Chiropractic is one of the most amazing healthcare professions, but very few people understand what it's all about. This article is here to help you gain a basic understanding of how our Athens chiropractors can help you and your family. Chiropractic care is the practice of using spinal alignment to alleviate a wide variety of physical ailments, including muscle strain, neck pain, chronic back pain, and more. This is accomplished by adjusting the position of the spinal column to its proper shape, providing a non-invasive solution for pain relief.

Neurofeedback therapy, in simple terms, is a non-invasive way of training brainwaves to stay within normal patterns. With a qualitative electroencephalograph (QEEG), aka - brain mapping, abnormalities in a patient's brainwaves can be detected. With this information we can then create custom brain training protocols and use the process of neurofeedback therapy to help realign or retrain these frequency signals. Through this, specific regions of the brain can be retrained, allowing each one to work together so that the brain can function at its best.
Being healthy entails more than just exercising and eating nutritious foods. It is living and maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Proper nutrition and diet promote normal growth and aging while maintaining a healthy body weight. It is the best way to improve cardiovascular health and lower the risk of chronic disease, all of which contribute to overall health and well-being.

The kids have been seeing Dr. Kris for a couple years now. Our kids play sports and have ran into alignment issues that he's been able to correct. He's always went above and beyond to make sure we get taken care of, even in off hours if the kids need him. I recently started having some back issues and feel great after seeing him regularly for adjustments. He's always super friendly and caring. His staff is always friendly and helpful as well.

I've been going to ChiropracticWorks for almost 4 years now. Could not ask for a doc and his staff to be any kinder, more caring, or professional than this office. I have never felt better in my life! Chiropractics is one of the best ways to boost your immunity, too. Do your body a favor and call Dr. Kris's office. They really treat you like family!

Chiropractic Works is a great place with a great & very professional group of people. I've been having neck and back pain for years and no matter what I tried it never felt any different. I've had 2 sessions with Dr. Kris and I can already feel a change in my posture and overall I feel much better. I highly recommend Chiropractic Works if your having problems with pain. Thanks Dr. Kris and Crew

Dr Kris has helped me with my back issues for 5 years now, he focuses on quality of life & healthy lifestyle! Some friends referred me to Dr Kris & I'm so grateful they did, I've been to chiropractors before but none as thorough as Dr Kris The office is very friendly & accommodating, Without our health we have nothing, gotta take care of ourselves so we can grow old & still enjoy life!

Dr. Kris has been taking care of me and my family for 17 years. He does an excellent job and truly cares about his patients getting healthy and mobile. He has also helped many of my wrestlers get back on the wrestling mat quicker than normal with his great techniques. I could tell you many stories about the times I have sent friends to see him when they thought their only option left was surgery! He's very honest and caring. His front desk staff is also very friendly and helpful! keep up the great job!

Dr. Kris has done wonders for my daughter as a athlete. With out her weekly adjustments I can't imagine what her body would feel like. He has also gotten the rest of the family feeling great with weekly adjustments. He has great office hours for working families and goes above and beyond his hours when needed. Not to mention his office staff is outstanding!

Chiropractic Works and Dr. Kris are wonderful! Dr. Kris has kept me agile, flexible, and feeling young. I can get down on the floor, up on the slide, and anything else with my grandkids. His staff are always friendly and extremely helpful too. I highly recommend Chiropractic Works to all my friends and acquaintances. Everyone can benefit from a strong and healthy spine!

I had developed chronic shoulder pain for a year that would not go away and was even making my arm go numb! I didn't think of trying chiropractics until I was suffering so bad I would've tried anything. After three visits with Dr. Cook, the pain was completely gone. All my mobility was restored. I wish I had known sooner that the spinal adjustments could do that for my shoulder! I highly recommend Chiropractic Works, even when you think your issue can't be solved by chiropractic care. I wish I had gone sooner and saved myself a year of pain!
