Specialty Testing in Jackson, Michigan
Lab work that answers the question behind how you have been feeling, so the next step on your journey is one you choose with your eyes open.
Answers First, Then a Plan
Specialty testing shows what is going on inside your body before anyone suggests a supplement, a change at the dinner table or a course of care. Dr. David Severance DC, ND and Dr. Moriah Severance DC, ND are licensed as chiropractors and as naturopathic doctors, and that second credential is why lab work sits at the center of what we do in Jackson rather than off to the side. It lets us blend the principles of traditional and modern healthcare: the lab supplies the evidence, and the conversation afterwards turns that evidence into small, lasting changes you can actually keep. Patients travel to us from Jackson, Spring Arbor, Grass Lake, Michigan Center and Brooklyn for that kind of clarity. The panels we work with most often are:
- York Test, a food sensitivity panel that points to what may be quietly fueling inflammation or unsettling your digestion
- Metabolomix from Genova Diagnostics, a reading of how well you are absorbing nutrients and clearing what your body no longer needs
- Dutch Test, a hormone picture assembled from samples you collect across an ordinary day at home
- Whole-picture profiling, where findings from more than one panel are read alongside each other instead of in isolation
Testing Process
Consultation
You sit down with Dr. David or Dr. Moriah and decide together whether a panel is worth running at all
Testing
Collection is undemanding, some of it here on a Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday morning, some of it at your kitchen table
Analysis
Findings are talked through with you line by line, because a report you cannot read teaches you nothing
Action Plan
Food, supplement and adjustment choices drawn from what your own numbers show, paced for the life you lead
Common Questions
How do I know which panel is right for me?
You do not have to work it out on your own. Bring what you have noticed in your body to a consultation, and Dr. David or Dr. Moriah will weigh it against your history and your goals before recommending anything. Sometimes that points to the York Test, sometimes to Metabolomix or the Dutch Test, and sometimes it points to changing what is on your plate first and testing later. Nobody here leaves holding lab orders they did not agree to.
Will my insurance pay for specialty testing?
It depends on your plan and on which panel is being run, since these sit outside what a routine visit covers. Give us a call at (517) 581-2785 and our team will look into your benefits with you before a single test is ordered, so you know where you stand ahead of time rather than afterwards.
When will my results come back, and what happens then?
Turnaround ranges from several days to a few weeks depending on the laboratory. Once yours arrive we set aside a follow-up during our Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday hours and go through them with you, then decide what is worth changing first. You set the pace from there, because true health is a continuous voyage, marked by sustainable transformations.
