Excellent Chiropractic Care For Georgia Residents

You don’t have to live at the chiropractor’s office — and with the right care, you can still live pain-free.


Our chiropractors use evidence-based treatment plans, 3D imaging, and precise diagnostics to track your progress and help you achieve recovery. We don’t believe in simple pain management. For our patients, we believe in healing.

Here's why we're the best chiropractors in Georgia

Our providers combine orthospinology and pain neuroscience education, along with the most cutting-edge technology in chiropractic care, to improve your quality of life.


The word “doctor” stems from the Latin phrase [dɔˈkeːrɛ], which means to teach.


At Georgia Upper Cervical, we teach you about pain neuroscience and how correcting your spinal misalignment can provide long-lasting relief and, ultimately, complete physical recovery.

Our Unique Approach

Better Results In Less Time

We are dedicated to delivering exceptional chiropractic care and always have the best interests of our patients in mind.


Our goal is to correct your spinal misalignment in the fewest office visits and corrections as possible over the course of your lifetime. Most of our patients are on treatment plans for around 90 days, rather than forever.


We accomplish this by utilizing our specific 3-D imaging and diagnostic system. This procedure allows us to focus specifically on your unique misalignment and removes all guesswork, eliminating unnecessary care and costs.

WHAT WE TREAT

We’re not afraid of the difficult cases.

We use orthospinology, also known as upper cervical chiropractic, because it offers a path towards real healing.


Using the latest scientific advancements in chiropractic treatment, our gentle adjustments may help with conditions and issues such as:

What We Treat

These core values drive us.

To love, to know, and to empower

We offer human-centered care to each patient, because you should be more than a number or filename. Each business system and procedure should be designed to empower the patients we see. What every provider and employee at Georgia Upper Cervical does in their personal time should allow us to fulfill this value to our maximum capacity.

Most effective and most efficient.

From cutting-edge treatment to patient education and personal development, we strive to do our best by our patients, business, and ourselves.

Practice what we preach.

We know it’s challenging to receive advice from a healthcare provider who is visibly unhealthy, overworked, and miserable. We don’t tell you to, “Do as I say, not as I do.” Instead, we constantly strive to take care of ourselves through eating nutritious foods, overloading our systems with exercise and weight training, and addressing any mental health concerns during adverse life situations.

[dɔˈkeːrɛ]: to teach.

Teaching you how your body works and how to understand your condition puts you back in the driver seat. Research demonstrates that education alone can reduce patient symptoms and create long-term health benefits. We want you in control, and the proper education does just that. We teach patients in a way that doesn’t instill fear or uncertainty but empowers you to live to your fullest potential.

Integrity and transparency matter.

You’ll never be surprised by hidden fees or “fine print” when you work with a Georgia Upper Cervical chiropractor. From billing to the results we can feasibly produce to what services we offer, we will be transparent and communicate with integrity.

Explore and enjoy your family.

Is your health goal to be able to walk around at Disney for five days? Or to do your favorite hiking trail again? We’ll help you get there! Your treatment and recovery should serve an ultimate goal of exploration and having fun with the people you love, not keep you from them.
