How is CIHW different?
Start here. We sort out the rest with you.
Health should start with you - not with guessing which specialty to call first.
Most clinics send you to separate offices for hormones, weight, pain, and training. Here, those pieces stay in the same clinic.

What patients say about care here.
Hover to pause. Energy, weight, recovery, sports injury - and a few patients who have been here more than a decade.
Sports MedicineI was teaching fitness and running in pain. I shadowed Dr. Mitchell after he taught continuing education for NASM trainers. I became a patient. So did my son, and most of my clients. Less stiffness in my neck, low back, hip, and knees. I do not take medication of any kind.
Metabolic HealthI have worked with Dr. Mitchell for eight months and I am completely off Celebrex with no back pain. I hit my weight goal and exceeded it by ten pounds. I am the same weight I was my freshman year of college. I feel great.
Sports MedicineDr. Mitchell has helped my family out several times. His honesty and dedication to making his clients feel better is surpassed by none. Dr. Mitchell has always treated his clients like family and that is what keeps us coming back. We trust him.
The InstituteEvery staff member in this office is kind, compassionate, and equally committed to their own good health as they are to those of us who are blessed to have them. I am so grateful for this team of true professionals.
Metabolic HealthGreat place. My back has never felt better and I'm down 15 pounds thanks to Dr. Mitchell's detox plan. I definitely recommend this office to everyone.
Metabolic HealthI walk by the office five or six days a week. In January there was a massage special. They asked if I wanted to see Dr. Mitchell as well. Best decision ever. Lower back pain was radiating down my legs. I was taking pills to sleep. After a couple of visits I started the detox program. I lost 11 pounds in a month and I am no longer taking pain pills to sleep. The health coaches taught me the scale is not the only scoreboard. Don't wait.

Sports MedicineDr. Mitchell listens to every concern and answers every one. I came in with shoulder weakness and he resolved it the first visit. I am now on a plan to ensure full recovery. I am 100 percent satisfied with him and his staff.
The InstituteAfter back surgery and Lyme I could not pick up a coffee cup without joint pain. Three months of antibiotics destroyed me from the inside. I lost 40 pounds here. I went from someone who could not walk without pain to karate, rock climbing, and weight training. They took the guesswork out. It felt like I got accepted into a new family.
Metabolic HealthWhen I began I was tired and unmotivated, with severe back pain and headaches to the point I could not get out of bed. Today I am over 30 pounds lighter. The headaches and back pain are a thing of the past. This is not a fad diet. This is a lifestyle change. The results are real.
Sports MedicineI have been a patient for over a decade. I arrived with chronic back and leg pain. Walking made it worse. Through regular adjustments and massage I continue to be symptom-free. At 73 I walk three miles four to six times a week, I am self-employed, and the wear and tear of age has minimal impact on a very active life.
Metabolic HealthBefore I saw Dr. Mitchell, I wasn't myself. I had mental and physical fatigue, aches and pains, and was being treated for sleep apnea. When I started seeing him and went through my detox, after about two months my mental clarity came back, I lost 20 pounds, and my sleep apnea machine is gone. I haven't used it since.

On camera
Hear it in their words.
Short patient stories filmed at the institute - the same honesty that shows up in the reviews above.
The clinic
Hormones, rehab, and training in the same clinic.
You do not need separate offices for how you feel, how you move, and how you train.
Questions
Before you call.
A long-form history, a physical and functional exam when relevant, and a lab strategy that matches your goals. Call the office to get started.
Yes. Men's testosterone therapy and women's hormone replacement are core services here. Dosing follows labs and follow-up.
Often, yes, when it is clinically appropriate. Low testosterone, menopause, insulin resistance, and body composition travel together. Combining GLP-1 therapy with hormone optimization and resistance training is how we protect muscle while the scale moves.
Coverage varies by plan and by service. Some sports-medicine and rehab care may be billable; many regenerative, aesthetic, and cash-pay programs are not. We will be direct about cost before you start. Call (224) 535-8707 and we will walk through options.
