Welcome to Living Pain Free!

Words from "The Running Doctor" Dr. John Thomas, Sports Chiropractor, Spinal Decompression Expert

ABOUT ME – Dr. John C. Thomas, DC, "THE RUNNING DOCTOR"

I believe in healthy living. True to my name, I am an avid runner, cyclist and sports enthusiast. I’ve completed marathons including the Great Wall, in China. I have also been a vegetarian for nearly 20 years. I am Dr. John N. Thomas, Board Certified Sports Chiropractor and Certified IDD Clinician.

I was awarded a Bachelor of Science Degree in Biology from the College of Staten Island, New York. I earned my Doctorate in Chiropractic studies from Life University School of Chiropractic, in Marietta, GA. I also continued my studies with advanced training in Physiotherapy Studies from Cleveland College, in Los Angeles, CA.

My sports chiropractic practice, Allied Healthcare Clinics is located in the heart of one of nation’s most active running and triathlon communities, Fayetteville, GA. I appeal to runners and tri-athletes because as an athlete, I understand the nature of the sport specific injuries.

I believe that learning is a life-long process, and as a clinician, I listen to my patients, provide thorough treatment and attend continuing education courses that provide meaningful results to my patients.

Healthy living is a lifestyle – one that promotes unity to the mind, body and soul. Living your best and most complete life is a life without pain, and I can help you achieve a PainFree Life.

From soccer moms to professional athletes, Parnisia’s intuitive nature allows her to restore and relax those she cares for.

The Story of Performance Health Centers of Atlanta

Parnisia Duckworth and I first met years ago, when Allied Clinics was still in its early phase. Our healing philosophies, commitment to total body awareness, physical and mental wellness and lifestyles were almost identical. We both had an innate quality to heal others and our passions drove us to become healers of the masses, teachers to others and students of the masters. As a team, we worked well together - Parnisia was (and still is) an excellent Licensed Massage Practitioner. Her intuitiveness to the needs of clients, along with the power of her touch, made her an asset to the organization. Additionally, her ability to care for and heal clients is amazing! For a few years we worked side by side, and it was great. Although our individual interests took us in separate directions, we never lost our commitment to helping others maintain a healthy, pain-free life.

Parnisia and I reconnected again, this time in 2011, with a plan to create a holistic and innovative wellness center, specializing in total body health. After months of planning, prayer, and perseverance we opened Performance Health Centers of Atlanta.
Performance Health Centers of Atlanta is a perfect fit for us. We are able to combine my training and expertise in chiropractic care – adjustments, muscle stripping, ultrasound therapy, and electric stimulation with her specialty - massage therapy, to create a space and place of mutual happiness.
Together, we are healers on a mission.
