My chiropractor Dr Dan Batchelor is most excellent and I would highly recommend him to anyone who needs a great doctor. I never felt rushed, he was very easy going and easy to bond with and I could tell he loves doing what he does. The office was also very clean and organized. Let me tell you about my experience. Last month, after I had lifted a concrete block(which I knew I should not have done) all by myself and put it in the trunk of my car, I started to develop a little bit of back pain. I just thought it would probably go away like it usually does after I do something stupid like lift something heavy. The next morning when I woke up, I couldn't get out of bed. If I tried to twist or even move, severe pain would shoot into my lower back. I coughed a little and I thought my back was going to explode. I've never had anything like that before. I've never had a baby or kidney stones but I'm sure my pain was much worse than having a baby or having kidney stones. I called my next door neighbor from my bed. She is also my best friend who I would trust with my life. She helped me up and drove me to her chiropractor, Dr. Batchelor in Roswell. It was on a Sunday but she said he is open everyday. The doctor did an examination and found that a bone was out of place in my lower back and it was pinching on a nerve. I could actually see it on the x-ray. It looked like two bones were wedged out of place and pressing on the nerve inbetween them. The doctor used some traction on the joints in my lower back and that took some of the pressure off of the nerve. Next, he manipulated the bone that was out of position into a more normal position. When he manipulated it, I could hear the bone move with a clunk sound but it did not hurt which was surprising. I felt less pressure on my back after that. Afterwards, he did some physical therapy on the area. It was beginning to feel pretty good and I could feel quite a bit of pressure relief. It felt like the muscles were not in spasm like they were earlier. After treatment, the doc asked me to stand up, walk around and try it out. I thought the pain was still going to lock up my back but surprisingly there was no pain. It was gone. As you might guess I was a happy camper. What I also liked is that he gave me corrective exercises to do at home so that I could strengthen the weak area in the event I decided to abuse myself again and lift something heavy in the future. The cute asian girl at the front desk was super nice. The clinic was clean and organized and it was actually a very pleasant experience. $10 copay and fixed instantly. That's the type of office I like. read more

For the past 2 years I had experienced very intense back pain whenever I sat for more than 10 minutes. Since I sit for more than 60 hours per week working with computers, you can imagine how difficult it made my job. Every 10 minutes, I would have to stand up and stretch. The stretch would give me another 10 minutes of no pain and then the pain would return just as it did before. I took painkillers for a few days but they did not seem to have any effect on the pain. I tried massage and that had little effect. I tried physical therapy and no help. I went to an orthopedic surgeon and he told me to take muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory drugs for a month and if they did not help, he would schedule me for surgery. Those were not the answers I was looking for so I fired everyone. My girlfriend's father referred me to Dr. Batchelor, a Roswell Chiropractor. Once the doctor examined me and explained my problem to me, I felt confident he could help. He had helped my girlfriend's father with a similar condition in the past so I decided to give it a try. If he could help him, he could help anyone. Dr Dan found that my right leg was 1/2 inch longer than my left leg. It made sense because for years one my shoes would wear out faster than the other. When I stood, I always put more pressure on one side of my body. I remember looking at all of my old photos and I was always leaning to one side. Within the first 2 treatments, he had me feeling so much better. I could sit for about an hour before the pain started and when it did occur, it was not as intense as previously. Now, after the 5th treatment, I no longer feel pain no matter how long I sit. You never really appreciate being pain-free until you have a pain like I had and then have it corrected. It makes me much more appreciative of being healthy. I am doing the exercises at home that Dr. Batchelor gave me and I can tell I am much more in balance than I was in the past. Because I am just 29 years old, I don't want to be old before my time. Like the doctor said, "If you wear it out, where are you going to live?". Dr. Batchelor changed my life for the better and I am very thankful to him for his help. read more

I rate Dr. Batchelor a perfect 10. He was the magic silver bullet who was able to get me out of pain and back on the golf course. Three weeks ago, I had thrown my back out while golfing with my 2 golf buddies. Golf is my only exercise because of my time restraints involving work and my family so when I can't golf, everything else is affected including my mood, my weight, energy, digestion, the quality of my sleep, the way I look at life, etc. After my back went out, I had went to another chiropractor and an orthopedic surgeon but neither one was able to help me with the severe spasm and pain down my right leg. The surgeon said that if its not better in 2 weeks that I would need surgery to fix what he diagnosed as a herniated disc. Since another friend of mine had a similar condition and had failed back surgery, I decided that surgery was not an option for me. Right when I was ready to give up and throw in the towel, my best friend called and told me about her chiropractor. She had a similar pain and was totally adamant that Dr Dan would be able to help me just like he helped her. I decided to listen to her and do what she recommended. She was very kind and drove me to Dr. Batchelor's clinic in Roswell for the appointment. After he examined me and treated me, he showed me the x-ray and explained how the last bone in my lower back was pinching on the longest nerve in my body that went down my leg to my foot. Within 10 minutes after he treated me, I was feeling as though I had never thrown my back out in the first place. I was totally impressed with the efficiency at which he was able to help me and I would recommend him to anyone that does not have time for the pain and wants to avoid surgery. Now, I'm back on the golf course and feeling fine again thanks to Dr Batchelor. I would not hesitate to send anyone to him suffers from back pain. He's #1 read more

