Atlanta Natural Health Clinic

The ANHC Story

The purpose of the Atlanta Natural Health Clinic is to facilitate a greater expression of life by supporting and empowering patients to take responsibility in their quest for health and healing.

Dr. Philip Hurd opened the Atlanta Natural Health Clinic in 1983 as a partner in the practice and massage therapist focusing on sports massage, polarity, and deep tissue work. He went on to become the sole proprietor of the clinic when he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life Chiropractic College in 1991. He has a passion and excitement for supporting a patient’s inborn healing capacity that is reflected in the relationships he has with his patients. Dr. Hurd spent over a year in an intensive clinical mastery training program in Nutrition Response Testing (NRT) as well has having had years working with Dr. John Brimhall. Dr. Hurd is constantly upgrading his knowledge with continuing education courses and seminars to assure he has the most up to date information and skills to facilitate the healing process in the patients he sees.

Lisa Engle began working at Atlanta Natural Health Clinic in 1989 and in May 2017 became co-owner of the clinic. She has worked with Dr. Hurd to create the best possible chiropractic experience for her patients. Her primary focus at the clinic is to educate and empower, facilitating the realization of potential. She was selected as the Chiropractic Assistant of the Year by the Georgia Council of Chiropractic and continues to further her education and training, most recently expanding as a Health and Wellness Coach through OptiMOM Coaching. She has shared her expertise by teaching classes for a variety of chiropractic organizations throughout the country and as a volunteer support for many doctors and staff.
