Two doctors, one idea
That you are probably going to live longer than you planned for, and your body needs to be able to take you there.
Most chiropractic practices treat the episode in front of them. This one was built around a longer question: if you are going to live to ninety or a hundred, what has to still be working when you get there? That question is the reason care here is planned in decades rather than visits.
Dr. Becca Shaw, DC
Dr. Becca Shaw founded the practice in Kennesaw in 2015 after a decade in multidisciplinary clinics, and has 16 years in practice. Her work centers on neck and back pain, disc problems and sciatica, headaches, and prenatal and family care.
She is known for unhurried first visits: a full history, a thorough examination and a written plan that says what she found, what she recommends and how long it should take.
Dr. Sam Ebberlein, DC
Dr. Sam Ebberlein joined the practice in 2019 and has nine years of experience in sports and performance care. A former collegiate distance runner, he combines adjustments with soft-tissue work, movement screening and a short, specific exercise plan.
He works primarily with runners, youth and high school athletes and active adults. Having been the athlete carrying an injury into a season, he tends to ask what you are training for before he asks where it hurts.
How we think about the body
The working premise is that the body regulates and repairs itself continuously, and that this depends on clear communication through the nervous system. Injury, accumulated stress and postural load interfere with that communication. Care is aimed at removing the interference rather than masking the signal it produces.
In practice that means we are as interested in what has changed as in what hurts — the desk that got worse, the sport that stopped, the sleep that shortened. Pain is the last symptom to arrive and the first to leave, which is why it is a poor sole measure of progress.
Three kinds of patient
Most people who walk in here are on one of three journeys, and the plan looks different for each.
- Athletes and active adults getting back to a sport, and staying in it
- Active retirees protecting independence, balance and the ability to keep doing things unaided
- Families choosing conservative care first, including from birth
Dr. Becca Shaw or Dr. Sam Ebberlein. Dr. Shaw sees most spine, disc and family patients; Dr. Ebberlein sees most athletes and sports injuries. You are told which doctor you are booked with when you book, not when you arrive.
Around your goals for the decades ahead, not just the current episode. Every plan starts with an examination, has written checkpoints, and visit frequency drops as your function improves.
Yes, from birth. Pediatric technique is a different discipline from adult adjusting, with force measured in ounces rather than pounds.
