At Active Life Chiropractic, our focus is simple: support healthy nervous systems so individuals and families can thrive. While conventional medicine often centers on diagnosing and managing illness, our approach emphasizes proactive care — helping the body adapt more efficiently to stress and supporting overall function before problems escalate.
We believe most people would rather stay healthy than wait until something hurts. That’s why our care is centered on nervous system regulation, spinal mobility, and individualized wellness plans designed to support long-term vitality.
For some families, walking into our office feels like returning to a familiar foundation of health — one that may have been set aside in the busyness of life. For others, it’s the beginning of a new journey toward understanding how the nervous system influences sleep, energy, resilience, pregnancy, childhood development, and everyday well-being.
We are especially passionate about caring for pregnant women, babies, and growing families. With advanced training in prenatal and pediatric chiropractic care, our team is committed to providing thoughtful, personalized care in a calm and welcoming environment.
At Active Life Chiropractic, you are never just a number. We take the time to listen, evaluate thoroughly, and create care recommendations tailored specifically to your goals — using precise, effective, and minimally invasive techniques.
Pamela Stone, DC, DACCP a graduate of Life University’s College of Chiropractic, earning her Doctor of Chiropractic degree with clinical honors in 2000. She later completed her Diplomate in Pediatric and Perinatal Chiropractic Care (DACCP) through the International Chiropractic Pediatrics Association (ICPA), one of the highest levels of specialty training in the profession.
Dr. Stone serves as a Webster Technique instructor for the ICPA, teaching “Perinatal Care with Webster Technique Certification” to chiropractors across the country and internationally. Over the course of her career, she has cared for thousands of pregnant women and is deeply committed to supporting healthy nervous system function throughout pregnancy and birth.
She has completed more than 100 additional hours of specialized training in cranial chiropractic care under Dr. Marty Rosen, with a focus on newborns and toddlers. Her work often supports families navigating challenges such as tension-related breastfeeding difficulties, torticollis, plagiocephaly, and early developmental concerns — always with a gentle, individualized approach. In 2017, Dr. Stone graduated from Options for Animals College of Chiropractic and is certified through the International Veterinary Chiropractic Association (IVCA) and the American Veterinarian Chiropractic Association (AVCA).
Dr. Stone’s passion for chiropractic care is rooted in both science and lived experience. She believes the nervous system is the foundation of health, and that when the spine and nervous system function optimally, the body is better able to adapt, regulate, and heal.
Before becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Stone earned a Bachelor of Science in Sport Management from the University of Massachusetts, where she was a three-year starter on the women’s lacrosse team, nationally ranked in the top ten all three years. She spent eight years in public relations and marketing within the sporting goods industry before feeling called to pursue a career in healthcare.
An endurance athlete for more than four decades, Dr. Stone has completed over 130 triathlons, including an Ironman-distance race and seven Half-Ironman (70.3) races. She has also completed eleven marathons, qualified for the Boston Marathon five times, and participated in hundreds of additional road races. She credits regular chiropractic care as a key factor in her ability to remain active, resilient, and injury-free.
She and her husband are raising their teenage son here in the community they serve. As both a doctor and a mother, she understands firsthand the importance of supporting growing bodies, active lifestyles, and resilient nervous systems. Her greatest joy is caring for families over the years — watching babies grow into children, children into teenagers, and parents into confident advocates for their family’s health.
Dr. Stone is passionate about helping families build a foundation of health that supports every stage of life.
At Active Life Chiropractic, we want to provide the best chiropractic care for you and your family in a friendly, pleasant and comfortable atmosphere. We are all here to help you with any questions you may have.
Emily Riblett is our student intern from Life University. Originally from New Jersey, Emily moved to GA for chiropractic school; she earned her bachelor’s degree in neuroscience from Susquehanna University, which continues to shape her understanding of the brain-body connection. Her passion for perinatal and pediatric chiropractic grew through her own journey into motherhood. Experiencing pregnancy, birth, and the postpartum period firsthand opened her eyes to the gaps in care for women—especially during the fourth trimester. Today, she focuses on supporting mothers and babies through gentle, nervous system–focused care. By helping restore balance and improve communication within the body, her goal is to help each individual feel more supported, connected, and able to thrive.
Coming soon — our next intern who will start in July.
Dr. Kaitlyn Van Strien graduated from Life University in 2016. She spent a few years practicing in various clinical settings with athletes and personal injury patients before she found her true passion of working with pregnancy and pediatrics. She was hired by Life University in 2019 to oversee their midtown chiropractic clinic, located next door to the Atlanta Birth Center, and it was here that she gained extensive experience with perinatal care and found her true calling. Dr. Kaitlyn is Webster certified and has completed several ICPA courses ranging from infant exams and adjusting techniques, to perinatal health and building a family practice. She now teaches on campus at Life University in their outpatient clinic, working with students to enhance their adjusting skills and build their confidence with patient care. When she’s not in the office or teaching, she enjoys working out and spending time outdoors hiking, camping, or kayaking with her husband Jim.
Dr. Kaitlyn is available by appointment only on Mon. afternoon and Tues & Thurs. morning. To schedule with her, you may call or text her at 470-677-8421.

Loka is our office dog, a 3-year old Golden Retriever who also is our therapy dog. She’s a bundle of joy and comes to the office almost every day. She loves walking around saying hello to people, playing in the backyard, or sleeping behind the front desk.
If people are scared of dogs, she stays behind the front desk area. Otherwise, she’ll be happy to bring you a toy or roll over for belly rubs.
We are sad to post that our amazing office dog Kalo crossed “the rainbow bridge” in February 2021, after 13 amazing years in this world. She was a huge part of our office, as she was there almost everyday, playing with patients in the backyard, demanding belly rubs and hand shakes, and fetching the ball non-stop.
She left this world peacefully on her own decision. While we are heartbroken because of her passing, we know she made a positive impact on all the patients she came in contact with.
These are the local therapists that we recommend:
