It is with profound gratitude and joy that I recommend Dr. Karen Ferguson and Ferguson Family Chiropractic in Acworth, GA. My Atlanta journey to healing has been long and challenging, beginning over a decade ago as a new out-patient at the Shepherd Pain and Rehabilitation Center here in Atlanta. Thanks to their innovative care, I was able to transition out of a wheelchair after seven years of confinement due to a disability caused by a New York podiatrist: disabiling me completely at 48 years of age in 2005. The best pain management doctors in New York City finally told me there was no hope for my recovery or my ability to live without prescribed opiates. Moving here to receive help from the doctors at Shepherd Center was a BIG step of faith and hope! They were quickly able to alleviate my pain without narcotics, and set me on a multi-year path of rehabilitation that was informed by their faith in God to heal, their innovative thinking and their amazingly consistent forward thinking, medical training and care! As I approached my sixth decade of life however, I found myself still struggling with pain, the remnants of years spent bed-bound and wheelchair-dependent. My spine was twisted, and my hips and back were misaligned, but I was unaware of the extent to which this was still affecting my well-being. I had long avoided chiropractic care due to a negative experience my mother had in the 1970s. However, faced with the realization that traditional physical and occupational therapy could no longer improve my condition, I found myself at a crossroads, contemplating a future reliant on prescription medications to manage my pain. It was at this point that I sought out Dr. Karen Ferguson for my first chiropractic assessment. Burdened by relentless pain that was diminishing my hard-won quality of life, I feared that I might once again become wheelchair-bound, or worse, bedridden again. My hope was fading, and I felt myself becoming invisible to those around me. Pain was stealing my time, my ability, my productivity, and even my spiritual light. I felt alone, stuck, and despairing, with no one to turn to. My prayers became desperate pleas for divine intervention. Dr. Karen's approach was nothing short of transformative. With her gentle voice, careful touch, and expert understanding of both my physical and emotional state, she not only provided treatment but also renewed my sense of hope. In her care, I felt seen, heard, and understood--a deeply comforting experience in what had become some of my darkest moments. Under Dr. Karen's watchful eye and expert touch, I began to heal. The connection I experienced between myself, my chiropractor, and my Creator allowed me to trust in the sacred process of recovery. Through consistent chiropractic treatment, I reclaimed activities that pain had once stolen from me. My joy was full! Dr. Karen is not only a skilled chiropractor but also a compassionate healer who understands the intricate connections between body, mind, and spirit. Her care has restored my faith in my body's ability to heal and has given me back the life I once thought was lost! Before chiropractic adjustments it had been impossible for me to sit, stand, walk, or bend without severe pain and I was always at risk of falling. Within a few mere months of committing to consistent chiropractic treatment at Ferguson Family Chiropractic, my body began to respond, and healing took place. Along with normal daily activities some of the first exciting activities I was able to enjoy under Dr. Karen's care included: * Traveling as a passenger by van for nearly 2,000 miles, (taking 6 days and following careful instructions to stop, move, and rest) to visit our military son and his family! * Walking with my family around the South Rim of the Grand Canyon. * Hiking easy trails in beautiful locations across Colorado and Arizona. * Camping and fishing with my children and grandchildren. * Driving myself in Atlanta traffic without crippling pain. * Bending and kneeling to plant flowers and bulbs in my backyard. With ongoing care at Ferguson Family Chiropractic since 2018 I have been able to: * Ride my own bike again. * Walk and jog in my first-ever 5k, earning a medal for placing first in my age group. * Buy a camper with my husband and travel for 14 weeks across the Western USA (and many trips since.). * Hike the Narrows at Zion and through massive canyon walls in Utah. * Climb the White Sands dunes in New Mexico. * Go to Alaska and hike to the base of a glacier waterfall to feel it's cold spray on my face. * Spend 10 days walking and enjoying rides at Disney with my hubby, daughter and grandson without needing the assistance of an electric scooter. * Experience various thrilling tram and gondola rides and to walk across the longest, highest swinging suspension bridge in Canada. * Go tubing with my family down The Little River in Tennessee.

