Dr. Mary Jane Doyle, D.C., R.N.

My story

I was actually in nursing school to become an RN when I became interested in chiropractic. I had a miracle adjustment for severe sciatic leg pain that went away after one S.O.T. adjustment. Of course, I immediately became interested in learning this wonderful chiropractic soft-tissue adjusting technique, and the whole art and science of chiropractic.

I finished my RN BSN degree and practiced nursing at Northwestern. I saw how antiquated the medical system was in handling conditions that could be helped naturally, without drugs and surgery, via chiropractic. I enrolled at Life Chiropractic College in Marietta, Georgia, and as they say, the rest is history. I’ve been practicing chiropractic since 1982 and I’m lovin’ it. Chiropractors are like wine: they get better with age!

Well educated

I enjoy my profession

The best part about treating patients is having a role in helping them become happier and healthier people, and watching them grow into a healthy lifestyle as they keep up their chiropractic care over the months and years.

I offer special services

I provide gentle chiropractic adjustments through a soft-tissue technique called the Sacro-Occipital Technique, or S.O.T. Many times this includes reflexology to the spinal muscles and relaxing cranial adjusting maneuvers that complement the adjustment. I provide manual therapy or massage techniques when needed, such as trigger point therapy, and gentle traction to the spine depending on the degree of muscle spasm. I also treat extremity problems, such as wrists and knees. I like to remind my patients: “Arms and legs need chiropractic care, too!”

I provide nutritional counseling for people who need nutritional support, at a basic maintenance level or to replenish what they are low on. I also offer auriculotherapy, hot pack therapy and individual instruction in exercises. My office has a lending library, and I encourage my patients to learn as much as they can about their health so they can partner with me in their chiropractic journey. See all our services.

I have many interests

I am intrigued by special needs patients, and one of my goals is to develop a chiropractic practice for people with special abilities. I am very interested in the brain and its potential in helping to improve developmental disabilities.

I like to read, and I am an antiquarian book collector of books on health, and cookbooks. I love to ride my bike and enjoy water sports. I enjoy flower gardening and love the outdoors. I also like animals and have a variety of them: a dog, a frog, birds, a guinea pig and a hamster. And I’m honored to be a mom.

I care!
