AlternaHealth Solutions

Fantastic experience: These folks are really amazing! The combination of functional therapy, chiropractic care and strategies to implement have really helped me get to the root of so many neuromuscular issues. I came in with layers and layers of issues and such low energy that i could barely handle life day-to-day, but over the past few months AlternaHealth has put me back together and given me a new lease on life. Love you all!!!!

Fantastic experience: Dr Friedman and Dr Ali are amazing! They are both so helpful and caring! They genuinely care about their patients.

Fantastic experience: It’s started working here a little bit ago and it’s amazing to see the amount of progress and help this practice helps the patients with. From adjustments, functional therapy, massage therapy, and nutrition coaching I have been able to see a whole new side to healthcare where drs actually care about you as a person and individual. Took my daughters in for nutrition consult and already seeing little improvements from just starting the process. Highly recommend!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman is truly one of a kind. I’ve never experienced chiropractic care like this before. He genuinely cares about his patients, not just their physical adjustments but their overall well being. He never rushes through appointments and always takes the time to listen and address whatever you need. You can really feel that you’re in good hands and that your health matters to him. Dr. Ali is also amazing, she’s incredibly knowledgeable and educated, and you can tell how much she loves what she does. She explains things so clearly and thoughtfully, and she’s always warm and friendly. Dr. Sean is fantastic too, super kind and welcoming every time I come in. I’m incredibly grateful to have found this practice and have nothing but good things to say. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: I am under Dr.Friedman’s care since 2009. He is one of the best chiropractors in the world. Also Dr.Shaun and Dr.Ali help me a lot. Martina, Candase, Greg at the office are awesome too. Thank you so much for helping me. I went to AHS for QSM3 seminar this weekend. It was great. We learned a lot. He is the master of QSM3, Thank you.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman is a leading thinker in chiropractic. He continues to evolve his understanding and method to help people release chronic and challenging issue

Fantastic experience: I recently attended the QSM3 seminar, and it was nothing short of amazing! The knowledge and expertise of the practitioners are outstanding. They truly know their stuff and are passionate about what they do. If you're looking for exceptional care, look no further. Go here, and you will receive the greatest care you can possibly imagine. Highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: Great seminar for any chiropractor wanting to truly understand body distortion in the subluxated state and how to free the body to be open and heal. Dr Friedman is a master of his art. For any patient looking for a better life, this is the place. Jerry Perrella, DC

Fantastic experience: This weekend at Dr. Russell Friedman’s AlternaHealth office he is sharing his incredible teaching talent that gives us the ability to give the gift of QSM3 to our patients. Thank you Doctor Russell Friedman for helping us to be better doctors.

Fantastic experience: Love this office and the docs here. I’ve been here a few times for a chiropractic seminar and am very impressed with the quality of the space and the humans who practice here. Great vibes all around.

Fantastic experience: I really enjoyed Dr. Friedman's class. I'm always impressed by his passion for helping people and his commitment to a deeper understanding of the body's mechanics and how to correct issues and restore balance. I also found his office environment to be very warm and welcoming.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman is the best! He is a true chiropractic Guru. He has trained chiropractors all over the country (and world). You will literally be in great hands under his care.

Fantastic experience: This office is home of the gurus. I’m an upper cervical chiro that does this work, but I’m here to learn from the best. The three Chiros here are on the cutting edge of spinal care. I come here from Chicago because it’s where the knowledge and expertise is. Talk to a medical docs and see how uninformed they are about actually getting a problem solved. You’ll run in circles and wasting time. Trust me I’ve been through it. Heres a bunch of excellent chiropractors here learning from the best.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman and his team are amazing! Have spent time learning from him and receiving care. Has been a life changing experience for me. Highly recommend everyone to run in to change your own life.

Fantastic experience: As a Doctor of Chiropractic, I am very particular when it comes to who is treating me. I recently came into a situation where the adjustments I was receiving were not working. I was having numbness in my left leg, in my feet, and arms. I saw Dr. Friedman and after the first adjustment my symptoms were reduced by 50%. After the 3rd adjustment it was 90% improved. I now see him periodically for maintenance. The amazing thing is the adjustments were so gentle no popping or cracking, that it didn't feel like he was doing anything. Then I stood up I was like Wow!. Highly recommend Alternative Health Solutions and Dr. Russell Friedman *** Update 6/2025 Dr Friedman does it again! I have 2 herniated discs and had an epidural that didn't work. Dr Friedman has changed the pain from severe to barely noticeable. He keeps me going and functioning at a high level again.

