Most of my problems/pain are related to Lyme Disease. But, new issues came up and, for a couple months, I could not stand straight and could barely move without being in terrible pain. Dr. Ryan was honest and said he didn't know how much he would be able to help me, due to the Lyme Disease but, he would do as much as possible. After the first adjustment, I walked out standing straight and the (newest) pains had greatly diminished. By the next day, I felt like a new person. For the last several years, my hands go completely numb within 5 minutes of driving. After the second treatment, I drove all the way to Mississippi/New Orleans and back (Tate, Georgia - 1200 miles round trip) with very minor numbness, really not even enough to mention. I'm very thankful to have found Dr. Ryan.

I have had a great experience with Dr. Ryan and team. The practice is nice and the staff is accommodating. I went in as a post neck surgery patient who had exhausted every option at tackling chronic neck pain. I’m happy with the service that I have received, as Dr. Ryan has taught me that it’s a whole scale picture of health that we achieve by bringing our bodies into alignment. I will continue to come here again and again!

I have suffered with debilitating headaches for several years and sought out traditional chiropractic care only to find temporary relief until a family member told me about Dr Klopfer. After only 3 visits I was so much better and now continue to see him on a regular basis to maintain being pain free!! Please do whatever is necessary to schedule a visit. You’ll be so happy you did!!

After six months, I can finally say “I feel good” ! While out of town RV’ing, I woke one morning with intense pain in my neck and shoulder. A trip to an urgent care physician and two conventional chiropractors offered me little relief and we cut our vacation short and returned home. I made the decision to see an orthopedic doctor who prescribed physical therapy. Even with the PT, rest and lifestyle and diet changes that I made I was better but still not close to being back to my old self. This the point that I decided to make an appointment with Dr Ryan. The warm welcome provided by Stephanie and the treatment that I received at Ball Ground Upper Cervical made all the difference in my well being. By trusting in Dr Ryan, following doctor’s orders between visits, common sense, positive expectations, I now have my life back.

Dr. Ryan Klopfer and Team are incredible. I recently had knee replacement surgery and found out I had a leg length discrepancy, made worsen by a life time of scoliosis. Dr. Klopfer has vastly improved my quality of life and eliminated my pain and suffering. At the age of 55, I no longer feel like I am 85 years old. I highly recommend Dr. Klopfer's approach, method of treatment and care. A big THANK YOU.

My wife and I were referred to BGUCC by a friend who is a retired chiropractic professor. Dr. Ryan took a lot of time with initial evaluations, xrays, measurements, and discussion of diagnosis and plan of treatment. The reason for each treatment was clearly explained by Dr. Ryan. The office atmosphere is very relaxed and friendly; a large part of which is due to Stephanie the office manager. I promise you will be surprised at the positive difference you will experience.

I love BGUCC! I fell pretty hard about 2 months ago. I knew I had knocked something out of whack, but it didn’t really hurt that bad so I didn’t see Dr Ryan to check it out. Fast forward to about a month ago and I started having horrible pain that kept me up most of the night every single night. But I didn’t in any way associate this type of pain with my fall. I saw a couple doctors, trying to figure out what was wrong. I finally gave in to the idea that maybe it was pain from my fall, and decided to have Dr Ryan check my alignment. I was out of alignment, go figure. With my adjustment yesterday, I slept better than I had in a month, and my pain is almost completely gone. Dr Ryan listens to me and all my complaints, even if they probably aren’t caused by a misalignment, and Stephanie always makes me feel like I am her favorite person. They always find a way to get me seen asap, even with my long drive (41 miles) and crazy work schedule. Highly, highly recommend BGUCC

I have been seeing Dr. Ryan for about 3 months now and I am completely pain free for the first time in several years. The adjustment process was so gentle and easy. I started getting relief within an hour after my first adjustment and within 24 hours I felt like a new person. Before Dr. Ryan I had been receiving manual adjustments for several years a few times a week and only getting a tiny bit of relief that only lasted a few hours. I had come to believe that I was going to be in pain permanently. I am so excited to be pain free after so many years and thankful to have found this practice. Also the receptionist Stephanie is wonderful, informative and makes you feel so welcome. You can tell Dr. Ryan truly cares about his patients well-being and is extremely educated in his field. I highly recommend this practice to everyone!

I have Dr. Ryan to thank for my being able to enjoy my life. In 2020 I struggled with pain, and at one point was laid up for 6 weeks straight from neck, back, and hip pain. Being in my early 30s I pretty much accepted defeat for being able to enjoy my life. Dr. Ryan came highly recommended, and it's the best money I've ever spent for my physical health. Now I'm able to get up and do light to moderate work on my little farm again. I can pick up my (almost) 3 year old niece, and play with her with very little limitations. I'm no longer worried about a small slip, or misstep throwing me out of commission for weeks. It's freeing knowing that I can live my life again and in the event I do tweak myself, they're able to get me back in alignment quickly! I'll add, you won't meet a more friendly assistant than Stephanie!

