What is Chiropractic?
"The nervous system/brain regulates our health by delivering information through a network of nerve pathways to every organ, tissue and cell in the body. Every bodily function is given function by this nervous system and can lose that function and health over time if the nervous system isn’t healthy. The greatest contributor to a healthy nervous system is alignment and motion of the spine which the nervous system resides within and travels out of. Chiropractic is the art, science, and philosophy of identifying root causes of interference or change to the spine which directly and/or indirectly alters/limits/suppresses the nervous systems ability to keep the body healthy. Correcting the interference with safe and effective Chiropractic techniques/adjustments which ultimately allows the restoration of balance and a state of healing to occur.

Dr. Dan Shaw, B.S., D.C.
Chiropractor
At the age of 22, Dr. Dan herniated his L5/S1 disc in his low back playing rugby in college. He was at the point he couldn't walk unassisted anymore and was losing motor function in his left leg. After being prescribed multiple medications and pursuing treatments of physical therapy, he was recommended spinal surgery after no progression over several months of care.
With limited options and the intuitive gut feeling of not wanting surgery, he fell into a Chiropractic office that changed and saved his life. He had no idea what Chiropractic was, but it rapidly changed his health in weeks to what no other medicine or doctor could do in half a year. He was at the point he couldn’t walk unassisted anymore
to suddenly in four weeks he was 80% better and off crutches/wheelchair.
He went to Chiropractic school the following year and worked part time
at an office before he went to Life University. He found
truth in the miraculous capabilities of the body to heal with the
assistance of Chiropractic, and he wanted to help people the way he was
helped. ​
After graduating from Chiropractic school in 2018, Dr. Dan practiced in the Cincinnati area where he met his wife, Ava. They moved to Georgia for her to pursue a Chiropractic education through Life University as well and Ava will graduate this summer. Together with their 3 dogs, they have moved back to the area and we are excited for Dr. Dan to join our team to help our community!
