Meet Dr. Burks
Doctor of Chiropractic
My name is Dr. Cory Burks. I was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. After high school, I attended Louisiana State University earning my undergraduate degree in Kinesiology with an emphasis on human movement. My initial passion was working as a corrective exercise specialist for 7 years, where I was able to train a wide range of clients from athletes to people suffering with chronic pain. Depending on the postural presentation and movement dysfunctions of the client, I was able to prescribe specific targeted stretches and exercises to help achieve better balance to the body.
During this time, I was introduced to a local upper cervical chiropractor who completely shifted my perspective on how to treat the body and how to help people achieve better health and vitality. With a single adjustment to the top vertebra in the neck, patients would respond faster and more effectively than I had ever seen before.
After witnessing how upper cervical chiropractic positively impacted patients’ lives, I had to look deeper into the profession as a whole. I learned that the chiropractic philosophy and belief is simple… If you want to maximize the body’s ability to heal on its own, treat the spine to remove stress off the nervous system. I then realized that chiropractic had the ability to treat a wide range of symptoms without the use of drugs or surgery, and I knew that this was the path that I needed to pursue.
Soon after, I attended chiropractic school at Life University in Atlanta, GA and graduated in 2016. Since graduating, I have been blessed with the ability and opportunity to help over a thousand patients achieve increased levels of health and well-being in the most natural way possible. My post graduate work includes a board certification in the Atlas Orthogonal upper cervical technique as well as training and advanced certifications in Activator technique and Webster technique. I live in Southern Pines with my wife and two daughters, and love doing anything related to movement, outdoors, and spending time with my family.