I gave a 5 rating but only a 4 showed up. I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Batchelor! With knowledge, patience, amazing technique, and perseverance, he has truly helped me improve my health and my life! We started with acute issues in my neck, which he addressed and resolved in just a few visits. (Apparently, I had REALLY been sleeping in some not-so-neck-friendly positions. A new pillow and new rules for how to sleep). My neck feels so much better. Then we began working on my posture. When I first started seeing Dr. Batchelor, my posture was so horrible, it was affecting my entire spine and causing debilitating headaches almost every day. Not anymore! I am literally becoming a new person, free of daily pain, carrying myself differently, with a stronger core and back than ever before. Dr. Batchelor is truly a healer. He takes his practice seriously, and as a career educator myself, I especially appreciate the fact that he continuously pursues professional development and new knowledge in the field. He isn't content with one way or the other... instead, Dr. Batchelor is always seeking out new information and techniques that can help his patients achieve better health. When he returns from a conference or a workshop, he always shares new knowledge with me. I like knowing that he's on top of it and can apply the latest research in his practice. He listens to what you say and also to what your body tells him. His staff is always wonderful too, friendly, kind, flexible, and fun. The doc is one the best athletes in Georgia and also the best doc I have met. Its nice to have a doc who practices what he preaches. If you're interested in pursuing good health, GO SEE DR. BATCHELOR! read more

This is fhe first time that I have been to a chiropractor so I was not sure on what to expect and I dont normally write reviews but I found Dr. Batchelor to be someone that deserved to be talked about. I hurt my back a few years ago when I helped a friend move. When going up the stairs while carrying a table, I twisted sideways and felt an immediate sudden and severe pain. I spent the rest of the day horizontal. I went to my massage therapist but that did not help. I went to the orthopedic surgeon and he gave me some strong pain pills and muscle relaxants. They did nothing but make my stomach sick. I realized I had something more serious. I called my supervisor since I was unsure if I would be able to work. He recommended Dr Batchelor and said I should have went there before going anywhere else. Dr. Batchelor is a chiropractor and has an office on Roswell rd, not far from my house. I decided to go there. A friend of mine helped bring me. During treatment, I felt confident that the doctor knew what he was doing. Dr. Batchelor found a muscle injury and a pinched nerve. After using some therapies that felt really good, he put me on a special table and then manipulated my lower back. I was starting to feel even better. At the conclusion of the treatment that day which took about 30 minutes, I had around 70% less pain. The next day I came back and was treated again. Dr. Batchelor was able to give me complete relief by the end of that treatment. Pretty remarkable considering the fact that the first 2 experts that I went to gave me no relief at all. Dr. Batchelor comes highly recommended. read more

Dr Batchelor helped me when I thought I could not be helped. He is a gifted doctor. I've been a waiter at Longhorn Steaks for the past 2 years. Recently, I started to develop pain in the side of my neck that radiated into my right arm and fingers. Sometimes, I would even drop things when I used my right arm. As a waiter that could be catastrophic. I went to my mothers family doctor and he gave me pain killers and muscle relaxants but they just made me tired and sick to my stomach so not only did I still had pain but I also felt tired and sick at the same time. Not good. I told a waitress at the restaurant about my problem and she told me she had a similar problem and that Dr Batchelor, a chiropractor in Roswell treated her for it and corrected the problem. I decided to call the clinic and make an appointment. Doctor and staff were very pleasant. The doctor used chiropractic, physical therapy and a form of traction. After the first treatment, I felt less pain in my arm and neck. By the 3rd treatment I had no pain whatsoever. In addition to the treatment, Dr Batchelor gave me some one sided exercises to do that would counterbalance the one sided posture that I used when I waited tables and carried trays on one side of my body. The treatment worked. Now, my neck and arm function normally and I don't feel like I am going to drop something when I pick it up with my right arm. Dr. Batchelor made quite an impression on me and as a result of my experience, I changed my major in college from psychology to premed. I hope to one day be a chiropractor like Dr. Batchelor. read more

