Services
Dr. Charles G. Pray is originally from New Hampshire and came to Georgia to attend Life University to become a chiropractor. Dr. Pray has been serving the North Georgia area for over 25 years with his unique chiropractic approach of helping people get out of pain fast and then stay pain-free so they can enjoy life to the fullest.
This is the first time I've ever been to a chiropractor, and your staff and the doctor made me feel very comfortable and explained everything in great detail to help me understand. I'm so glad that I made the choice to come to Pray Chiropractic. I love Pray Chiropractic and everyone in the office is so sweet and helpful.
Have you considered seeing a chiropractor in Dalton or Ringgold? If your spinal joints don't maintain necessary movement then discs and nerves can get pinched, herniated, bulged and in some cases nerves can die. Lack of movement in the spine can even cause the growth of osteophytes on vertebrae. Osteophytes are boney spurs that grow as a response to decreased movement and can eventually cause the bones to fuse together.
Whether you are experiencing neck or back pain, spinal decompression therapy offered by our Dalton chiropractors and also our Ringgold chiropractors may be your perfect solution. We've often seen patients who scheduled themselves for back surgery or were planning on going on disability, unable to work.
Our Dalton and Ringgold chiropractors offer the area's only 40-watt Deep Tissue Laser Treatment which penetrates deep into the tissue to reduce inflammation at the cellular level, accelerating the healing process. Treatments are as little as 4 to 10 minutes and most patients experience noticeable results after only a few sessions.

This company is all about profit, not patients. They offer no help until you've come in for multiple visits. After the doctor explaining their standard schedule to me, I asked if there was nothing at all they could do to give the slightest, even temporary relief before coming back multiple times. The doctor replied, "Well we do close at 6 pm." (This was at 5:10-ish. Appt was at 4:20, btw.) I patiently waited to be taken for x-rays.

While I waited, they had me watch a "testimonial video" of patients who had had amazing experiences with them. Seemed odd. I don't need

Staff is friendly and efficient. Office and treatment rooms are always clean. Dr.s get right to business to provide treatment and educate how to help yourself repair what ails you.

Very polite and professional atmosphere. Dr Bodkin is amazing. He took extra care to make sure I was better before I left the office. The girls up front and in the back were really sweet and polite. Great place for great care

The entire personal, have the proper balance of professionalism and lighthearted; specific processes and flexibility. I felt very comfortable from start to finish. I was never idle long, yet moved thru each phase efficiently. Had my neck and back adjusted. I was able to stand “tall,” walk with a less noticeable limb! Thanks everyone!

I’ve been to chiropractors before and I’ve always left feeling worse than when I went in. Not this place!! Dr Nick and all the staff were so kind and helpful. They really took the time to explain and show me what is going on with my back and neck. I will recommend them to everyone I know!!

The staff is amazing and always work with my erratic schedule. They have a great sense of humor and always explain what is going on and the reason why I am receiving the treatment I am. They are very well trained. I give them a 15/10 but this only has 5 stars.

From day one Dr. Bodkin took my concerns seriously regarding my neck and shoulder area and within just a few manipulations I could sleep through the night without ibuprofen, sit in one position for more than 30 seconds, and my headaches almost went away entirely. I definitely recommend. It’s quick easy painless and somewhat relaxing and the results are there within a couple of weeks. Also, every single staff member is extremely kind and helpful.

Best therapy for ongoing maintenance. The laser heat therapy helped the soft tissue damage in my knees. I have made it another 10 years on these knees. Neck & back Adjustments are my monthly MUST. Easy to get in and out time wise. Love Dr Nick also.

First chiropractor I've been to so can't compare to others. That said office is nice, very clean, doctors and staff very friendly, seems very well run and professional. Still have some lower back pain after 4 visits, but not nearly the pain I was in, so things are getting better. I have normal office job and the hours available for appointments were a big reason for picking Pray. I would recommend Pray without hesitation.

Friendly staff, but it is clear that the business is more concerned about volume and money than care and communication. 15-25 visit plans are not realistic with some injuries. Time to move on to a more ethical provider.

I have never believed in Chiropractic medicine but found myself desperate after a back injury. I came to Pray - uncertain, cautious and scared. Four weeks later I find myself drastically feeling better and genuinely impressed by the staff at this clinic. I've worked with a lot of MD's and can say that this clinic could serve as the benchmark for how an office should be run. Very professional, consistent and always with the patient #1.

I can truly say that Pray has put to rest any concerns I had and has risen far above the stereotypes. This is an incredibly impressive and well

All 3 doctors here are great! I started going here because of a pinched nerve and terrible neck pain. After just a few adjustments and therapy treatments the pain had pretty much subsided. It didn't take much more to become completely pain free! Each doctor has a different personality and different approach to the way they adjust your spine so be sure to see all 3 to see who is a good fit for you personally. Also they have different hours so be sure to pick up a card showing that particular doctor's availability.

It's an incredibly efficient office. You can be in and out in under an hour. Have pain? Go here. I've been a patient for 17 years. I think there are two types of people in the world. Those who live in pain and those who have been under chiropractic care.

Pray chiropractic is a great place, the doctors and staff are extremely nice. When you walk in you are greeted with a big smile and they call you by name , it's not like any doctor I have ever been too . After two treatments I am so much better ! I highly recommend them to anyone who has back and neck pain .

They have one of the nicest chiropractic spaces I've ever seen. But that's about where it stops. I went for neck pain and after three months of therapy, I developed lower back pain. (That did not exist prior to my sessions.)
During my last month of visits, I kept trying to tell the team that something wasn't right. But I was met with eye rolling, sighs, and shrugs...like it was MY fault. They insisted I continue my therapy as prescribed. When I started developing lower back spasms, the chiropractor became agitated with me and basically called me a sissy. Especially after I reminded

Chiropractors are fine. Tech staff is great. However, my experience is that they have unethical billing practices. When the 'insurance girl' went over my health plan, she said "your insurance will not cover spinal decompression". Upon further review in pressing and investigating further, I confirmed Pray NEVER contacted my insurance to check coverage but finally admitted that they 'do not bill insurance for this therapy but require patients pay out of pocket. I confirmed my insurance covers at 80%! Once I confirmed I had been blatantly lied to by the Pray insurance girl
