Today we’d like to introduce you to Dr. Nicholas J. Walls.
So, before we jump into specific questions about the business, why don’t you give us some details about you and your story.
My Chiropractic story starts with an epiphany in the Rutgers University football locker room. I played football at Rutgers with the goal of a career in the NFL until I realized I had a different path for my next chapter in life. While studying at Rutgers, I read in a Biology textbook how the body heals itself and innately strengthens the immune system. This fact resonated with me and reminded me of my Uncle, who is a Chiropractor and used to talk about how the body heals naturally “from the inside out.” It also made me think of the addiction and medical issues I saw in my family while growing up. I realized that natural and preventative healthcare could drastically change the lives of many, and even our country’s healthcare system. I decided to become a Chiropractor to help all humans realize the body’s innate ability to heal and how to strengthen this power through Chiropractic care, nutrition, and mental awareness.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I like to focus on the good things that are happening in my life, but every journey has its bumps and missed turns. Growing up with immediate family members who had addiction problems was probably the most challenging part of this road so far. I witnessed the power of how drugs can tear down a family or even a community firsthand. This experience allowed me to see what choices not to make and what roads not to take. But most of all, it is what drives me to help humans choose natural and drug-free ways of life. I have realized that struggles can make the mind stronger, more grateful, and more compassionate.
We’d love to hear more about your practice.
I am a Chiropractor at Chiropractic Healthcare of Buckhead in Atlanta. I focus on the function of the entire skeletal system. I use a holistic approach to analyze and align the spine to remove nerve interference, which allows messages from the brain to travel clearly through the spinal cord and nervous system. These messages can then reach all parts of the body and coordinate their function properly.
I specialize in Gonstead, Full Spine, Diversified and Activator Chiropractic techniques. I’ve seen patients from ages 2 to 92, and all of them benefited from Chiropractic care. Helping raise healthy non-medicated families and seeing my patients thrive naturally is what makes me most proud as a Doctor.
What were you like growing up?
I was a happy kid who smiled a lot, with an interest in art. I liked drawing, painting, sculpting. I also played basketball, soccer, and football when I was younger and played Division I football at Rutgers University.
