About me

Hi, I’m Dr. Chris Collins. I’m the owner and doctor at Axia Chiropractic in Chattanooga, TN. I’m also a writer, speaker, and entrepreneur, and, let’s not forget, I am a very lucky husband with two beautiful children!

A question I keep coming back to is: why do people get stuck?

I’m especially interested in the things that are often missed but worth considering. Sometimes people are doing a lot of the right things and still not getting where they want to go. That’s usually when I want to zoom out, look at the bigger picture, and ask whether we’re starting from the right foundation. For much of my career, that has meant studying the nervous system, the upper cervical spine, how the body compensates, and the patterns that can keep people from adapting and recovering well.

Our health matters tremendously to the rest of life: doing meaningful work, caring for the people we love, adapting through difficult seasons, and connecting more fully in our communities.

My passion shapes nearly everything I do, from caring for patients at my clinic to writing, speaking, and sitting down with people who are building meaningful things in Chattanooga. I love finding the one thread that connects to something bigger. It’s all connected!
