The Joint ...the Chiropractic Place

Dr. Frankenberg is amazing. I only go there to get adjusted by him. Unlike the other chiropractors he is consistent with his adjustments and I always feel like a new person after I see him. If he werent there I would consider going to another location. Despite the high turnover with the doctors there, he is by far the best that location has seen in a while. Worth the money.

Excellent experience. No appointment, walked right in and received an adjustment that immediately relieved my soreness and stiffness. Great treatment and value.

I love the joint! I have gone to other Chiropractors who I feel have taken advantage of my insurance. At the Joint they don’t mess around with insurance and I use my HSA to pay. It’s a no frills place, but it’s affordable and I am able to go weekly. I started out going to the peachtree city location, but I no longer work down there. I’ve tried the duluth/​lawrenceville location and the midtown location. Dr. Butler is my favorite between those three locations. I hope she sticks around.

This was my first time visiting a chiropractor Dr. Melanie Butler and Denisha was awesome and I am looking forward to my next visit. Thank you for the pops my body feels lighter. Thank you for your knowledge and GREAT customer service.

I have been dealing with pain in my wrist for 2 years and no one has been able to fix it. I’ve been to the acupuncturist, the massage therapist and the orthopedic surgeon. Only Dr. Butler has been able to help me. She is amazing and always works hard at figuring out the best way to adjust me so that I have relief. She is very personable, kind and well-​qualified. I recommend this to everyone I know!

I’ve been to other chiropractors before, and in comparison this is the Panda Express of chiropractors. Sure, it’s fast and cheap, but I have to wonder if it’s safe and high quality? I’m not sure that I really want «fast and cheap» to be the description of someone manipulating my spine.
I found my way to The Joint because they’re close to my office, but unfortunately convenience does not trump safety for me.
X-​rays are a pretty normal way to initiate chiropractic care. Well, x-​rays are not part of The Joint’s «fast and cheap» system. I’m not a rocket surgeon or anything, but wouldn’t you want to have a visual of the bones you’re moving around before going bonkers popping and cracking? Also somewhat troubling is the waiver you sign in case of stroke or paralysis resulting from their care… since, you know, they’re not looking at your spine on an x-​ray before moving it around!

I should preface this review by saying I don’t suffer from any chronic pain. Actually, I ended up coming in to The Joint, because I’d joined LA Fitness a while back and they gave me a card for a free adjustment. I was more curious than anything about what a chiropractor would do to me than anything else.
The Joint is quite different from how most chiros work: no appointment necessary, no insurance plans accepted, just walk in and get adjusted. Bada bing, bada boom.
So, I walked in one Friday afternoon and sat down to fill out paperwork before my first adjustment. After I was done with that, I was taken back behind the front desk to where there are 3 separate adjustment benches set up. The chiropractor on duty that afternoon started with an assessment of me to see where my problem areas were. Lucky for me, I was a dancer for 10 years during school, so my spine and posture are pretty good. He did find some spots though that could use his technique: my wrists (I type at a laptop all day for work), my upper back and neck (stress from sitting at a desk) and a few spots in my lower back.
In no time, he had me folded into different shapes with my arms crossed and one knee or the other up and then he’d lean into me, we’d hear a pop and he’d lift up again. Or I had my arms crossed and he adjusted his fingers very subtly on my back and suddenly I felt something else pop. Amazing! Finally, we popped my neck both directions, which felt great. When I sat back up after all this and did some minor stretches, I discovered my range of motion and strength in some areas had actually improved from his adjustments. Wow!
Afterwards, he gave me a little sheet with specific vertebrae checked off and what they connected to in the body. For instance, one of my neck vertebrae connects to my sinuses and another connected to my shoulders (everything in the body’s connected to different vertebrae apparently).
At the front desk, the girl was a pretty soft sell since you don’t have to set up a follow up appointment, and while I think that weekly adjustments are a little unnecessary for me, I may go back every once in a while for another snap, crackle and pop.

I am so thankful to Dr John Thomas for the progress I’ve made with my back. I call him «my Angel» because when I remembered the pain I was in 2 months ago «it’s a miracle». I look forward doing to the office because of the friendliness that you are greeted with when you enter the office you’re greeted by name… makes me feel special :-)! It is nice to know that my well being is important and Doctor Thomas really cares. He is always willing to answer questions and is very easy to talk to. I was very shocked to kind out how VERY affordable they were with the packages they offer. I could not have afforded it if had to go to a traditional chiropractic office. I totally recommend that you visit this location and experience the professionalism that I encounter every time I visit the Joint North Druid Hills… THEY ARE SIMPLY THE BEST

FINALLY! A Chiropractic clinic that is affordable, direct, and professional. No scams. No schemes. No frills or shady deals. This is the real deal. I highly suggest this place. The doctor is very nice and straight to the point. His adjustments are tailored to your body and specific needs. He’s quick, but thorough. You’ll be out in less than 20 minutes.

I’ve been to quite a few chiropractors over the years, and I think you could find a better one in the area. I also didn’t appreciate that they tried to sell me a package and we’re telling me I needed to come in once a week before they had even given me an assessment.

This is one of the best Chiropractic I’ve been to in 20yrs. Can’t believe I only pay $ 49 a month for 4 adjustments. I was paying move when it went through my insurance. So happy with the care I gotten since joining.

I have chronic back and hip pain and have gone to few chiropractors over the past 6 years. I stopped by The Joint last week since I had noticed they recently opened one off North Druid Hills en route to work, I was so glad I did. Dr. Thomas was very professional and manipulated my joints adeptly. I was impressed at how many areas of my spine and joints were not being addressed in the past. I walked out of The Joint feeling less strain in my neck, hips, upper and lower back. I would definitely recommend seeing Dr. Thomas if your looking for a chiropractor.

Whether you’ve been to a chiropractor many times before or are thinking about seeing one for the first time, the Joint is the perfect place to go. I had never been to a chiro before and of course had heard mixed reviews on chiropractors in general but after visiting the Joint I was certain I had chosen a great place. The doctor answered all of my questions/​concerns without rushing me and made me feel very comfortable. The prices are very reasonable and they also offer different plans to fit each person’s individual needs. The entire team is especially friendly and professional which makes for a pleasant visit every time. Lastly, there is no need to make an appointment. I am always in and out in less than 5 minutes. I highly recommend The Joint to anyone who is in need of chiropractic care!
