We want to make sure our office is a good fit for you. We offer a complimentary consultation to help you understand how a chiropractic adjustment may help you.
During your complimentary consultation, we will also cover your health history and answer any questions you may have. If it is clear that you're a good candidate for our care, we will set up a time to do your xrays.
Exam and Xrays
We will then do a new patient exam and take a series of x-rays. We use these to determine how to correct your specific misalignment, also known as a subluxation. They also help us to understand how your body has responded to being out of alignment over time...and most importantly how to correct your misalignment.
Report of Findings and New Patient Orientation
After we have reviewed and analyzed your x-ray images, we will go over the findings with you. This will allow you to see the misalignment and understand how it is impacting your health. We will then go over how we will go about correcting the problem and recommend a care plan that will work for you.
Chiropractic Adjustment
Next, it will be time for your first chiropractic adjustment. Our gentle and precise technique involves no twisting or popping of the neck. As your trusted chiropractor in Roswell GA, we want you to know that it’s not the adjustment that helps you heal, it’s when your body holds its correction that you heal the most. Holding is healing!
After your adjustment, we may have you rest for a few minutes to allow your body to balance and adapt. We will then schedule your next visit so we can make sure your body is in alignment and on the path to healing.
Ongoing Monitoring/Update
Consistent visits and following care recommendations will help retrain your spine. This retraining process will help your body to stabilize and create a more permanent change.
The doctors use very specific chiropractic adjustments to slow your spinal degeneration and improve nerve function. This helps to build a healthy body and immune system. The goal of our office is to help the patient to function at an optimal level and to maximize their overall health and quality of life.
Additional Services
Individuals diagnosed with ADHD can and will benefit greatly with principled, traditional 3-Dimensial Chiropractic care that we provide in this very office. ADHD, also known as Attention-Deficit / Hyperactivity Disorder, is a very common neurodevelopmental disorder that affects individuals in their youth and adulthood. This diagnosis can lead to slower development of the prefrontal cortex along with smaller cerebellum, hippocampus, and amygdala. Chiropractic care, especially given in this office, will allow pressure on the brainstem, what we call a “subluxation”, to be removed and allow for the body to begin to work and function at 100%. Chiropractic care can provide ease of hyperactivity, decreases the impulsive urges and difficulty focusing. Our goal at Fish Family Chiropractic is for everyone’s nervous system to run fluently, without any snags or bumps in the road, because your body deserves the absolute best.
No one wants to be in pain. Whether it’s for 5 minutes or for months at a time, this is no way to live. If you’re not experiencing pain, we know that in order to be living your optimum life there has to be absolutely no interference throughout the body. There are over 7 trillion nerves in an adult’s body and less that 10% of those nerves feel, sense and report pain, so on average, there are thousands of issues that arise in an individual’s body without them even knowing. Our job, at Fish Family Chiropractic, is to unlock your ultimate potential, removing all unknown and unrealized possible issues that could be very problematic in the long run. We know that your potential is endless, and we refuse to let your body get in the way of you doing incredible things.

Whether you’re preparing for a big game, recovering after a tough practice, or simply wanting to stay at the top of your game, adjustments can make a measurable difference in your overall health and success.
Move better. React faster. Perform stronger.
As we age, we may experience various musculoskeletal issues, joint degeneration, and reduced mobility. We specialize in neuromuscular disorders, and can provide safe, valuable support and relief for elderly patients. Chiropractic can help alleviate chronic pain, neck pain, joint pain, and arthritis-related discomfort. With age, joints may become stiff, and range of motion can decrease. Chiropractic adjustments can help improve joint mobility and flexibility, enabling seniors to move more comfortably and maintain an active lifestyle. Falls are a significant concern for the elderly and can lead to severe injuries. Our care can assess, and address issues related to balance, gait, and posture, which can contribute to fall prevention. Optimizing spinal alignment and improving neuromuscular function, helps reduce the risk of falls. Our holistic approach to delivering care is especially beneficial for elderly individuals who may have concerns about surgery or medications.
We pride ourselves in providing the most advanced form of traditional Chiropractic care for children and their families. Having a healthy life includes having a healthy, strong body from above, down, inside, out. Our patients of all ages enjoy healthy living. We love seeing and helping families in our office. It is important to us that the entire family is seen under principled Chiropractic care, and we would love to see them here. We pride ourselves in being “Womb to Tomb” Chiropractors and to us that means we are here to take care of people’s nervous from the day they are born, along with pregnancy care for baby and their mother, until they take their last breaths.
