What To Expect

First Visit To Our Clinic

New patients often remark how warm and welcoming our practice is. That’s good, because our goal is to offer state-of-the-art natural health care in comfortable surroundings. So, make yourself at home!

You’ll be greeted by name with a smile when you enter our practice and if you’ve completed your admitting paperwork, great! In most cases, we will have already been in touch with you via phone, text or email to confirm your initial appointment and verify you have received and completed your New Patient Paperwork.

The purpose of your discovery consultation is to discuss your health goals and see if you’re a good candidate for our care. A thorough examination will help us identify the likely cause of your problem.

Our patients appreciate how transparent we are, thoroughly explaining how our process works and what they can expect during each step of their individualized care plan.

Second Visit - Report of Findings (Chiropractic)

We call the second visit your Report-of-Findings visit and it is scheduled soon after your first visit. During your report of findings, we explain your exam and any x-ray findings, and how we may be able to help you. We’ll make recommendations designed to help you restore and keep your health.

This two-visit approach accomplishes several things:

1. Reduces the length of your first visit
2. Gives us time to correlate our findings
3. Avoids overloading you with too much information

In certain circumstances, we make exceptions depending on your unique situation. But, for the most part, your first adjustment will take place after we review the Report of Findings together on your second visit.

A Typical Office Visit

After the investment of time needed on the first and second visit, many patients become concerned that every visit will be of equal length.

In a word: no. A typical visit may require just several, highly-focused minutes and you could be in and out of the office in 20-30 minutes. However, each patient and their case management is highly individualized so a typical visit time does vary.

Rest assured you will receive the exceptional level of care your visit demands, so don’t think the brevity of a regular visit lessens its value! With the groundwork laid, some visits we can quickly assess your health status and spine and nervous system, and chart your progress. Regular visits are where the true healing take place.

Like a regular workout at the gym, each visit builds on the ones before. Miss a visit and we can lose the momentum necessary to make the needed changes.

We recognize your time is valuable. Remember, you are making an investment in your future by following the recommended visit protocol by your doctor for your individual case.

Dr. Micheal Anderson DC, DABCI

Dr. Anderson is a licensed Doctor of Chiropractic, practicing in Dallas, GA. He has received extensive post-doctorate training in Specific Upper Cervical adjusting procedures and is certified through Knee Chest Upper Cervical Specific (K.C.U.C.S.).

After 10 years of competing in the sport of powerlifting at the state and national level, reaching Collegiate first team All-American status, and competing on the US National Team at the World Championships in the Czech Republic in 1997, I suffered severe back pain and was only 24 years old. I was told I had disc problems and would need to stop competing. I found a chiropractor in Baltimore, Maryland and began care with fantastic results. As my body healed, I continued my PL career, and decided I wanted to help others receive health naturally through chiropractic care.

I was able to continue my PL career, but still had occasional pain, as well as digestive issues, stomach pain, and skin problems. While in school, I came across an amazing chiropractic procedure called Upper Cervical Specific Chiropractic. After experiencing this type of care, my health went to the next level, and my symptoms completely resolved over the next 3 years. By now I was 30 years old, extremely healthy, and looking to share my Upper Cervical chiropractic health knowledge with all.

Dr. Anderson did his undergraduate studies at Towson State University in Baltimore Maryland and graduated with a degree in Marketing and Sports Management. Then he graduated in 1995 from Logan College of Chiropractic in Chesterfield, Missouri. Dr. Anderson continued his education with postgraduate work in upper cervical care getting certified from Michael Kale in 1996. He earned master certification in KCUCS Upper Cervical procedure in 2001. Since then, he has been teaching doctors around the world KCUCS Upper Cervical procedure. Dr. Anderson also has DABCI functional health training and certification.

The goal of Anderson Integrated Health Center’s upper cervical specific chiropractic care is to remove interference to the nervous system by making a correction that allows the body to heal itself. The procedure utilized by Anderson Integrated Health Center works with the body’s innate capacity to heal itself when the nervous system is free from interference. This procedure is gentle and effective for infants to the elderly. Computerized diagnostic instrumentation is utilized to determine if a person can be helped with this procedure. Helping patients who have suffered for years with no relief is very rewarding. But probably what Dr. Anderson enjoys the most is seeing young children recover from health problems that prevents them from having to suffer for a lifetime.

Dr. Anderson resides in metro Atlanta with his wife Theresa and two children, Jeremiah and Hope. He enjoys family time, his children’s sports, coaching his son’s basketball team, racquetball, and staying active in a challenging race like the Tough Mudder. Dr. Mike met his wife at chiropractic school in Chesterfield, Missouri and Dr. Theresa went on to become an upper cervical doctor herself. She paused her career to be a full-time home-school mother, and has returned to practice alongside her husband. Dr. Mike Anderson also has strong faith in his Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and enjoys being a long-time member at Westridge Church in Dallas, Georgia.

In addition to staying physically active, Dr. Anderson understands the importance of excellent nutrition to achieve great health. He and his family have achieved a healthy lifestyle without the use of pharmaceuticals, including vaccines, and he has been drug-free since 1993. He thanks God for the health his family enjoys, knowing that God gave us natural ways to live a healthy life!
