The Team

Dr. Gary Martin

Dr. Martin was born and raised in New York. In 1974, he graduated from the University of Hartford with a BS degree in Business Administration with a major in marketing. He then moved back to NYC and landed a job with Dun and Bradstreet as a business/credit analyst. He left D&B and went to work for the A.C. Nielsen Co. (Nielsen TV Ratings) as a TV audience researcher and analyst. He then migrated to Atlanta in 1978, the recipient of a corporate promotion and transfer.

He left Nielsen and went to work for Cox Broadcasting Corp. (Wsb-tv and radio) as a research and programming analyst. At that time, I was introduced to the benefits of chiropractic care. Inspired by his chiropractor at the time and by his passion for health and wellness, he left the corporate world and enrolled in Life Chiropractic College in the fall of 1983. He graduated from Life in September 1987 with a Doctor of Chiropractic degree and the rest is history. He is married to a wonderful wife, Anita, for almost 33 years. He has three beautiful daughters, Sarah, Rebekah and Rachel. His goal is to help you achieve pain relief, health and wellness.
