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.Â
   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.Â
   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.Â
   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.

EXCELLENT Based on 101 reviews Posted on Google Gage B.Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Following a car accident in 2015, I dealt with a long list of symptoms for over 10 years: chronic neck pain, chronic migraines, blurry and double vision, brain fog, poor sleep, chronic bloating, acid reflux/GERD, a lump-in-throat feeling, chronic anxiety, fullness and ringing in my left ear, shortness of breath, on-and-off wheezing just to name a few. I saw specialist after specialist for years with no real answers or relief, and honestly, I was at my wit's end. Then I happened to come across a video on social media that described almost all of the symptoms I was dealing with, and it mentioned upper cervical chiropractic (UCC) work being able to help. That sent me down a research rabbit hole, which is how I found Dr. Burks. After reading through all the positive reviews from his other patients, I decided to take a leap of faith and give it a shot, hoping it would finally help. I felt relief almost immediately after my atlas adjustment. My neck pain nearly disappeared, and I could finally breathe out of my left nostril for the first time in years. Within a few days, my brain fog cleared and my sleep improved. I haven't had a single migraine since starting treatment. Now, about a month in, the lump in my throat feeling is noticeably reduced, my acid reflux and bloating are just about gone, I'm breathing easier, and my energy levels are so much better overall. Dr. Burks is a lifesaver. If you've been dealing with unexplained symptoms like these, I can't recommend this office enough.Posted on Google Emily SucharaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before I started coming to connect chiropractic I was waking up in pain everyday. I had a previous back injury a few years back and ever since my sciatic pain was so intense it would prevent me from doing the things I loved to do. I started coming here after hearing about the non invasive and more holistic approach to helping my pain. Every step of the way has been clear and laid out. We identified the issues and had a plan in place. Early on I could tell a massive difference. I’ve also been given stretches to do at home that has further helped. I was cautiously optimistic at first coming but I can say for certain now how my life has changed for the better since coming for adjustments. I no longer live in pain everyday and I can enjoy my job and hobbies once again!Posted on Google Barbara RileyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My family has been seeing Dr.Burks for 9 years. He is an amazing chiropractor taking care of all my families needs with specialized care plans. He serves all his patients with attentive and thoughtful care. You can trust him to care for your family too.Posted on Google Anne STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Burks impresses me as a top notch chiropractor and a genuinely kind person. In five months he's helped me to overcome issues that four years of physical therapy and personal training couldn't touch. I will be Dr. Burks' patient for as long as he's willing to put up with me.Posted on Google Angela StephenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. My neck pain has been at its highest this past year. I was skeptical of a chiropractor and had been to numerous orthopedic doctors as well as physical therapy. Dr. Burne made it painless and walked me through the whole process. I have been pain-free since I began with him three months ago! Thank you so much for your help.Posted on Google Justin BryantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Started my chiropractic journey later in life as I grew tired of medical doctors prescribing pain meds. I’ve now been a patient of Dr. Burks for more than five years, as I followed him from his previous practice because I didn’t want to go anywhere else. I’m always impressed with his subtle adjustment techniques, they deliver major, long-lasting results without ever feeling aggressive or uncomfortable. From pulled muscles and knee pain to most recently a fractured heel, Dr. Burks had me running again just 12 weeks post injury. He’s not just a great chiropractor, he’s become someone I trust like a friend. If you’re dealing with pain and want gentle, effective care, I highly recommend Dr. BurksPosted on Google Luz Adriana Sierra CardenasTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Burk, truly listen, cares and his skills are remarkable Since I started to regularly work on my physical problems and injuries, the improvement is noticeable even for people around me, and I've gotten comments on how well I'm walking, and how my posture is looking better, etc. Thank you, Dr. Burk from the bottom of my heart. Your work has made a great difference in the way I feel, I walk and I sleep. 😉Posted on Google THE JOKERTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Exceptional knowledge, skill and experience. Dr. Burks is very professional and is able to build rapport with his patients and treats them with respect. He addresses each person's physical problems with care and precision, and he gives a positive outcome with each visit. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a nonpharmaceutical solution to the 'things' life does to our bodies in order to get back into a happier and healthier life sooner. I concur with the other reviews and did not see anything untrue or misleading. Thanks Dr. BPosted on Google Lora WilsonTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google.
