Upper Cervical Chiropractic

Patients love
Driving to Ball Ground

Dr. Ryan has more than 10 years of clinical experience. He combines Chiropractic Orthospinology, modern pain neuroscience and therapeutic strength training to help you feel like yourself again.

As much as we love our patients, you won’t be told to come in 3 times a week for months. Most patients average 6 to 10 visits over 90 days.

That’s why patients make the 30 minute drive: for care built on precision, clarity and results that last.

Questions Patients Ask Before Their First Visit

Choosing a new chiropractor is a big decision, especially one 30 minutes from home. Here are straight answers to what we hear most.

Upper cervical care focuses on the top two bones of your neck, the atlas and axis. They sit right next to the brainstem, and a misalignment there can affect posture, nerve function and how your body handles pain.

Dr. Ryan uses Chiropractic Orthospinology, a precise, gentle method based on detailed imaging and measurements, so each adjustment is planned for your spine.

No. Orthospinology adjustments are gentle and low-force, with no twisting, popping or cracking. Most patients barely feel them.

It isn’t right for everyone, which is why we start with an exam instead of a sales pitch. Many of our patients come to us after years of headaches, migraines, vertigo, neck pain or post-concussion symptoms with no lasting relief elsewhere.

At your free consultation, Dr. Ryan will tell you honestly whether he thinks he can help.

Most patients need roughly 6 to 10 visits over 90 days, not three times a week for months. Your care plan is built around your exam results and goals, and the aim is to get you functioning well and independent, not dependent on us.

With so few visits, the drive adds up to far less time than most care plans closer to home. Hundreds of patients from Cumming, Alpharetta and across North Georgia make the trip for precise care and results that last.

Your first visit is free. If you’re a good fit, we’ll give you a clear plan with the exact cost before you commit to anything, with no surprise bills.

You’ll spend 30 to 45 minutes with Dr. Ryan, talk through your history and goals, and get a complete spinal exam. You’ll leave knowing what’s likely going on and what your options are.

Monday, Tuesday and Thursday 9 am–5 pm, and Friday 9 am–12:30 pm. We’re closed Wednesdays and weekends.

Dr. Ryan and Erica are a great team that provide an awesome chiropractic experience. The techniques he uses are advanced compared to a regular chiropractor. You actually see how much you are aligned (or misaligned). To get the care you need I would highly recommend a visit to Ball Ground Upper Cervical Chiropractic.

Proud to call this my upper cervical home! Had more symptoms than I could count and a not so wonderful outlook and attitude about my condition. That was changed by Dr.Ryan and Erika! If you need relief and a new start, give these folks a try, you won’t regret it!💜

My vertigo was dramatically reduced after the first visit. I'm very happy with the help I received from Dr Ryan and Erica. Extremely knowledgeable and helpful regarding vertigo and a healthy spine.

Dr. Ryan and Erica are wonderful! They are very kind and they LISTEN to you. The wear and tear from running and other activities have finally caught up with me as I've gotten older, and the neck and back pains are not going away on their own anymore. It takes a little while, but the treatments are definitely helping. I'm feeling better and have become more aware of how I need to be moving. Dr. Ryan strongly encourages an active lifestyle, so he's never made me feel like I'm too old to keep doing the things I enjoy. I just need to modify them to suit whatever my body can handle now. I firmly believe that medication should be the last resort, so I'm glad I'm getting relief without it.

Was unable to walk without cane or walker since February 2026. Today I am walking without either. Best results I have ever had. Great people working there.

Dr. Ryan Klopfer is an excellent doctor of spinology. After my first visit with him I was confident he could help me. I would recommend Dr. Klopfer to anyone.