Our doctors at Fish Family Chiropractic have trained and learned the best and safest ways to work with children from as early as a few minutes old to adulthood. It comes as no surprise that the birthing process is very traumatic for both baby and mother. Getting your child adjusted is the best way to start your child’s life in the healthiest, strongest way. Drs. Carolyn and Gary are both specifically trained and love working with kids. Whether the birth was vaginal, using forceps, or via c-section, the process is distressing on the bodies and our job is to take away the misalignments and subluxations to give baby and mom the best, quickest, and easiest healing possible.
Dr. Gary was taught the Pierce Technique by Walter Vernon Pierce himself. The Pierce method is a biomechanical analysis of the spinal motion that utilizes different “stressed views” of the spine. Dr. Gary and Carolyn which determine the interference throughout the spine through tests of flexion, extension, rotation, and other small bending tasks.
Difficulty getting pregnant, staying pregnant, noticing strains on your body due to pregnancy, or experiencing postpartum symptoms? No worries! We work with all! By removing subluxations, the body becomes free to handle and adapt to any added stress from pregnancy. With the resulting ease, mommies are better able to support the precious life being created. We work closely with OBGYNS and Doulas to create a safe and healthy environment.
Poor posture can contribute to nerve compression. Some examples of poor posture include slouching over a desk, standing hunched over or in a stationed position for long periods of time, looking at a screen or paperwork will play a huge role in neck as well as upper and lower back issues due to daily improper posture. The longer the body stays in this improper placement, the more the body compensates in poor positions. In the office, we assess posture and deliver Chiropractic adjustments that help to create 3-dimensional changes. Oftentimes, these changes result in improved posture and overall better health.
Scoliosis is when an individual’s lower section of their spine, usually in their lumbar section, has a curvature greater than 10* to either the right side or left side. It will not be their entire spine; however, scoliosis is usually located in the lowest section of the spine called the lumbars. With this curve, lots of damage can occur to an individual if it is not treated appropriately and in a timely manner. Some of the damage that can occur includes poor to dangerous posture, deformities of certain organs, improper growth of specific vertebrae, pinched nerves, and muscles, and, overall, numerous subluxations throughout the body.
Chiropractic adjustments can help alleviate pain caused by sports injuries such as sprains, strains, or joint misalignments. Sports injuries may lead to restricted movements in the joints. Chiropractic adjustments aim to restore proper joint alignment, reducing stiffness and increasing range of motion. We consider not only the injured area but also the body as a whole. As Chiropractors, we take a holistic approach to care, meaning we avoid the use of drugs or surgical interventions. This can be particularly beneficial for athletes who prefer a conservative care approach or want to minimize downtime and side effects associated with medications as well as longer recovery times after surgery. It is important to note that a body is always 100% better without subluxation than with. With that being said, the healing process for everybody looks different and the severity of trauma in your body and how well your body can hold adjustments will determine how fast you will start to notice the benefits of Chiropractic care and how long you will need regular Chiropractic check-ups for subluxation.
Many teenagers develop poor posture, back problems, injuries and neck issues due to factors such as carrying heavy backpacks, sitting for extended periods of time, looking down at a desk, table, or assignment, and using electronic devices excessively. Chiropractic adjustments are specifically focused on correcting these postural imbalances and subluxations and misalignments throughout the body. Active teenagers are also prone to injuries of the back, neck, and extremities. By addressing biomechanical imbalances, Chiropractic care often helps prevent injuries before they occur. Additionally, patients of Fish Family Chiropractic have noticed improvement in the quality of sleep, and a reduction of muscle tension, which enhances their overall well-being. The teenage years can be extra challenging with academic pressures, extracurricular activities, and social demands. A healthy body is free of interference (subluxation) and that is vital in its crucial role in growth and development. By correcting the subluxation and removing the interference, Chiropractic supports healthy neurological function which is essential during the formative teenage years.

Chiropractic care primarily focuses on the alignment of the spine and nervous system, but it can have direct benefits for the entire body. While Chiropractic care is not a direct form of care for anxiety or depression disorders, it may contribute to overall well-being and potentially alleviate some of the associated symptoms. Misalignments, or restrictions in spinal joints may disrupt the normal function of the nervous system. Restoring proper alignment improves brain-body communication, potentially benefiting mental health and overall body function. Chiropractic care positively influences the nervous system by removing interference in the spine. This can lead to decreased muscle tension, improved blood circulation, and enhanced relaxation, all of which may reduce stress and promote a sense of well-being.
