What causes Vertebral Disc Injuries?
Demystifying Disc Dysfunction: Understanding the Source of Your Back Pain
Imagine your spinal discs as the shock absorbers between your vertebrae. When these discs weaken or tear, the soft center can bulge or herniate, pressing on nearby nerves. This "disc dysfunction" can cause a cascade of issues, including shooting pain, radiating numbness, and weakness in your legs and feet. Early diagnosis and treatment are key to preventing further damage and getting you back to exploring Ellijay's trails pain-free.

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!

The first time Dr Ryan adjusted me I felt relief. I wasn't able to sit in my car ten minutes without having pain. After the adjustment I rode to Alabama and Florida without pain. Thank you so much.

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.

Before visiting Dr. Ryan I was incredibly skeptical of his services. After years of neck and shoulder pain that caused a myriad of muscular and nerve issues throughout my body I was seeking relief that would actually last. Massage therapy, prescription medication, trigger point injections, and another chiropractor had all failed to provide the results I so desperately desired. Dr. Ryan examined my issues by taking measurements and analyzing x-rays in several different positions to accurately determine where my misalignment was located and how best to treat it. He took the time to assess my situation and determine if he could help. This is not your typical walk in crack some spots and hope for relief chiropractor. The treatment you receive is unique to your body and measurements. Dr. Ryan takes the time to explain how all the different systems of the body work together and to provide education about physical and mental wellness. Honestly the level of care I received is unmatched. Erica at the front desk is truly remarkable, Dr. Ryan has a tremendous personality and the skills to back it up. There truly aren’t words to express how grateful I am for his services. My body no longer aches, I am able to enjoy my active lifestyle, and my friends and family are in disbelief at how terrific I feel. I highly encourage anyone experiencing skeletal, neurological, or muscular pain to visit Dr. Ryan and get the relief you absolutely deserve.

Always a great experience. From the time that you walk through the door, see Dr. Ryan, relax in the relaxation room for a half hour and make your next appointment.
Dr Ryan is very knowledgeable and an expert at finding the adjustment that will relieve the pain.
I have refered family to Dr Ryan and they also are very pleased with the results from treatment from Dr Ryan.

Dr. Ryan's stands behind philosophy that body can heal itself and that less is more. He is very knowledgeable, kind and supportive.
I had car accident while pregnant many years ago and my neck issues were never fully addressed, which caused other skeletal issues over years, though I am very athletic and active. I went to many different chiropractors over years, but my body did not want to be adjusted with popping and cracking any more. I started looking for upper cervical chiropractor on my own, by my own intuition guiding me ... and then friend shared her story of her amazing healing with Doctor Ryan. My body is healing, and I feel better than in many years. Many thanks Dr. Ryan!

Dr. Ryan and Corey 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.

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.

I’ve been visiting Dr. Ryan Klopfer’s office for a few months now and am happy to report that not only have I experienced noticeably less aches and pains, I’m sleeping so much better at night. The team here at Georgia Upper Cervical puts you first. They are sincerely trying to get you back to your best self and actively look to limit the number of visits needed. This is unlike any other chiro I’ve ever visited. In the past, my previous chiropractors tried to get me to come in 2-3 times a week. Once everything is stable, Dr. Klopfer aims for me to come in quarterly which is great. Highly recommend!!

Dr. Ryan's brand of chiropractic care is unlike any I've ever experienced. After he got my initial issue corrected several years ago, he has kept me aligned and pain free with a very minimal maintenance regimen. He is an excellent Chiropractor; I would recommend him to anyone who wants the best solution to their problem in the shortest amount of time.

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.
