One Sunday evening in April/May 2015 my wife and I had finished watching a slew of HBO series shows on TV. She got up off the couch to go use the restroom, and just as she turned she somehow lost her balance and fell backwards (away from the couch) and landed stiffly on her buttocks. It was painful to watch, especially since I wasn't quick enough to catch her. She groaned painfully, and I immediately rushed to her aid being careful not to move her until she said it was OK to do so. After a few moments, she was able to roll on her side and, with some struggle, I was able to help her to her feet. She said she felt numb in her lower back but didn't feel any unbearable pain, So I rubbed her back gently with BENGAY that night and we went to bed. The next day, and over the next several days, she felt a throbbing pain in her back that won't go away. So she went to see her regular doctor who, after examination and an x-ray said something was definitely out of line in her back which might require surgery if the medicines he prescribes doesn't resolve it. After about a month of no noticeable improvement, I happened to overhear a coworker talking about a chiropractor she'd seen when she had some back problems. That is how we heard about Dr. Kris Johnson and his amazing team at BACK-ON-TRACK Chiropractic in downtown Birmingham. From the very first visit which involved a detailed conversation about her medical history (not just the fall) and an x-ray and a massage, she began to feel better. After 10 or so visits, she felt like new again (even better than before) because her whole back had been misaligned for years without us knowing it. As part of her treatment Dr. Johnson told us to apply equal parts of cold water and ice cubes in a ziploc bag to her back (below the neck) each evening. This soothed her a lot before bed. Thank you Dr. Johnson, your sweet wife Bethany, and your very able assistant Amy for sparing us an unnecessary surgery. God bless you all! read more

When I first saw Dr. Kris 3 years ago, I was unable to stand up, walking with about a 25 degree lean to my upper body. Every step I look resulted in excruciating lower back pain. Not being able to play with or hold my 4 month old made it feel like the end of the world, especially knowing some of the horror stories associated with back surgery. After my first visit I knew there was hope, I walked in and was instantly treated like family. It took only a few weeks to relieve most of my pain and I was so thankful that for the first time in months I was able to stand up correctly. After a few more months of treatment I was like new again (Only visiting when I felt like I needed an adjustment). Now that I am pregnant with twins, you can bet I will be visiting on a regular basis! I recommend anyone to Back on Track Chiropractic & Wellness Center, it will be one of the only doctor's appointments you will actually look forward to! read more

My husband hurt his shoulder and of course he wouldn't go to the doctor. Well after about 2 month's he went to his doctor and was told he had pulled a muscle and to exercise it and take Advil if needed, he did this for a couple weeks but it didn't get any better. Our daughter got him to go see Dr. Johnson, the first thing he did after meeting and talking to him was to take x-rays and he could tell it was more than a pulled muscle. He is going back tomorrow for his 3rd visit and he is filling better already. Dr. Johnson and his staff are great, I am so glad our daughter talked him into going to the Back on Track Downtown and seeing Dr. Johnson read more

Wish there was an option for more than 5 stars because he definitely deserves it. Dr. Kris is a GREAT chiropractor. This is a Christian family ran office. I've been seeing him for almost 5 years. The first time I went into his office, I could barely walk because of my lower back issues. Also, the office staff is wonderful. Amy is very quick to get you started on therapy and Bethany (also Dr. Kris' wife) is very friendly and helpful when it comes to scheduling future appointments, handling the insurance and your visit. I strongly recommend Dr Kris as a chiropractor. read more

I was in pain constantly for 5 weeks with neck and back pain so intense that I could not sit for more than 10 minutes, ride/drive in a car for over 10 minutes, basically could only lay down. I came to Back on Track and received treatment. I did not receive steroid shots, muscle relaxers or surgery. If you are in constant pain and do not want an operation or medications and their side effects, I suggest you go to the best medical treatment available in our advanced technology world that we live in and that is Chiropractic care! read more

I started going to Dr. Kris shortly after I found that I had a L5 S1 ruptured disc along with a grade two spondyloslisthesis. I was told by a Neurosurgeon that I was going to need a spinal fusion. I was not comfortable with having to go through a back surgery especially a lower disc fusion. I am now four months out since my injury and still no surgery thanks to Dr. Kris. He and his staff really care about their patients and do everything they can to help. read more
