  A Family Chiropractic Practice Serving Roswell Since 1990 If you’re looking for a family chiropractor in Roswell, GA , welcome. I’m Dr. Kristen Welsh , though most of my patients know me simply as Dr. K . I’m a mom, veteran, and chiropractor at Care More Chiropractic , a family practice that has been serving the Roswell community for more than three decades. Care More Chiropractic was originally opened in 1990 by my mom, Dr. Claire Welsh . In 1996, my dad made a major career change—leaving his position as a vice president at a Fortune 500 company to attend chiropractic school and join the practice. Chiropractic care has truly been a family calling for us. After graduating from the United States Air Force Academy in 1994 , I served in the United States Air Force before returning home and eventually joining the practice. While attending chiropractic school, I began working in the office and learning the rhythm of caring for patients and families in our community. I gr...

 How one busy weekend in the kitchen turned into 17 healthy meals — and a reminder about nervous system health and intentional living. Elevating Family Health One Meal at a Time This weekend my kitchen looked more like a meal prep operation than a normal family kitchen. There were sheet pans in the oven, onions cooking, freezer bags lined up across the counter, and labels everywhere. Nine pounds of ground beef later… I had 17 dinners ready to go in the freezer. As a busy mom and chiropractor serving families here in Roswell, Georgia , I know how quickly weeknights can get hectic. Between kids’ activities, work at the office, and everything else life throws at us, it’s easy for healthy habits to slip. Fast food can start to look like the easiest option. But this weekend I decided to try something different. I planned ahead, cooked everything at once in the oven, portioned it into labeled freezer bags, and created a simple system so dinner during the week can be quick without ...

 February tends to get all wrapped up in hearts—cards, candy, flowers, and love notes. And while I fully support chocolate as a wellness tool (in moderation 😉), February is American Heart Health Month , which makes it a great time each year to talk about the connection between the heart, stress, and the nervous system. Your heart does not work alone. At Care More Chiropractic in Roswell, Georgia , we talk a lot about the nervous system—and for good reason., we talk a lot about the nervous system—and for good reason. Your nervous system is the master control system  for your heart, your stress response, and how well your body adapts to life.

Every January, we talk about doing more—more goals, more workouts, more productivity. But what most of us are really craving isn’t more … it’s energy . As a single mom, business owner, and chiropractor, I understand this deeply. My days are full before they even begin. There’s no “extra” time or energy lying around—I have to be intentional about how I create it. And one thing I’ve learned both personally and professionally is this: energy starts in the nervous system. Your nervous system controls everything—how you move, how you heal, how you adapt to stress, and how energized you feel throughout the day. When your spine is misaligned, the communication between your brain and body is compromised. You may still function, but you’re working harder than you need to. Chiropractic care isn’t about masking symptoms or pushing through exhaustion. It’s about restoring proper alignment so your body can operate efficiently. When the spine is aligned, the nervous system functions better—and wh...

As we move through January, my word of the year— Elevate —has been front and center here at Care More Chiropractic. For me, elevating energy isn’t about pushing harder or relying on caffeine to get through the day. It’s about supporting the body so it can do what it was designed to do: adapt, heal, and thrive. Energy is not just about how awake you feel. It’s about how well your nervous system communicates, how efficiently your body moves, and how resilient you are to daily stressors. Below are five simple, sustainable habits that can help elevate your energy naturally—starting from the inside out. 1. Prioritize Nervous System Health with Chiropractic Care Your nervous system controls everything —movement, digestion, sleep, immune function, and yes, your energy levels. When the spine is not moving or functioning properly, it can interfere with the nervous system’s ability to communicate clearly with the body. Chiropractic adjustments help restore proper motion to the spine, reduce ner...
