Customer Comments
“My husband was having 2-3 migraines a month before he visited with Dr. Ellwanger. Dr. Ellwanger’s knowledge on migraines is extensive and with his recommendations and the treatment he provided, my husband’s number of headaches significantly reduced. My husband is much happier and productive. Before seeing Dr. Ellwanger, his headaches usually lasted 1-2 days. He now has had one headache in 2 months and it only lasted 6 hours. A major improvement in living. Thank you Dr. Ellwanger, for giving me my husband back.”
About Dr. George Ellwanger, D.C.
Dr. George Ellwanger lives in Cary, North Carolina with his wife, Donna and the three youngest of their seven children. He is currently the owner and clinical director of Atlas Chiropractic of Cary, PLLC.
Dr. Ellwanger received his Bachelors and Masters Degrees in music education and trombone performance. After performing with various Air Force bands, world-wide, for everyone from European royalty to people in third-world countries, he decided on a new path that would allow him to positive influence on the lives of many more people on a one to one basis. He chose to enter the chiropractic profession and did so right after finishing his military duty. After his acceptance into the Palmer College of Chiropractic, “the Harvard of Chiropractic Colleges” in Davenport, Iowa, he entered his chiropractic training. While at Palmer he discovered many new things, not the least of which was the woman who was to become his beautiful wife, Donna, also a chiropractor, and five of their awesome children.
Drs. George and Donna earned their DC (doctor of chiropractic) degrees in 1993 and accepted a self-imposed internship with the world-renowned inventor, Dr. Roy Sweat, the founder of the Atlas Orthogonal technique in Atlanta, GA. In September of 1994 they opened their own Atlas Orthogonal chiropractic office together in Williamsburg, VA. There, they served many people with the high quality care that they were taught by Dr. Sweat.
Now he is happy to be back in his native North Carolina where he is serving many people with the Atlas Orthogonal brand of chiropractic that he learned from Dr. Sweat an has had the opportunity to practice now for fourteen years. Dr. Donna has been happy for the past several years to be a stay-at-home mom. She and some of the children still help out in the office from time to time.
Dr. Ellwanger is a contributing author for the Cary Home Times, a local news website. You can read some of his articles there, in the Health/Chiropractic section.
