I am returning patient of Dr. Peterson aka Doc. I started my treatment with Doc back in 2006 & after my first visit treatment (post-consultation) I felt deepen relief. Relief for my severe stiffness in my Lumbar Spine aka Lower Back equating to the pesky L6 & L5 hinderances. Not to mention my right shoulder & hip flares up. Doing my part in weekly visits until leaving GA, my range motion increased & the stiffness/pain decreased, all with education, adjustments & no medication. Doc's patient care approach & light hearted engagement is bar none. Now that I'm back in town, it was a no brainer to resume care with Doc. His bandwidth on the correlation of the anatomy, chemical make up, neurology physiology & even the radiology aspect is profound. He doesn't "Doctor" you with the confusing terminology as he walks you through point A-Z on all things relief, stability, with getting to & addressing the underlying cause(s). Doc is also a specialist in Upper Cervical Chiropractic Care that focuses on the the first two bones in the neck - vertebrae. It's an enormous difference from the other bones of the spinal column. In addition to Doc's expertise & insight, I got to look at my 3-D Upper Cervical Spinal Analysis which provided an easier comprehension of the upper cervical region of my spine & how it connects to my back & it's hindrances. With this approach, it's an extensive benefit to acupuncture & massage therapy. If you want to reach optimum health & peak performance levels regardless of age, mobility, etc., with healthy drug free alternatives, Kindspine is for you. read more

I've shared this review on Google as well! I've been a patient of Dr. Kris for about a month now, and I can honestly say he's changed my life. He's brilliant, a true nerd about his craft, and just the most hilarious, charismatic, and thoughtful person. His practice even has a relaxing resting room you can use before and after your adjustments to mentally prepare for the amazing experience you're about to have. In 2022, I was diagnosed with relapse-remitting multiple sclerosis, and I was struggling with chronic pain, cramping, numbness, brain fog, and fatigue. I also have TMJ. I'd tried everything--medicine, acupuncture--but nothing was truly effective until I started seeing Dr. Kris. Since then, about 95% of my symptoms have been relieved. I'm so incredibly grateful for his care. This is by far the most effective way I've found to manage my MS symptoms. I will be a patient for life! I'd like to add that I just read his 1/2 star reviews and that's simply not true. The experience of having a chiropractor is that it takes time to see results and Dr. Kris explains this. He gives you a consultation with x rays before you commit to a large financial ask. We choose to trust that the medicine we take that we've never seen the science behind it at all. To be clear, I support taking medicine as needed but it's usually symptom treating. Dr. Kris promotes long lasting relief and actually says he doesn't want you to have to always come--that's the goal. Very different that my monthly MS infusion that I'm told I need to take for the rest of my life. read more

Kindspine has been very helpful for my back and neck problems! I always feel better after going in.

There is a healing Angel on this planet, his name is Dr. Kristofor M. Peterson. My story begins with a car accident, a hit and run by a 18 wheeler truck. The car was of course totalled and I never thought my body could go thru so much pain and discomfort. My heavenly Father placed me in Dr. Peterson's healing hands and my mind was blown away. After just one upper cervical adjustment my symptoms began to subside greatly. He and his dedicated assistant has given me, 1000 percent, since I walked thru the door. If you are seeking the ULTIMATE healing, he is a phone call away. I am eternally grateful . Thank you very much read more

I happened upon Virginia Hill chiro just by searching online for chiropractors near me. I called and spoke to a lovely woman who asked me a few questions and suggested that Dr. Kris would be a good fit for me. I am very happy that I made that call! I had not seen a chiropractor since moving to ATL but had seen one regularly beforehand. Years prior I was told that my neck is curved the opposite way than it should be and my neck and back problems were a result of that issue. Seeing my chiropractor certainly helped but the adjustments I was receiving were the lower vertebrae. The relief after each visit was fairly brief. After about 6 months in Atlanta I found myself in discomfort in the middle of my back. That is when I met Dr. Kris. He explained that his practice was different and that his focus is on the root cause over the symptoms. He focuses on adjustments of the upper vertebrae. I will leave the full explanation to him, but I can say that I have literally never felt better. I never thought that I could find this level of relief. He recently took new x-rays after a year and my curve is actually reversing. On top of it my allergies have significantly improved which is definitely connected to the upper vertebrae which is my primary issue. I have seen instant and long term results and he meets me where I am. Based on my current state, I see him monthly but when I am "out" it is every two weeks or weekly. I would not go back to traditional chiropractic which provided relief but required frequent visits and never seemed to treat the cause. read more

