Who He Is

Two Decades Inside Pro Sport

For more than twenty years, Dr. Joe Krzemien has worked where the margin for error is smallest. He is the current team chiropractor for the Atlanta Dream of the WNBA. For thirteen NFL seasons he served the Atlanta Falcons. His care has reached athletes across the NFL, NBA, WNBA, and Major League Baseball, alongside Olympians.

What a professional roster demands is not a quick fix. It is a system. The athlete has to be ready, week after week, season after season. That discipline became the foundation of his practice, and the reason the pros keep coming back.

Recognition

Hall Of Fame.
Class Of 2025

In 2025, the Professional Football Chiropractic Society inducted Dr. Joe Krzemien into its Hall of Fame. The honor recognizes a career spent at the intersection of elite sport and clinical rigor, the kind of work that never shows up in a box score, yet decides whether an athlete is on the field at all.

The Work

The Same Hands, Every Table

Dr. Joe Krzemien treating an athlete in the clinic

From The Locker Room To The Clinic

The adjustment a quarterback relies on between snaps is the adjustment every patient gets. Same protocol, same precision, whether the body on the table earns a paycheck for it or not.

Pickleball Medicine

The Southeast's First
Comprehensive Pickleball Program

Joe has treated pickleball players for years, long enough to see the pattern. The injuries are not episodes. A pickleball elbow today is a rotator cuff in six months without an underlying program. So he built one.

01

Assessment

A 60-minute movement screen built for pickleball players. What is drifting, and what will break next.

02

Treatment

Pro-team caliber care, scaled. ART, Graston, manipulation, ARP Wave, Erchonia laser, and decompression.

03

Prevention

The drift that has not become an injury yet. Targeted hip, calf, rotator cuff, and change-of-direction work.

04

Return To Play

Most return-to-play calls are guessed. Joe's are tested. No discharge until you can play your normal volume.

Four pillars. Every age, every level, recreational, tournament, junior, and pro level.

The Long Game

Built To Keep You On The Court

The program runs on one idea. Recovery is not what you do after an injury, it is what keeps you playing for decades. Joe turned that into a system, the daily, weekly, and annual work behind every pillar.

It has its own home and its own book, the full case for why racquet sport may be one of the most powerful longevity tools you own.

What Dr. Joe Built
The Long Game
The System

A recovery system built on three time horizons. Daily, weekly, and annual. The protocol behind every pillar of the program.

The Book

The Long Game

Joe wrote it down. The Long Game is the full protocol: the daily, weekly, and annual work that keeps a recreational athlete on the court for decades, not seasons. Built on the same recovery system he brings to professional athletes, and on the science behind why racquet sport may be one of the most powerful longevity tools you own.

Forthcoming 2026. For pre-publication or publishing inquiries, reach out through the clinic.
