Since 1997, he has helped chronic pain patients in Cumming and Forsyth County with care plans built around thorough evaluation, evidence-based chiropractic care, and practical recovery goals. The focus is helping patients feel and function better so daily life is no longer organized around discomfort.

Our Approach To Chronic Pain

Chronic pain care at Backsmart Health Chiropractic begins with a fresh evaluation, not assumptions from past treatment. Dr. Gregory King reviews your history, performs a detailed chiropractic examination, and uses imaging when needed to understand what may be driving pain. Care may include Zone Technique, Electrical Muscle Stimulation, Y-Strap decompression, and chiropractic adjustments when appropriate. Each recommendation is explained clearly, including what progress should look like. If your case needs medical coordination, Dr. King can work with physicians, orthopedic surgeons, or neurologists to support the broader care plan.

Common Questions About Chronic Pain Management

Can chiropractic care actually resolve chronic pain or just manage it?

For many patients, yes. Chiropractic care can resolve chronic pain entirely, not just manage it. The key is identifying and correcting the underlying structural or neurological dysfunction causing the pain in the first place. Symptom management alone keeps people in cycles. Root-cause correction is what breaks them.

I've tried chiropractic before and it didn't help. Why would this be different?

That’s one of the most common things Dr. King hears from chronic pain patients. The honest answer: not all chiropractic care is the same. If your previous treatment focused only on the area that hurt, without evaluating whole-body dysfunction or using a structured diagnostic approach, it likely addressed the symptom without touching the cause. Dr. King’s Zone Technique protocol is specifically designed for cases where standard approaches haven’t delivered lasting results.

How long does it take to see results with chronic pain?

Chronic pain that has developed over months or years typically requires a more comprehensive care plan than a recent, acute injury. Many patients notice meaningful improvement within the first several weeks of consistent care. Dr. King will set clear expectations from your first visit and re-evaluate your progress at regular intervals so you always know where you stand.

Do I need to stop other treatments to start care at Backsmart Health Chiropractic?

No. Dr. King actively coordinates with other healthcare providers when appropriate. If you’re currently working with a physician, physical therapist, or specialist, that relationship doesn’t need to end, it can be strengthened. He’ll communicate with your care team as needed to make sure everyone is working toward the same outcome.

Is this approach safe for someone who has been in pain for years?

Yes. Dr. King tailors every treatment to the patient in front of him. Chronic pain patients often present with additional sensitivities, and Dr. King adjusts both his technique and his pace of care accordingly. Safety is never compromised in the interest of speed.

What if chiropractic care isn't the right answer for my situation?

Dr. King will tell you. He has built close working relationships with family physicians, orthopedic surgeons, and neurologists throughout the Cumming area, and he makes referrals whenever they’re in a patient’s best interest. Getting you better matters more than keeping you as a patient.
