. Ward is always improving his methods and is constantly learning new techniques and does everything he can to help you heal. He doesn’t care about temporary improvement, Dr. Ward is interested in healing and improving your quality of life. I’ve been very lucky to have him as my chiropractor for many years now.
Elise Norwood
Dr. Ward is The Best! A trusted friend recommended him, but I was VERY skeptical, didn’t think much of chiropractors,etc. However various specialists, medications and several rounds of physical therapy had done nothing to ease the severe, chronic neck pain I’d been living with for years so I figured I had nothing to lose. I liked Dr. Ward immediately, but the first few treatment sessions mystified me: how could such small, gentle movements accomplish anything? But in short order those small gentle movements accomplished everything and I’m now pain free. I’m still mystified by what he does, but am so grateful to find such a gifted healer. To repeat: he’s The Best!
Bonnie Knoppe
I experienced genuine healing under Dr. Ward’s care. I never expected this level of relief from chronic stiffness and pain.
Upper cervical spine adjustments are nothing like the cracking and twisting I’ve experienced at other chiropractors. This is gentle. So gentle I wondered how it could be working. But it works!
Josh Rubin
I thought back pain was just a sign of getting older and normal. I used to go to a traditional chiropractor 3 times a week to deal with my lower back pain. Now i go once every 4 weeks and that is just because i like to stay in alignment, no more lower back pain. Dr. Ward and his subtle techniques have greatly improved my quality of life, my agility to get a good’s night sleep and most importantly, eliminated any pain that i had suffered with for years. Thank you!

Denice Pysh
I go to Dr. Zach every 6 to 8 weeks. As long as I go to him I don’t have any headaches, my stomach feels better, my joints feel better, and I have more energy. Twice I decided to experiment and not go, but after a couple of months I felt horrible. Going to Zach makes me feel happy and healthy, and that’s how I want to feel in my life. Life in Alignment is a permanent part of my life. Ask my husband, he sees the difference. Thanks Zach!
Brooke Phillips
I learned about Dr. Ward from one of my acupuncture patients. I could tell from her explanation of his treatments that he was not like other Chiropractors in the area and I was very intrigued. Finally, I made it in to see him for an initial consultation. I didn’t have any major issues, but I always feel better with regular Chiropractic care. My first experience of his work exceeded my expectations. My body was so happy to receive the adjustments he made, and I felt a great sense of relaxation as my nervous system shifted afterward. Dr. Ward is different because he understands that it is not just about adjusting the spine. His work takes into consideration all of the other tissues of the body that influence the alignment of the spine. I highly recommend him and look forward to continuing my treatment.
Janet Dipirro
I’ve been going to chiropractors since I was 14 and I’m now 53. I have never had better results than I have with Dr Ward. If you aren’t trying his methods and trusting his knowledge and skill…you are missing the healthiest years of your life!!! I’ve moved out of the area, terrified to go to someone else, now that I’ve been to the best!!

I had never tried chiropractic services before, and to be honest I didn’t know much about what it could do, but after enough comments from my family and friends that I looked “crooked”, I decided to give it a try. Zach Ward is excellent – he is very thorough and conscientious, and takes the time to explain what he is doing. He took several pictures and X-rays to understand how he could help me best, and after just 3 treatments, I already feel a world better; I feel more flexible, it’s easier for me to stand up straight, and I (and others) can see the difference in my posture and even my height. I strongly recommend Zach to others!
Debra Harrison
My family wouldn’t know what to do with out Zach. He keeps us standing tall. My first experience was my knee problem. Regular doctor told me to stop climbing stairs and get chicken fat injection in my knee. Oooooo no not me yew.
Zach fixed it by alignment In just a few visits. He now keeps me climbing stairs etc etc love this guy.
You won’t know how good you can feel unless you give him a try.
Tammy Lynn
Dr ward is professional and knowledgeable. I have 10 herniated disks. I’ve been through years of physical therapy and injections. It wasn’t until I started seeing him that I actually started seeing improvements. My body was locked in so many odd positions essentially in survival mode. I am so thankful for him My quality of life is significantly better because of the care that I receive. I am forever grateful.
