Chiropractor
Ren Halverson D.C.
Dr. Halverson has built an experienced and dedicated team at Advanced Chiropractic & Wellness Center. Each staff member at our practice in Brunswick, GA is committed to providing compassionate, thorough care to our patients.
As a trusted chiropractor serving Brunswick, St. Simons Island, and nearby South Georgia communities for over 40 years, Dr. Ren Halverson has helped over 30,000 patients experience life without the burden of pain. Dr. Halverson, like so many others in his profession, was first introduced to chiropractic as a patient. As a young man, he had a construction company and fell four stories while working on a roof. While he suffered no broken bones, he did significantly injure his lower back. A visit to the medical doctor produced a referral to a chiropractor, who began treating him to rebalance the posture that the severe fall had altered. A couple years later, he attended Life College in Marietta, Georgia and practiced in Atlanta for seven years before relocating to Brunswick in 1987.
While in Atlanta, he treated professional football players, Olympic athletes, members of the U.S. Karate Team, marathon runners, and swimmers. Dr. Halverson was the first chiropractor invited to join the GM workers comp. staff in their 24,000 employee plant in Doraville and also their 16,000 employee plant in Jonesboro. He gained vast experience in spinal rehab as well as treating carpel tunnel shoulder/elbow injuries at those facilities. He also began other practices in Jesup, Savannah and St. Mary's, Georgia, all of which remain busy today.
Dr. Ren Halverson's experience and vision for integrated medicine and cutting edge therapeutic disciplines is now realized in our clinic to provide the very best in physical medicine in Southeast Georgia.
