Spinal Adjustments
Our spinal adjustments use precise manual techniques to correct vertebral misalignments, reducing nerve pressure and inflammation while restoring joint function. This evidence-based approach effectively treats back pain, neck pain, and headaches by addressing root causes rather than symptoms. Patients experience improved mobility and long-term relief through tailored adjustment plans performed by our expert chiropractors.
Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV Laser Therapy delivers focused light energy to stimulate cellular repair, reducing pain and inflammation in musculoskeletal conditions like tendonitis and plantar fasciitis. This FDA-cleared, non-invasive treatment accelerates healing by enhancing cellular metabolism through photobiomodulation. Most patients achieve significant relief within 3-5 sessions, with effects lasting longer after each treatment as tissue regeneration progresses.
Custom Foot Orthotics
Custom foot orthotics provide personalized arch support and weight distribution to alleviate knee, back, and foot pain caused by improper alignment. Unlike generic inserts, these precision-crafted devices match individual foot contours and gait patterns. By correcting biomechanical imbalances, they enhance posture, reduce joint stress, and prevent recurring injuries while remaining comfortable for daily wear in most footwear.
Therapeutic Exercise
Therapeutic exercise programs target flexibility, strength, and endurance recovery for specific musculoskeletal conditions. These customized routines improve mobility by releasing tight muscles, mobilizing joints, and enhancing circulation. Patients learn home exercises to maintain progress between visits, ensuring sustainable improvements in physical function and preventing future injuries through proactive self-care strategies.
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture integrates dry needling and electrical stimulation to treat chronic pain conditions by targeting trigger points and energy meridians. This evidence-based adaptation of traditional Chinese medicine effectively addresses migraines, allergies, and musculoskeletal disorders by promoting circulation and reducing inflammation. Combined with chiropractic care, it offers a holistic approach to managing both acute and chronic pain without pharmaceuticals.

This place is not your average Chiropractor's office, it is holistic, chiropractic and sports medicine all in one! Go see Doc if you want to get back to your old self! Dr Buckingham and his team are the best of the best. They have all of the tools needed to get you back feeling your best, from laser therapy, acupuncture, to chiropractic care. What I like the most though, is that they care about you and your health as a whole.

Best chiropractor I've ever had. He's super attentive and works on the parts of your body you're actually having issues with. He is very thorough and even gives you some PT moves to do at home. Would recommend to anybody!

I've never been one who believed in chiropractors, until now. I've been having sciatica pain down my left leg and my boss told me I needed to go see his chiropractor Michael Buckingham. At first I was hesitant but as the pain got worse I decided I would try. I'm so glad that I did. Dr. Buckingham and his team are genuinely concerned about your health and how they can help. I have had acupuncture, laser therapy along with adjustments.
Now I'm starting to feel better and have a new outlook as far as chiropractors are concerned at least this chiropractor Michael Buckingham. Buckingham chiropractic, in my Opinion is the best of the best.

Dr. Buckingham is THE BEST! When I moved here from the west coast I was worried about finding a good chiropractor who did active release therapy. Much to my surprise, a mile from my new house, I found the best chiropractor I have ever been to. Not only does he practice ART but also Graston and acupuncture. My whole family sees Dr. B and we all highly recommend!

I started seeing Dr. Buck about 6 years ago when I first moved to Charlotte. Now that his office is closer to home (Ballantyne), I'm able to see him more frequently. I appreciate the time he takes to work on me. I've always been nervous about Chiropractors because you definitely need to be able to trust them (as they twist your neck lol) He makes me feel comfortable and safe. Aside from being adjusted, I've had laser treatments, acupuncture, deep tissue muscle work and taping. Definitely not a pop-an-go type place! I always feel so much better when I leave. OH, and the new massage chairs are amazing!

A seemingly minor tweak in my back quickly turned into difficulty standing, walking and a lot of pain. I'd never been to a chiropractor, I'd always been skeptical.but I was desperate. A buddy from the gym referred me to Dr. Buckingham. So glad he did. Dr. Buckingham was able to identify the underlying cause of my pain quickly and began treatment. I saw him a few times within a week.and the improvement was amazing. The first appointment gave relief and I felt better each day. From struggling to walk to being able to touch my toes (pain free) in 6 days. Very professional office- great staff too.

