Before beginning her chiropractic journey, she had the opportunity to live in Africa and work with missionaries through the International Mission Board.

Once Dr. Myers moved to North Carolina she worked under Dr. Daryl Ammons and received training by Dr. Roy Sweat in order to obtain her Board Certification in Atlas Orthogonal work in 2015. Dr. Myers feels blessed that she can go to work and see the miracles of chiropractic happen every day.

Dr Angel was a life (back) saver. I went to him in excruciating pain from three herniated discs. It was the worst pain ever. He had me back to normal, but limited activity in three weeks. Thank you Dr Angel, you really were one to me.

Having been a patient at Ammons Chiropractic for years, all I can say is they are wonderful. No cracking here. Just gentle manipulation and an offer of other services (be it exercise, infrared light, roller bed, traction, massage, just to name a few) to help keep a person well. The doctors and the staff are kind and knowledgeable. I highly recommend them.

AMMONS CHIROPRACTIC CLINIC

Our Doctors provide exceptional chiropractic care in Sanford NC. Here at Ammons Chiropractic Clinic we specialize in the Atlas by using a technique called Atlas Orthogonal. The Atlas is the first bone found in your spine and through our very specific technique we are able to stimulate the nervous system in a way that can help with conditions such as migraines, tension headaches, TMJ pain, neck/mid back/lower back pain, herniated or bulging discs and so many more. We also utilize the Activator Methods technique in which we use an instrument called an activator to move the bones back into their proper alignment without any popping or cracking.

A BETTER ALTERNATIVE

It is important that people know that there are other Chiropractic options out there that are gentle and that will give them the time they need to address their problems and get them feeling better than they ever thought they could. We hope to see you in our office soon to get you well on your way to a life of whole wellness.