Kris Peterson is in the class of really good chiropractors. (They aren't all great, as we know.) I have been seeing him on and off for several years now when things go out of whack. His work consistently delivers almost immediate results, and lasting results. I have made numerous referrals to Kris because the outcomes are so good. read more

I used to get adjustments from Adam when he was still here, and I always enjoyed the service and the fact that they took my insurance. However, I let a few years pass and when I was in terrible pain and really needed an adjustment, I called and was told Adam had moved on. The guy that remained there started trying to sell me some weird holistic health plan where he would adjust my cervical vertebra. He touted it as some "top down" effect that would cure all my other spinal ailments. I was in such pain I asked him over and over again for an adjustment and he kept saying "No, you need this plan that costs $2500 and takes six months," and "At least I'm not charging you for this session." I would have gladly paid to just get some relief from the pain I was in, and still am in despite his having poked my neck a few times. As I was leaving, he told me a story that made it sound like his therapeutic approach had treated a woman's diabetes. That's dangerous talk for a near medical professional with multiple degrees from [checks notes] uh, Life University. I guess I'm upset because I called in, said I needed relief, and he invited me in to waste my time for free, allowing me to leave still in pain. read more

Dr Kris is fantastic and has been a huge help to me. I first came to see him with neck pain, which he was able to quickly resolve. And more importantly, I've also had tinnitus for a couple years, which at one point was debilitating. Under Dr Kris' care, the volume of the ringing has been greatly reduced and is continuing to improve! I highly recommend working with Dr Kris if you get the chance! read more

This is not your normal "back cracker." I've written a review on my previous Chiropractor (who was one), and since then, I've been reintroduced to this form of medicine in a whole new light. Dr. Kris (or more informally, Kris) is one of the best I've seen thus far, and I feel renewed after every visit. They have two guys who run the practice in the Highlands/Monroe area, and one of the first things that Kris said to me was that he will not do the same adjustment on me at any time. If it's not outta whack, he won't touch it. Plus, not every person has the same structural make-up, so I won't get the same treatment as anyone else - it's all based on individual needs. After seeing him for over a month now, I've received adjustments pertaining to the areas of soreness or stiffness, and it's been amazing. First off, he does this "before and after" comparison based on range of motion. You and he both can see and feel the difference, before and after the adjustment. Not only do the bones get adjusted into place, but for me ('cuz my alignment is that f'd up), he has also given me exercises to do at home to retrain the muscles to hold the bones in the right place. For "x" amount of years your bones have been outta whack and your muscles have been trained to hold your bones in that whacked out position. Now, with retraining your muscles after an adjustment, your muscles can hold your bones in the right place. Inevitably, this will fix your problem over time, and you'll not need to go back as regularly, as often, and eventually ever. I like this approach, and I've seen it work. I'd recommend seeing them to anyone who needs a Chiropractor. Don't go to a "back cracker" who does the same adjustment on you every time. Just know - you're getting the same treatment as everyone else. It's a waste of money, and you're not going to get fixed up. read more

Less than 5 months to a happy back! I wish I had found Dr. Kris sooner. Now, I know if you are in pain, you would like instant relief... but please BE PATIENT! Read on... I had terrible back pain all day and night for many months in 2011-2012. I had seen several different chiropractors and P.T's in town. I did traction, inversion tables, exercises, massage, Pilates, Yoga, heat and cold therapy, stim, you name it... no one could help me. I spent thousands of dollars and had absolutely no relief. I was really miserable and had almost lost hope, but then my good friend (who had also had horrible back pain) told me about his success with Dr. Kris. I was desperate, and was desperate to find some relief. First of all, Dr. Kris had an excellent explanation of how he would help me, with a helpful visual aid showing the vertebrae and nerves. No other chiropractor had explained this to me as well. I started my visits in September 2012, getting adjusted 3x per week. After a month or so, I began improving. Every time I went for an adjustment, I'd be in pain before the visit, and immediately after my adjustment, I'd feel so much better. I was finally beginning to regain hope. Today, I can sit, stand, run, lay on my back, stand, walk - and best of all, lift very heavy things, and all without pain! My profession and hobby involves weightlifting, and I have surpassed my previous weightlifting records (pre-back pain), so I just couldn't be happier! Thank you Dr. Kris! Oh, and also, I had nagging shoulder pain for over a year. He adjusted my shoulder too, and blammo - no more shoulder pain. The man works some serious magic. GO SEE HIM NOW. read more