Dr. Buckingham and his staff are amazing! My entire family goes to him. He always takes as much time with you as is needed. Not only does he adjust you, but he also works on the different muscles that are causing the problem. It is great how he explains what is causing the problem, and I really appreciate how he takes the time to show me the different stretches that I need to do to alleviate the problem. Tara and Riley are also some of the nicest people that you will meet, and they help to make the entire experience wonderful. I recommend Dr. Buckingham to anyone looking for a chiropractor.

Highly recommended! I had severe vertigo and Dr Buckingham got me up and going again in under a week! The staff is awesome! Tara is easy to text and sends excellent reminders! They have the most intense massage chairs that you get to use while you wait. Even my husband volunteers to bring me so he can enjoy the chairs! Free massage with every walk in the door!

Dr. Buckingham's new office is very nice. After being deployed for the past year and sleeping in not so welcoming places it was great to get back into his office and get adjusted. I feel 100% better after seeing him.

There are no words to describe the treatment I have received from Dr. Buck over the years. No matter in how much pain I am or what is wrong, he always has the right approach to get me back in motion. Highly recommend you pay him a visit. He has treated my entire family with great results.

I can't say enough about Dr. Buckingham. I have been to many chiropractors over the years and not one of them takes the approach of Dr. Buck. He is patient, gentle and cares about improving your health. He describes what causes the issue and what he intends to do to treat the problem. He has multiple approaches to your healthcare and not the typical 'one size fits all' chiropractor, not just a back cracker. Dr.
Buck gives you homework with stretching and strength exercises where I have a role in improving my health. I have seen very significant improvement over a short time frame. The staff is amazing! They are very courteous and kind, I love the text message reminders that come from the office. The massage chairs are great and a nice way to prepare for your treatment. I highly recommend Dr. Michael Buckingham!

When my husband had a severe back spasm Dr. Buckingham went out of his way to see him multiple times per day/week even after office hours until his back was healed. I don't know what we would have done without him. Doc is a true professional and an expert in his field.

Dr. Buckingham is the first chiropractor I have found since moving here 11 years ago who has helped me. His staff are very accommodating and he knows his stuff! I highly recommend him!

Dr. B is thorough and thoughtful and takes time to make sure that all of your concerns are addressed. The benefits of his adjustments last longer than I've experienced with other chiropractors. He's helped me with a lot of aches and pains over the years. In addition, my boyfriend went in for an emergency adjustment one day for lower back pain, and Dr. B quickly identified a rare disc problem and sent him to the ER immediately, helping to save him from paralysis. We're so grateful. Dr. Buckingham knows his stuff.

The Ladies at the front desk are very nice and helpful they always greet you with a smile. I love the laid back atmosphere it helps me not dread walking in! Dr. Buckingham is great, he listens to what you have to say and is determined to help you ! He wants to keep you from having surgery ! He's polite and makes you feel like you've known him forever!!
Jeananne Tymann
By far, the best chiropractor I have ever seen. Not only does he provide excellent care, but he truly care about his patients and is an all around good person. I have been a patient of Dr. Buckingham for a few years now and has treated me through 2 pregnancies and I am certain that he is a big reason that I was able to maintain activity throughout both. My husband and I are both patients as well as our parents and siblings. I would recommend him to anyone seeking exceptional care. My kids also love coming with me to see him and Tara and the other ladies in the office. I won't go anywhere else! Top notch!

Dr. Michael Buckingham's healing hands and holistic approach to medicine have cured my physical ailments including sever abdominal pain and lower back pain due to 5 years of stress, fatigue, and depression. Within a time frame of 6 weeks, my excruciating pain has now been alleviated and I find myself with returned vitality and energy! I literally believed that I would continue a pain-filled existence.
As an actress, my career requires that my body stay tuned as a fine instrument. I now feel freedom, lightness in my being, my body, mind and soul- The combination of acupuncture and adjustments targeted at my "weak spots," have brought me healing.

I joined the gym in January 2009 and began working with a personal trainer and Dr. Buckingham. In the short time since then I have felt my body change from a slow downhill slide to an uphill journey. I have lost weight and body fat, and have gained muscle, strength, and energy. Even more important is the pleasure of feeling that I have a team on my side, and my overall sense of well-being is excellent.
