About me

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.

My work is in the science of why people get stuck in their health, life, and work. I like asking questions about foundational things that are worth considering but often missed — like when health becomes stagnant! 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 telling the stories of people building meaningful things in Chattanooga. It’s all connected!
