Dr. Herbert Buckner Doctor of Chiropractic
Simply put, I was a skeptic… After suffering with an injury resulting from weightlifting, I was faced with a decision. I literally could not stand up straight or walk. So, the question was, try chiropractic or have back surgery?
A guy I played basketball with had suggested chiropractic. I had never been to one but at that point I would try anything! And to my amazement I “walked” out of the chiropractor’s office after just one adjustment, my pain and discomfort was not gone, but a lot better! Needless to say, I am no longer a skeptic.
After a ten-year career as an engineer with a missile defense company our contract had ended and the company was closing, so I was faced with a decision…what to do with the rest of my career. I was only 33 years old at that time and my thoughts kept turning to chiropractic. With my love of sports and my love of people it seemed like the perfect fit. What better way to give back than to help people.
Educational Experience
I attended Chiropractic college at Life Chiropractic University in Marietta, Georgia. I chose this college because it was ranked number one in the country, and I wanted to receive the best education possible.
It surprised me how in depth and thorough chiropractic college is. The two classes that stand out in my mind were Biochemistry and Physiology–no explanation needed! One experience that really impressed me during college was when I turned my ankle playing basketball and my sports medicine instructor Dr. John Downs adjusted my ankle in front of the class (talk about making a grown man cry), but once again another eye-opening experience with chiropractic care by the end of the day I was walking with a shoe on with slight swelling.
Outside the Office
My wife Lorraine and I have a blended family. We have seven children: one daughter and six sons, and six wonderful grandchildren. Two of our sons served in the Air Force and are veterans of war, like me. All of our children make us very proud to be parents. I met my wife through my oldest son, my son and wife’s daughter went to school together. We were both single parents, so they decided to do some matchmaking. Boy, what a match. We are still burning strong!
In my personal time I enjoy playing golf and working out. My wife and I also own restaurants (Another Broken Egg Café) that keeps us pretty busy. I enjoy nice relaxing drives with my beautiful wife, with the radio off–good conversation combined with beautiful countryside makes for a perfect day!

My background as a former rugby player at Eckerd College in Florida instilled in me the values of teamwork and perseverance.
