I have been a patient of the Atlas Orthogonal form of chiropractic care for 21 years now. This is the only type of chiropractic care that has been able to give me relief from neck/back pain resulting from a whiplash injury I suffered in my early 20's. I moved to the Fort Worth area in September and started working with Dr. Michlin and Nancy at Back to Health Family Chiropractic in October 2021.
Due to the physical demands of my move, I was away from care for almost 2 months when I started working with Dr. Michlin. I was in significant pain. Due to my history of dealing with this condition, I was also quite emotionally stressed. In the past 21 years, my family has moved frequently, and I have worked with 4 different Atlas Orthogonal doctors; all of them have been very knowledgeable, helpful, and kind.
This care has allowed me to raise my family, earn a graduate degree, and work. In the last 21 years, the pain has alternated between being gone, being at a low level, steadily increasing, or flaring based on my activities. I had come to believe that the best I could do was (hopefully) keep it under control so I wouldn't have to deal with the depression that had presented before I found the atlas treatment 21 years ago--which I sincerely believe was an answer to prayer.
When I started working with Dr. Michlin, he told me he could take me out of pain and keep me out of pain. I did not believe him at first. I do believe him now. I have been under his care for 5 months now. My time out of pain has gradually increased, so now I am almost always, entirely, out of pain. I actively participate in my care by being attentive to my diet, as well as daily hot yoga to stretch and strengthen my spine. Dr. Michlin has given me hope--hope that my condition can be treated, and for the ability to live pain free. Words can't really express how grateful I am for the work that Dr. Michlin and Nancy do each day.

My girlfriend has gone to "Back to Health" for about a year. She has seen a major reduction in chronic pain that had previously been quite severe. She had a possible neck injury as a child and was not able to find much relief. They have focused on corrective care for her and we are excited to see continued improvement and eventual full recovery.

A remarkable and effective treatment! I have been experiencing a recurring musculoskeletal problem most of my adult life, and have visited many chiropractors and tried many other treatment types over the years with little long term effect. I had not heard of Atlas Orthogonal therapy prior to beginning treatment with Dr Michlin, and frankly was a bit skeptical.
Not so today. First, Dr Michlin's initial assessment, which included pre and post x-rays, was as thorough and comprehensive as any I had ever experienced. Next, using this data, he targeted only the areas in need of adjustment rather than a wholesale chiropractic adjustment of everything as I had experienced with other practitioners. Finally, he checked and kept the atlas (top bone of the spine that meets the scull) in alignment before proceeding with any adjustment. His medically thoughtful and fact-based approach has left me virtually pain free today. A truly exceptional result!

I've been a patient of Dr. Michlin's for over 7 years now. Prior to starting treatment I lived with chronic neck and back pain. Thanks to the care I've received here I am pain free today! (It didn't take 7 years to get pain free I've just kept coming back that long because I know what's good for me) Not only do I feel better physically but I have gained some very special friends along the way. Dr. Michlin and his precious wife, Nancy, are truly a blessing.

Dr. Chris Michlin is the only doctor I will see for issues I have with my spine and neck. His knowledge is unsurpassed. The relief I feel after a treatment is hard to describe. My eye site improves, sinus cavities are open, and I can think more clear. Everything about his office and chiropractic care is fantastic. You can literally, trust him with your life.