Fantastic experience: There is no better or more experienced care and treatment anywhere. I have been a patient for 27 years!!!!! Dr Friedman, Dr Ali and Dr Shaun have all helped me though many health issues and I will be eternally grateful! My latest adventure was shooting pain around my jaw. I was out of town at the time. Called and asked if i could come straight to the office when I landed back in Atlanta. Of course they fit me in as I was in pretty severe pain. Saw Dr Friedman, he adjusted me and i instantly felt the pressure release!!!i am back (now- 1 week later) to ensure I stay out of pain as I continue to heal. I cannot say enough about the level of care and caring from this team!!!! Stop searching and make Alterna Health your. Chiropractic home !!!! Candy Ross

Fantastic experience: I was a sceptic regarding chiropractic treatment until I met Dr. Russell Friedman. He was still attending Life College when he convinced me to start my upper cervical care with him. I did not know at the time how much his care would help me, especially the Grostic technique. He has literally relieved pain, prevented pain, and kept me from having surgery on my upper cervical spine. For a time I swayed away from Grostic as a treatment which resulted in me returning to a great deal of pain. The pain was so severe I started to think about having steroid injections and surgery. Fortunately returning to Dr. Friedman and Grostic reduced my pain tremendously. Russell presented his initial explanation of Chiropractic from an engineering perspective, as a schooled engineer, in order for me to understand the relationship between chiropractic and physical science. I gained further insight through his adding the biological and philosophies of wellness to achieve a better life. He is the most intelligent, dedicated, and passionate person I have ever met, just to mention a couple of his attributes. By having Russell on our side we are in the best hands to achieve a less painful and healthier life. I am proud he and his family call me a friend. I have trusted my children with his care. All of this has manifested from knowing this wonderful man, human being, and a sincere caring person. It is his contribution by making me a healthier person through chiropractic that makes me an advocate and not a sceptic. Thank you Russell and your team. Sincerely, Keith Maddox and my family.

Fantastic experience: I struggled with shoulder pain for over a year, and it was seriously affecting my sleep. Dr. Friedman and Dr. Ali assured me they could help—and they did. I experienced relief after just the first visit. I met with both Dr. Ali and Dr. Shaun, who are truly exceptional. After my second visit, I was sleeping through the night and barely thinking about the pain. By the third visit, my shoulder had improved so much that I was able to return to gardening. Now, I’m no longer constantly aware of my shoulder, and I feel like myself again. Everyone at this practice is incredibly kind and welcoming—it truly feels like being part of a family. I cannot recommend AlternaHealth highly enough.

Fantastic experience: My persistent symptoms are finally subsiding with both alignment and functional therapy.

Fantastic experience: You can tell a lot about an office based on turnover. This is an amazing team. It’s been 100% consistent and exceptional over ten years. No turnover unlike the office (Chiropractor) we went to prior to here. Our family has received the best care from AlternaHealth. If you have not tried them yet you should.

Fantastic experience: The team at Alterna Health team has been GOD's hands, feet and love for my family, in perhaps the most difficult time of our lives. The care, the expertise and the delivery of these are second to none.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman and Ali are the best!!! Former athlete and have old injuries and haven’t found better chiropractors out there. Live out in California but when still in town, I always use Ali and Dr. Friedman. I feel more aligned and have healed a lot faster through see them periodically. Highly recommended to any friends or family members.

Fantastic experience: I have been here for a few years and by far the best ever, anywhere. Shaun , Allie, Dr Russell, amazing!! If you don’t come here, well, you should!! Love you guys, Joe❤️❤️

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman has been my chiropractor for several years. I have Parkinson’s and the care I get from Dr. Friedman and Dr. Shaun is outstanding. My posture and back pain have greatly improved under their care. I feel they are helping my Parkinson’s symptoms from rapidly progressing. My wife has been a patient of Dr. Friedman’s since 2006. Dr. Friedman and Dr. Allie take great care of her. My wife doesn’t suffer from the severe back pain she once had. We think Dr. Friedman, Dr. Sean and Dr. Allie are the best chiropractors in the Atlanta area. All other staff are great too!

Fantastic experience: I would not be able to live my life without these amazing humans and the expertise and care they provide. They treat my entire family and I credit them with single-handedly extending my mom’s life and quality of life!

Fantastic experience: Spot on analysis and treatment.

Fantastic experience: I have been going to Dr. Friedman for over 10 years. He is the best in the business hands down. I have back issues and love outdoor activities and with his care over the years I been able to enjoy doing all my outdoor activities pain free. Thank you Dr. Friedman

Fantastic experience: I have scoliosis. Doctor Friedman keeps me upright. My posture shows the excellent results. I am so thankful I found Alterna Health!!!

