Chiropractor - Clinic Director
Jeffrey Stansberry D.C.
Dr. Stansberry graduated from Life University in Georgia and has been practicing since 1998. Being a Doctor of Chiropractic, he specializes in aligning the structural problems in your body. There are a variety of issues that can cause pain in the body and aggravate the nerves. One of the more common issues is trauma or daily use that causes misalignments within the spine.
Many times these issues can build up over years and go unnoticed. Being classified as merely only a headache, soreness, or “regular” back pain. In reality, often these are bigger structural problems that can create long-term issues if not addressed. Dr. Stansberry‘s passion is to help patients in a natural way without using drugs or surgery. Over his 20+ years of Chiropractic experience he has mastered a variety of techniques that help him accommodate any age, ability, or pain tolerance. Seeing the results day after day with his patients is the thing that gets him up in the morning and makes him enjoy what he does. With the assistance of his medical and therapy staff, in many cases, he has prevented more serious and permanent bodily altering measures from being taken on a patient. He believes Chiropractic should be a patient’s first step towards wellness, not their last. Dr. Jeff Stansberry and his staff are prepared and willing to help with one’s own path to wellness. With each patient on a case by case basis he makes a custom treatment plan for that person. The treatment plan that he develops is not only cost effective, but it's also made in an effort to make an impact on a patient’s condition to the highest degree that can be achieved. Here at Go Healthcare, Dr. Stansberry believes that Chiropractic can be a solution to many of life's ailments. However, if there are any issues he feels he can’t treat, he will make an appropriate referral to a doctor who is well fitted for the condition. Please schedule an appointment with us at Go Healthcare and we will find a way to assist you.
