About True Health Chiropractic
We are not a typical chiropractic clinic. We are a team of practitioners who believe your body is capable of more than managing symptoms. We are here to help you prove it.
More Than a Chiropractic Clinic.
A Practice Built Around You.
True health is not just the absence of pain. It is the presence of energy, strength, and resilience in every part of your life. That is the belief that drives everything we do at True Health Chiropractic, and it is why our approach looks different from the moment you walk through the door.
We serve two communities across our Livonia and Romulus locations, and we have built a reputation for care that is thorough, personalized, and built to last. We do not chase symptoms. We look for root causes, build structured care plans, and stay with you through every phase of your recovery and long-term wellness.
Whether you are coming to us in pain, recovering from an injury, managing a chronic condition, or simply ready to invest in your health before problems develop, you will find a team here that takes your goals as seriously as you do.
Our Story
A Legacy That Started in 1964
True Health Chiropractic started with a family who believed in the power of the body to heal itself when given the right support.
The story begins with Dr. Ray Elwart, who had suffered from narcolepsy for years and had tried every available treatment without relief. After finally seeing a chiropractor, he never experienced another episode. That result was so profound that he moved his family to Davenport, Iowa, enrolled at Palmer College of Chiropractic, and brought his brother with him. He went on to build a practice in 1964 that would shape the careers of all three of his children, including Dr. Cynthia Shaft, who became a chiropractor herself and passed that calling on to her son, Dr. Jeremiah Shaft.
Dr. Jeremiah Shaft purchased the Romulus office in 2005 and added the Livonia location in 2018 because he grew up watching it change people’s lives and could not imagine doing anything else. That motivation is visible in every detail of how True Health operates today.
How We Approach Your Care
We Treat the Whole Person, Not Just the Symptom
Our philosophy is simple: the body is not broken. It is adaptive. When the right physical, nutritional, and lifestyle support is in place, it has a remarkable ability to self-regulate, repair, and thrive. Our job is to create those conditions and guide you through the process.
We do not believe in a standardized care plan. We never have. Our team uses a proprietary, phase-driven system called the Regenerative Longevity Framework, which moves patients through four intentional stages: resetting inflammation and calming the nervous system, restoring proper movement and function, regenerating tissue at a cellular level using advanced therapies, and sustaining those results through lifestyle and recovery strategies.
This structured approach allows us to integrate chiropractic adjustments, soft tissue work, advanced technologies like Class IV laser and shockwave therapy, and metabolic and nutritional support into one cohesive plan. The result is care that goes further and lasts longer than standard approaches.
Three Pillars of True Health
We believe lasting wellness requires attention in three areas, and we are equipped to support all of them.
Physical Function
We restore how your body moves, feels, and performs. Our chiropractic care ranges from gentle, light-touch, no-force adjusting to traditional manual techniques, always matched to what your body needs. We combine that with massage therapy and advanced regenerative therapies to deliver comprehensive physical support.
Nutritional and Metabolic Health
What you eat and how your metabolism functions has a direct impact on how quickly you recover, how much energy you have, and how well you age. We offer in-depth nutritional counseling, metabolic support, and lifestyle guidance that helps you fuel your body in a way that supports every aspect of your care plan.
Long-Term Resilience
Our goal is to build your capacity to stay well over time. We work with patients on long-term strategies that keep them active, strong, and resilient well into the future.
