From Ferndale City Hall, the mapped drive is about 5 miles and approximately 13 to 16 minutes outside the busiest traffic. The route stays on familiar Woodward-area streets before connecting to Main Street and Rochester Road.
Getting Here From Ferndale
Leave Ferndale City Hall on East 9 Mile Road and head toward Woodward Avenue. Travel north on Woodward, follow the connection toward South Main Street in Royal Oak, and continue to Rochester Road. The office is at 4203 Rochester Road between 13 Mile and 14 Mile, in a brown building with a pink wall.
Families starting on Ferndale's east side may choose Hilton or another northbound local road before crossing toward Rochester Road. Woodward and downtown Royal Oak traffic can affect the trip, especially around events and commuter hours. A navigation check before leaving will show whether Woodward, Hilton, or I-75 is moving best that day.
For Babies and Kids From Ferndale
A child's appointment is paced around the child, not around an adult adjustment routine. The doctor begins by hearing the parent's observations and learning about the child's history. A hesitant child can watch, ask questions, and stay close to a parent. The examination and contacts are adapted for newborns, toddlers, school-age children, and teens.
Dr. Anna Saylor has a Diplomate in Clinical Chiropractic Pediatrics. Dr. Zach Conner has a special interest in children with sensory, learning, and developmental differences. Koren Specific Technique and Talsky Tonal Chiropractic give the team low-force options for a wide range of comfort levels. Ferndale parents can explore the pediatric chiropractic page and new patient center before the first drive to Royal Oak.

During Pregnancy
Prenatal chiropractic at Van Every is adjusted as the mother's body and comfort change. The doctors can use pregnancy-friendly positions and gentle contacts rather than asking someone to tolerate a position that no longer works. Webster certified care is available with Dr. Zach Conner and addresses pelvic and sacral balance plus surrounding soft tissues in the mother.
Webster care does not involve turning or repositioning a baby. It is one part of a broader prenatal approach that respects the patient's goals and works alongside the care provided by an obstetrician or midwife. The prenatal chiropractic page answers common questions and explains what Ferndale moms can expect during an evaluation at the Royal Oak office.

Gentle Care Without Forceful Cracking
Some Ferndale patients arrive after avoiding chiropractic because they expect a loud or forceful adjustment. KST uses the ArthroStim instrument to apply small, specific impulses, while Talsky Tonal Chiropractic uses gentle finger contacts and evaluates patterns across the NeuroSpinal system. Both methods can be delivered without forceful manual twisting.
INSiGHT nervous-system scans are part of the initial evaluation. The doctor considers those results together with the history and physical examination, then explains whether chiropractic care fits the findings. The patient remains part of the conversation and can state preferences or limits at any point. Visit the techniques page to compare KST, tonal care, and Webster care.

Plan Your Visit From Ferndale
The initial visit takes about an hour. Van Every follows a two-visit intake process, allowing time to complete the evaluation before reviewing findings and recommendations. Forms and an overview are available through the new patient center. Saturday appointments are offered twice each month, and the exact dates should be confirmed when scheduling.
BCBS, MESSA, and BCN are in network at the practice. Van Every is out of network with other insurance companies, and individual coverage still varies within an in-network plan.
