Auto Accident Injury
Auto accidents can cause all sorts of injuries, from whiplash and neck pain to more severe injuries that require medical treatment. If you have been in an auto accident, it can be important to seek medical attention right away, as the symptoms of these injuries may not appear for several hours or even days after the accident.
There are a number of treatment options available for auto injuries that persist even well after the accident, including chiropractic care. If you are suffering from whiplash or other neck pain because of your auto accident, it can be important to work with a qualified chiropractor with us at Horizon Health Care Group in Sandy Springs, GA, Decatur, GA, Morrow, GA, and Atlanta, GA, who can help alleviate your symptoms and get you back on the road to recovery.
Chiropractic Care for Auto Accident Injuries
Chiropractic care can be an effective treatment for auto accidents injuries, including whiplash and neck pain. Chiropractors are trained to diagnose and treat musculoskeletal injuries and can provide relief from the pain associated with auto accident injuries. Through various techniques, such as manual adjustments, manipulations, and therapeutic exercises, our chiropractors can help to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function.
Manual adjustments are a common technique used by our chiropractors to treat auto accident injuries. During the adjustment, a chiropractor on our team may use his or her hands to apply a controlled force to joints of the body in order to improve mobility and reduce pain. Manual adjustments can be used to help restore joint mobility and alignment that may have been lost after an auto accident.
Whiplash
Whiplash is one of the most common auto accident injuries, caused by sudden jerking of the neck due to a rapid acceleration or deceleration. It is characterized by neck pain and stiffness, headaches, shoulder pain, and arm numbness or tingling. Other symptoms can include fatigue, dizziness, blurred vision, cognitive difficulties, and irritability.
Neck pain
Neck pain is a common injury resulting from auto accidents and can have lasting effects. It is often caused by whiplash, which is when the neck is suddenly jerked due to a rapid acceleration or deceleration during an auto accident.

Activator Method
The Activator is the most widely used chiropractic instrument. Studies show improvement with the Activator Method. It also has been compared to other techniques and proven to be just as effective. This means that for many patients an Activator adjustment could very well lead to the same outcome as a manual adjustment. This offers chiropractors and patients an alternative to manual adjusting when it is preferred for clinical reasons.
ART (Active Release Technique)
Active Release Technique (ART) is a soft tissue therapy designed to rid injured areas of scar tissue. Here at Horizon Health Care Group we incorporate ART in our treatment of musculoskeletal disorders to remedy injuries such as carpal tunnel syndrome, shin splints, rotator cuff injuries, sciatica, plantar fasciitis, knee problems, tennis elbow, headaches, and back pain. All of theses conditions tend to have one thing in common: the result of an overused muscle.
We are all prone to over-using muscles while at work and in our daily lives, no matter the occupation. Overuse Syndrome is common in our society. As a result of our work duties, athletic events and daily lives, we are all at risk of developing this syndrome due to repetitive stresses on the same structures. These stresses may not be painful at first, but the body learns to compensate for long term use resulting in the soft tissue adapting and changing over time.
Chiropractic Care
At Horizon Health Care Group, we are proud to serve the communities of Sandy Springs, Morrow, Atlanta, and Decatur with our comprehensive chiropractic care. Our experienced chiropractors are dedicated to relieving various ailments, including back pain treatment, sciatica treatment, and headaches and migraines management.
What is Chiropractic Care?
Chiropractic care is a natural, non-invasive, and drug-free approach to healing and maintaining a healthy body. It focuses on diagnosing and treating neuromuscular disorders, emphasizing the spine’s critical role in overall health. Chiropractic care can significantly improve an individual’s quality of life by restoring normal function to the musculoskeletal and nervous systems.
What to Expect
When visiting Horizon Health Care Group, you can expect a thorough examination to understand your needs and concerns. Our chiropractor will evaluate your medical history, perform a physical exam, and, if necessary, utilize diagnostic imaging to identify the root cause of your pain or discomfort.
Once we clearly understand your condition, we will develop a personalized treatment plan to address your unique needs. Your chiropractic adjustment sessions will typically include manual adjustments, where our skilled chiropractors apply controlled force to realign your spine, improve joint mobility, and alleviate pressure on your nervous system. Our team will continuously monitor your progress throughout your treatment journey and adjust your care plan as needed.
Types of Chiropractic Care
At Horizon Health Care Group, we offer a wide range of chiropractic services, including:
- Back Pain Treatment: Our chiropractors use various techniques to relieve chronic and acute back pain, ensuring long-term spinal health.
- Sciatica Treatment: We focus on reducing the pressure on the sciatic nerve, relieving pain, numbness, and tingling associated with sciatica.
- Headaches and Migraines: Chiropractic care can help alleviate tension headaches and migraines by addressing misalignments in the spine and neck, promoting optimal nervous system function.
- Manual Adjustments: Our chiropractors use their hands or specialized tools to apply controlled force to specific joints, realigning the spine and promoting proper nervous system function.