Fantastic experience: BEST CHIROPRACTOR! I’m a college student and got my first adjustment at 3 months old :)

Fantastic experience: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “I cannot recommend these Doctors enough! From the moment I walked into the clinic, I was greeted warmly and felt instantly at ease. They took the time to listen to my concerns and thoroughly explained the treatment plan, making sure I felt comfortable every step of the way. After just one session, I noticed a significant improvement in my pain and mobility. Dr. Friedman is extremely knowledgeable, attentive, and truly cares about his patients’ well-being. The level of care I received went above and beyond what I expected. If you’re looking for skilled, compassionate care that really makes a difference, I highly recommend AlternaHealth Solutions. The whole experience has been life-changing!”

Fantastic experience: AlternaHealth Solutions is truly the gold standard when it comes to chiropractic care. Dr. Friedman, Dr. Ali, and Dr. Shaun form an exceptional team that brings together their unique strengths and approaches to provide a comprehensive and holistic treatment experience. Each chiropractor brings their own perspective and methodology to the table, but together, they work in perfect synergy to create a custom plan tailored to your individual needs. What sets them apart is their deep passion for patient care and their commitment to not just treating symptoms, but improving overall structure, form, and movement. They don’t offer one-size-fits-all solutions—they’re constantly adjusting and refining your plan to ensure you're gaining strength, flexibility, and overall well-being. And let's not forget the support team! They are equally fantastic—friendly, efficient, and always there to make your visit as smooth as possible. If you're looking for a chiropractic practice that truly cares about your long-term health and provides personalized, top-tier care, AlternaHealth Solutions is the place to go!

Fantastic experience: Truly some of the best Dr's out there. They not only care about your health, but are also incredibly skilled in finding answers and healing to your issues. I've been so blessed to experience healing because of them.

Fantastic experience: I have been coming here for years. I brought our daughter at the age of 3yo when she started getting reoccurring ear infections. After 2 treatments with Dr Friedmans gentle manipulation she fought off the next ear infection on her own and didn’t get ear infections anymore. It was important to me that the practitioners method was gentle and not popping and cracking. As a nurse, it was important to me that we try whatever we could before considering surgery. I’m so glad we did!

Fantastic experience: This review has been a long time coming. I needed to share this, no matter how long it took. I went to see Dr. Friedman a couple of months ago. Not sure how I even made it there. My vertigo was intense. I couldn’t even see words on the computer or walk without feeling like I was falling. In short, after Dr. Friedman adjusted me and I was able to walk without feeling like I was going to fall AND I was able to see without blurriness. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, Dr. Friedman. You are a Godsend.

Fantastic experience: I had an appointment with Dr. Friedman and Dr. Puro today to get an adjustment for my cervical spondylosis and disc degeneration. I just wanted to share with everyone that is reading this review that I have seen so much improvement in my entire spine since I started seeing this group of doctors. Every doctor at this practice is highly qualified plus they care about the patient! If I had to guess you are also searching for that right group of doctors that you can call home because I was searching too.:.but I have finally found my home! Give them a try.. I bet you want be disappointed!

Fantastic experience: I always feel as if I'm walking into a restful, accepting, loving, family members home. I feel respected & well cared for. It is always a pleasure to feel "healed", or at least on the road to a much better version of myself. AHS welcomes me to a seat at their "table", as there will always be room and seats at my table for them all. True healing is the only & best available here at AHS!

Fantastic experience: AlternaHealth Solutions is the best! Great staff, wonderful atmosphere, and excellent care.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Freeman has changed my life. I went to him as a referral from my orthodontist not knowing what to expect. I have done chiropractic since I was a young girl but never really understood what chiropractic truly meant until I visited Dr. Freeman‘s office. It’s above chiropractic. It is mental physical spiritual, and truly the best experience of my life my anxiety was so high and my symptoms were so bad that everything settled in my neck and my head and he has made a remarkable difference in how I feel. He’s truly a blessing in my life.

Fantastic experience: After a lifetime of injuries that limited my activities and caused chronic pain, AlternaHealth Solutions is getting me back on track. My mobility has improved and my pain diminished. Prior to the AHS team’s treatment, joint repair and replacement surgeries were the only options presented. I’m very excited to see and feel the progression from their care.

Fantastic experience: Whenever I get bent out of shape, Dr. Friedman has been my go-to (for years now) to get realigned. Through his care, my posture and overall health have improved immensely. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: They have completely changed our daughter’s life and health. We will be forever grateful and highly recommended AlternaHealth Solutions! Here she is working on her breathing techniques with Shaw.

Fantastic experience: I have received the best care at Alterna Health Solutions. I cannot say enough good things about this group. If you need pain relief and want to do it without drugs, this is the place to be.

Fantastic experience: I had horrible and painful sciatica. I couldn’t stand for more than a few minutes. With treatments from Dr Friedman and therapy from Dr Ali and Dr Shaun at AlternaHealth Solutions, I was feeling better and out of pain. Thank you so much!

