Dr. Adam Austin, D.C., B.C.A.O.

Dr. Adam Austin

Dr. Adam is a board-certified Atlas Orthogonist and has advanced proficiency rating in the Activator Methods Chiropractic Technique.  His interest in chiropractic comes after searching for a health care profession as a high school student.  Exposure to several chiropractors and their belief systems about health and wellness happened to resonate with his values.  Undergraduate study at the University of Michigan included biomechanics, motor control and exercise physiology.  Study at the Life University College of Chiropractic helped develop a professional background rooted in a fundamental tenet:  Chiropractic first, drugs second and surgery last.  His current technique certifications are focused on facilitating the body’s innate ability to heal itself with minimal intervention.  Dr. Adam’s mission includes providing quality chiropractic care while sharing a health paradigm based on vitalistic principles and implementing those same principles in his own life.  Outside of the office, he enjoys distance running, cooking and chasing after his young sons with his wife, Angie.
