Services
We understand that arriving at a doctor's office for the first time can be nerve racking. If you've never experienced chiropractic care before, you may not know what to expect when you come to our office for the first time. Filling out paperwork, learning new faces and names, and getting to know your way around the office can be an overwhelming experience.
Chiropractic care is like building a house - certain things have to happen in a particular order in order for everything to stand strong and work correctly. When building a house, if you tried to put up your walls before you had a solid foundation, your walls would be weak and eventually collapse. If you tried to put on your roof before the walls were ready, you would run into the same problem.
Next, you will have a consultation with Amy Gatlin, DC to discuss your health-related problems, concerns, and potential treatment options. This initial visit is designed for Amy Gatlin, DC to learn more about you, your condition, and expectations to determine how chiropractic care can meet your goals.
Most people are under the assumption that if they don't feel any pain that there is nothing wrong with them - that they are healthy. Unfortunately, pain is a very poor indicator of health. In fact, pain and other symptoms frequently only appear after a disease or other condition has become advanced.
Most chiropractors regard the elimination of symptoms as the easiest part of a persons care. If all that the chiropractor does is to reduce the pain and stop there, the chances of the condition recurring are much greater. In order to prevent a rapid recurrence of symptoms, it is necessary to continue receiving care even though your symptoms are gone.

Dr. Amy is the best. My husband, our son, his wife, their new baby and my sister all see Dr. Amy. Her staff is also great. Dr. Amy is very thorough and is genuinely concerned about each of her patients.

I have traveled and lived in many different states. I have tried quite a few chiropractors and I can honestly say None compare to the quality care, i have received from Dr. Amy. I have been going to her for many years now and thanks to her experience she has kept me walking and moving. She also, has the sweetest girls in her office. I highly recommend her as the best chiropractic service ever to find. Respectfully Gloria Rouse

Dr. Gatlin adjusts my 9 month old son. I've been involved myself with chiropractic for 10 years and have never seen anyone better with children! He always has a smile on his face the whole visit and she will routinely pick him up for loves after she's finished. We love Dr. Amy!

This is not your typical revolving door chiropractor's office...adjust left, adjust right, see you in a week. Dr Amy does a thorough evaluation and treats each individual. You are never rushed through and Dr Amy spends as much time as required to help each patient.
If you are serious about taking responsibility for your own health, and are interested in addressing the cause rather than the symptom, then you should visit Thornton Chiropractic Life Center.

This review is for Thornton Chiropractic Life Center. I have been a patient at this practice off/on since I was a teenager (approximately 30 years), and have found much relief from whiplash and neck injuries which occurred after a rear-end collision at the age of 15. I have found that Dr. Amy Gatlin provides very gentle treatment, and she takes time to listen to her patients. She is empathetic and caring, and I always leave feeling better than when I arrive. The practice also sells supportive neck pillows and vitamin supplements. I have purchased 3 pillows so far, as my other family members also
