My son and I were Geocaching (treasure hunting and hiking) and I went to bend down to see if the "prize" was under a rock I felt a slight pain in my back. The pain didn't seem to be too bad, so we kept on treasure hunt. About an hour later I had to sit down and rest. I felt good until I stood up. The pain in my lower back was so intense that I had to sit down again. After some time I was able to walk very slowly back to my car. A neighbor of mine was outside and saw that I wasn't doing so well when I got out of my car. He recommended Dr. Ekberg before, but I always thought chiropractors were quacks. Of course it was a Saturday, but luckily Dr. Ekberg's office was open and they were able to see me right away. Dr Ekberg changed my mind about chiropractors. What he explained made perfect sense. I am a programmer, so I sit at a desk for hours a day. The chiropractor, Dr. Ekberg, explained that your body is smart and it uses the "use it or lose it" mentality. By sitting at the desk all day, and not working out much, my body didn't have to use the muscle to bend over. Over time not only did I lose the strength of the muscle in that area, my brain connection for that body part got also weaker. He explained something about learning to play piano also strengthens the synapses in the brain, so that is why after a while playing piano is very easy to do. When I walked out of his office I was pain free. I felt a little sore, but I could walk normal. Monday I saw him again and I felt great. I see Dr Ekberg on a regular basis now and trust him. Thank you so much Dr. Ekberg. The other reviewer was correct when he said Dr. Ekberg doesn't just pop your neck, charge you and send you on your way. Dr. Ekberg really does care about my health. read more

Dr Ekberg is a great chiropractor that delivers a high quality of care and outstanding customer experience each and every visit. One of the hardest things you face when you move cities is to find a great network of people you can trust to manage your health, sanity and other personal tasks. But I am happy to report thanks to other Yelpers I was able to find the right provider for my back pain on the first attempt with Wellness For Life Chiropractic and Dr Ekberg. From the moment you step through the door you are greeted by super friendly and totally awesome people that make you feel at ease despite being in pain. During your first few visit Dr Ekberg takes the time and he walks through the whole process of what chiropractic care is, level set expectations and present a personalized treatment program that meets your individual needs. In all my years of seeing chiropractors this was the first time I have had such a detailed and personal introduction session. It gave me peace of mind that I had found the right place. Since then, 2 weeks have past and I could not be happier. Dr Ekberg continues to show a high level of care and delivers consistently outstanding adjustments. But what I love most is the high level of passion and friendliness from not only Dr Ekberg but his whole team. I do love going to the chiropractor as it means I am going to learn more about health and how the body works. Good chiropractors are hard to find and this one is definitely a keeper. I have no hesitations recommending Wellness For Life Chiropractic and Dr Ekberg to my friends and family. I highly recommend the massage there too. read more

Highly Recommended Chiropractor!!! I slept wrong and normally I would ride it out for about a week or two, but this time I thought I would see if a chiropractor could help. Due to Dr. Ekberg's excellent reviews I thought I would try him. Dr Ekberg explained very simply that the brain controls everything from your heart beat to signals of feeling pain. Pain is the body's way of telling me something is not right in my body. It is not that I slept wrong. Many times I have slept like I was in Cirque Du Soleil and never had an issue. The problem was already there before I went to sleep. I learned that this is the beginning signals that my body is not working at 100%. These little pains are early warning signals for me to know that I need to get healthy before I end up with something like diabetes, heart disease, or even cancer. Dr Ekberg explained that stress (structural emotional physical) is the issue in most chronic diseases and many times why we feel pain. Well I just changed jobs, so yes I am stressed. He explained that stress is not always something we are aware that over 95% is subconscious. I was out of pain by the time Dr Ekberg finished. For all the time, personal attention, and care that Dr. Ekberg puts into his patients he is underpaid. I highly recommend Dr. Ekberg for not only pain relief but to be the healthiest you can be. read more

I am a student at college. Sitting in class all day and evening studies had left me with overall body stiffness and aches. It would wake me up at night. Getting ready for school in the morning was tough because of the stress from inadequate sleep and muscle tension. I tried stretching and taking ibuprofen but neither worked. It was becoming difficult to sit through classes and my concentration was suffering. I started hearing positive things about Dr. Ekberg's Wellness For Life in Cumming, Ga., so I made an appointment. It's one of the best things I've ever done for myself. My first visit virtually eliminated all of my joint stiffness. When I returned, I decided to add a therapeutic massage and the combined results were remarkable. My concentration has improved and my energy level has risen. I have been sleeping better than ever. I highly recommend Dr. Ekberg's Wellness For Life for everyone. His seminars are informative and his staff is amazing!! They truly care about your overall health inside and out. Kaitlyn R.

