NEW PATIENT SPECIAL
Meet Dr. Austin Saxon
Chiropractors have the best job in the world! My favorite thing about being a chiropractor is all the people I meet. I have tight relationships with thousands of people across the spectrum that I never would’ve had the opportunity to get to know.
Combining Passion With Purpose
Before getting on the path to becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Austin played music for a living and worked for an IT company. While the IT job went well, he yearned for purposeful work. “It just felt like strictly pursuit of money, and I knew I had to do something meaningful in life. I literally sat there at my desk at the IT company, applied for chiropractic school, and went in for orientation at Life University the next day. Then, about two weeks later, I started school.” It was in that first six months at chiropractic school that he truly fell in love with chiropractic and all of the great conservative and natural ways to heal people.
Education & Certifications
Dr. Austin went to Kennesaw State University to earn his first bachelor’s degree. Then he attended Life University for his second undergraduate degree, and then his Doctor of Chiropractic in 2016.
In addition to his degrees, Dr. Austin is RockTape certified, and he has certification in Functional Movement Taping (FMT) One and Functional Movement Taping (FMT) Two. He’s also taken numerous myofascial release courses and is a Class IV Laser provider.

Growing up in a Healthy Household
“As a chiropractor’s son, I grew up in a super health conscious household. Exercise, adjustments, and proper nutrition were a part of our daily lives, and we were highly encouraged to exercise and find our athletic passions to help maintain fitness and good health.”
Dr. Austin witnessed his father always taking great care of his entire family and friends. “A neighbor would mess up their back, and my dad would have them in his house at 11 p.m., on a Sunday, before they fly out of town for vacation or work. So I always saw my dad as a man who’s always serving people and doing his best to help everyone around him.”
Outside the Practice
When he’s not at the practice, Dr. Austin enjoys spending time with his wife and son, Rowan. They have another son on the way due in December of 2022. He and his family enjoy traveling, spending tons of time outdoors, mountain biking, running, and trying all of the great restaurants Georgia has to offer. Dr. Austin also loves riding motorcycles, whether it’s a dual sport in the mountains or a Harley on the highway.
Dr. Austin and his wife have been together since they met at Etowah High School in Woodstock at the age of 18. “She’s been the other half of me since the moment we started dating.” Most of the time, you’ll see both of them every time you’re in the office!
