Do you accept insurance?

How does mobile chiropractic care work?

Care is provided by appointment only at your home, gym, or work space within the Metro-Atlanta area. All necessary equipment is brought to you, and you’ll receive clear instructions ahead of time to ensure your visit runs smoothly.

Mobile care offers the same professionalism and clinical attention as an in-office visit — with the added convenience of staying in your own environment.
