My Office
I am a chiropractor that specializes in corrective spinal rehabilitation at Better Health by Design in Cumming, GA. A thorough examination allows me to determine whether your spine is healthy or a health risk. An unhealthy spine may contribute to or cause disease, dysfunction, and (or) pain. Unhealthy spinal alignment causes damaging stresses and strains on the spine, discs, and surrounding ligaments, tendons, muscles, nerves, and spinal cord. Stress and strain to the spinal cord and (or) nerves can affect the strength and energy that passes from those nerves to the rest of your body. I have specialized training in scoliosis care and corrective bracing as well as whiplash injury care. My office is extensively equipped to provide you with an individual program catered to your needs and abilities using any combination of specific adjustments, exercises, traction, and therapies to correct and strengthen your spine and posture allowing your body to heal, move, and feel better than you ever have.
