The chiropractor at Atlanta Health Connection Chiropractic had years of experience with chiropractic care before deciding to follow this path professionally. During his youth and adolescence he was active in contact sports. During this time he was under chiropractic care and developed a trust in the power of the body to heal itself. Today, Dr. John Vatistis, DC, is the clinical director of Atlanta Health Connection, and also serves as a Sandy Springs chiropractor for patients coming from that town.

Atlanta Health Connection uses chiropractic and spinal adjustments to help patients manage and relieve pain. The clinic serves patients of all ages, from pediatric patients to the geriatric patients. Dr. Vatistis studies new and developing techniques to ensure that he is always well informed and trained on the latest in chiropractic techniques.

After a full consultation and analysis of the patient, the doctor will provide a targeted exercise routine to strengthen areas of the body and to correct the effects of misuse of certain muscle areas. As an example, chronic poor sitting posture can result in neck and shoulder pain. A patient with these symptoms and habits would receive an exercise routine targeted to correct the poor posture and to relieve pain in the affected areas.

Understanding the life style of a patient is necessary to achieving overall health. Working with his patients, the doctor will get to know the life style and identify good and not so good habits. Through this process, patients learn to be the stewards of their own health and how every day habits help or hurt their state of wellness.

With the life style awareness training, patients learn to appreciate that chiropractic care is one piece of their health care, and that their behavior is an equally important part. Making positive changes in their daily habits, empowers patients to take ownership of their own health. The chiropractor is there to help, but patients need to do their part also.

With processed foods you can have plenty to eat but still be nutritionally deprived. The doctor and his clinic include nutritional counseling in the overall care of all patients. If your body is severely deficient in certain vitamins and minerals this will have a strong impact on energy levels, moods and general health. Your care will include individualized nutritional counseling.

The chiropractor uses spinal and posture screenings to evaluate the health of the spine and reveal health information. Each and all of these modalities are effective for chronic conditions and acute conditions resulting from some type of injury. Comprehensive chiropractic care is an important part of your path to wellness.
