My Chiropractic Story
While playing collegiate soccer, I suffered a hip and groin injury that left me sidelined. Months of pain medication and muscle relaxers prescribed by the team doctor brought no improvement. Out of options, I followed a teammate’s advice and visited a local chiropractor.
Within a short time, my hip and groin pain were gone. After six months of corrective chiropractic care, I no longer needed my asthma inhaler, and a recurring bacterial infection in my right eye completely disappeared. My ophthalmologist was baffled, but I knew what had changed — my body had finally been allowed to heal itself.
That experience changed my life. I realized chiropractic wasn’t just about pain relief but about restoring the body’s God-designed potential. I thought, if chiropractic could do this for me, what could it do for everyone else?
Soon after, I moved to Georgia to attend Life University, where I earned my Doctorate of Chiropractic and met my amazing wife, Dr. Amanda Hess. Together, we founded Discover Chiropractic in Stockbridge, Georgia, which has grown into one of the most impactful chiropractic offices in the nation. Today, we are honored to co-lead the practice alongside Dr. Chandler Cook and Samantha Cook, serving families and inspiring thousands through the message of Above Down Inside Out principled chiropractic care.

Dr. Amanda Hess – Principled Chiropractor
“I believe that there is a correct way to overcome disease and illness, and that is through using proven methods to locate the cause of your problems and remove it, instead of merely depressing the symptoms with surgery or pain medications.”
My Chiropractic Story
After being injured during a cheerleading stunt one autumn afternoon, I went home with low back pain thinking everything would be fine. Hours later, when my mother returned from work, I was unable to walk and crawled to her in pain asking for help.
We rushed to Urgent Care, where the medical doctor said, “Amanda, you sprained your back. Here’s a shot to help you feel better, along with muscle relaxers, pain medication, and an anti-inflammatory.” Days later, I was able to walk again, but the pain remained severe. I couldn’t cheer or attend dance classes for an upcoming competition. Thankfully, my ballet instructor’s husband was a chiropractor, and my mother scheduled an appointment.
After taking specific chiropractic postural x-rays, I received my first precise chiropractic adjustment. Immediately, I felt relief. Through time and consistent care, my injury fully healed. At only 15 years old, I returned to dance and competed in the next event. I stopped all prescribed medications and learned firsthand the incredible healing power of the body when interference is removed.
After earning a degree in Biology from the University of South Carolina, where I interned on a research team studying bone marrow transplants at the Center for Cancer Treatments in Columbia, I realized my true calling wasn’t in the sickness-care model dominating modern medicine. I moved to Atlanta, enrolled at Life University, and earned my Doctorate of Chiropractic.

My Chiropractic Story
I am a third generation chiropractor, so I have seen and heard my share of amazing chiropractic stories. It all started with my grandpa coming down with viral Hepatitis while in high school. His mother took him to see medical doctors, who basically told her to take him home and get his affairs in order and wait for him to die. She decided to get another opinion, and took my grandpa to a chiropractor. Now, chiropractic does not treat conditions like hepatitis, but instead chiropractic allows the body to heal and function the way that it was designed to. After my grandpa received chiropractic adjustments, his body was able to ward off the hepatitis, and vowed to become a chiropractor himself. My father followed in his footsteps, and became a chiropractor as well. I have grown up well adjusted my entire life, so chiropractic adjustments are all that I have ever known as healthcare; I’ve never been to a pediatrician or primary care physician, nor have I ever received any vaccinations, or taken any prescription drugs. I have never been hospitalized or ever had a major illness. I simply do not get sick. My life and wellbeing is a testament to chiropractic care and how raising healthy well adjusted children allow them to become healthy adults. My wife, on the other hand, had not always been under chiropractic care. For many years she had suffered from severe irritable bowel syndrome. Once she got under regular chiropractic care, through time and repetition, her IBS slowly began to go away. Once her spine started to have the proper structure, her body began to have the proper function. Chiropractic, like gravity, always works.

My Chiropractic Story
I was 15 years old when I was in an elevator and it dropped down one floor. I felt my low back suddenly feel as a concrete block. After PT and massages my musculature got better but the pain was still there. Around 10 years later my low back got worse. I decided to look for other options and I found Chiropractic. I found on social media this chiropractor (Dr. André Colón Pérez). At my first visit he educated me about how chiropractic can help me and after that moved to the consultation and examination and took x-rays. At my second visit he explained to me all the results and I got my first chiropractic adjustment! With that adjustment I started to sleep better and after 2-3 months of chiropractic care the low back pain went away (Since that day I get adjusted weekly). After 2 years of chiropractic care, I decided to go to chiropractic university in South Carolina.