I've found this location because of Yelp. I called Tuesday morning and they were able to fit me in for the same day. I like the process here. Dr. Adam was great. He explained everything that he was doing, letting me know what to expect. It wasn't like the places I went when I was younger, I like it a lot. I wish I knew more about the whole process so that I could better explain how different it is. I've already recommended the Virginia Hills to a few friends. read more

I cannot recommend Dr. Kris Peterson enough. He absolutely has a gift. I have been seeing Kris since he was in school, for over 10 years now. I have a horrible case of scoliosis and was only ever told by other doctors to take pain meds to help with the everyday back pain. Since I started seeing Kris and getting adjusted by him regularly, I have been pain free and able to strengthen my back . When I feel so good and forget about seeing him for a couple of months, I ultimately do something to hurt my back and he is right there to fix me up! Sometimes even fitting me in immediately. His office is easy to get to , and he will always make time to see you. Most importantly he knows what he is doing, and does it well. I send all my friends and collegues to him and even my 8 yr old daughter. Chiropractic care under Dr. Petersons hands has made my life easier and less painful! He truly is miracle worker! No matter what my ailment, he can always make me feel better! I truly believe in the body's power to heal itself! Do yourself a favor and make an appointment. read more

I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Kris at Virginia Hill Chiropractic. I've a very active person who enjoys doing aerial silks and as someone who has always believed in chiropractic care (it's been years since I had been to a good chiropractor), I knew that in order to get rid of the various aches and pains and improve my aerial techniques, I would need to see a chiropractor. I was referred to Kris by a fellow aerialist. Besides my physical activities, another reason why I decided to get chiropractic care was in my early 30's, I was diagnosed as having premature menopause and placed on hormone therapy to help deal with the unbearable hot flashes. The hot flashes were intense, almost every hour and even at night which interfered with my sleep. I have been on medication on and off for about 7 years. Each time I decided to stop taking them, the hot flash nightmare would begin then I would restart the medication. This year, knowing the adverse effects of being on prolong therapy and frankly tired of having to remember to take a pill every morning, I decided that I would "conquer" the hot flashes. Even if it meant traveling to Nepal to find relief! Luckily, I didn't need to go to far. I stopped taking my medication in mid January...I wasn't getting as many hot flashes during the day, but they increased at night. I thought.."Here we go again.." To make a long story short, I have been seeing Kris since Feb 2 and I may have 1 or 2 small hot flashes during the day and maybe 1 at night. I made him aware of my diagnosis and he explained how the adjustments would affect different areas of my body. He was absolutely right. I am experiencing the benefits of chiropractic care. Dr. Kris knows what he's doing and he will explain everything to you in a friendly an professional manner. I know that I still have a ways to go, but not only have I found relief, I feel stronger while doing aerial silks. Disclaimer: please note that my doctor would always encourage me to stop taking the hormone therapy as prolonged use can have adverse effects. Because my hot flashes were so intense, she would refill my prescriptions because she knew this was probably the only way to help me. (A medical doctor won't often recommend alternative therapy). I would not recommend that anyone simply stop taking their medicine. read more