So contact us today to schedule your appointment for a chiropractic adjustment and take the first step towards a pain-free and active life.
Corrective Exercises
Corrective exercises are the use of bodily movements and/or postures to restore desirable changes in diseased or injured tissues. The corrective exercises are movement strategies that minimize or eliminate compensation. Corrective exercises should precede more integrated exercises, because they can cue the patient’s motor system to respond in a more desirable way and assist in removing or improving biomechanical constraints.
Cryotherapy
Cryotherapy is a pain treatment that uses the method of localized freezing temperatures to kill irritated nerves. Cryotherapy is used to also treat some cancer areas as well as abnormal skin cells by dermatologists. Cryotherapy works by climbing into a specialized chamber that harnesses the power of liquid nitrogen and refrigerated cold air. It will rapidly cool off your entire body and will stimulate your sympathetic nervous system through your skin’s cold receptors.
Diversified Technique
The goal of the Diversified Technique is to reduce nerve interference. There are no special or unique procedures needed. Patients are assessed using these various mechanisms: history and basic examination (orthopedic and neurologic), palpation, x-ray, leg checks and reflex procedures as well as others.
The procedure involves analyzing the full spine and extremities. The majority of adjustments used in Diversified are manual adjustments, HVLA (high velocity, low amplitude), or long lever manipulations aimed at cavitating the joint and creating an audible release. This sound is known by patients as the “popping” or “cracking” sound associated with adjustments. Some chiropractors utilize specialized equipment such as drop tables or pelvic blocks.
Electrical Stimulation
Electrotherapy is an alternative pain management treatment option that involves the use of mild electromagnetic pulses to provide relief for the patient. This treatment option can dull pain, repair tissue, strengthen muscles, and even improve your blood circulation.
Lifestyle Advice
Our team here at Horizon Health Care Group is dedicated to helping you achieve your long-term health and wellness goals by offering you reliable lifestyle advice. If you are not sure if the lifestyle choices you are making are worsening or improving your condition, we are here to help. We address the typical chiropractic issues as well as coach our patients to live a healthier life by looking at the individual as a whole mentally, physically and emotionally.
Massage Therapy
Massage therapy is the manual manipulation of soft body tissues (muscle, connective tissue, tendons and ligaments) to enhance a person’s health and well-being. There are many types of massage therapy methods (also called modalities). People seek massage therapy for a variety of reasons; for example, to reduce stress and anxiety, to relax muscles, to rehabilitate injuries, to reduce pain and to promote overall health and wellness.
Myofascial Release
Myofascial release is an intervention administered to various patients to alleviate pain or restrictive tissue problems. The release treatment usually involves the application of gentle or moderate pressure on the connective tissues and leads to relaxation and eventual elongation of the fascia therein. These restrictions are often caused by traumatic accidents or inflammations of the soft tissue. Some patients get them as an after-effect of surgery. They always result in muscular tension and spasm of sharp pain. They cannot be detected through standard diagnosis tests like the x-ray scan. It is essential for a patient to visit a doctor or physiotherapy expert once they notice restriction of movement in the hip area or shoulder. Painful backs can also be a sign of the restriction and can only be treated through the Myofascial Release procedures.
If you have never undergone a Myofascial Release procedure before, you might wonder what will be done. There is no need to panic any way, since it is a minor therapy intervention meant to alleviate any pain that could be as a result of fascia muscle pain and restriction. Here is what you can expect if you visit a standard therapist for your myofascial pain treatment.
- The therapist might have to interview you about what you think the cause of the pain could be. They may also palpitate the affected area to identify the particular fascia that needs to be massaged and given due attention during the procedure.
- A standard treatment should last anywhere from 30 minutes to one hour, but should not last longer than that as that may lead to soreness and fatigue.
- You may experience considerable relief, but if the case is severe, you may need to go for another session or two in the subsequent days.
- The treatment does not require the use of any equipment and creams or gels. The therapist will only need their hands to manipulate and apply slight pressure to the trigger points and affected muscles.
Nutritional Consultations
Here at Horizon Health Care Group we want to help you on your journey towards health and wellness. Our goal is to help you achieve total health and balance with your body. In order to achieve that goal, we are here to offer specific recommendations on nutritional supplements and healthy food choices to help you maintain a healthy weight.
Pediatric Chiropractic
At Horizon Health Care Group, your child’s health is our top priority. Children often injure themselves, leaving them with prolonged pain and discomfort. While chiropractic care is often associated with adults, it’s also a safe and effective option for children. Pediatric chiropractic care focuses on diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal disorders in children. By using spinal manipulation techniques and manual therapies, such as soft tissue mobilization, chiropractors can help restore your child’s body’s natural balance and reduce pain.
Why is Pediatric Chiropractic Care Important?
Children are very active and are at a higher risk of injuring their spines than adults due to all the running and playing they do. However, children often won’t tell their parents when they hurt themselves for fear of punishment. Therefore, they may have several areas of their spines that are out of place, leading to issues with their spine and overall health. That’s why it’s essential to bring your child for a pediatric adjustment or exam.
When it comes to choosing your children’s chiropractor, you need someone you can trust. At Horizon Health Care Group, we are committed to relieving your child’s pain and helping them live life pain-free. We strive to provide your child with lasting pain relief and educate them on avoiding future problems.
What to Expect from a Pediatric Chiropractor
At Horizon Health Care Group, our pediatric chiropractors will conduct a thorough examination and discuss any current or past injuries that could contribute to your child’s pain. They’ll also review your child’s medical history and lifestyle to tailor treatment options and solutions specifically for your child. We aim to provide a comprehensive treatment plan to help achieve long-term relief and improve your child’s health and well-being.
Types of Pediatric Chiropractic Care
Several types of pediatric chiropractic care are available. We offer a range of services to help our young clients find relief from pain and discomfort, such as pediatric adjustments. Our focus is on your child’s overall health, which means we not only want to address the root causes of their pain and discomfort, but we also aim to take preventative measures to avoid future problems.
Our skilled team of chiropractors is led by our clinic director, Dr. Justin Broe. Our doctors are devoted to going the extra mile to accommodate our patients and developing comprehensive treatment plans for you and your child.

