Welcome and thank you for your interest in Balance Atlanta. In nearly 20-years of being in practice, I have always had one simple objective

– to educate, to inspire and to care for people of all ages so they may become the best version of themselves. Balance Atlanta is community of diverse families who make the pursuit of well-being a priority. While some people come to Balance Atlanta for short-term care, others become extended members of my own family. Everyone is welcome. Relationship is the overriding currency – establishing a collaborative partnership built on a foundation of trust, respect and commitment. Having someone in your corner who will listen, find and correct the cause of the issue, and guide you towards balance is what health care should be about. Practice members recognize that with a foundation of mental and physical balance, children and adults are better equipped to express their full potential. They look beyond the limiting belief system of symptoms, sickness and disease. Instead, they strive to integrate all components of a healthy lifestyle at every stage of development. The scope of care offered at Balance Atlanta is exclusive – you will not find the combination of Chiropractic, BrainCore Therapy, Functional Medicine, Difficult Cases, Premium Services, or Social Impact – anywhere else in the world. Someone recently said, “I didn’t know chiropractors do all of that…” They don’t. This is my personal creation. For nearly 20-years, I continue to listen to the needs my patients. I evaluate the pros and shortcomings of our current health care system. I learn from experts in the holistic and allopathic fields. By merging cutting edge technology and clinical experience with a genuine passion to be of service to others, I address structural health, brain function, and chemical balance. Pieces of the puzzle must fit together to support the whole person. A new patient may initially seek care for a specific condition. Perhaps due to injury, they cannot exercise efficiently. Or, being overwhelmed by stress, happiness, sleep quality, family life, and productivity have been compromised. Frequently, Balance Atlanta has become the last resort for those who are frustrated when conventional treatments fail to resolve chronic illnesses. Seeing how their health has improved, many practice members continue as wellness patients. A natural outcome of their experience is maintaining an active lifestyle with preventive care. Having suffered from chronic migraines prior to ever receiving chiropractic adjustments, and having lost both of my parents to cancer, I firmly believe we should never take health for granted. Mothers have given me the honor to adjust their newborns, just minutes old. Where peak performance is on the line, professional athletes and celebrities in the film industry get adjusted at 360 Pharr Road. Teens navigating the pressures of academics, sports and social expectations are fans of chiropractic. Watching them grow up, I’ve become their “Aunt Dr. Caroline” – someone they can count on, a personal confidante of sorts. The difference between success and falling through cracks may just be nurturing a nerve system that can handle stress effectively. Parents and business people have expressed how safe and welcome they feel here. With fresh flowers, healthy snacks, educational literature, upbeat music, original art, and small personal touches, Balance Atlanta becomes a family-friendly oasis in the middle of Buckhead. My staff and I truly care about you. Whether you decide Balance Atlanta is the place for you or not, I appreciate the time you took to explore my website. I am always happy to answer your questions and listen to your suggestions. Having put a lot of love into creating the practice of my dreams, I look forward to sharing my commitment to balance with you and your family. In health and happiness,

Dr. Caroline von Fluegge-Chen

This made my day. And I have to say, if you can still leave smiling after I’ve been working on a very tender jaw, that’s a pretty good day.

So grateful for my amazing patients and the trust they place in me. Thank you, Amanda, for such incredibly kind words. ❤️

Lunch today at Kale Me Crazy. I’m not the best at slowing down. Learning curve. Gotta eat and chew.

Simple, fresh, nutrient-dense food that gives me the energy I need to power through the rest of the day without feeling weighed down. Sometimes the best lunch doesn’t need to be complicated—just real food that fuels you well.

My patients rarely call me by my last name.

Most call me Dr. C or Dr. Caroline.

Part of that is practical—my last name is long, and saying it a hundred times a day would get a little cumbersome.

But there’s a bigger reason.

I’ve always believed that healthcare works best when there’s a real relationship between doctor and patient.

In chiropractic, we honor that relationship. We’re two people working together on a journey toward better health. You’re not an insurance case. You’re not a diagnosis. You’re not the “low back pain.”

You’re a person.

