Meet Our Team

Chiropractor Marita Thompson D.C.

My name is Dr. Marita Thompson and I was born and raised in Augusta GA. I grew up playing lots of sports! I’ve played basketball, softball, track and field, cross country, soccer, flag football, as well as karate and a hula dancer for 15 years! I went to Life University for my undergraduate in exercise science and then I was planning on going to PT school. Instead, I completed my doctorate in Chiropractic In 2022. When I heard about what Chiropractics core values were and what they did, I fell in love! I knew I always wanted to join the medical field, but the traditional medical field didn’t truly speak to me. I didn’t want to just give people medications to mask their symptoms or just provide exercises and therapies on people and then send them out the door. I want to get to the root cause of their pain and symptoms. I want to build a long-lasting healing relationship with my patients in a holistic preventative type of care. I want to teach people how to take control of their health and live a more abundant lifestyle at their highest potential.

Chiropractic showed me that there was a way for me to facilitate healing for people HOLISTICALLY. The human body and nervous system is a very powerful thing! Our bodies know how to communicate to us what it need and is able to self-heal from within. That is why I’m not the healer, I’m the facilitator. I realign the body and clear the nervous system out from interference and then the body does all the healing, balancing, and reorganizing itself. The power that made the body, heals the body. Above Down Inside Out. The primary techniques I use are diversified Thompson drop and activator. I will also be starting to integrate more tonal, noninvasive techniques (not your typical crack and pop). I will be learning BGI technique in 2024/2025.

My passion is to work with the prenatal and pediatric community. P.S. in my last year of Chiropractic school, I also became a certified doula!

Outside of the office, I love spending time with my beautiful fiancé and trying new adventures! I like to play pickleball, play softball, go to festivals, try new foods, make bouquets, read and spend time with my nieces and nephew. I can’t wait to work with you all at Perkins Chiropractic! Now let’s make some healthy spines so we can have some happy lives!