At 75 years old I had been having some issues with Tinnitus. I tried OTC supplements and some specialty tinctures from my Naturopath. Nothing worked until Karen Ferguson told me she could help with some Cranial Sacral work. My Tinnitus has been reduced by 90%. What a blessing. read more

I wanted to give chiropractic a try to cure some issues I've had with my back. This is literally the only choice in metro Atlanta (for me). Drs. Karen and Ashely are AMAZING. They have tons of experience, really listen, and have made a real difference. The office is in Acworth, so prepare for a bit of a drive. I make the trek because I'd let no one else adjust me. The office is beautiful and has cute quotes and murals everywhere. There are tons of children at any given time. I love that they have a children's waiting room with lots of toys and games. The front staff is always friendly and addresses you by name. I love my Wednesday appointments best because it's Popcorn Wednesday - and this isn't any ole popcorn. It's legit. I can't get out of there with just one bag. It's so good! read more

See all

I was on vacation and got a terrible pain in my neck and shoulder. I was able to make a same day appointment and loved Dr. Ferguson. His staff was wonderful as well. Unfortunately I live at a state or he would definitely be my regular chiropractor. However, I will definitely plan to see him again. read more

My husband and I are both chiropractors and we had a birth trauma with our second child. We would not trust just anyone with adjusting our daughter, but Dr. Karen is the best of the best when it comes to pediatric chiropractic. Dr. Karen continuously reminded us to not lose hope, and to lean into our belief that the body is amazing and is made to heal. That is exactly what happened with our daughter. Dr. Karen helped to unlock her innate potential and we now have a happy, healthy daughter who is exclusively breastfeeding after being told that she may never be able to. We highly recommend Dr. Karen for your children and family. read more

I have been a client of Ferguson Family Chiropractic for almost one year and Dr. Ashley and Dr. Karen have been fantastic all along! Recently I injured my back and the further complicated my recovery when when I fell and landed directly on my hind end, including getting whiplash in the process. Over the last 12 days, Ashley and Karen have been working twice a day to improve my condition. Last night I waked out of the office feeling as good as I did prior to the initial injury. There is still soreness from the fall, but I was able to fully function!! Great work Dr. Ashley and Dr. Karen! You both are amazing and I cannot thank you enough!!! Don Wilczynski read more

Nothing has helped my leg pain more than coming to Ferguson!!! I feel like a different person. My husband saw the benefits and decided to join me, then my daughters who are dancers started coming! It has improved flexibility! My daughters love coming with us! It's a family event. Best choice for our family! read more

Ferguson Family Chiropractic has helped me in so many ways and I am very grateful. The entire office is very knowledgeable and very welcoming. When I originally started my plan with Dr Karen & Dr Ashley, I had random pains, my legs and arms constantly would fall asleep, my hands and feet were always freezing, laying on a flat hard surface (i.e. the floor to do exercises) would hurt or feel off, etc. Before my first adjustment I received a very through exam including x-rays and a thermal scan to evaluate the best plan of action to assist me on my way to be my best self. I am now free of those issues; I have more energy and I am more in tune with my body as a whole. When I first enter the building, whether I speak with Sarah, Drew or Janelle, I always receive a warm welcome and feel like part of the family. read more

We have been getting care with Dr. Karen for about 6 months now. We feel very lucky to have a doctor with Dr. Karen's expertise in our community. The vibe and energy of the practice is like SUNSHINE! The front desk is amazing and polite, Aida, Marsha, and Heidi are very personable. The kids ask us to go, even when we don't have days scheduled to be there. Dr. Karen always gives great information and advice on how to be more vitalistic in our lifestyle. She always answers our questions and never makes you feel rushed after an amazing spot on adjustment! Love it here! Thank you Ferguson Family Chiropractic. :-) read more

I LOVE Ferguson! Dr. Karen is wonderful, calming, and informative! The atmosphere is positive and encouraging! Plus, as a dancer, the adjustments I have received have aided my hips and back. Now I can do things that I struggled with a year ago! Also, they offer massage, and the male therapist Shay is amazing! He has a gentle touch but can also get deep into the muscles to work out big knots! read more

A short time ago I woke up with a pinched nerve that created so much pain in my back and left leg that I could hardly walk. Dr. Karen saw me on short notice, educated me on the foundations of Chiropractic, set forth a plan of treatment and had me back on my feet and ready for my backpacking trip in short time. At every point along the way, from my first call to the office, the check in process, the treatment, and follow up after my trip I was treated with so much care and respect and I saw the same thing for every person that came through the door. Dr. Karen and all of the others in the office are true professionals and great people. Thanks to all of you!!! read more

We're so thankful for Dr. Karen and the great staff at Ferguson Family Chiropractic! We first met Karen when our son was just 4 days old. We were looking for some help with his fussiness and breastfeeding issues. Dr. Karen was so helpful and our son was happier and latched better almost immediately after he was adjusted. We felt so loved and cared for at Ferguson Family Chiropractic! Since then, my husband, son and I see Dr. Karen every week. She has helped our family be healthier and happier. As first time parents we are so thankful to have the support and knowledge that Dr. Karen and her staff provide. I highly recommend this office to anyone, but especially to new moms! Dr. Karen has helped me to be at my best so I can take great care of my son and she always reminds me to take care of my mind and heart, as well as my body.