Pediatric Ailments
Our children deserve the best healthcare possible, which involves seeking different treatments for their needs. While traditional medical treatments are the go-to, chiropractic care can offer a non-invasive method of addressing pediatric ailments. Here are some common conditions that pediatric chiropractic care can treat. In the article below, learn more about our Horizon Health Care Group in Sandy Springs, GA, Morrow, GA, Atlanta, GA, and Decatur, GA.
Posture
Poor posture creates various issues, such as back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, herniated discs, and other painful conditions. While your child might not feel the effects of crouching forward to stare at a screen or lugging a heavy backpack to school daily, practicing improper posture techniques will become an issue later in life. With chiropractic care, we can help reduce the risk of poor posture early and teach them ways to care for their bodies to ensure optimal future health.
Skin Infections
Children are susceptible to skin infections like rashes, hives, warts, acne, birthmarks, and more. Viral, fungal, or bacterial infections and dermatitis can cause them. For example, eczema can flare up and make your child’s skin itchy and dry. Meanwhile, diaper rash is caused by fungi or bacteria growing in the moisture in your baby’s diaper.
Usually, the body heals itself, but for that to happen, your child needs a strong immune system. When chiropractors correct a misaligned spine, they create stronger immune responses. This response allows children to fight off skin infections faster.
Sore Throat
Improving your child’s immune system functioning isn’t just about treating skin infections. It can be distressing when your child has a sore throat, especially if it’s accompanied by other symptoms like cough, fever, cold, or the flu. As well as improving your child’s immune system, when we repair alignment, we increase lung function, helping your child heal quicker.
Sleep Problems
Sleep is crucial for your child’s development, but getting them to fall asleep can be challenging. Pediatric chiropractic care helps us identify ways to improve your child’s sleep quality, so they have the energy to enjoy their daily activities.
At Horizon Health Care Group, your child’s body is growing alarmingly. Clothes that fitted them a year ago are now too small, and their height increases rapidly during those early years. Visiting a pediatric chiropractor ensures your child grows into a healthy adult.
Schedule an Appointment with Us

