Chiropractic care is often associated with only neck and back pain. In reality, it includes far more than just treatment for spinal issues.

“Chiropractic actually extends to extremity pain, athletic improvement, injury rehabilitation, headache treatment, vertigo treatment, and much more,” says Dr. Daniel Turner, owner and director of DT Chiropractic in Canton and Cartersville.

Chiropractic treatment is a noninvasive health care discipline with a hands-on approach, focused on the neuromusculoskeletal system.

Service, Not Sales

“At DT Chiropractic, we try to treat everyone like they are the most important person that we know,” says Dr. Turner. “We spend time with our patients, gaining insight into their problems, and come up with an individually tailored treatment approach. We want them to recover as quickly as possible, just as if they were a family member.”

Chiropractors are trained as “point-of-entry” doctors, being able to assess and refer out any conditions they see. At DT Chiropractic, the doctors and their assistants use a mix of specialized equipment (electrical stimulation and ultrasound), along with post-isometric stretching, rehabilitative exercises, and other techniques. They combine acute injury care with rehabilitative and performance improvement exercises to return their patients to a level better than before their injury.

“We offer a relaxed atmosphere without selling patients any treatment packages or products like some others do. Our patients receive treatment on day one without being pressured into any long-term commitment. And we never force patients to take unnecessary X-rays (some other offices do) in order to scare patients into receiving care,” says Rhiannon Turner, who is Dr. Turner’s wife as well as the personal injury coordinator at DT Chiropractic.

She adds that most major insurance companies, such as Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, and Humana, cover chiropractic visits.

“Patients will have their standard co-pay if their deductible is met. Otherwise, we offer a fantastic cash rate for patients without insurance,” Rhiannon says.

A Growing Practice

Because of Dr. Turner’s background, he refers to himself as an “anti-chiropractic chiropractor.” With a father who was a family practice physician, Dr. Turner originally planned to become an orthopedic surgeon. He earned a bachelor’s degree in neurobiology from the University of California, Irvine, before his career trajectory changed.

“I was a national champion in jiu-jitsu, fighting professionally in mixed martial arts, when I was injured. I visited an orthopedic surgeon but had a bad experience,” Dr. Turner says. “Sponsored by a chiropractor at the time, I turned to him for help. After the initial visit, my condition improved significantly. I immediately reevaluated and switched my career path.”

Dr. Turner later received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Southern California University of Health Sciences. He moved to Canton 10 years ago and established his current practice in 2013 after buying the practice of a retiring chiropractor.

The DT Chiropractic treatment team continues to grow. Besides the group of chiropractic assistants and interns, two associate chiropractors have been added. Dr. Ryan Petrini came to the Canton location two years ago, after graduating from Life University in Marietta. Dr. Christopher Davis practices at the Cartersville location and is an experienced chiropractor who has spent numerous years treating personal injury patients.

Dr. Turner is involved with numerous local organizations. He is very thankful for this community and supports it in turn. He is involved with many sports programs and currently serves as the president of the Cherokee Warrior Baseball Booster Club.

Two notable distinctions about Dr. Turner — He is an examiner for the National Board of Chiropractic Examiners, where he is responsible for testing graduating students for licensure; he also serves as an extension faculty member for Life University, training and tutoring chiropractic interns.

Specializing in Treating Sports and Car Accident Injuries

Dr. Turner has worked with the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim, the Los Angeles Kings, many Olympic athletes, and numerous other professional athletes.

“Our chiropractic doctors and assistants are experienced in assessing and treating sports-related injuries,” he says. “We offer $20 visits for student athletes whenever needed. Also, county employees (first responders, court employees, and others) can be treated for $25.”

DT Chiropractic further specializes in treating auto accident injuries. Rhiannon is experienced in handling these complex cases, helping to ensure that nothing falls through the cracks.

The professional staff at DT Chiropractic wants to be north Georgia’s go-to place for the best treatment with the quickest outcomes.

“We are committed to helping clients reach great outcomes,” Dr. Turner says.
