attention of Lt. Gov. Casey Cagle in 2015 and earned his office’s health partner award.

For all of her efforts, Cris received the 2013 Health Hero award from the Cobb Chamber of Commerce, was named the 2015 Kennesaw Business Association Citizen of the Year and the 2020 Kennesaw Citizen of the Year. She was Chiropractor of the Year in 2009, an honor given by the Georgia Council of Chiropractors, and her practice was named a Top 25 Small Business in 2016 by the Cobb Chamber.

In 2011, Cris was invited to the White House with the National League of Cities to share the success in creating a community that values health and wellness and to teach others how to scale a program for their community.

The past seven years have been devoted to her practice and family. The office has experienced exponential growth and has expanded in new directions since 2020. The pandemic “brought an awareness that you do not have to be symptomatic to be experiencing an issue and how important it is to make sure comorbidities are decreased or eliminated, so the body can properly fight illness,” she said.

To promote optimum health, Dr. Cris teaches these principles in her practice:

Drink plenty of water.

Watch your nutrition.

Exercise 30 minutes each day.

Surround yourself with a supportive community.

Maintain a properly functioning nervous system.

Chiropractic care can help with all the pillars, but especially the last one.

“As chiropractors, our job is to make sure your brain is talking to your body, and your body is talking back to your brain, uninterrupted,” Cris said. “When we find a disconnect, we call that a subluxation. In our office, the focus is detecting and correcting subluxations, so your body can function at its optimal level.”

Eaton Chiropractic is in network with every insurance company, including Kaiser, as well as Medicare. Not every patient is accepted for care; after an initial consultation, done at Cris’ expense, each person is evaluated to make sure he or she is a good fit. If not, she’ll recommend the person to another office.

Dr. Cris and Dr. Aaron Young outgrew the historic building on Main Street, and recently relocated to Vaughn Road, off Cobb Parkway, near Whole Foods.

“We absolutely love our space. I call it our little glass treehouse; one of the negotiations in our lease was to be able to move our Swift Kids Running Program to the head of the Noonday Creek Trail. My new office sits right at the head of the trail,” she said. “We are incredibly excited to be a part of the Town Center CID (Community Improvement District) family and can’t wait to build the community here that we had in downtown Kennesaw.”
