Jernigan Chiropractic & Rehab
Dr. Jeremy Jernigan loves helping patients every day and getting to the
root of their condition, then applying a multidisciplinary functional approach to achieve the patient’s healthcare goals. He considers it one of the most rewarding aspects of his career.
“Wellness goes way beyond getting out of pain – that’s the easy part,”
he explains. “Maintaining function, movement, and nutrition for our bodies
is what keeps us out of pain.” Jernigan’s advice is to keep moving! “Once you stop, your joints slowly start to lose mobility, tighten up, and deteriorate.”
But Jernigan is there to help if that does happen! He helps patients get back to their lives, and back to doing the things they love by improving their movement.
One of the biggest misconceptions surrounding chiropractors is that they are just back pain doctors. In reality,
they also treat and co-manage a variety of musculoskeletal and neurological conditions of all age groups.
Growing up, Jernigan saw himself becoming a professional baseball player. “Then I struck out too many times, and realized treating patients with injuries was in my strike zone,” he jokes.
Outside of work, he loves enjoying time with his family, his children and their activities, boating, and physical fitness.
