We address back, neck, and joint issues through precise adjustments tailored to individual needs. Patients experience rapid relief and improved mobility through our comprehensive evaluations and targeted treatments.
Functional Nutrition
Functional nutrition services analyze body chemistry to create personalized dietary plans and supplement protocols for chronic illness reversal.

Dr. Pickens has helped me control my migraines and all over pain! I had migraines a few times a week now they are a few tim a year and usually its because i went too long in between adjustments! I had separated my shoulder (ac process) and it was better in about a month! He seriously is a miracle worker! Worth every penny I have spent! Thanks Dr. Pickens!

Dr Pickens and his wife Nancy, nutritionist, have helped me and my family through countless ailments and allergies through the past few decades! We take our babies in, our spouses and kids in-we love them like family! They're quick to respond to emails, and even send birthday cards-you can't go wrong with ABA!

I have been a patient at ABA for several months now and I must say, I haven't felt better in a long time. Doc Pickens is fixing my spine, which didn't seem possible without surgery according to my old chiropractor (who will remain nameless), and my once chronic headaches are gone. Also, Nancy Pickens has been a huge blessing to me because she is very knowledgeable in nutrition and it seems like just about everything else health-related, so she's been helping my husband out significantly with his issues, which is wonderful.
They also sell supplements there so you don't have to trek across town to get what you need. Actually, the whole staff pretty much rocks, so I would definitely tell anyone that wants to improve their overall health with a safe and natural (and EFFECTIVE) approach, to get in there ASAP.

I'm very happy to have found out about Dr. Pickens and I'm hopeful that he will be able to help me eliminate my allergies. He seems to be very knowledgeable. I was seeing a different NAET practitioner in Ann Arbor, but I like that Dr. Pickens is willing to address the worst allergies instead of following the NAET workbook, which treats lesser allergies before it ever gets to the stuff that's really bothering me.