Fantastic experience: I have been blown away by the care, support, and expertise of this practice. Each of the physicians is an expert in their field and focused on the success and overall well being of their patients. I would HIGHLY recommend them without reservation.

Fantastic experience: Best doctors in town! I have been going on and off for 15 years and will never go elsewhere!

Fantastic experience: This place is incredible!!! They have done wonders to improve my posture, relieve headaches, and fix my back pain. Been going for 5 years and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon!

Fantastic experience: Always feel better after a visit to Alterna! They are like family since starting treatment over 10 ten years ago!

Fantastic experience: I found AlternaHealth after I dislocated my shoulder and needed immediate help to eliminate pain and regain neck mobility - now I’ve been visiting for 3+ years, throughout multiple injuries, and cannot stress enough how much these people have changed my life for the better. The preventative care, soft tissue therapy, and chiropractic adjustment that is given in this office is beyond outstanding. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman has helped me get to a better place physically. If you want to get better this is the practice you want to go to

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman and his team have made a difference in my wellbeing. It did take several weeks to see improvement but I am grateful for their efforts. My back pain is greatly reduced and I am beginning to move more freely. Their approach is unique and effective. They really do a good job of explaining why your problem exists and how they plan to address the problem. Can’t say enough about how they have helped me.

Fantastic experience: I go to AlternaHealth for lower back issues. Russell Friedman has done a fabulous job relieving my lower back pain and pressure. I was amazed to see my oxygen saturation level was 100% after my visits. I wouldn’t have noticed if it wasn’t for my Fitbit app. It took me five or six visits to realize the connection. (My normal oxygen range is from 96-98%). NUCCA chiropractic care is the only type of chiropractor I would ever go to!

Fantastic experience: Best chiropractors in our area. I have been seeing all 3 doctors. Dr. Friedman, Dr. Ali & Dr. Shaun. They have helped me with everything from the typical head/neck alignment to more complex things like gerd & digestive health. I would recommend Alterna to anyone looking to improve their health. A+++

Fantastic experience: As always the staff were helpful and friendly. Candace is awesome.

Fantastic experience: I love Candace Swanson. She is their Clinical Design Nutritionist and she is helping me and several of my friends and clients regain their health. I cannot recommend her enough.

Fantastic experience: Amazing doctors and care. I've been under Dr. Friedman's care for 10 years now and it is amazing how consistently brilliant his work has been for me and my family. Shaun and Ali take such pride in their skill and just give their all in the room....very smart doctors. I would suggest this practice to anyone i care for! A+++++++

Fantastic experience: Excellent health care! Headaches and brain fog have greatly improved under Dr. Friedman's attention. In addition, Dr Friedman, Dr. Ali, Dr. Shaun and the entire staff have created an atmosphere whereby one is treated more as a family member than a patient. A huge thank you to all at Alterna Health Care!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a patient at Alterna Health Solutions for almost 2 years now. They’ve helped me immensely with sciatic nerve pain running down from my lower back, to my hip, my knee and foot. To the point I couldn’t walk. Not only have they helped me while I’ve been in pain, they have also helped me with a lot of PT. I’m a fan of prevention, and they are the place to help you heal and stay healthy. I hope you don’t need to get to the point of needing chiropractic care, but if you do, you will be so pleased and grateful for their help.

Fantastic experience: Dr Friedman and his team with Dr Ali Friedman and Dr Shaun Puro all such a wonderful family full chiropractic approach in making your body truly function the way your body should . I have had a neck alignment problem for most of my life.Dr Friedman has been the only one to get to the root of the problem . Anything to do with the spine or muscular or the brain they have so many wonderful techniques to truly make a difference. Dr Ali has helped me so much with my breathing technique and all my nerve issues that run up the back of my neck into my brain allowing me to function without so much stress every day that I live in .Dr Shaun has truly help with all my body aches and getting them moving the way they should. Dr Shaun focuses on different exercises that help keep you out of that stressed/ anxiety feeling that so many of us have each and every day. It truly has been life-changing for me to be free from stress, anxiety and out of pain that I’ve had for so very long.

Fantastic experience: The whole team at AlternaHealth is top notch. I’ve been seeing them for years and can tell you firsthand they are a key component to maintaining my health, which is complicated by sustained trauma to my neck and back following a car accident. Dr. Shaun Puro is an expert in functional muscle therapy. He listens well and tailors his functional muscle therapies based on my particular areas of greatest concern, while also being aware of and considering my unique history over time. Between my time with him and Dr. Russell Friedman’s adjustments, I feel like a new person by the time I leave.

Fantastic experience: I have been battling lower back pain for the past couple of months. With a wonderful massage from Greg and care from Dr. Friedman, Dr. Ali, and Dr. Shaun I am on the mend. The entire staff genuinely cares about finding the root cause of your pain and caring for it.

