Dr. Linda Crawford

 Dr. Linda Crawford is a 1991 graduate of Life University, College of Chiropractic. She attributes her own personal health improvements to the chiropractic care and treatment she received more than twenty-five years ago. Her newly found health and energy motivated her to become a Doctor of Chiropractic, and while earning her degree, she helped others as a massage therapist. Dr. Crawford strives to help her patients attain the high level of health restoration that she experienced years ago as she continues to experience ongoing results.

Dr. Crawford is dedicated to the care and treatment of her patients and has helped her patients recover from injuries, impairments, and conditions such as those due to whiplash, auto injuries, postural stress, scoliosis, fibromyalgia, headaches, difficulty sleeping, sinus issues, digestive problems, and weight challenges.  Dr. Crawford's natural approach has attributed to her patients' overall well-being. 

She identifies the cause of their health problems, and utilizing her experience, knowledge and education, Dr. Crawford develops and implements specific treatment plans to restore proper body alignment, motion, function, vitality and overall health and well-being. In addition, Dr. Crawford instructs her patients in positive, long-term techniques and goals to prevent any further recurrence.

Dr. Crawford is also certified as a Clinical Nutritionist.

She not only helps her patients hasten their recovery through various chiropractic and massage techniques, but also offers patients a baseline assessment, at no cost, to identify any nutritional needs. Dr. Crawford can recommend nutritional supplements to strengthen the body and mind, to further assist the body through the healing process.

A more in-depth nutritional assessment and program is available to patients who are interested in taking their health care and maintenance a step further, in which a personalized nutritional program is specifically developed to meet the needs of each patient implementing whole food supplements and herbal products. Ask Dr. Crawford about the Body Systems Health Scan to learn how it can help you!

When Dr. Crawford is not with patients, she can be found walking the trails at Kennesaw Mountain.  She is an active member of the Kennesaw Mountain Ambassador Trail Club and looks forward to sharing her hikes with her patients and friends.

Dr. "Jack" Ludtke

Dr. Jack Ludtke is a 2004 graduate of Life University, College of Chiropractic.  During the course of treating his patients' spinal problems and subluxations, Dr. Jack recognized the need for the proper alignment of other joints and connective tissue, and developed a keen interest in the body's upper and lower extremities.  In 2005, he obtained his certification as a Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP).  Dr Jack specializes in the treatment of subluxations occurring in the upper and lower extremities. 

Dr. Jack successfully analyzes, diagnoses and treats joint and connective tissue injuries and disorders, and restores these areas to their proper position to allow the body to function without pain or restriction of motion. He has helped his patients alleviate their pain and discomfort arising from conditions and injuries including TMJ disorders, shoulder, elbow, wrist and hand, hip, knee, ankle and foot problems.

Dr. Jack utilizes a Digigal Foot Scanner to determine the structural needs of his patient's feet.  From the scan, it can be determined if chiropractic adjustments, foot exercises, and/or orthotics can be of help to balance the body's structure.  The health of the spine depends on its foundation, the feet!  Dr. Jack makes custom foot orthotics in his office for his patients and follows up very closely to make sure that they are working for each individual, and helping to make corrections.

Prior to Dr. Jack's interest in chiropractic care, he was an General Contractor, and owned his own construction company contructing many buildings in the Atlanta region from the ground up.  He also played the major role in the magnificent 2010-11reconstruction of Chiropractic Total Health Center's lower level.  He is an accomplished musician and occasionally finds time to get together with members of his band to have fun and to also entertain family and friends. 

Ask Dr. Jack how he can be of help to you, your friends, coworkers and acquaintances!

Massage Therapy

Massage therapy is one of the best known antidotes for stress, tight and painful muscles.  This type of therapy aids in the relief of discomfort due to tendonitis, ligament sprain, muscle strain and spasm, headaches, backache, arthritis, and general discomfort.  Therapeutic massage helps to relax tight muscles, joints and surrounding connective tissue, thereby increasing circulation and blood flow to tense, injured, sprained or strained areas.

It has been shown that massage therapy relieves the pain and discomfort of contracted muscles caused by abnormal spinal curvature, such as scoliosis, to help the body return to a more natural position and improve vitality, alertness and energy.

Our massage therapists have undergone extensive training that includes manual therapy, myofascial release, deep tissue massage  and trigger point release techniques

Studies include complete understanding of the anatomy and physiology, and the recognizing all situations when massage may or may not be the appropriate remedy.

All of our therapeutic massages are supervised by Dr. Linda Crawford or Dr. Jack Ludtke.  All of our massage sessions are provided by fully trained, certified, licensed therapists to ensure that our patients receive the proper care and attention they deserve!
