Krieger Health Solutions grew from a family chiropractic practice that was begun in 1959 in NYC by his father Dr. Arthur Krieger. Today they are in Roswell, GA and they provide chiropractic care for children and adults, functional nutrition and detoxification protocols. Dr. Krieger graduated Life Chiropractic School in 1984 and began practice with his father in 1985. Over the years the practice grew to include nutrition and other holistic practices which were incorporated to enhance their chiropractic adjustments which were and remain the core of their practice. Another aspect of their practice has been to help businesses save money by educating employees about health and wellness. It is not commonly known but companies, big and small, lose lots of revenue through lost work time, medication costs and lost production. Krieger Health Solutions can provide businesses with employee workshops on a number of health and safety topics that can help decrease or prevent lost production and prescription costs.
