Recognized

PFCS
Hall
of Fame.

Two decades treating elite athletes. Inducted in 2024, recognition for the work itself and the next generation of practitioners shaped along the way.

"It's not about individual excellence. It's about the legacy of sports chiropractic and the athletes who rely on expert care."

The Pickleball Medicine Program

The Southeast’s first comprehensive pickleball program.

Pickleball injuries aren’t episodes. A pickleball elbow today is a rotator cuff in six months without an underlying program. Four pillars, every age, every level. Recreational, tournament, junior, master.

01

Assessment

60-minute movement screen built for pickleball players. What’s drifting and what will break next.

02

Treatment

Pro-team caliber care, scaled. ART, Graston, manipulation, ARP Wave, Erchonia laser, decompression.

03

Prevention

The drift that hasn’t become an injury yet. Targeted hip, calf, rotator cuff, and change-of-direction work.

04

Return-to-play

Most return-to-play decisions are guessed. Ours are tested. We don’t discharge you until you can play your normal volume.

Inside the practice

Built like a sports facility.

A real rehab gym. A real decompression table. A real waiting room. 4325 South Lee Street, Buford. Walk in and the equipment is the first thing you see.

What we treat

If your body hurts, we treat it.

Whether you're an Olympic athlete or a Buford schoolteacher, the protocol is the same: figure out what's actually wrong, give an honest timeline, get you back to your life.

Common questions

Answers, up front.

Do you take insurance?

No. Insurance reimbursement controls how much time a clinic can spend on you and which treatments get approved. We don't think that's how care should be decided. We're cash-pay so we can run 60-minute new-patient evaluations and build treatment plans around what your case actually needs. We accept HSA, FSA, all major credit cards, and cash. Every visit comes with an itemized superbill you can submit for out-of-network reimbursement on your own. Many PPO plans reimburse 40 to 80 percent of out-of-network chiropractic costs depending on the plan.

What conditions do you treat besides sports injuries?

We treat low-back pain, sciatica, herniated and bulging discs, whiplash, neck pain, plantar fasciitis, IT band syndrome, rotator cuff issues, tennis elbow, pregnancy-related back and pelvic pain, and pediatric postural issues. About 60% of our patients are athletes. The other 40% are everyone else who happens to want the same caliber of care.

How is sports chiropractic different from regular chiropractic?

Sports chiropractic focuses on getting you back to your activity, not just reducing pain. The treatment plan accounts for the demands of your sport, the load on the affected area, and a realistic timeline back to full intensity. Dr. Joe is the current Atlanta Dream team chiropractor and spent 13 seasons with the Atlanta Falcons. The approach he uses on a quarterback is the same one he uses on a Peachtree Road Race runner or someone trying to get back on the pickleball court.

Will spinal decompression help my herniated disc?

Spinal decompression is a non-surgical option for many herniated and bulging disc cases, especially when conservative care has failed and surgery has been recommended. After reviewing your MRI and history, Dr. Joe will tell you honestly whether you are a candidate. About 30% of decompression inquiries we get are not a fit, and we will say so.

Do you see kids and pregnant patients?

Yes. Dr. Corie Terwilliger is Webster-certified for prenatal chiropractic and treats pediatric patients. Pregnancy-related low-back and pelvic pain, postural issues in growing kids, and post-injury recovery for youth athletes are routine in our practice.