The environment here is so warm and welcoming! I have been so happy with how patient and kind Stephanie always is either over the phone or in the office. I really appreciate Dr. Ryan being so thorough and informative in his assessment and care plan. It showed how dedicated he is to what he does and made me feel at ease having everything that was happening explained and knowing I was receiving quality care and guidance in a such comforting setting. I am already feeling such a positive difference after my first (very gentle) adjustment. I’d absolutely recommend the kind and quality care at BGUCC to anyone I know!

Dr Ryan is precise and knowledgable and works quickly and efficiently. It took me a long time to find an upper cervical dr that their adjustments wouldnt send me into pain. I went to a Dr in Fl for years and found it sad that I couldnt find someone in the morth Ga area...then my husband heard of Dr Ryan. He had greatcresukts, so I finally tried him and was pleasantly surprised! He has a great receptionist and they work with me if I need to get in. I highly recommend Ball Ground Upper Cervical!
I came with occular migraines and back pain and much has been helped.I LOVE the relaxation chairs in back with weighted blanket and noise cancelling headsets..Its a real treat!

I have been a chiropractic patient for many years, but have never received the results that I have experienced with Dr Ryan. The upper cervical technique is gentle, comfortable & almost miraculously effective. How could adjusting only one joint at the top of your spine align your entire body. Amazing.

I went to BGUCC after seeing multiple chiropractors for severe pain related to a herniated disc. Not only did I feel relief and gain mobility immediately after treatment, the team was quick to accommodate my schedule, treatment plan and get me back on the road to recovery. This is not your average chiro!

I found Dr Ryan at Upper Cervical Chiropractic in Ballground through neighbors who were patients of his. I was thrilled to learn that this type of Chiropractic service was available in our area so I scheduled my first appointment and have been going ever since.
This is an amazing type of treatment! This office also has spinal decompression treatment and the "relaxation room with the massage chair" available as well. The spinal decompression has been an important part of my treatment plan and I am having great results.
Dr. Ryan and his staff are very personable, professional and knowledgeable. He definitely knows health and this specialty.
I highly recommend this office if you are looking for excellent Chiropractic care with a twist (no pun intended)! You definitely will be glad you went.

I came in after suffering 3 months of sciatic pain in my left leg Dr Ryan assessed me with x-rays and let me know what he thought he could do for me and within 4 weeks I'm feeling so much better knowing that I'm going to be fully healed within just a couple more weeks. The staff and Dr Ryan are very welcoming and make you feel like part of the family when you're there with them I would recommend them to anyone who's been suffering with pain.

HEALER. After 40 years of struggling with neck pain that had only worsened with time, I can finally say that I have found the relief I've been longing for. In just one appointment, I experienced immediate relief, and now, months later, the pain has subsided, giving me a renewed sense of hope. Dr. Ryan and his team are true professionals, exuding patience and an exceptional depth of knowledge in their field. Their practice is evidently centered around prioritizing the comfort of their patients. I am profoundly grateful to have stumbled upon this practice in North Georgia.

Dr. Ryan Klopfer, DC, MS
Upper Cervical Chiropractic:
An Effective 5-Step Approach to Help You Feel Your Best!
1. Schedule a Risk Free Consultation
A consultation is a 30 minute one on one conversation with the doctor. It is a chance for us to determine if your condition is treatable by our methods and to determine if we need to refer out to another specialist.
2. We Measure Your Misalignment
If we accept your case, we begin our examinations and analysis. We utilize pre and post 3-D Digital X-Ray technology to not only determine the size and complexity of your spinal misalignment but to confirm that we have improved structural integrity after the corrective procedure.
3. Your Treatment Protocol
The Goal: Calm it down. Build it back up.
Our treatment plan on average ends up being 6 to 10 visits over ~3 months.The better you respond, the more aggresive we are on spacing out the visit intervals.
4. Experience Symptom Relief
A majority of our patients experience symptomatic relief after the first spinal correction procedure. As the symptoms begin to calm down and we are then able to build the body back up.
5. Maintenance or Self Management
We do believe in maintenance care and do promote it to our patients. However, our frequency of maintenance is far less frequent than what you think. Our goal is to shoot for a spinal hygiene check once every 3 months.
If you are uninterested in a more routine maintenance protocol you are welcome to move into self managmeent. Part of our education during the treatment protocol is to equip you with the strategies to manage your own injuries and not need to rely on us.