Fantastic experience: What else can I say except at Alterna Health you definitely get the A-team! After dealing with nerve pain from a spider bite for over a year, back and forth to the hospital multiple times, physical therapy, multiple chiropractors and neuromuscular therapy I was almost to the point of surgery. With my hope diminishing I made an appointment at Alterna Health and once you walk through the door you can sense the welcoming/caring feeling I first met with Dr. Friedman for the initial exam and after he is done analyzing the results he creates a tailored plan that is just for me as we are all unique in our own ways. With his tailored plan and some calculations the A-team at Alterna Health they were able to correct the issue and not just mask the problem. Plus, all without surgery, injections or pain medications. Over the next several months of EXCELLENT care from Alterna Health through Dr Friedman's adjustments, combined with functional therapy from Dr Ali and Dr Shaun and some home exercises/stretches we were able to eliminate the debilitating nerve pain and then address the remaining issues from not being able to walk normally for over a year. Now, I'm on the golf course 1-2 times a week, walking and carrying my clubs. 6 months ago, I would have never imagined I would be able to do this. I'm so THANKFUL for Dr Friedman, Dr Ali, Dr Shaun and the entire team at Alterna Health and all they have done for me. I still can't believe IM ABLE TO ENJOY LIFE AGAIN!

Fantastic experience: Life changing help for me and my patients is what I have received working with Dr. Russell Friedman and Ali and Shaun. As a both a patient and student I can’t say thanks enough for the much needed improvement in patient care that the QSM3 approach provides. The doctors are compassionate healers and I love the care they put into everything they do. Thanks for helping me get my head on straight!

Fantastic experience: The doctors and team here are best-in-world. I practice QSM3 in Michigan and I travel to Atlanta for my care. Outstanding team, outstanding care, incredible results. There’s no popping, cracking, or twisting and it’s the most effective procedure I’ve ever seen. Thank you for such wonderful care.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman has helped me when no one else could. I had been to other chiropractors that were not able to help me. I was referred to him by another chiropractor that had done all that he could. I had 2 knee injuries and a whiplash injury that immobilized my body. I was always in pain. He has restored my mobility and eliminated my pain. He can see how the body works and how to correct it in a way that no one else can do. His treatments are gentle and painless. Dr. Friedman is a very caring man who takes a genuine interest in his patients. He always spends a little extra time with you and cares about what is going on in your life.

Fantastic experience: Alternahealth has been a life saver! I had a back injury, and as a person with a low threshold for pain it was unbearable. Luckily I was able to get the help that I needed @ Alternahealth Solutions. The difference was literally felt within the session. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: There is NOTHING ordinary about the staff or the place. I've been under the care of Dr. Friedman for almost 8 years and I'm thankful to God for this incredible place of healing. This place has fueled hope when doctors didn't have any solutions and I am better because of them. I love that they are focused on getting to the root of the problem and helping clients live better! Check them out!!

Fantastic experience: The best place for your health! Candace has helped my family and myself for years!!!

Fantastic experience: When I arrived at AlternaHealth Solutions 18 months ago, I was broken both mentally and physically. A “regular” chiropractor adjusted my neck and immediate sharp pain went through my head and cervical spine. In addition to the pain that was 24 hours a day, I started having severe panic attacks, trigeminal nerve issues, suboccipital nerve issues, and more that began as a result of the adjustment. I had multiple x-rays, two MRIs, and I went to TEN different doctors trying to find out what was wrong with me for a year and a half following the initial adjustment by the “regular” chiropractor. I was told nothing was wrong with me and prescribed multiple medications for my nerves and depression. I was lost!! I found Dr. Russell Friedman on the internet and looked up his QSM3 method and testimonials from other patients. In a desperate search for help, I got in my car and drove for 4 hours to his office and literally found the man that saved my life. He was the only person that took x-rays and said, “I can see what is wrong with you, and I can fix it. It will take a while, but I can fix it if you trust me.” I will never forget those words. I finally felt validated and hopeful. On that initial visit, Dr. Russel Friedman, Dr. Ali Friedman-Puro, and Dr. Shaun Puro all worked overtime after the office closed and gave me a QSM3 adjustment and hours of functional therapy. I drove 4 hours back home and literally cried most of the way because someone had finally HEARD me and CARED about me. Dr. Friedman personally called me at home multiple times to check on me and make sure I was okay after that first visit. Literally, the next day I felt better. Not healed yet, but better. I have not had a single panic attack since the first adjustment he did. My physical and mental body heals a little more after every visit. For 18 months, I have continued my 8 hour round trip journey twice a month. I have come so far and feel like a normal person again.

