About Functional Health Institute of Atlanta

Caring for and maintaining the body’s health is an act of integrating treatment methods, not separating them. At Functional Health Institute of Atlanta, we prioritize a method of functional health & wellness that treats the unified systems of your body.

Instead of relying only on conventional approaches to mitigate symptoms, we address problems holistically to find more permanent solutions. Our team is passionate about helping ailing patients achieve optimal health, and we truly care about the success of each and every patient.

Our office is founded on the belief of participatory care where the patient is an instrumental partner in returning their body back to health. We integrate findings from the most recent research along with our years of accumulated knowledge and will leave no stone unturned when it comes to getting to the root cause of your health problem.

All of this is done in a warm, caring environment where we always take the time to listen and help in any way we can to aid in relieving the pain and suffering of our patients.

Patient satisfaction is a top priority, and every F.H.I.A. Doctor of Chiropractic and administrative team member works hard to ensure that each patient receives attention and individualized care.
