About Us
Chiropractic Healthcare of Buckhead is located in a privately owned, stand alone building with substantial free parking. Conveniently located on MARTA bus lines #38 & #42, only minutes from interstates I-75, I-85, I-400 and I-285 next door to the famous Frankie Allen Park and within walking distance of "The BIG Fish" and the "Buckhead Avenue" project between Peachtree and Piedmont Roads. We have been serving the greater Buckhead community in the same location since 1993, and have recently renovated our four exam/treatment rooms, waiting room and rehabilitation center.
Our mission at Chiropractic Healthcare of Buckhead is to educate and adjust as many families and athletes as possible toward optimal health through natural subluxation based Chiropractic Care. We provide affordable, high-quality care to all people of all ages. We strive to not only correct a person's health problems, but to educate and enlighten people so that they do not encounter similar problems in the future.

- In 1974 Dr. Salzinger experienced a serious skiing related injury. After 3 months of traditional drug and physical therapy treatments for a herniated disc and bilateral severe sciatica he was scheduled for a low back surgery. Fortuntely a good friend who was going to New York Chiropractic College at the time suggested he come in for a consultation and exam as "I could always go ahead with the surgery". The explanation of my condition from the chiropractic perspective just made sense. I proceeded with a regimen of regular subluxation based chiropractic adjustments and the rest is so to speak, history.