Calling me Dr. Caroline lowers one small barrier between us. It creates a little more familiarity, a little more camaraderie, and a stronger sense that we’re working together.

That’s very intentional.

Because at Balance Atlanta, I want you to feel like you’re part of a community—one where you’re known, heard, and cared for as an individual.

So yes, I’m your doctor.

But Dr. Caroline is just fine with me.

Thank you to JETSET Pilates Buckhead for having me visit the studio!

JETSET is definitely not your typical Pilates experience. Their modern approach combines Pilates-inspired movement with strength, endurance, balance, and controlled resistance for a workout that keeps you moving from beginning to end.

I loved seeing how they’ve taken the principles of Pilates and created something that feels athletic, challenging, and incredibly efficient—all in a beautiful, high-energy studio environment.

Thank you to the JETSET Buckhead team for welcoming me and letting me experience what makes JETSET different.

💥 What is your doctor’s influence?

❌ Almost every client that joins our program tells us how their previous doctors told them to stop doing everything.

Stop exercising.

Stop their hobbies.

Even stop working.

Even though the doctor saying this is often out of shape and not an image of health themselves.

This is all too common, and is the most frequent experience in the low back pain world.

🔑 The key here is that your doctor should be a role model for what you want to achieve.

They should inspire you to get back to being active, back to exercising, that you can get in the gym again!

Not scare you into limiting your life.

That is opposite of what a real doctor should do!

This is healthcare! Let’s get it right.

Is chiropractic a scam…3x per week for the rest of your life? 😳

Authenticity. Enough said.

What if we invested in kids’ mental health on the front end? Developing strong coping skills, grit, inner strength equals fewer cases of anxiety and depression later.

So I’m letting go of hiding behind the camera. Slaying the imposter syndrome. Forgetting to worry about opinions. Embracing imperfection. Why? Because it’s more important to share from my heart and make a difference. You’ll be hearing a lot from me. I’m double-dog daring myself to put myself out there. 😎👍🏻 It starts now.

Uneven Shoulders: What Your Body May Be Trying to Tell You

Ever look in the mirror and notice one shoulder sitting higher than the other?

A lot of people assume it’s “just bad posture,” but uneven shoulders are often a sign that the body has adapted to an underlying imbalance.

Your body is incredibly smart. If one area isn’t moving well, another area compensates.

That can create a pattern like this:

Muscles that often become tight or overactive:
• Upper trapezius (that “tight shoulder” feeling)
• Levator scapulae (common source of neck stiffness)
• Sternocleidomastoid/SCM (can contribute to head tilt, tension headaches, jaw tension)
• Pectoral muscles (pull the shoulders forward)
• Rhomboids (sometimes tight from compensation rather than true strength)

Muscles that may become weak or inhibited:
• Lower trapezius
• Serratus anterior (important for shoulder blade control)
• Deep core stabilizers
• Mid-back postural muscles

But here’s the important part:

The shoulder itself is not always the real problem.

Uneven shoulders can be influenced by:
• Forward head posture
• Repetitive work positions (computer, phone, driving, carrying a bag)
• Old injuries
• Spinal misalignment or restricted joint motion
• Scoliosis or structural asymmetry
• Pelvic imbalance (yes, your hips can affect your shoulders)
• Foot mechanics and how you walk

Common symptoms that can show up:
✔ Neck tightness
✔ One-sided shoulder pain
✔ Tension headaches
✔ Upper back discomfort
✔ Reduced shoulder mobility
✔ Tingling or nerve irritation in some cases

A quick caution: graphics like this are helpful for understanding patterns, but the body is more nuanced than “tight on one side, weak on the other.”

Sometimes a muscle feels tight because it’s weak and overworking.

Sometimes the shoulder is compensating for something happening lower in the spine.

Sometimes asymmetry is simply your normal anatomy.

That’s why evaluation matters.

The goal isn’t just stretching the “tight” side.

It’s identifying why your body created the pattern in the first place.

Because when you address the cause—not just the symptom—posture, comfort, movement, and even breathing often improve.

Your posture is a story. The question is: what is your body trying to say?