**Update to my review, in response to the clinic's follow-up where they said, "When someone contacts us for care, the first thing we establish is if the patient is seeking a long-term corrective approach or a quick fix to get out of pain." I appreciate the quick response, but I was NOT offered a quick fix option at your clinic that day, nor was I offered the option to waive the x-rays or comprehensive exam.
I would have absolutely chosen that option, as my pain level was nearly a 10. Dr. Lane in Arlington understood my pain level and adjusted me same-day. When someone is in that crippling amount of pain, the option of a quick fix should be offered, and I'm glad to hear you normally do that. But it was not offered to me that day, and my husband is witness to that.
I believe this place is probably great for those with chronic issues, but perhaps not if you need immediate relief. I haven't wanted to write this review because I think these are good people who mean well, have extensive knowledge, and change many lives. But again, if you are on pain level of 8-10 and require immediate relief, you may need something different and that's why I am sharing my truth.
When I entered this office awhile back, I could barely walk. My back was jammed for days upon days. It happened out of nowhere and the pain was unreal. I couldn't even dress or bathe myself without my husband's help. I was offered an expensive package that would take many appointments, and several supplements. I believe it was nearly $700. The hands-on part: I was taken into the room and put on the table that moves the spine a bit.
The doctor then rolled a vibrating massager over my back. And that was it. Not one actual adjustment was made. This was my first ever visit to a chiro, so I didn't know what to say. I left quietly, in the same amount of pain, zero relief, and the appointment wasn't cheap. When I talked to my friend about it several days later, he was shocked I didn't get adjusted and referred me to his chiropractor who immediately adjusted me all over.
It hurt, but it worked. I was walking normally that very night. The relief felt life-changing, and I was charged much less for that single appointment. Later on, I felt 95% normal again. I went again the following week, and I was then 100% pain free. I've been getting this type of regular adjustment every few months for a couple years now and I've never had a problem again.
My main purpose in sharing this isn't to hurt a good business that obviously helps many people, my purpose is to help people who may have a situation like I had, and require immediate relief. Some people need a different type of care, that's all. And I was one of them.

There are so many positive things I can say about Nancy and Dr. Michlin! I have been seeing Dr. Michlin for chiropractic treatment for almost a year. It has been the best medical decision I have ever made and I am so fortunate I stumbled upon their website. I have seen many, many top of the line doctors and none of them were able to get me back to how my body was before my injuries.
I can say with full confidence that Dr. Michlin is the one who is credited getting me back to how I should be. Dr. Michlin and Nancy truly listen and feel for each patient's experiences. You really never go through your pain alone with these two on your side. And when I thought they couldn't do more for me, I left a voicemail on a Sunday asking for an earlier appointment in the week because an incident happened, and Nancy called me right back scheduling me for Monday! Additionally, incidents have happened in the middle of the week and they are able to fit me in that day!
There is no comparison on the service the patients receive. Beyond how their practice operates, they are the kindest, most selfless, generous people I've ever met and I don't know if it can be topped. My favorite thing about their practice is that X-Rays are taken before adjustments are made. Dr. Michlin is not about trying to pop every bone he can.
It's in fact the opposite. It's about only adjusting what you need and it is what separates his practice from the others. Additionally before any adjustments are made, Dr. Michlin always takes the time to answer any questions that I have and provides an explanation of what he is doing so I know what to expect. My other favorite thing about their practice is that I always leave feeling relieved and in a great mood. It's always a great day when I get to go see them.

Dr Michlin and Nancy Michlin at Back to Health Texas have helped to improve my quality of life dramatically. For years I was in discomfort, experiencing intermittent pain, and almost daily headaches which coupled with a stressful occupation was progressively getting worse. I hit a low point one day and finally made the phone call to Back to Health. Nancy listened and discussed the treatment they provide very thoroughly which gave me hope right away that I could feel good again.
From day one they were genuinely concerned about getting me better. Dr. Michlin was very precise in everything he did for me. He also reassured me that if he saw anything along the way that he felt would require an alternate form of treatment that he would be sure to direct me to the appropriate medical professional. I've always felt safe and confident in their practice.
Today I'm like a different person. Feeling well enables me to better deal with the job stress and my overall health has greatly improved since my first day with Dr. Michlin. I would absolutely recommend Back to Health. Brian

I have been coming to Back to Health for a year now. And wish I would have found them years ago...I went in yesterday and my atlas was out for the first time since June. I noticed my breathing had been shallower and I was waking with headaches and neck pain, I had forgotten what it felt like with my atlas out and just thought I was just worn down, I didn't put two and two together.
After the adjustment I immediately noticed I could take a full breath again. Today I feel I'm standing taller and my lower back pain is much better and I can breath again! I'm amazed at what a simple procedure has done for my over all well being. Nancy and Chris are awesome and truly care for their patients.

I really respect Dr. Michlin & Nancy, as it seems they have done a lot of good for so many patients. They were professional, thorough, and even made time to take a concerned phone call from me over the weekend of my care. I've had some time to think about my experience at Back to Health after ending my care through the middle of the plan. My biggest complaint is that before I was even examined, I was being pitched an extensive, time and money-consuming 2 week plan that was based off of adjusting the atlas, before even knowing if my atlas was a source of my problems.
I appreciated that before taking the dive, I was given a free consultation that was detailed. Within the first week of treatments and $736.23 given towards my treatment here, I didn't feel so sure anymore. I am no professional in this field, but I became uncomfortable with my plan of care. My suggestion is, don't immediately sell an atlas adjustment plan before even doing the X-rays.
I won't go into details as to what puzzled me about the treatment and logic of it, and ultimately made me quit midway through, but those are my sincere suggestions to this practice. Thank you.

