How Can We Help You?
Five Reasons People Consult Our Practice:
Spinal Pain and Problems
Most people associate chiropractic care with headaches, neck and back problems. Our interest in the spine is because it houses the nervous system that carries vital communications between your brain and your body.
Non Chiropractic Complaints
Some consult our practice for “non-back” health problems. Chances are you were referred to us by an existing patient that feels better. We have had success with helping patients with a variety of health issues. From stomach problems, fatigue, insomnia, allergies etc…
Natural Drug Free Health Care
Those who wish to avoid drugs or surgery will often visit our practice first. Chiropractic care is a safe, natural approach to better health.
Maintenance and Prevention
If you’ve had chiropractic care elsewhere, you already know the value of ongoing chiropractic care. We’d be honored to be your Doctor.
Stay Well
We experience life through our nervous system. Those who want to optimize their health, be all that they can be and perform at their best, should give us a call at (678) 445-2746.
Conditions We Have Helped:
ADHD
We do not treat Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder. However, since ADHD appears as a neurological disorder and chiropractic care helps to reduce nervous system disturbances, many parents who want a natural, non-drug solution for their child have found chiropractic care helpful.
Allergies
Chiropractic care doesn’t treat allergies so why do so many people with allergies mention that they see improvement by receiving care in our practice? We use a combination of Chiropractic care, nutritional support and some unique therapies.
Asthma
Chiropractic is not a treatment for asthma. However, many who suffer from asthma report improvement by receiving chiropractic care.
There is research that suggests a link between the spinal column, the nervous system and the respiratory system. This may be why many have mentioned improved breathing by consulting our practice.
Auto Accidents
Whether it was a little incident in the parking lot, or two cars attempting to occupy the same space in an intersection, you need people who know how to work with lawyers and insurance companies.
If you’ve been in a car accident, give us a call. We’ve been through this many times. Not only can we usually offer drug-free care, we can help put this behind you once and for all.
Back Pain
Specific chiropractic adjustments can help improve spinal function. By restoring the way your spine works, discs and soft tissues may heal, nerve involvement may be reduced, pain can ease and better stability can return.
Fibromyalgia / Chronic Fatigue
This condition is one that we have been able to help a lot of people with . Between the different types of Chiropractic treatments, nutritional support and several different types of therapies – we have had really good results.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Chiropractic techniques that work so well with the spine can be applied to other joints of the body. Virtually every joint is susceptible to fixations and malfunctions that impair function and range of motion. Trauma, micro-traumas, vibrations and repetitive motions are often culprits.
Children and Infants
Children are some of the biggest beneficiaries of chiropractic care. Surprised? Those who think of chiropractic as primarily a solution for neck and back problems are surprised to learn that chiropractic can be helpful for many types of childhood health problems.
Colic
If subluxation is present, interfering with the proper function of any part of the body, restoring proper nervous system control often allows the body to heal.
Ear Infections
Our approach is simple. Since chiropractic care isn’t a treatment for infections of any type, when parents bring their child for us to check, we look specifically for distortions in the upper spine. If nerve tension is detected, we gently reduce it with safe and natural chiropractic adjustments. This helps restore nervous system integrity. For a child or infant, this usually requires little more than a light touch with our fingertip at just the right place and direction.
Headaches
A common cause of headaches is from spinal bones in the neck that aren’t supporting the head properly. You might not notice your reduced ability to turn your head. But these subluxations affect nerves, muscles and even the blood supply to your head.
Our thorough examination detects subluxation patterns that could be causing your headaches. If subluxations are present, you’re likely to benefit from chiropractic care.
Neck Pain
Imagine balancing a 12 lb. (5.5 kg.) bowling ball on the tips of your fingers. All day long.
That’s just one of many things your neck must do. Your neck and shoulders work hard. Even the smallest deviation in the relationships of the seven bones of your cervical spine (neck) can cause pain and reduced head and neck mobility.
Pinched Nerve
It’s called a pinched nerve because that’s what it feels like. But there’s a lot more going on!
The 24 moving bones of your spine protect your spinal cord while permitting normal turning and bending. Pairs of nerve roots, one on each side, branch off your spinal cord at each segmental level to service the organs and tissues of your body. When these openings are obstructed, even slightly, your brain can’t properly control and regulate your body. When a spinal bone is mal-positioned, it can encroach upon these important nerve openings. Nerve irritation can result. We call that a subluxation.
PMS
Estimates suggest that up to 90% of women suffer from some form of premenstrual syndrome (PMS) with 10 -20% experiencing severe or disabling symptoms.
If you’re resolved not to give in to menstrual or premenstrual discomfort, and you want a natural solution that avoids drugs, many women turn to chiropractic.
Pregnancy
At first glance, most people don’t see the connection between chiropractic and pregnancy. However, there are four stages in which having an optimally working nervous system can help both mother and child.
Sciatica
Sciatica is a distracting pain that begins in the lower back and extends down one or both legs. It typically worsens with periods of sitting or standing.
The discs between the spinal bones of the lower back are often involved.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is an abnormal sideways curvature of the spine. It begins as a postural distortion and may become a permanent deformity. Allowed to advance, it may interfere with the lungs, heart and many other vital organs.
Slipped Disc
A disc can’t slip. But it can wedge, bulge, protrude and herniate. Chiropractic care may help.
Subluxations
A subluxation is the result of spinal bones with improper motion or position affecting nerve communications between your brain and your body.
Wellness
To visit the doctor when you’re feeling great is something new. Yet, a growing number of people who want to be and do their best are visiting chiropractors on a regular basis.
Whiplash
Even a minor fender bender can produce a whiplash injury. It may take a day or two, or sometimes months for symptoms to appear. Now what?
There are many other issues that we have helped that are not on this list. If you have a question about your particular health issues please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Common Myths
If chiropractic care seems promising, but you have doubts, join the club. Chiropractic is different. And it is this difference that has brought results to millions since 1895 and caused them to rethink the nature of health and the role of chiropractic care in it.
Once and for all, let’s put to rest some of the most common myths:
- Chiropractic isn’t scientific.
- Chiropractors are poorly educated.
- Chiropractors aren’t real doctors.
- Chiropractic adjustments cause stroke.
- Once you go, you have to go for the rest of your life.
- Don’t fix it if it’s not broken.
- My medical doctor wouldn’t approve.
- Chiropractic isn’t appropriate for children.
If these myths were true, chiropractic would have disappeared long ago, just like bloodletting and countless other ineffective procedures. But not only has chiropractic survived, it’s thriving as more and more people want a safe and natural approach to better health that avoids drugs or surgery.
