A little background info on the folks treating you.

DR. JUSTIN LUCIA, FOUNDER

  • After many years of climbing in a gym and making the two-hour drive to Tennessee, Dr. Justin, his wife Alyssa, and dog Blake finally made the move to St. Elmo, Chattanooga.

    Since landing here, they’ve immersed themselves into the thriving outdoor community, and in 2022 they welcomed their son, Cosmo to the journey.

    Living at the base of Lookout Mountain has given them the access to the outdoors they craved.

    After graduating from Life University in 2013, Dr. Justin established a chiropractic office in the heart of Atlanta, GA. During that time, he honed his chiropractic techniques on humans and animals and realized there was more to chiropractic than just adjusting the spine.

    Dr. Justin continues to further his education and research new techniques and elements of sports medicine to help his clients achieve their fullest potential.

    As an avid climber, hiker, and mountain biker with roots in baseball and hockey, he understands the intricate injuries that can accumulate from these demanding sports.

    Dr. Justin has amassed knowledge on the prevention and treatment of various issues, and he is eager to help you.