Choosing Dr. Batcheleor was a great decision. He helped me tremendously. Dr. Batchelor was my savior. My back had went out with a vengence in May of this year. I had to miss work for 2 weeks. Having been active my whole life, those 2 weeks of pain and disability were probably the worst 2 weeks of my life because of the level of pain and because I was unable to do the things I loved. Out of desperation because I did not want to lose my job, I showed up at work at the end of the 2 weeks. I was all bent over and my walk was very slow and guarded. My boss took one look at me and refused to let me work but he did send me to his chiropractor, Dr. Batchelor in Roswell. When Dr. Batchelor saw me, he was surprised when I told him that I waited 2 weeks before getting treated. After examining me and locating the damage, he treated me for about 45 minutes. I noticed that the pain was starting to subside during the treatment and by the time he was done, I could straighten up when I walked for the first time in 2 weeks. Dr. Batchelor asked me to move around a little bit to see how it felt. I had no pain. He told me to avoid testing the areas any further for the remainder of the day so that I would not cause anything to shift back out of position until my spine adapted to its new position. It made sense. I had so much to do to catch up on things at home and work because of my missed work and missed personal life that I was thrilled just to be able to function normally again.

Doctor with a special gift: Every once in awhile you meet someone with a special gift. When its your own doctor, you are very lucky. Dr. Batchelor is that doctor with a special gift. When I was 12 years of age I was in a whiplash accident. After that accident, I had a difficult time breathing. My parents took me to all of the so called experts in the field. No one could help me. After 14 more years, several doctors and several thousand dollars of tests with the final outcome as "inconclusive" I knew I had to search elsewhere. My co-worker referred me to Dr. Batchelor. It took Dr. Batchelor about 2 minutes to find the cause of my problem. He didnt need x-rays or thousands of dollars of diagnostic tests. He found the problem by palpating the ribs where they attach to my spine. He showed me where 2 ribs had come out of place from the seatbelt exerting pressure on my chest during sudden impact. He positioned my body a certain way and then exerted a gentle pressure against the ribs. I could hear 2 painless clicks. Click, click. The pain vanished and I could take a deep breath with no pain. I was amazed but I was also left wondering why no one knew how to fix the problem in the past 14 years. Dr. Batchelor stated that it was simple to diagnose and doesn't even require an x-ray or a diagnostic test. Its sort of like your finger being out of socket. Put it back in socket and the pain goes away. He didn't even charge me. He said it was too simple and didnt make him work. I can't thank Dr. Batchelor enough. read more

Dr. Batchelor has that special touch that we seek in a doctor: I don't know about you but when my back is out, nothing in the world eliminates my pain faster than a chiropractic adjustment. I tried pain killers, muscle relaxants and anti-inflammatory drugs. They were pretty worthless. I tried massage, physical therapy, orthopedic surgeon, neurologist, acupuncture, all kinds of natural remedies. Still nothing helped. I thought I was out of options and just had to live with the pain forever. My sister-in-law referred me to her chiropractor, Dr. Batchelor in Roswell. I must have passed his clinic a thousand times going to work and back. In less than 30 minutes, Dr. Batchelor was able to examine me and treat me and as a result, I was completely out of pain. I am not one to write reviews but I made an exception because Dr. Batchelor is an exceptional doctor. After spending thousands of dollars with other health professionals Dr. Batchelor able to eliminate all the pain that I had. A $10 copay was the cost. It just confirms the fact that there are good doctors and there are not so good doctors. Medicine is both an art and a science. A doctor may have all the book smart in the world but lacks the ability to apply it in a meaningful and helpful manner. Dr. Batchelor has that ability to examine and treat the body with that special touch. Had I not been referred to him, I probably would have lived the rest of my life in pain and misery. Now, I have a read more

Hands down, the best chiropractic care I have ever had. I felt immediate relief. Recently after playing 18 holes on the golf course followed by playing tennis with my younger cousin, I felt a sudden and severe pain along with spasm in my lower back. I spent the rest of the evening horizontal in bed unable to sleep. In the morning, I went to my family doctor who gave me anti-inflammatory drugs. They did not help. My family doctor then referred me to an orthopedic surgeon who referred me for an MRI. When the results came back, he recommended disc surgery for a ruptured disc. I quickly opted out of the surgery option. The surgeon then referred me to physical therapy. That did not help. The physical therapist then referred me to Dr. Daniel Batchelor, a chiropractor in Roswell. The last time I had been to a chiropractor was when I was a teenager in San Diego many moons ago. I had injured my neck several different times during skateboarding falls and after a few treatments the chiropractor had fixed me. The physical therapist kindly called Dr. Batchelors office and made an appointment for me. Dr. Batchelor checked me out and then treated me. I felt immediate relief after the first treatment and I wanted to kick myself for not going to him first. No surgery, no drugs, no drama and he is even covered by my United Healthcare insurance. The next time something like that happens again, guess where I'll go? read more