Dr. Ekberg is extraordinary! He is a true professional who makes positive health results come to life for his patients. And on top of that he is a great person to deal with. Very customer service oriented.. Highly recommended. Whereas, there are Chiropractors are all over the city of Atlanta.. some treat their "patients" as though they were a car in for repairs. They can be impersonal, shuttling you in and out as fast as they can, doing the absolute minimum for the billing code. This type of Chiropractor is what give the entire practice a somewhat bad reputation. Dr. Ekberg is NOT of that type. He takes wonderful care of his patient and seeks first to understand the comprehensive causal source of health problems a patient may suffer from. Then, and only then, does he address the cause as well as alleviating the symptom. He makes sure that you are well cared for and that you leave the office better off than you came in, both physically and mentally. I give Dr. Ekberg my highest recommendation.. He is just great.. read more

If you are tired of medical doctors giving you pill and not getting better. You have to give Dr. Ekberg a try. I used to be tired all the time, but 6 weeks later I have lots of energy and feel great. The way he analyzes functional blood chemistry is completely different from traditional healthcare. He actually gave me specific dietary and lifestyle changes along with some supplements which addressed my actual health weakness. That along with the chiropractic adjustments has made a world of difference. For years, I have been so tired. I went to top endocrinologist for thyroid issues, but all they would do is give me Synthroid, Armour, etc. They worked for a few weeks then I was tired, hair falling out and dry skin again. After doing what Dr. Ekberg suggested I no longer have thyroid issues (something medical doctors said was impossible) read more

Dr. E is an amazing chiropractor!! I have been bringing my family to Alpharetta Chiropractic - Wellness For Life, and my now 9 month old son has seen life changing improvements. We have been getting chiropractic adjustments for the past 2 months and the changes in my son and myself are wonderful. Before getting chiropractic adjustments my son would not sleep very often, and he had a lot of trouble eating. After the first chiropractic adjustment he started sleeping 12 hours a night and eating on a regular schedule. His weight has gone up and he is thriving! As a breastfeeding mom, I struggled to maintain my milk supply and had to pump several times a day and take herbal supplements. After getting chiropractic adjustments, my body has been making a full supply of milk. Totally life changing! Thanks Dr. E!!! read more

I've been doing the nutrition program for about 9 months now. I have JRA and suffered from migraines. I used to get exhausted mid day and unable to function without a 2 hour nap during lunch break. I'm so happy to report that most symptoms are obsolete. I can work a normal work day without a migraine, my digestion is normal for the first time I can remember. I'm on the lowest doses of JRA medicine and hopeful to eliminate that this year. As a 40+ year old, I feel healthier than I've ever felt! You have to give natural healing a chance before you decide to do what medical doctors say. Dr. Ekberg and Dr. Smith have the tools to restore health and happiness with nutrition response testing. They also have free seminars every Wednesday night at 6:30 to demonstrate how it can work for you! read more

I can't believe what what Dr. Ekberg has done to increase my mobility and virtually eliminate my pain. After seeing an orthopedic surgeon and undergoing physical therapy 5 years ago without success, I resigned myself to not running again and living with pain. I didn't think a chiropractor could help until two of my neighbors raved about the remarkable improvements they experienced from Dr. Ekberg's treatment. I began seeing Dr. Ekberg two months ago and have experienced dramatic results. I can run again without pain! My shoulder no longer droops, and my hips are no longer twisted. I just enjoyed a pain-free hike in the Berkshires that I never thought I would experience again. I can now sit straight, stand straight and walk straight without pain. Unbelievable. read more

I have gone to chiropractors my whole life, and I'm a big fan of alternative, complimentary, and holistic medicine as well. I've had a couple of back issues this year and needed to find a chiropractor who treated my issues with the chiropractic care I was used to. I don't like the chiropractors who adjust the same way every time I come in and then the next person gets the same adjustment. I came to Dr. Ekberg because of the glowing reviews, and I wasn't disappointed. I felt listened to and understood. I especially appreciate the education regarding what is happening with my back and overall health. Dr Ekberg listened and explained any questions I had in great detail. Great customer service, great practitioner and great skill. Love this place. read more

Dr. Ekberg adjustments are gentle but very effective. The adjustments last longer than any other adjustment from other chiropractors I have been too. I also feel better than I ever have. They have really late hours during the week and they are open on Saturday. On Saturday at 1pm they have a free talk open to anyone on different health topics like how to relax, blood sugar, anti-aging and more. I had been looking for awhile for a holistic doctor who could really help me understand what was going on with my body, stress and health. Dr. Ekberg not only addressed all aspects of my health he also took the time to explain so that I could understand. I have so much more joy and confidence in my body now along with being pain free. read more

I had never been to a chiropractor before going to Dr. Ekberg. He has restored my faith in getting well again. He is very good at explaining what true health is and how to stay that way. I went in with back pain, and mentioned that I had high blood sugar that my doctor had warned me that I need to get it lower. I didn't want to get on meds, so I was glad when Dr. Ekberg suggested some diet changes and some whole food supplements. After two months, I was wondering what the lab results would say. I convinced my medical doctor to test me again, and he said I don't have to worry about my blood sugar any more. I am so excited, and a bonus is that I no longer have back pain, fatigue or brain fog. read more

I was in a lot of pain before coming here. Dr. E has helped me not only get out of pain, but also with lowering my blood sugar. I was pre-diabetic, but my A-1 C is down to 5.3 and keeps getting better. I really like his approach to health. He really knows about how the body works and is very good at explaining it. He suggested nutrition changes, whole food natural supplements, breathing exercises, positive thinking, relaxing techniques and so much more. You can tell he really cares for his patients. I have already recommended him to friends and family, and many became patients after they saw my results. read more

Dr Ekberg was one of the few doctors that was very concerned about my health. He is more than just a spine doctor / chiropractor. He addresses the whole body. I really like that he sees all his patients. I had been to chiropractors before, but never saw the doctor. I see doctor Ekberg every time I go there. He is extremely gentle, and he is way under priced for all that he does. I love my Olympic Chiropractor. (He was in the 1992 Olympics) read more
