Duluth Chiropractic Expands with New Health Center

Duluth Chiropractic recently expanded to include the Good For Life Integrated Health Center. The grand opening and ribbon cutting ceremony were held on May 30 as an official welcome to meet the team and discover their new services in acupuncture, massage therapy, and functional medicine. Good for Life will combine ancient healing traditions with modern techniques to provide comprehensive care tailored to individual needs. There are five employees at the new location.

Dr. Steven Sommer D.C. is the practice owner and lead chiropractor at Duluth Chiropractic. His mission is to restore health for people of all ages through natural chiropractic care. He stated, “My treatments have helped thousands of patients manage their conditions effectively, allowing them to return to their normal lives and activities. I combine the latest technologies in the field with evidence-based chiropractic care to help patients reach their health goals.”

He has received special training in rehabilitation of individuals from car accident injuries from the Spine Injury Institute of San Diego. He completed a comprehensive training program in whiplash and brain injury traumatology, emphasizing the biomechanics of injury mechanisms.

He further related his call to healthcare to Judaism, “Healing isn’t just about fixing physical issues; it’s about caring for the whole person — body, mind, and spirit. At Good for Life Integrated Health Center, we believe in supporting that entire journey by offering chiropractic, acupuncture, functional medicine, and massage therapy — all under one roof,” explains Dr. Sommer. “We’re dedicated to help treat a wide range of conditions. In Judaism, looking after your health is seen as a meaningful act of respect for the gift of life and the body that G-d gave us.”

In a recent case, Sommer stated that he had a patient who was slated for surgery with a disc herniation in his lower back. The man could barely walk and had given up hope. With several treatments utilizing spinal decompression, chiropractic adjustments, exercises and rehab, the patient’s pain went from 10 to zero. The patient gained full function and was able to return to normal activities with no residual issues and no surgery. The new expansion will help more patients receive access to more options for natural pain relief, rehabilitation, and wellness care all under one roof.

Dr. Sommer grew up in Niskayuna, N.Y., until he went to college at Penn State University, and then moved to Atlanta in 2010 for Chiropractic School at Life University in Marietta. He has been the owner and operator of Duluth Chiropractic and Wellness Center since 2016. As a power health care couple, wife, Alex Sommer, has been employed at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta (CHOA) for more than 10 years where she is the lead educator for the child life specialists in the CHOA system. That role is as a healthcare professional who helps children and families cope with the stress and challenges of medical experiences, hospitalization, and other healthcare situations. She has specialized training in child development, psychology, and therapeutic techniques.

The family belongs to Temple Sinai. Steve Sommer is an avid basketball and tennis player and has participated in the MJCCA basketball league for more than a decade. He also coaches youth basketball at the JCC and YMCA and is active in the Duluth Kiwanis Club charity children’s initiatives. Dr. Sommer and Alex have two daughters, Maya (3), and Molly (1). They live in Chamblee.