Dr Batchelor is the number one doc in my book. He came highly recommended to me and I definitely recommend him to you. After suffering from chronic lower back pain for the past several years I was at my wits end. Even my tennis game was affected. I could hardly reach to hit the ball anymore without clenching my teeth from the intense pain that I felt. It was almost as though a pair of pliars was squeezing down on a nerve in my lower back. I would not wish that pain upon anyone. I tried one of my Fioricet with codeine pain killers I had left over from when I used to have migraine headaches. Still no help. Thanks to my 2 tennis partners who have been barking at me for the past several months to go to their chiropractor Dr. Batchelor, I finally gave in and went in for treatment. I must say that I was very surprised and impressed that my condition was not as incurable as I thought. Within a week, Dr. Batchelor had me out of pain and I was able to play pain-free tennis once again. That's pretty remarkable considering the fact that I had sufferred from the pain for several years. Had I know about him earlier, I could have prevented much needless sufferring. Thanks to my tennis partners for looking out for me and thanks to Dr. Batchelor for caring for me the way I like to be cared for and treating me the way I like to be treated. I can't thank him enough for taking the time to problem solve my condition. read more

Dr Dan fixed my back when I thought it was unfixable A couple of weeks ago I had to go to a wedding for a friend of mine. I dressed up and then put on my 4 inch heels that I have not worn in a long time. After the wedding, I went to the reception and stood for around 2 hours. By the time I came home, my back was in severe spam. I've never had anything like that before. I was worried that it was going to be unfixable. I called my mother to see who her chiropractor was. My mom actually came over and drove me to Dr. Batchelor's office in Roswell. The clinic was open on Saturday evening. My boyfriend came with us and helped me since I could hardly walk on my own. When we walked in, my boyfriend who does martial arts fighting, recognized the front desk person from his gym. She is #1 in the world in Muy Thai martial arts fighting. They talked and then she brought me back to the examination room. Dr. Batchelor came in to check out my back. He found that I have swayback along with a leg length imbalance and that wearing the heels pushed the structures beyond the norm and pinched on a big nerve in my lower back. That caused the pain and spasm. He used phycial therapy on me and by the end of the treatment, my pain was gone. After that he gave me exercises to do that would strengthen the area and prevent me from having that aweful pain again. Thanks to Dr. Batchelor, I feel good again. read more

I gave a 5 rating but it shows up as a 4 rating. Dr. Batchelor certainly earned my vote!! Last week I was in the process of moving from Dunwoody to Roswell when I lifted some heavy tools to put into the trunk of my car. When I bent forward I felt something shift in my lower back and I knew that wasn't a good sign. I immediately went to my knees because of the severe pain. I crawled into the back seat of the car and called my wife on my cell phone. "Take me to your chiropractor" were my words. She took me to Dr. Batchelor around 7pm. He's probably the only doctor who opens really early around 6am and closes at 7pm. I was in luck. Dr. Batchelor examined me and showed me where the bottom vertebra in my lower back had twisted 12 degrees off from midline. It was pinching on a nerve and I could see it. He put me into traction while he used some physical therapy on the area. I could feel the area starting to settle down and relax. Next, he adjusted my back and I could feel that same bone shift again. He tested my back again and found that the correction was successful. I was able to get up on my own and twist and bend with no pain. I told Dr. Batchelor that he is a miracle worker. If you saw me crawl into the clinic and then saw me walking out with normal stride, you would not think it was the same person. Dr. Batchelor certainly has my vote read more

Dr. Batchelor changed my life for the better. For the past 2 years I had experienced very intense back pain whenever I sat for more than 10 minutes. Since I work with computers, it made my job very difficult. Every 10 minutes I would have to stand up and stretch. It would give me another 10 minutes of no pain and then the pain would return just as it did before. My girlfriend referred me to Dr. Batchelor, a Roswell Chiropractor. Once the doctor examined me and found the problem, I felt confident he could help. He found that my right leg was 1/2 inch longer than my right one. Even one my shoes would wear out faster than the other because of the leg length difference. When I stood, I always put more pressure on one side of my body and when I looked at some old photos, I always leaned to one side. Within the first 2 treatments, he had me feeling so much better that instead of the usual 10 minutes of sitting causing my pain, I could sit for about an hour before the pain began. Now, after the 5th treatment, I no longer feel pain no matter how long I sit. I am doing the exercises at home that Dr. Batchelor gave me and I can tell I am much more in balance than I was in the past. I don't want to be old before my time. Like the doctor said, "If you wear it out, where are you going to live?". Dr. Batchelor changed my life for the better. read more