Fantastic experience: I came into alternahealth with terrible migraine and TMJ. I wasn't able to move my mouth without terrible pain. They were able to pinpoint the issues and not only correct my posture but resolves my migraines and TMJ issues. They always have a relaxing calming environment that strives to be safe during the pandemic and relaxing. After a month I felt like family and I can't imagine what my life would have been like without their help. Thank you guys so much for making me a better version of myself.

Fantastic experience: From the minute you walk in the door, the office atmosphere is friendly, personable, comfortable and calming. I have been going to Dr. Friedman for almost 10 years. He is a cut above the rest for chiropractic care. He is not a crack your back chiropractor, you can read about his technique on the AlternaHealth Solutions website, and he has saved me from physical pain I thought I would never get rid of. The entire professional staff - Greg, Candace, Ali, Shaun - is highly skilled, and knowledgeable. 5+ Stars from every aspect.

Fantastic experience: To David K/ Ann S, Prior to writing this post, as not only a doctor of this office but as a second generation chiropractor and daughter of Dr. Friedman’s, I wanted to step back and respond without an emotional statement but one that was simply based on fact. I have watched my father (Dr. Friedman) commit for the past 25 years of his life a quality of compassionate care that as a practitioner I can say is not only hard to emulate but one that is beyond a level of integrity and the upmost ethical concern for the people he serves as a health care provider. Despite his own personal struggles both physically and as a natural human, he has never missed one day of work and has always put priority in his performance of services for his patients. I think this year, we can all agree, has been a year of struggle and one that has required not only the awareness to change but the organization and commitment to advance. Our office by the leadership of Dr. Friedman, has risen to this occasion and has evolved, as such; not only does every single employee of AlternaHealth Solutions follow the CDC’s recommended advice for safety but we have gone above and beyond to ensure a place of safety and security by social distancing and by remodeling our entire protocol and office, as a whole. To whom I am responding to, we have done our best and continue to do our best; and I share a high level of sympathy for you, as you feel as though we have let you down and for this I am truly sorry. I hope that you find not only what you are looking for, but health and happiness in your journey moving forward. Dr. Ali Friedman-Puro AlternaHealth Solutions

Fantastic experience: Alternahealth is truly one of the most caring, nurturing environments I have had the privilege of being a part of, I am so grateful for the wonderful team there supporting me and my family's health. Everyone at this office is not only educated and extremely knowledgeable about their craft, they also care so deeply about the well being of their patients, they really go out of their way to cater to our individual needs. I have sent more people than I can count to their office and will continue to as they are sincerely one of a kind in what they do. I love and appreciate everyone at this office and HIGHLY RECOMMEND them if you are looking to optimize your health!

Negative experience: I was so scared to post this, being I thought I was an outlier. However, I have to agree with Mr. David and what he said. It is absolutely mind boggling to me that there are not precautions to protect the patients and staff. I don’t know about Dr. Friedman, but I’m extremely high risk. I love this place but it’s so disturbing how he pretends covid is not real. I have to tell my family and friends to not come here, because who wants an adjustment with a side of Covid? It’s absolutely appalling. Newsflash, Dr. Friedman, you’re the reason medical doctors don’t take chiropractors seriously . You don’t even care about the health of your own patients. I hope you know if we get covid and pass, that means less money in your pockets. Since money is the only thing you care about. What a shame! This place offers top notch care, except common decency for mankind. I will be going on Nextdoor to find a new chiropractor and will post on Nextdoor, so people know to avoid this place. How sad.

Fantastic experience: I have experienced amazing results from my functional therapy and adjustments at Alterna Health Solutions. You can trust this team to do everything they can for you. There is plenty of space in the office to keep socially distant from other patients and the Doctors wear masks (as do I). They listen, ask questions, explain, educate, and never rush. I always leave feeling deeply cared for and very grateful for such incredibly gifted, kind and compassionate doctors. My posture and spine were tilted/curved, twisted and compressed from scoliosis. I am thrilled with the improvement in my posture and back stability! It's really amazing to look in the mirror and see my shoulders level for the first time in my adult life, but more importantly I don't have the pain and symptoms I used to; I can even sleep on my back, which I could never do before. Drs Ali and Shaun have worked on me from head to foot for multiple issues and I'm always amazed at how many techniques they know and apply. They are true students of the body and have a passion to help others. They wipe down the table and instruments with non-toxic natural cleaner before and after each patient. They care about all aspects of your health. I thank God for Dr. Russell Friedman, Dr. Shaun Puro, and Dr. Ali Friedman Puro and staff. I HIGHLY recommend Alterna Health Solutions!

Fantastic experience: This place has changed my life! I was waking up every night with numbness and tingling in my hands and was unable to do basic movements in my daily life without major discomfort in my hips and shoulders. Shaun, Ali, and Dr. Friedman worked together as a team to improve my mobility and daily pains. I can not recommend them enough!

