Our mission is to provide the highest quality of chiropractic care possible by utilizing the latest and most proven methods. To do this we must not only treat the specific conditions, but also take the time to engage each individual with a customized care plan that gives that patient the best chance at remaining well. Education during ongoing care is a goal that will reduce the patients need for the doctor's care and help them become more independent, confident, and healthy individuals. Our tools to accomplish this include high quality specific corrective chiropractic care, customized nutritional programs, physiotherapy, muscle therapy, acupuncture, exercise consulting, and ongoing patient education on various health and wellness related topics.Our office has extensive interaction with all specialties in the medical profession. We accept chiropractic patients from other professionals as well as refer patients for consultations in non-chiropractic cases. Our goals are to work together to promote the best health care possible for all patients.

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.

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!

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!

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!!

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.

It is with great enthusiasm that I write this testimonial to the exceptional treatment abilities of Dr. Michael Buckingham. By way of personal background, I am fortunate to have two chiropractors in my immediate family, a brother and a brother-in-law - both of whom are exceptional doctors. I am told by both my brothers as well as many other chiropractors that I have tried that I am very difficult to adjust because of my unusual flexibility I also have repetitive use injuries in my upper back and shoulders from my early days a s a competitive swimmer.
That being said I have never had a better chiropractic adjustment than the one I received from Dr. Buckingham. I originally found Dr. Buckingham while I was living in Southern California. I later moved to Washington, DC. I found myself frequently traveling West back to California just to receive an adjustment from Dr. Buckingham as he is the ONLY chiropractor that has been able to help by back and shoulders.
I was happy to hear that he was moving his practice to North Carolina because I will not have to travel as far to receive care. I enthusiastically endorse the services of Dr. Michael Buckingham. He is a wonderful doctor and I strongly recommend his services to anyone.
