Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Micah Bonola.
Hi Dr. Micah, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers?
I grew up in the DFW area and attended Baylor University, where I pursued the pre-med track. While in school, I began shadowing various healthcare providers, including a chiropractor who had played a tremendous role in helping my mother. I later learned that my mom had been in a car accident when I was a child and had lost sensation in her fingertips. She was initially diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and, after seeking a second opinion, was told she had a pinched nerve that required spinal surgery. A friend referred her to a chiropractor, and after beginning care, her symptoms steadily improved and eventually resolved completely.
As I learned more, I also discovered that several other family members had experienced significant improvements through chiropractic care—one child’s colic resolved after a difficult birth, another family member regained full shoulder mobility, and another found relief from rib issues that had been contributing to anxiety. Seeing these outcomes firsthand solidified my interest in chiropractic care.
After hearing my mother’s story and witnessing these additional experiences, I decided to shadow the chiropractor who had helped her. I was deeply impacted by the patient stories I heard in his office and amazed by how spinal adjustments could support the nervous system and allow the body to function as it was designed to. That experience ultimately led me to enroll in chiropractic school.
I attended Parker University in Dallas and went on to practice in a variety of settings in Denver and throughout the DFW area. During that time, I gained experience in multiple areas of chiropractic care, including brain injury cases, auto accident recovery, curve correction, prenatal, pediatric, and family chiropractic care.
In April 2021, I opened my own practice in Grapevine, Texas, called Arise Health Chiropractic. My practice focuses on prenatal and postnatal care, pediatric chiropractic, lip-tie and tongue-tie revision support, and family care. I have truly loved being in practice and am grateful for the opportunity to serve the families who walk through my doors each day.
Alright, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
One of the biggest challenges can be wanting to start a business or practice but not knowing when or how to begin. Opening a business isn’t easy, yet deep down I always knew it was something I was meant to do. Even while I was in school, I found myself writing down ideas—dreaming about what my practice would look like and the patients I hoped to serve.
When the timing was right, the opportunity presented itself, and I took the leap into entrepreneurship. I’m so grateful that I did!
If something has been placed on your heart, I encourage you to begin. Take the leap! It’s worth the jump, and you truly have what it takes.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Arise Health Chiropractic serves prenatal, pediatric, and family patients in Grapevine and the surrounding communities.
The office provides chiropractic care for prenatal and postnatal mothers using Webster’s Technique to support proper spinal and pelvic alignment while preparing for birth. Postnatal care focuses on restoring balance, promoting healing, and supporting the spine as the body recovers from pregnancy and delivery.
Pediatric care includes gentle adjustments for newborns to help support nervous system balance after birth, as well as ongoing care as children reach important developmental milestones during their early years of rapid neurodevelopment. Pre- and post–lip and tongue-tie support is also offered through chiropractic adjustments and craniosacral work.
In addition, Arise Health Chiropractic serves families of all ages by providing regular spinal care for athletes, individuals recovering from car accidents, and those seeking wellness or maintenance care.
Do you any memories from childhood that you can share with us?
I’ve always cherished time spent in the mountains with my family—soaking in the fresh air, exploring new trails, and creating unforgettable memories while skiing together.
