Introducing Southgate Chiropractor Dr. David Silbert
I injured my back while working as a canoe guide in Algonquin Park. I was portaging a canoe when I felt a sharp pain between my shoulder blades that took my breath away. After returning home and having a second episode of sharp pain that came with each breath I consulted a medical doctor. I was told that I needed surgery. My friend convinced me to see his father, a chiropractor. I had never heard of chiropractic before. I saw his dad, he moved my bones, and I got up and felt great! A couple of years later I looked into chiropractic as a career. It was for me! Twenty years later, I look forward to coming to my office everyday.
I attended Wayne State University, then Life Chiropractic College where I earned my D.C. degree. I then attended National Chiropractic College for a post graduate degree in physiological therapeutics. I am also a Diplomate of the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners. I obtained advanced certification from the Spinal Research Institute of San Diego. I am a Diplomat of the American Board of Disability Analysts. I have completed 300 classroom hours to acquire a Diplomate in Chiropractic Rehabilitation. I also provide apprenticeship for medical residents in training programs through Henry Ford Wyandotte Hospital. I have licensure is Michigan, Illinois and Ohio. Some of my memberships include:
- International Society of Clinical Rehabilitation Specialist
- American Academy of Pain Management
- American Chiropractic Association
- Michigan Chiropractic Society
"Being the Best Matters" We continue to succeed where others fell short, whether it’s chiropractic, physical therapy or medication. I work with other health care professionals to provide you with the best possible health care. Rehabilitation, self-care and prevention are emphasized to reduce the potential re-injury or relapse.

Ashley plays soccer and lacrosse. Jake plays hockey, lacrosse, plays the bass in the Oakland Youth Orchestra as well as the bass guitar in the Kid Klez Band of Michigan. My wife enjoys working out.