Fantastic experience: I started coming to see the gang at AlternaHealth about 7 months ago. I had limited motion in my arms, was unable to type with my left hand, severe back pain, insomnia and the list goes on. I felt relief within my first session with Dr Ali and the success only multiplied from there. Since then I am now back to working out, sleeping through the night and experiencing drastically less pain throughout my body. Through their extended team I've learned more about my posture, proper form when working out and mobility and stretching exercises I can do between visits and much more. I've worked with all three doctors in the practice and feel safe with regard to safety measures and cleanliness of the office. Big thanks to Doctors Ali, Shaun and Friedman!!

Fantastic experience: Best in the biz.

Fantastic experience: Ali was great! Had a sport related injury and she helped me get back in the game! The team at AlternaHealth is extremely helpful, professional, and genuinely care about their patients well-being and longevity.

Fantastic experience: Love coming here!! I always feel so much better and more knowledgeable as well! I’ve always been so well taken care of by Ali, Shaun, & Dr. Friedman!! Highly recommend

Fantastic experience: I don't know what the previous reviewer is talking about, they have always been wearing masks in the office. I've been coming to Dr friedman, Shawn, and Ali for multiple years, and they always take care of me. I really am grateful for the amount of work that they have done to make sure that my neck is always in alignment, as well as make my back and everything else feel good. All the doctors are very gifted and special, but I especially like Dr Puro the most. I started with Dr Friedman, and he is great also. Ali is also wonderful. I was having severe issues with my neck before I became a patient in 2016, and I don't go to any other chiropractors except for them. Very gentle technique, much better than the crazy snapping and popping that you get with other chiropractors. I think that qsm3 should be the standard of care for all chiropractors and that they should learn this technique, but maybe we will get there one day...

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman has kept me dancing for over 20 years!

Fantastic experience: AlternaHealth has a very knowledgeable and loving staff. Their approach to healing is unique to anything I had heard or experienced before and it made so much sense to me! I'm really grateful they do what they do, that I crossed paths with them and that this approach and care are now the foundation for my family's health and well-being!

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman is amazing! He is the doctor you go to after you are tired of having other doctors fail you or shrug their shoulders at your case. Save yourself pain and come see him first and you will not be disappointed! His staff is amazing, very kind and more than willing to help. I love the atmosphere in the office, always cool, calm, and peaceful.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman and his entire staff are top notch. I drive two hours each way to be under their care. I am very grateful to have found them and have the ability to be cared for by them. I can not recommend them highly enough.

Fantastic experience: There is everyone else, then there's Dr. Friedman. I used to regularly have such terrible back spasms that I could only lie on the floor and whimper. Since I have been seeing him, I haven't had a spasm in years, I feel stronger and healthier and am now going to the gym! He's the best -- by lightyears! What he does is what all chiropractors should be doing! Go at once! You'll never regret it...if you don't you'll never know what a true feeling of wellness is.

Fantastic experience: Doctor Friedman has solved & maintained my long term back pain, his staff are respectful & helpful. The four legged staff are the sweetest! Traveled there from Naples, FL & now Greenville, SC.

Fantastic experience: No better place to go. Great people that take pride in their craft!

Fantastic experience: After 4 years of being unable to receive the QSM3 Chiropractic adjustment, I was finally able to be adjusted. Dr. Friedman and his staff were amazing. After my adjustment I was able to feel the difference and improvement in my health. My brain fog has decreased, the painful popping my jaw has decreased. I am looking forward to continued care and the improved health.

Fantastic experience: Love love love Dr F and his team. They truly love what they do and it shows. My son is a patient and after 3 visits my husband joined too.

Fantastic experience: Dr.'s Russell, Ali and Shaun have changed my life! Through gentle yet EXTREMELY EFFECTIVE treatment I am on my way to healthy balance and stability. I have residual trauma from a car wreck and other injuries, and have been living with chronic pain for years. I was not able to do simple things like yard work without being in tremendous pain for days after. I am in my mid thirties and a mom to a 2 yr old and this was just not going to cut it anymore. I have spent most of my adult life going to traditional crack your back type chiropractors with no real long term effects or understanding of what my current condition was doing to my overall health. But through regular gentle adjustments and soft tissue treatment I am able to do things I haven't been able to do for years with no consequences of pain. I have my healthy posture back, which was lost after carrying and then caring for my child. I can't tell you how thrilled and comforting it is to have such a wonderful, caring, and educational team in my corner like Dr.'s Russell, Ali and Shaun.

