About Rise Chiropractic

About Rise Chiropractic Co. - Bay City, MI

Healthcare professional consulting with patient Rise Chiropractic Co. was founded in 2020 by Dr. Jon and Dr. Chelsie, who brought over a decade of experience and a shared vision for delivering neurologically based chiropractic care to Bay City and the greater Great Lakes Bay region. Opening their doors on the very day the state declared a COVID emergency took resilience and heart, but they stayed true to their mission of serving families and individuals through advanced technology and compassionate, hands-on care. The practice has since grown into a vibrant, community-centered space where learning and mentoring the next generation of chiropractors is just as important as helping patients rise to their highest potential.

We are proud to serve Bay City, MI and the surrounding Great Lakes Bay region, welcoming patients of all ages and stages of life. From the moment you walk in, you are greeted by name and invited into an atmosphere where lifelong wellness and meaningful relationships matter. Over the years, many multi-generational families have trusted us to walk with them through life’s milestones and challenges, and our greatest joy is seeing children return year after year, growing alongside our own practice family.

Our services go beyond adjustments, offering holistic solutions that nurture your mind, body, and spirit so you can thrive in whatever matters most to you.

Dr. Chelsie Arnold

Healthcare services image For more than 12 years, I've had the privilege of helping babies, children, expecting moms, and families experience the life-changing benefits of a healthy, well-functioning nervous system. I believe the nervous system is the foundation for how we heal, grow, develop, adapt, and thrive, and I'm passionate about helping families build health from the very beginning.

As a mother of three who experienced three home births, I've seen firsthand the incredible impact neurologically focused chiropractic care can have throughout pregnancy, birth, and childhood. Those experiences, combined with years of caring for families navigating everything from wellness care to more complex neurological challenges, continue to fuel my passion for serving others every day.

Whether I'm caring for a newborn, supporting a mom through pregnancy, or helping a child with developmental, sensory, or neurological challenges, my goal is always the same: to provide compassionate, neurologically focused care that empowers every family to thrive. It is truly an honor to walk alongside families as they discover what's possible through a healthy, well-functioning nervous system.

Dr. Jon Arnold

Chiropractic services focused on spinal health and natural pain relief From an early age, I knew I wanted my life to be about serving others. Growing up in Sebewaing, Michigan, I spent my days fishing, playing sports, and writing music, but it was my family's experience with my father's battle with cancer that forever shaped my perspective on health and purpose. After losing him, I felt God calling me to a life centered on faith, service, and helping others experience hope through natural healthcare.

That calling led me to chiropractic. I was immediately drawn to its hands-on approach and the opportunity to help the body function the way it was designed to by restoring proper nervous system communication. To me, chiropractic is both a science and an art—one that allows me to uncover the root cause of dysfunction and help people unlock their God-given potential for health.

I earned my Bachelor's degree in Human Biology and Doctor of Chiropractic from Logan University in St. Louis, Missouri, and for more than a decade, I've had the privilege of caring for individuals and families through neurologically focused chiropractic care. Every day, I strive to live out the mission God placed on my heart: to Rise, Serve, and Love. Whether I'm caring for a newborn, helping a parent navigate a challenging season, or supporting a family on their wellness journey, it is an incredible honor to walk alongside them and witness the life-changing impact of a healthy, well-functioning nervous system.
