Meet the Doctors

 Dr. Karen Ferguson is a 1991 graduate of Ohio University and a 1995 graduate of Life University. Dr. Karen began her quest for health after a neck injury and a chiropractic adjustment, prompted her to switch her desiredprofession from physical therapy to chiropractic. Her passion for wanting to be a chiropractor is centered on her desire to help pregnant women and children. Dr. Karen became certified in pediatrics adjusting (adjusting babies) as well as The Webster`s technique (an adjustment to help turn a breech baby while in utero) while still in school. Her passion also fueled her desire to have her children at home. All four children have been born at home and are being raised without the use of drugs and vaccinations. Dr. Karen has furthered her expertise to include being a certified doula (a labor coach). Using her life experience and knowledge, Dr. Karen has created a thriving practice in Acworth, GA with her husband and chiropractor Dr. Shawn Ferguson. Currently, Ferguson Family Chiropractic boasts a large pediatric practice, half of which are children and pregnant women. In fact, Drs. Karen and Shawn are constantly welcoming new patients into the world and into the practice, often times going to homes or hospitals to adjust the newborn and mom minutes after birth. When Dr. Karen is not busy being a mom, wife or chiropractor she is a regular speaker at chiropractic conferences around the country.

Dr. Shawn Ferguson graduated from Life University in 2000. He is the caring father of four beautiful children ages 5 to 14 years old. Dr. Shawn became involved in chiropractic nearly 15 years ago, when he and a friend produced a series of chiropractic commercials for cable TV. At that time Dr. Shawn was in the Air Force National Guard. One day while working on the commercials at Dobbins AFB he met a beautiful young sergeant in the Army National Guard studying for a chiropractic exam (the rest was history). Drs. Shawn and Karen were married in 1993 and began Ferguson Family Chiropractic in 1995. Dr. Shawn was honorably discharged from the National Guard that same year for refusing to take a vaccination and after this experience he decided to enroll in chiropractic school. Currently, Dr. Shawn is busy growing one of the largest chiropractic practices in Georgia. He is serving, currently, as the Chairman of the Board of Trustees for Life University and Today`s Chiropractic magazine. When Dr. Shawn is not busy being a husband, father, or chiropractor he enjoys racing as a competitive cyclist.
