Buckhead Pain Specialists

I have been to many places for my back issues over the years. Recently, after nearly a year of constant leg and back pain due to a pinched nerve related to sciatica, I had made the difficult decision to have surgery. I had exhausted every option, from salves to a new bed, a car that was higher up, a better chair at work, new supportive shoes, acupuncture, spinal injections, meds, and even special socks (yes, I was desperate!). I was ready for surgery (not really) because I needed relief. After seeing those commercials about the small incision surgery and instant relief, my partner started a search – but instead of surgery, he stumbled on Buckhead Spine Specialists. On my first visit, I recognized instantly the difference. The comprehensive approach to spine and back health. A multi-modal approach that works! The combination of chiropractic along with supportive therapies like hydro massage, e-stim, cold and hot therapies, ultrasound, and decompression to name a few – had me feeling like I had left a back spa! The days of “lay down - crack-crack – pay on your way out” were over. It’s clear these are trained and talented people who love what they do. This was care and support like I had never experienced and the best part – it worked and it’s still working! Within a couple visits I was realizing a difference; the pain was subsiding, and I felt stronger! Within two weeks I had already made recommendations to anyone that had back pain. I promise you this is the place you are looking for – I only wish I had found it sooner! The staff is supportive, friendly and kind, they leave little doubt that you are their primary focus and your overall wellness is their desire. They are so much more than chiropractic – they are spine health specialists! I am grateful to have found them – I promise you will too!

The crew at Buckhead really cares about getting you back to feeling your best. They do a great job!!

I want to give a great big thank you to Buckhead Spine Specialist for all of their exceptional care. From the staff to the doctors they are wonderful people. A very special thank you to Dr. Eric Shenendorf for helping to alleviate my lower back and hip pain and to Dr. Allen Reed for his amazing work on my feet. I have had chronic pain for many years, Though the pain is not completely gone, after only one session with Dr. Reed, the pain has lessened so much, I could not believe it. No other doctor, in four and a half years has been able to reduce my pain at all, Dr. Reed did this in just one session. Absolutely amazing. My hat is off to these fine men and staff at Buckhead Spine Specialist that do so much to help those in pain. Thank you.

Dr. Eric Schenendorf and his staff have been absolutely amazing in rehabilitating me with a very painful herniated disc. During my first flare up Dr. Eric went out of his way to see me outside of office hours so that I could at least 'function'. After making sure I would get a fast and proper MRI diagnosis I was able to experience a very effective treatment plan that included Decompression and all the powerful magic that Buckhead Spine Specialists has to offer. I would like to give my gratitude also to Dr. Allen Reed. I have experienced quite a few physical therapists in my life, yet not with that many results till I came into the care of Dr. Allen who has changed my perspective and understanding of what is possible. His results are absolutely amazing! Both, Dr. Eric Schenendorf and Dr. Allen Reed, are highly skilled and knowledgeable and very compassionate and will go the extra mile to get you out of pain and provide you with the knowledge and care for your maintenance. In nowadays medical world it has become rare to find the whole package where expertise AND heart come together to care for you. My work is very physical and it is with thanks to these two incredible doctors and their amazing team that I am able to continue doing what I love. Thank you for all you have done for me and continue to do!

I first came to Buckhead Spine Specialists around September of 2017 to see Dr. Alyse Smith at the suggestion of a mutual friend who also went for chiropractic therapy. Her focus and capabilities are absolutely amazing...since then, I've also come to know and respect Dr. Schenendorf, Sabine (massage therapy at its finest) and the rest of the very courteous and attentive staff. The care they give their patients and the extensive technology they have available to support their healing goals is truly astounding. Over the past several months, I've had the distinct pleasure of working with Dr. Allen Reed. I've spent most of my life in various forms of pain that I've just ignored. I've only recently become aware of may due to Dr. Reed's amazing ability to quickly evaluate and understand the entire body and not just focus on 'what hurts'. What started as a pain in my shoulder we soon learned was connected to a labyrinth of connected nerves, tendons, muscles, and poor postural practices that my body had just 'learned' to deal with over time...a kind of disharmonious balance of sorts. I've spent years searching for a therapist, and a friend, like Dr. Allen. He is ,without a doubt, the most extensively knowledgeable and passionate therapist I've ever worked with who truly cares about his craft and in the experience that each and patient has while working with him. Rather than 'stop doing the sport/activity you love' like so many doctors have told me, he started explaining the WHY behind the issues I was having and walked me down the path toward resolving them. With his help, in 4 months, my body has completely transformed after 35 years of being the way it was...as well as my understanding of how the body works so that I can maintain the good practices with the knowledge of WHY I'm doing what I'm doing and not just doing mindless exercises...I have already convinced several friends to see him for various ailments and they have all had similar successful experiences with him. I cannot give Dr. Reed a high enough recommendation.

It was very easy to make an appointment. Dr. Eric and the staff was very nice and welcoming. Highly recommend this place after you’ve had an accident.
