    "My back and neck had never felt so relaxed and not tensed."

    I visited Dr. Tickel for help with my posture and migraines. My doctors have long considered my poor posture as a potential cause for my frequent migraines. I had never been to a chiropractor before, but in one visit, I was very impressed. My back and neck had never felt so relaxed and not tensed. I noticed an immediate improvement in the frequency of my migraines. Certainly, one visit to a chiropractor is not the end-all and be-all of migraine cures, but it seems to be a very good treatment option for me after all the over-the-counter and prescription medications I've been on. I look forward to continuing to improve my posture with Tickel Chiropractic. Dr. Tickel was very professional and explained every adjustment. For anyone considering chiropractic adjustments, I would recommend Dr. Tickel.

    "Dr. Tickel is calming, compassionate and full of knowledge and skill."

    Words will not be able to fully express how wonderful Dr. Tickel and his practice are. Dr. Tickel is calming, compassionate and full of knowledge and skill. He can explain each movement and adjustment with detail. He treats you as a person and friend and focuses on your problem areas, including how your lifestyle influences your body and the treatments.

    I am a big proponent of proper and specialized chiropractic care, which you get from Dr. Tickel. You get immediate and long-term relief. Every treatment and adjustment is specific to your issues and areas of concern at that time and goals for the future.

    I highly recommend him to anyone who asks and have only ever gotten great feedback from those who follow that recommendation.

  • "Don't expect the status quo expect an incredible analysis of your issues and a very strategic treatment plan."

    I've seen numerous chiropractors over my 63 years and this guy is, without question, the most incredible one I have ever come across. Don't expect the status quo, expect an incredible analysis of your issues and a very strategic treatment plan. Kudos Dr. Tickel; sincere and heartfelt thanks for your help!

  • "The saving grace through out my pregnancy!"

    Dr. Tickel was the saving grace through out my pregnancy!! I started having sciatic-like pain when I was 12 weeks pregnant with low-back and shooting pain down my leg. I was seen immediately, assessed, and felt better after my very first adjustment! The shooting pain down my leg has totally resolved, but I have continued to see Dr. Tickel through out my pregnancy for my pregnancy-associated low back/tailbone pain and am so thankful that after my visits I find relief! He has also helped me with round-ligament pain during these last few weeks of pregnancy.

    Dr. Tickel is accommodating, kind, knowledgeable, and an amazing doctor that has treated me and given me relief from my pain! I would give 10 stars if I could- he truly goes above and beyond! I work as a health care professional myself (NP), and I appreciate his intelligence and professionalism!

    Dr. Tickel "Improved my quality of life."

    I have been seeing Dr Tickel for several years now and he has improved my quality of life. I have a history of physical trauma and suffer from back pain on a daily basis. With his help, I feel like I can function and engage in normal day to day activities without pain. Whenever I am in "crisis mode", Dr Tickel has taken such great care of me physically and in several ways emotionally too. He's fantastic, see him immediately!

About the Doctor

James W. Tickel, D.C.

Founder of NeuroCalm | Atlanta, GA

Dr. James W. Tickel, D.C. is a Doctor of Chiropractic who graduated from Life University in Atlanta, GA in 2006. He is one of seven chiropractors in his family. After nearly a decade of practice in Chicago and another in Charlottesville, VA, Dr. Tickel has returned to Atlanta to found NeuroCalm Method—a multidisciplinary clinic dedicated to calming the nervous system and helping the body restore balance from the inside out.

Raised by two chiropractor parents, Dr. Tickel learned early on the importance of living in harmony with vitalistic principles. His parents taught that life—and health—is a triune of mind, body, and spirit. As chiropractors, they emphasized not only adjusting the bones to help people live healthier lives, but also “adjusting the bone-head.” Dr. Tickel believes that physical pain often serves as a doorway to deeper mental and emotional healing.

At Neuro Calm Method, Dr. Tickel utilizes a gentle, low-force upper cervical chiropractic technique designed to regulate and calm the nervous system—helping the body naturally return to a state of peace, balance, and healing. He aims to adjust not only the body, but also the mind and spirit—empowering each person to recognize that the true healer resides within. To him, healing is an inside job. One of his favorite mantras is, “I am a healer because I am healing.”

Coming from a dynamic family of healers, Dr. Tickel was raised to live a well-balanced life: eat nutrient-rich foods, move the body regularly, show love to yourself and others, and express gratitude daily. He believes health is a journey, not a destination—and that small, consistent actions each day lead us toward true and transformative healing. With every visit, Dr. Tickel seeks to inspire and guide his patients on that journey.

Outside the office, Dr. Tickel is the proud father of three children—so the word “free time” is used loosely. He loves spending time with his family, going on foodie adventure dates with his wife, backcountry camping, making homemade wine in his garage, and cooking just about anything over an open fire.

Available for office or home visits Atlanta, GA.
