14 years and 3 children later he and his wife moved back to Georgia and he bought an established practice in Watkinsville, GA. Dr. Rion specializes in family care and trauma care.

Our Mission Statement: Our mission is to help families and individuals of all ages express greater degrees of life, human potential, function, health, and well-being through enhanced neural self-organization & function and spinal integrity, regardless of the presence or absence of symptoms or conditions. In addition to leading-edge evidence-based chiropractic methods that are very honoring, gentle, and effective, we utilize state-of-the-art, non-invasive technology for assessment of neurological function that has been awarded certification by the Space Foundation, co-founded by NASA. We acknowledge the detrimental effects of stress on the nervous system and the state of one's body, mind, and soul. Gonstead Chiropractic adjustments help the body to correct its subluxation patterns along with helping the individual release trapped tension (emotional, chemical, and physical) and gain a greater awareness of the body, while concurrently encouraging the nervous system to create new, and more effective strategies for adapting to stress, life, and one's world. It is our goal to reach and educate as many people as possible on the profound positive effects chiropractic care has on one's quality of life, health, and wellness; both through our efforts, and the much appreciated efforts of our empowered practice members who are benefiting greatly from living the Chiropractic Wellness Lifestyle and sharing the experience with others.
