Dr. Kent Garner, DC
Dr. Kent Garner’s passage to becoming a chiropractor began with a deep curiosity about how the human body works, heals, and performs. From an early age, he felt a strong desire to dedicate his life to healing and service and on his journey he realized the role movement, lifestyle and the connection between physical and emotional health influenced well-being. But it wasn’t until he faced his own injury that his passion took on a personal meaning.
As an athlete, Dr. Kent experienced the frustration of chronic pain and limited mobility. After trying multiple treatments that only offered short-term relief, he turned to chiropractic care. The results were life-changing. He didn’t just feel better physically—he regained confidence in his body and a renewed sense of control over his health.
That experience inspired him to pursue chiropractic as a career. He wanted to help others feel that same sense of relief, hope, and empowerment. Dr. Kent went on to earn his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta, GA, focusing on restoring proper function, reducing pain, and improving the quality of life through movement-based, personalized care.

At TruAxis Chiropractic and Wellness, chiropractic adjustments are a foundational part of our care. We focus on correcting spinal misalignments—also known as subluxations—that can lead to pain, restricted movement, and impaired nervous system function. These misalignments may interfere with the communication between your brain, spinal cord, and body, ultimately affecting your overall health.
By restoring proper spinal biomechanics, we help support optimal nervous system function and allow your body to move, heal, and perform at its best.
We offer a comprehensive range of safe and gentle adjustment techniques tailored to your individual needs, including:
Manual Adjusting – The classic hands-on technique that may produce a “popping” sound as joint pressure is released.
Instrument-Assisted Adjusting – Utilizing precision tools like the Activator to deliver low-force corrections.
Drop Table Adjusting – A gentle, mechanical-assisted method using segmented tables that reduce pressure during adjustments.
Spinal Decompression – Targeted traction to relieve pressure on discs and nerves, particularly helpful in disc-related conditions.
Traction Therapy – Designed to gently stretch and mobilize the spine, improving alignment and relieving tension.
Most patients at TruAxis receive a customized blend of these techniques based on what their body responds to best. Whether you're seeking relief from pain, improving function, or maintaining long-term wellness, our approach is always gentle, effective, and rooted in your individual goals.