I've been seeing Dr. Karen since my car accident in March. I love her whimsically painted office and her charismatic staff. I've noticed my posture improving and pain lessening with my treatment. The office hours allow me to come after work and even on Saturday mornings! Perfect, since I have a demanding job!! While I'm not yet 100%, I know I'm in good hands here! read more

So today we took our other puppy Missy to see the Doctor. Missy has vertigo and was having issues with her balance. Right away the Doctor noticed the problem addressed it and on the way home Missy slept in the car. For a puppy to pass up a chance to stick their head out a window.....well I think that says it all. If you're looking for somewhere to go that CARES about you this is the place. They don't try to sell you anything, they just want you to have the best quality of life.

We love Dr. Karen! She helped our breech baby turn so we could have the birth we wanted. Since then, we have seen her as a family for the past 2.5 years. Our three children love her and she has helped us through several health challenges. It has been so easy to work with her office with our insurance and her staff calls to check on us when we get busy and they haven't seen us in a couple weeks. We are so thankful to have found Ferguson Family Chiropractic! read more

Dr. Karen is a true healer of the body, mind and soul. It is rare to meet someone whose light shines so bright from within. The fact that she is also a Dr is a blessing. I was told that my running days were over after my diagnosis of Osteopenia. I could not move without my hip pain causing spasms in my back. I was depressed and anxious. I refused to give into the pain pills, but was doubtful that anyone could help. My primary care doctor sent me to her chiropractor, Dr. Ferguson. I figured if my allopathic Dr was a believer and a huge fan of Dr. Karen then why not try. The minute you walk into Dr. Ferguson's office you know it is a place of hope and healing. Her office manager Drew is cheerful, professional, knowledgable and confident in the care you will be given at every appointment. He sets you at ease as do her interns. He is gracious and takes his time to help you at every visit. I have not had back spasms after my first adjustment. My hip pain disappeared soon after. Dr. Karen told me to run again when I felt ready and I am a runner again! Pain Free. It really is a miracle based on my prior diagnosis from a few months ago, one that I no longer believe I have. Tears of joy! Dr. Ferguson goes above and beyond at each appointment. She not only has healed my body, but she is a natural life coach. Her positive attitude has guided me out of my depression. She talks to you as the human you are and speaks from a deep knowledge base. I now run to celebrate the way my body carries me down the road and clears the cobwebs in my head. I also have a 12 year old dog who is a patient of Dr. Karen. He has been on antibiotics for three months and we were facing bladder surgery due to polyps and loss of bladder control. My dog who loves a long walk did not even want to go outside. You know a Dr is good when your anxious dog calmly sits for his adjustment. Miraculously, he wanted to go for a very long walk the first night he was adjusted. He even wanted to run a little. We have had no more accidents in the house and we walk every evening again. It sounds too good to be true, but it is absolutely a fact. Tears of joy again! Ferguson Family Chiropractic is a place like no other and I am full of gratitude and joy for it. I will continue to drive past countless other chiropractor and doctor offices in order to see a true healer. read more

We've been going to see Dr. Karen for 15 years now. She is wonderful and very knowledgable about chiropractic and living healthy. Back problems and head aches have severely decreased and my son is almost never sick. read more

Our family has been seeing Dr. Karen Ferguson for over 6 years. We love the family-friendly environment and the excellent health support we get every single time we visit! Dr. Karen truly invests in her patients and is always willing to go the extra mile to give advice and assistance with any questions or concerns. We love her and know that anyone else who places their care in her hands will, too! read more

I have been a part of the Ferguson Family Chiropractic FAMILY for 16 years!!! We started chiropractic when my three children were 3, 2, and under a year old. I felt like my kids were always coming down with something, so I started looking for what I could do to improve their immune systems. It was clear to me that what I had been trying (dr's appmts, constant medications) was not working. Finding Dr. Karen was such a blessing and perfectly timed in my life. I had known about chiropractic, but only the side of the practice that dealt with back injuries and the like. Dr. Karen TAUGHT me about the amazing abilities of the human body and SHOWED me how to work with my body and my children's bodies so that we could be healthier and ultimately live more fully. Dr. Karen is more than my family's chiropractor. SHE has been an angel, an advocate, and a dear friend. We see her every week and LOVE the journey she helped us embark on 16 years ago!! Chiropractic was the beginning of so many wonderful changes we made in our lives. It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This is especially true with our health. It doesn't happen overnight....neither does disease. But, we can take the first step and we'll be amazed where we will go and how grateful we'll be 1 month, 6 months, 1 year, and 16 years later. Get adjusted, get your kids adjusted. You will be amazed and become as excited about chiropractic as I am. Just wait and see. read more