I just finished my first visit with Dr. Adam at Virginia Hill Chiropractic. I injured my shoulder over a week ago and after thinking it would just "pop" itself back into place, I decided to try the chiropractic route. I didn't get much out of my experience at another practice years ago, but wanted to give it another shot. I chose Virginia Hill because it was covered under my insurance and I liked their website. I called this morning and Kerrie worked me in for the same morning. Dr. Adam spent about an hour and a half with me and explained everything he was doing, the names of the muscles, and how one muscle group relates to another. The visit felt laid back and professional at the same time. The other doctor, Dr. Kris introduced himself when I was checking out and I felt very welcomed and excited to have found such a great practice. And it's right by Trader Joe's! What else can you ask for? read more

Dr Kris has changed my life for the better! He focuses on upper cervical adjustments and I've never consistently felt this good. With x-rays and hands on adjustments, my trigeminal neuralgia has basically disappeared, my migraines and frequent headaches have dwindled in number, and my chronic lower back pain is gone. I 1000% recommend Virginia Hill Chiropractic! read more

I was referred to Dr Kris by my sister. I went to him with a sore hip, in lots of pain. After an hour and a half on my first visit, I walked out with a sore hip and spent $345. Dr. Chris did lots of tests said he would fix lots of problems, but didn't fix my pain. Total rip-off. Avoid this guy. read more

I first went to see Dr. Kris on a referral. I was in so much pain, I couldn't walk straight. Dr. Kris spent two hours with me explaining my treatment plan, taking x-rays, and adjusting me. I felt the improvement instantly. He has helped me get back to exercising and leading an active lifestyle again. I absolutely recommend Dr. Kris and this practice. read more

I've been coming to see Kris since 2011, since then the cost of my medical bills have gone down substantially, think $300+ a month out of pocket for inhalers to $35-70 to see Kris! I started to bring my mom last year after a doctor diagnosed her with osteoarthritis and said unless she got routine steroid shots and took several medications she wouldn't be able to live life the way she was used to. After a few visits with Kris she was back in action and happier than ever. I highly recommend coming here, Kris and Adam are true assets to Atlanta. There have been days we've had to travel due to a family emergency etc but one of us was suffering and Kris has shifted his schedule around to accommodate us! Both Kris and Adam care about their patients, it's not just about a bunch of medicines or quackery as some people like to put it. & lastly, remember folks, a happy and healthy mom means a happy and healthy home! Oh and my four legged kiddo Duke loves the office and attention he gets. So let's be serious. How many other doctors offices do you get to take your dog to? Do yourself a favor and let Kris & Adam check your spine out for you! You'll thank them & you'll appreciate the sticker when you get one! read more

I have been going to Dr. Adam for over a year now, which has allowed me to live back pain-free. Before I started seeing him, I couldn't ride in the car or sit at a desk for longer then an hour without pain. He is extremely knowledgable and passionate about chiropractic care and explains everything thoroughly. It is clear to me that he genuinely cares about the well-being of his patients. Everyone there is friendly and laid-back, yet professional. I cannot say enough great things about Virginia Hill Chiropractic! read more

Dr. Adam is awesome. I've had several chiropractors over the years and definitely benefit from the practice. Adam is very thorough, professional, and personable. I've had fantastic results from my visits and highly recommend Virginia Hill Chiropractic and Dr. Adam! read more

i have been a patient here for at least six months now. This place at the people who work there are excellent at their job. Very good at explaining what they are doing and why they are doing it. Adam has been working on my back the whole time i have been there and i could not have asked for a more attentive, professional and not to mention funny person. They have made me feel so relaxed and comfortable i think i actually fell asleep fro a moment on their back-cracker - which is so comfortable. I would highly recommend this place to anyone who has back problems. read more

Outstanding service, very professional. I was able to obtain a last minute appointment on New Year's Eve with Dr. Adam. After this appointment I had the first pain free night of sleep in weeks! Their services were covered under my insurance. I highly recommend Virginia HIll Chiropractic! read more

I started seeing Dr. Kris this summer after my boyfriend had only glowing things to say about him and great results. Having gone through serious back surgery a few years ago, I was hesitant, but desperately needed relief from neck and lower back pain. I can't say enough great things about Kris and how much better I feel! I didn't fully appreciate how bad my neck was until I regained a full range of motion after a few visits. Everyone at Virginia Hill Chiropractic is professional, approachable and focused on each patient's individual needs. They've been such a great find! read more