Fantastic experience: Have always had a positive experience at Alterna while under care. Most recently, Dr. Shaun & Dr. Ali have helped me tremendously with their functional rehab. My body feels wonderful under the care and has improved my yoga practice among other things. What I enjoy most about visiting Alterna is how knowledgeable they are. They know their stuff and continue to teach me so much every visit. Recommend this place to anyone looking for a positive, empowering journey back to true health.

Fantastic experience: What a life-changing experience being under Dr. Ali & Dr. Shaun's care! Before seeing them, I had tension that prevented me from doing certain activities for months. Within one visit, I felt the tension go away and felt lighter and more stable. Through my exam, Dr. Ali was able to find more issues within my body that if she had not corrected, could have caused issues when I am older. Super thankful for that because I didnt even know!! Both have a great way of helping me better understand my body & how their care will play a role. If you are looking for answers like I was, schedule with one of these incredible doctors. Grateful for Alterna!

Fantastic experience: My first experience with a Chiropractor and they are amazing. A great group of Doctors and team, definitely the best Chiropractor/wellness office in Atlanta!!

Fantastic experience: Feeling fabulous because of Doc and his folks. Thank you!

Fantastic experience: Great alternative look at chiropractic & body care

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman is "The Chiropractor's Chiropractor." That I have personally seen other health professionals in his office for treatment speaks volumes about his knowledge, experience, technique, and success rate. As a patient, I know him to be passionate about what he does, ever interested in learning new approaches, appreciative of the role that emotional, mental, and spiritual factors can play in physical healing, and steadfast in his commitment to the partnership he has with his patients in their care. I would not hesitate to refer to him someone who is in pain, feeling discouraged, and weary of the mystery behind his/her symptoms. If Dr. Friedman can help, he will; if he cannot, he will be straightforward and compassionate. I would like to update my review to include my hearty support for Candace Swanson, another member of the excellent AlternaHealth team. Candace specializes in nutrition response testing, and Dr. Friedman initially referred me to her for a persistent sinus issue. Candace not only resolved that problem, but with patience, skill, knowledge, the proper supplements, and admirable respect for the body's own natural intelligence, also managed to bring my beleaguered adrenals under control. Months later, they are still functioning properly. During a recent visit, Candace stunned me with an assessment that my body was having a negative reaction to chlorine, and I had never even mentioned to her that I had recently taken several aqua aerobics classes! Not only is Candace impressive because of her expertise, but she is also warm, spirited, funny, encouraging, and kind. With efficiency, professionalism, and extraordinary wit and energy, Martina welcomes and assists all who call or enter, setting the tone for an experience of exceptional care. Even if I were not a patient, it would be worth it to visit the office for the B12 infusion that is Martina. Many, many thanks to Dr. Friedman for his skill and graciousness and to the entire AlternaHealth team for making this practice a place of hope, relief, and belief.

Fantastic experience: This is the best Doctor and technique in the world for back and neck problems. I spent years in severe pain looking for someone that could help me. This is the place. Go there immediately and get your life back.

Fantastic experience: Dr. Friedman is fantastic...he is a miracle worker! Love this man!!!

Fantastic experience: I heard about Dr. Friedman through a friend who was a patient. I didn't understand how the technique he uses worked and still don't! My daughter had been in an accident and had a neck injury that just wasn't getting any better. Daily pain medications just didn't afford the relief or allow the quality of life she needed. Her situation was pretty bad, but (in a short amount of time) there was an amazing difference. Then, it was my turn. I had been happy with a chiropractor I had known for years and didn't want to go through the "new patient" process. But, circumstances worked so that I needed to make a change and thought I would try this "new" technique because of the success with my daughter. After my first visit, I thought that this was just too easy and gentle. Why did I wait so long? After a few days, I was still feeling great. After a few weeks, I was still feeling great! It's been about a year since my first visit. I'm still amazed at how different I feel after a correction, how long it lasts, and how the simple recommended exercises make a big difference in how I feel every day! How can something so gentle make such a difference? I don't know, but it does. This cynical skeptic is convinced!

Fantastic experience: I am so grateful to have Dr. Friedman as our chiropractor. We drive an hour-and-a-half to see him, but I wouldn't trust anyone else. My kindergartner was complaining of headaches almost every day after school. We went to our pediatrician and an optometrist, but neither had a solution. I took her to Dr. Friedman and she's only complained once since our visit a month ago. After having my third baby, I was having vision issues and needed to wear my glasses every day. Prior to that, I had only worn them if I was going to a movie. I got adjusted by Dr. Friedman and didn't need my glasses after that. It may seem like a far reach, but I can't dispute the results we have after a visit to Dr. Friedman. I am also glad he doesn't insist we visit multiple times every week for months on end like some other chiropractors. A visit every month is all we need most of the time. He's exceptional and is able to help his patients' bodies get back into alignment so they can function the way they are intended to.