Dr. Michlin and Nancy have a wonderful practice dedicated to making people well. My wife and I researched chiropractic options for our son and that led us to Back to Health. We are still on our journey with him but we have been pleased with the changes we have seen. The care that Chris and Nancy have for their patients is evident. We couldn't have asked for a warmer experience. if you are considering chiropractic care, definitely call and speak with them.

I have been receiving treatment from Dr. Michlin since moving to the area in July of 2016. I had been regularly receiving chiropractic care in another state before that, but there was something missing. I never knew what a difference having my atlas adjusted and stabilized could make! Dr. Michlin has been absolutely instrumental in my ability to say that I rarely experience back or neck pain any more.
And in those rare instances, Dr. Michlin quickly gets me realigned and back on the right track. It is always a pleasure to visit an office that is not only professional but that cares about you and is warm and comfortable enough to converse about your everyday life. I highly recommend Back to Health Family Chiropractic for all your chiropractic needs.

Dr. Johnson and his staff have always been incredible. I began going there years ago after a car wreck and they have always shown great patience and expertise. I always feel amazing after leaving and they take the time to answer any questions or concerns I have. Five stars isn't enough. Great facility, recommended to all of my friends.

I will travel far for excellent customer service and excellent health care, because they are so very important! Here, I get the best of both! I love science and don't like leaving my health to guess work by doctors who experiment on people with what they "think" is a good course of action. Dr. Michlin takes x-rays and uses precise measurements to give the exact adjustment needed. An adjustment in the wrong direction can do just as much damage as an adjustment in the correct direction can give the body back the ability to heal. Check out the website and see for yourself.

Dr. Michlin and his wife Nancy have been a gift to my family. I have lived with dibilitating chronic illness my whole adult life. I had both congenital issues, Arnold Chiari Malformation, and history of a bad car accident 30 years ago. I recently moved to the DFW area from Chicago and was looking to continue my Atlas Orthogical care that I was receiving back in Woodstock Il.
At that point I was on maintenance and still having at least 1-3 major migraines a week, with they additional need for regular trigger point and nerves blocks. Dr. Michlin's expert care has advanced my progress significantly. I am down to the occasional migraine in the moderate range, I am taking a significantly lower amount of pain medication and have not been reliant on shots
Nancy has helped me find the right path to control my IBS through my diet. I just came back from a vacation where I was able to snorkel for the first time. I strongly recommend their compassionate care.

I must offer a 5 star review of Back to Health Family Chiropractic. I have been under the care of Dr. Michlin for at least 15 years. There is not a health issue I've had that he hasn't been able to help me with. I've seen him for headaches, allergies, injuries as well as continuing care. And when you are in his office, your issue is the only thing on his mind.
And it's not just all that he's done for me.
Dr. Michlin has worked miracles for my family, particularly my oldest daughter. She suffered serious hip injuries during a very difficult birth. She was bedridden, not able to move without pain. Dr. Michlin heard about my daughter and asked us to bring her in. When we thought all hope was lost, Dr. Michlin proved that it was not.
With great effort on his part, my daughter was able to carry her baby in her arms again. She has since had a second child and just opened her own Hair Salon. It's not just the immediate care that sets him apart, or even the truly professional care he provides over the long term. It's the team that you find there. Nancy, Dr. Michlin's wife, is one half of their services.
From the time you walk in to the time you walk out you are treated with warmth and empathy. Nancy is just so encouraging. When you are called back to Dr. Michlin, she has already soothed your pain just by her caring ways. Over the years she has developed a wealth of knowledge and is always willing to share it in any way that might help. Dr. Michlin and Nancy are true partners and it shows in every facet of their practice.
The name of the practice really sums it all up too. Back to Health Family Chiropractic. He and Nancy really do care about the whole family. And my whole family is healthier because they do. Thank you, for all that you do for us, both of you.
