Yes, though not in Cedartown itself: we serve Cedartown and the rest of Polk County from our DT Chiropractic office in Rome, about 30 minutes north on US-27. To be clear and honest, we do not have an office in Cedartown. Rome is our nearest location, and the run up US-27 is a straight, simple drive for most Cedartown athletes and active families. Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available, we accept most insurance, and we have bilingual staff.
Cedartown sits right at a trailhead of the Silver Comet Trail, so we see a lot of cyclists and runners from this area, along with high-school athletes from local programs and weekend warriors who do not bounce back the way they used to. The trail is a gift for training mileage, but its flat, repetitive miles also tend to produce the overuse injuries we treat most. Cedartown is a smaller Polk County city without a large sports-medicine network of its own, so for many active residents the nearest unhurried, hands-on care is a short drive up the highway to Rome.
We treat the common athletic and overuse injuries conservatively: sprains, muscle strains, tendinitis and other overuse problems, plus shoulder, knee, and low-back complaints. For Silver Comet cyclists, that often means low-back stiffness, neck tension from the riding position, or knee pain tied to saddle height and cadence. For runners logging trail miles, we see Achilles and patellar tendinitis, IT-band irritation, shin pain, and hip and low-back issues. High-school athletes from Cedartown bring us ankle sprains, shoulder strains from throwing, and the nagging knee pain that shows up mid-season.
Care starts with an honest assessment, not a treatment plan you did not ask for. Dr. Daniel Turner is SFMA Level 2 certified, which means we look at how you move, not just where it hurts, to find what is actually driving the problem. From there, treatment may include soft-tissue work and Active Release Technique (ART), chiropractic adjustments where appropriate, and specific rehab exercises you can keep doing on your own. You can read more about our full approach on the sports injuries page.
Shoulders and knees are two of the most common trouble spots for throwers, cyclists, and runners, and they respond well to conservative care when there is no structural damage that needs imaging or surgery. We explain what we find in plain language and tell you honestly if something is outside what conservative care can fix. See our shoulder and knee page for how we work these up.
It depends on the injury, the sport, and how you are healing, and we will not promise a date or guarantee a result. What we will do is give you clear, honest return-to-play guidance, restore your movement and strength in stages, and make sure you can handle your sport's actual demands before you go back. Rushing back is the fastest way to turn a two-week problem into a two-month one. For Silver Comet cyclists and runners, that usually means a graded return to mileage; for high-school athletes, it means meeting objective movement and strength markers, not just feeling okay. If you are an in-season athlete trying to make it to the next game, we will be straight with you about what is realistic and what risks pushing it.
Many Cedartown athletes find the short drive to Rome well worth it for unhurried, hands-on care, and because same-day and next-day appointments are usually open, a flare-up before a weekend ride or a Friday-night game does not have to wait.

For most sprains, strains, tendinitis, and overuse injuries, conservative chiropractic and soft-tissue care is a reasonable first step. But if you suspect a fracture or dislocation, cannot bear weight, have severe swelling, or any sign of a concussion or head injury, go to an ER or urgent care first. We will also refer you out if we find something that needs imaging or another specialist.
It depends on the injury and how you heal, and we do not promise dates or guarantee outcomes. We give honest return-to-play guidance and rebuild your movement, strength, and tolerance in stages, with a graded return to mileage for cyclists and runners, so you go back when you can meet your sport's real demands.
Yes. The trail's flat, repetitive miles commonly cause Achilles and patellar tendinitis, IT-band irritation, low-back and neck stiffness, and bike-fit-related knee pain. We assess how you move, use soft-tissue work and Active Release Technique, adjust where appropriate, and give you rehab to address the cause, not just the symptom.
Yes, we treat athletes of all ages, including high-school ankle sprains, throwing-shoulder strains, and in-season knee pain. We focus on conservative care and a staged, objective return to play rather than rushing anyone back before they are ready.
We accept most insurance and have bilingual staff. Same-day and next-day appointments are usually available at our Rome office, which serves Cedartown and the rest of Polk County.