I highly recommend Dr. Peterson. I went in for discomfort in my neck and tingling in my arms. Dr. Peterson treated the condition successfully but also suggested that he could help with my chronic acid reflux, for which I had been taking daily medication (proton-pump inhibitors) for more than ten years. While skeptical, I agreed to give it a shot, and within a month or so I was off the medication and feeling fine. Visits were initially about twice a week but have tapered off now to twice a month. The practice runs smoothly and I can almost always get an appointment when I want one, even on short notice. read more

I've been treated by Chiropractors in Chicago and NYC with good success, but I can honestly say the Kris here in Atlanta has been the best. He really knows his stuff, and is extremely precise with his adjustments, resulting in what I believe are shorter recovery times. Also Virgina Hill Chiropractic offers really reasonable rates! And they will always squeeze you in if you run into sudden trouble (i.e. throw something out). Both Kris and Adam are kind easy going providers who really care. Even their receptionist is sweet and very helpful. I only wish they had weekend hours. read more

I'm on my way back for my second visit. Until yesterday I had never seen a chiropractor and honestly I didnt believe in them. Well let me tell you I BELIEVE now. I had injured my lower back a week ago and had tried everything I know to do, and nothing worked. I limped into there office yesterday morning and walked out feeling 100% better. Mind you I'm not healed completely, but I am on my way. I slept so good last night for the first time in over a week, woke up at 6:00am and cooked breakfast.(that never happens) I am so glad I gave them a chance. Dr.Adam is excellent, he explains all procedures every step of the way. Insurance or not, I will be coming to see him from this day forward. read more

I have been to multiple chiropractors in my travels around the US and these guys are the best. They take a lot of time to understand exactly what is wrong and they have a great sense of humor. read more

Dr Kris is a miracle worker. I was suffering from intense lower back pain, headaches, stiffness, and much more that kept me from enjoying most activities to include sleeping! I was finally at the end of my rope when I chose to see Kris and I am so glad I did! Kris is an extremely devoted Doctor that not only focuses on the treatment but also on education and prevention. I have been seeing Kris for several months now and can't even begin to describe the outstanding difference I am feeling. Highly recommended for those who truly need a cure for chronic back issues! read more

After reading previous reviews on Yelp, I decided to go see Dr. Kris. I have had sciatica that limited me from my very active life for two years. I have been through physical therapy, a chiropractor, tons of stretching, read a book on alleviating back pain, acupuncture - I tried just about everything short of voodoo. These efforts gave me improvement, but never completely healed me to the point where I could resume my active life. Upon moving to Atlanta from California, I found Dr. Kris on Yelp. It took several months, but my symptoms are gone. I had my doubts I would ever see my seemingly intractable sciatica diminish, but with Dr. Kris' work, I am all better. I cannot more highly recommend Dr. Kris for his quality, service, and great prices. read more

I was skeptical about chiropractic treatment but after my back pain became consistent I decided to give a shot. Dr Kris Peterson not only alleviated my back pain but also erased my chronic heartburn. For 13 years I have had chronic heartburn and had been on daily medication. Not anymore! Thanks Dr Kris Peterson! Highly recommend. read more

Dr. Adam was recommended to me by a colleague and I cannot say enough about this practice! They're the best. After my first session I felt 100 times better. After the second, I feel like a new person. I wish I'd found them sooner. Hands down the best I've ever experienced. Go. Now. read more

Virginia Hill Chiropractic is the real deal. Don't be fooled by fake chiropractors! I got drawn in by the "convenience" and alleged economy of the membership strip-mall chiropractors, and I ended up with a very painful injury that only got better when I was treated at Va Hill Chiropractic. I completely trust Dr. Adam to diagnose and treat and PREVENT me from getting into a condition where an injury occurs, and to make recommendations to help keep me pain-free. My body and my life just run better when I stick with Va Hill Chiro. Specifically, I really appreciate the fact that Adam diagnoses and adjusts what needs to be adjusted instead of using the "crack everything and hope something goes back into the right place" method used by other joints. I have also been taking my 12 yr old daughter there for help since she was in 4th grade and had back issues from carrying too many heavy things to school. Very gentle and effective care from Adam! read more