We take Auto Accidents very seriously at Fish Family Chiropractic, located in Roswell Georgia, but what is a car accident? An Auto Accident is defined as a collision that involves one motorized vehicle colliding with either an additional vehicle (s), pedestrians, animals, moving or stationary obstacles that could include road debris, poles, buildings or even the environment such as trees. Even a small fender-bender can result in big problems! We have learned through hours of specialized training and specific colossus courses and other similar programs, how to approach and work diligently on all types of accidents. Our goal is to unlock your full ability and potential and, through our adjustments, we have figured out exactly what that means. We work hand in hand with attorneys’ offices and insurance companies to resolve cases in an efficient and satisfactory way with our patients’ positive results as a top priority.

In our office you will see us using a device called an activator, or, as our younger patients like to call it, a “tickle-stick”. This hand-held instrument delivers a gentle, non-invasive force to the spine with the intention to make the targeted spinal vertebrae/ joint begin motion to its corrected, optimal position. The activator is a quick and effective way to adjust the spine that gives the needed pressure in an incredibly un-invasive manner allowing a pain free positive change in the body. The activator is used with the intention of repositioning the spinal vertebrae …In other words, getting the bones off the nerves. With time and repetition, consistency with an activator adjustment in our Roswell office will result in close to 100% complete directional changes in the best way possible. Dr. Gary was the first Doctor in Georgia to be certified to teach Activator Methods in 1980.
It is no surprise that the majority of children have a large amount of energy and constantly bouncing around, running into things, falling down and much more. Chiropractic adjustments enhance the biomechanical function of joints, helping children move and perform activities more efficiently. Adjustments can be particularly beneficial for children involved in sports or physical activities, as it will likely enhance performance and will reduce the risk of injuries. Chiropractic care may be used as a complementary or alternative treatment for certain conditions commonly seen in children, such as colic, ear infections, asthma, and bedwetting. We take a holistic approach to healthcare, considering various factors that can influence a child's health, including diet, exercise, and lifestyle habits. Children may experience musculoskeletal issues, such as neck, back, and extremity pain, as a result of various factors, including sports injuries, poor posture, or developmental conditions. Chiropractic care can help alleviate these issues by addressing spinal misalignments and restoring proper joint function through correcting subluxations. Chiropractors focus on the alignment and function of the spine. Chiropractic adjustments aim to correct spinal misalignments or subluxations, which will potentially improve overall health in children. Proper spinal alignment promotes a healthy nervous system function and supports the body's natural healing processes.
Chiropractic adjustments are a highly effective approach for removing the inference that’s created by a pinched nerve. This occurs when excessive pressure is applied to a nerve by a surrounding structure such as bones, muscles, or tendons. Chiropractic adjustments involve applying controlled and precise forces to the spinal joints that reduce the compression or irritation on the affected nerves minimizing associated pain, discomfort, or numbness. When adjusted, the body becomes aligned and muscle tightness and spasms are reduced exponentially. This improvement is due to the body being able to work together symmetrically rather than being strained on one side while the other tries to compensate.
Sprains are common due to repetitive movements, such as, but not limited to sports injuries. Sprains will eventually create undesired stretching or tearing of the ligaments if the joints are not properly positioned, and this is where we come in. Chiropractic adjustments target the source of a biomechanical issue, correct it, and this in turn promotes an improved ability to heal. Chiropractic adjustments can provide pain relief, but it is important to remember that our priority is to get your body to work free of interference so that you can achieve optimum health at your body’s pace. Sprains will most likely occur as a result of joint restrictions or cause joint restrictions due to swelling and tissue damage in the area. In the case of a sprained ankle it is important to take into account that, if unresolved for a long period of time, the biomechanics of the joints above such as the knees, hips, and lower spinal joints will also be likely affected.
Subluxation is the physical interference of the nerve system along the spinal column where vertebrae have moved out of their optimal position. Subluxation is caused by stress: physical, chemical, and emotional, and the body’s inability to adapt to those stressors. Chiropractors are educated and trained in the detection and removal of subluxation.

In our office we take X-Rays to learn about your past and to gain valuable information on how and where to go from there. We take X-Rays as a roadmap to a healthier you, one where we, as chiropractors, will not guess about your health. Additionally, x-rays allow us to monitor the process as the care plan progresses so that we can continue to tailor your individualized care and make sure that we are meeting your specific needs in regard to how we will be adjusting you in the future and how often will you need to be checked for subluxations. Imaging can also reveal contraindications or precautions for Chiropractic care that are considered when creating individualized care so that we prioritize your safety. Furthermore, having updates of your spine allows us to show you the progress that you have achieved in a way that you will understand.
