WHO WE ARE

At Backsmart Health Chiropractic, we help people in Cumming, GA and the surrounding Forsyth County communities get out of pain and stay that way naturally, without surgery or medication.

For nearly three decades, our practice has been built on a single straightforward mission: find the cause of your problem and help you find a solution as fast as possible. We treat every patient as an individual, not a condition. That means taking the time to understand what’s really going on in your body before recommending a care plan. We’re also honest with you about what chiropractic can and can’t do for your situation.

We’re not a revolving-door clinic. We’re a neighborhood practice where patients are welcomed like family, staff know your name, and Dr. King personally oversees every case. Whether you’re dealing with a nagging injury, chronic pain that’s been dismissed elsewhere, or you’re simply ready to start taking better care of your spine and health, you’ll find a team here that genuinely wants to help.

Lauren Mendes

Hi, I’m Lauren! Originally from Miami, FL, I moved to Cumming in 2025 after marrying my high school sweetheart — and we love it here. I stay active, explore new coffee spots, travel, and spend as much time outdoors as I can, especially near the ocean or out on a hike. I also love cooking, hosting, and a good podcast.

“I believe in creating balance and harmony in everything I do, whether it’s connecting with people, exploring the world, or enjoying life’s simple pleasures.”
