Karen really helped me a lot quite recently when I was suffering from a lot of stiffness and a very limited range of motion in my neck and back. Not surprisingly, I was also going through a lot of personal/emotional stress at the same time, and Karen's adjustments and her compassionate and caring manner were a really huge help to me. I have just (finally!!!) gotten a job up in Maryland and am moving away from Atlanta, but, if I were staying around the area, I would definitely continue to see her on a regular basis. Pros: Skillful and Caring Cons: None

On January 2nd, two hours before I was to fly to Hawaii on a long planned & anticipated vacation with my family, I was in EXTREME pain. Somehow, two days earlier, I awoke with my jaw out of alignment, Moving or opening my mouth was excruciatingly painful, and chewing was out of the question. Because I guessed it was an alignment issue, I called Dr. K who was able to squeeze me in on short notice. The bottom line: she diagnosed my misalignment and used her activator effectively. Within 5 hours, my jaw was back in alignment and I could talk/eat/drink painfree for the first time in 48 hours. Our entire trip up to today has been pain free. Dr. K - thank you - you're a miracle worker!!!!

I threw my back out right before New Year's Eve, leaving me bed-ridden for about a week. I was hesitant to go to a chiropractor, seeing as though I've never been to one. I figured my back would just heal itself, especially since I'm still young (24) and never had any back problems. After a week with no improvement, I gave in and made an appointment to see Dr. Karen. I was incredibly nervous at first, but Dr. Karen made me feel very comfortable with the whole experience. She is a very kind, friendly person who I feel really tries to get to know her patients on a personal level. I don't know why I waited. After the first 2 visits, I was already feeling worlds better. She told me exactly what was causing the pain, and described what needed to be done to fix it. Her office hours are perfect for the 9-5 worker, being open until 7pm Monday-Thursday. She is also open on Saturdays by appointment, which is really great. After the first visit, I didn't even need to make an appointment, I just dropped in, and in about 20 minutes I was out the door and on with my day. I am so glad that I found Dr. Karen. I highly recommend her for anyone who has never been to a chiropractor, or to anyone who is not 100% satisfied with their current chiropractor! She is great! Pros: Convenient Office Hours, Minimal Waiting, Great Care

Dr. Karen truly is a miracle worker - she has the gift of touch, of communication, of education and of heart. I began seeing her in 2007 for an unusual complaint: damage to my body from two hospital diseases (MRSA staph infection and necrotizing fasciitis). After working with numerous doctors, physical therapists, medications, etc., a friend recommended that I try Dr. Karen. Not only has she provided immense relief from chronic pain, but she has put me on the path to permanent, better health. I no longer use a walker, the damage from both diseases has been minimized, and I experience immediate change and relief from the moment she finishes an adjustment. All this, despite the prediction of medical doctors! On a side note, Dr. Karen crosses paths with many different people from all walks of life. Her heart/intuition have provided her with the gift of being a "Connector," defined as a person who "connects" people, based on need, within the community. (Source: Dr. Malcolm Gladwell's book _The Tipping Point_). I highly recommend Dr. Karen Joanson-Scott, and would happily supply any references needed by potential/new patients.

I am Healed and Back in the ring! That's right, after months of sparring in the boxing ring, I finally broke down and went to see Dr. Karen to get treatment on my neck. Honestly, I let it get to the point where my neck was so sore, I could hardly turn my head. During my initial visit, Dr. Karen did a great job of explaining everything and exactly how the treatments would help my condition. After just a few adjustments, I felt so much better and was able to jump back in the ring and continue boxing. I can't thank Dr. Karen enough. If you need a good chiropractor, I would definitely recommend that you go see her. Pros: Experienced, Knowledgeable, Compassionate, Hours, etc. Cons: None

My daughter dances for the Atlanta Ballet and experiences severe back pain at times. She has seen several chiropractors for this condition but was not getting the full relief she needed. The day she went to see Dr Joanson she was experiencing severe back pain and could not take a deep breath. Through the advanced tecnological equipment Dr Joanson uses she was able to identify where her pain was (and that she had a rib out of place) and through her adjustment she was able to provide the relief my daughter has so desperately needed. Thank you Dr Joanson for helping my daughter and for helping me as well. You are the best!