Physiotherapy
It is important to understand that often times where the pain presents is not the area that needs to be treated. The pain may be due to that area compensating and being over-worked from another area not pulling its weight. Our rehabilitation program includes strength, flexibility and agility training as well as training focused on coordination of body parts and motion to prepare the individual to return to full participation.
Pre/Postnatal Chiropractic
Pregnancy is an amazing journey, but it presents some challenges. As your body prepares for childbirth, it goes through changes and also adds pressure on your musculoskeletal system, which can cause pain and discomfort. At Horizon Health Care Center, which serves Sandy Springs, GA, Morrow, GA, Atlanta, GA, and Decatur, GA, we offer prenatal chiropractic care to help you enjoy a healthy pregnancy and delivery.
Benefits of Chiropractic Care During Pregnancy
Our chiropractors can provide treatments that benefit your body and overall health. Many people seek chiropractic care during pregnancy for pelvic balance and alignment. The cause of pain or discomfort during pregnancy is often misalignment. Our chiropractors can help with realignment to provide more room for the baby and make the mother feel more comfortable.
The Role of Your Pelvis in Pregnancy
The pelvis is critical in supporting the uterus and helping the development of the baby. However, the pelvis can become misaligned as the baby grows, which is due to the protruding abdomen, increased spinal curvature, and pelvic and postural changes.
Correcting a Misaligned Pelvis
A misaligned pelvis can make it difficult for the baby to be in the best possible position for delivery. Breech and posterior positions can interfere with labor and require a C-section. However, our chiropractors can help provide balance for the pelvis and reduce the stress on the uteri’s and supporting ligaments. When the pelvis is balanced, this can allow for the optimal fetal position and lead to a smoother and safer delivery.
Managing Pregnancy Symptoms
Pregnancy can be uncomfortable, especially toward the end. Chiropractic care helps control nausea, back pain, neck pain, joint pain, and even prevent the need for a C-section. In addition, prenatal chiropractic adjustments and care can reduce discomfort and improve your quality of life.
Visit us for Chiropractic Care
Chiropractic care during pregnancy can be beneficial for your whole body, as it keeps the spine aligned and improves how your nervous system and reproductive system function. At Horizon Health Care Group in Sandy Springs, GA, Morrow, GA, Atlanta, GA, and Decatur, GA, we work closely with you and make sure you and your baby are safe during each stage of pregnancy.

Non-Surgical Treatment

Effective Pain Relief
Our chiropractor uses spinal decompression therapy to address back, neck, and shoulder pain effectively. The treatment targets the source of pain, providing lasting relief.
Improved Mobility and Function
Spinal decompression therapy helps improve your mobility and overall function by reducing pressure on the spine. As a result, you’ll experience an increased range of motion and a better quality of life.
Prevention of Further Issues
Spinal decompression therapy not only alleviates pain but also helps prevent further complications. In addition, the treatment helps maintain spinal health, reducing the risk of future issues.
How Spinal Decompression Therapy Works
Spinal decompression therapy involves a specialized table and computer-controlled traction system. The process gently stretches the spine, relieving pressure on the discs and nerves. This decompression promotes the flow of essential nutrients, oxygen, and fluids to the affected areas, promoting healing and reducing inflammation.
Who Can Benefit from Spinal Decompression Therapy?
Our chiropractor may recommend spinal decompression therapy to patients suffering from various conditions, including:
- Herniated or bulging discs
- Degenerative disc disease

Spinal Screenings
Sometimes all that stands between your daily pain and a happier, healthier you, is a chiropractic adjustment. Your body naturally wants to be in alignment, and our daily activities can throw what is naturally aligned out of balance. Also known as chiropractic manipulation, manual manipulation, or spinal manipulation, chiropractic adjustment refers to the manipulation of the vertebrae that have abnormal movements and are not functioning properly. Here at Horizon Health Care Group, we can help you achieve balance and proper alignment, giving you relief and improving your health.
Our goal in treating your joint and spinal issues is to reduce subluxation, increase range of motion, reduce nerve irritability, and improve mobility. Our highly skilled chiropractor will work with you to relieve your pain and get you back to living a pain free and healthy lifestyle.
Weight Loss
Weight loss is something with which millions of people struggle. As you know, your weight doesn’t just contribute to your physical appearance. Your weight and the amount of fat in your body can help or hurt your body by contributing to either a healthy physique or lead to medical issues such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and heart disease. Weight loss is not just about restricting calories, which is what most people try to do. Weight loss is really about correcting your nutrition, managing your stress, and for some, working with or around chronic diseases and medical conditions.
Worker’s Compensation
Worker’s compensation is a form of insurance that replaces lost wages and pays for medical and chiropractic care for people injured on the job. It typically covers a number of injuries that can happen to nearly any worker. These injuries may occur as a result of a slip and fall accident, tripping over a hazard or on an unsafe surface, or falling off a ladder. For some workers, workers’ compensation will cover injuries that happen while the worker is driving or traveling as part of his or her work duties.
Musculoskeletal disorders affect a person’s muscles, bones, joints and connective tissue, such as tendons and ligaments.
A number of musculoskeletal disorders can keep a worker off the job, including:
- Sprains, strains, and tears
- Back pain
- Neck pain
- Carpal tunnel syndrome and other repetitive stress injuries
- Headaches and migraines
X-Rays
One of the most important elements of chiropractic care is diagnostics. Chiropractic radiology is a tool utilized in care as a diagnostic practice to rule out pathology (such as possible tumor or fracture) and/or an additional aid to determine where to adjust the spine. Chiropractors rely on a variety of diagnostic techniques in order to fully understand what is occurring in the patient’s musculoskeletal system, and how a given treatment intervention could bring about positive results in each patient.
