Services
We provide chiropractic adjustments designed to address joint and spinal dysfunction while supporting pain relief and improved mobility. Our approach focuses on restoring proper movement patterns that influence muscular and neurological function. Through precise, hands-on techniques, we aim to reduce discomfort, enhance range of motion, and promote overall balance. Each adjustment is personalized to support long-term wellness.
Our Functional Rehabilitation prioritizes precise movement quality to restore optimal function and long-term stability. We utilize evidence-based methods, including Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization, to identify dysfunctional patterns through comprehensive assessment. By emphasizing central nervous system control, we improve joint centration and efficient movement. Each plan is individualized to reduce compensation, enhance stability, and promote lasting, healthy motion.
Our Myofascial Treatment is a hands-on therapy that relieves pain and improves movement. We address restrictions in fascia, the connective tissue that supports muscles and motion. Injury, stress, or overuse can create tension, limit mobility, and cause ongoing discomfort. Targeted soft tissue techniques release adhesions, improve circulation, and restore functional movement patterns. This focused care promotes long-term healing, better performance, and efficient recovery.
We provide dry needling and acupuncture as precise therapeutic techniques delivered by trained healthcare providers. Thin, solid filament needles are inserted into targeted soft tissue to create mechanical and neurophysiological effects without medication. All chiropractors at our practice are certified and apply this method to relieve pain, reduce tightness, and restore movement. Recovery is efficient.
We provide professional sports and therapeutic massage delivered by licensed therapists with extensive training. Our approach integrates movement, targeted pressure, and deep tissue techniques to address mobility limitations, injuries, and chronic pain. Each session is customized to the individual, supporting recovery, circulation, flexibility, and stress reduction. Massage therapy also promotes relaxation, mental clarity, and overall physical well-being.

I went in with back pain. Seth listened and assessed my condition thoroughly. My treatment was successful and I had great pain relief and also learned how to prevent the pain from returning in the future.

I had a wonderful first experience at the farm. I have always been nervous about being adjusted, and I generally suffer from white coat syndrome. Dr. Coleman made me feel comfortable and really listen to my history and symptoms. I look forward to seeing how my treatment plan can better my daily activities.

The FARM and Dr. Alex Coleman are fantastic. I've had nagging knee pain for years and we were able to work through the root cause and strengthen areas needed to fix the pain. Highly recommend!

The entire team at the Farm always impresses me. They explain the issues and suggest exercises..... unlike other places I've experienced that only try to sign me up for 6 months of adjustments. They really try to fix the problem! I would give 10 stars if I could.

Seth Graham was recommended to my husband and I by a friend at our gym and he and the staff at The Farm have been incredible. We see him for wear and tear from military service, crossfit and jiu-jitsu and he has been amazing through all of it. Cannot recommend him enough.

I am 65 years old. I have never posted a Google review. I've been a runner for 50 years. About a year ago, I began having excruciating pain in my calf muscles, every time I ran. It felt like my Achilles tendons were going to explode. Nothing I tried helped: Rest, stretching, PT. I thought my running days might be over. Then, this past May, a friend referred me to the FARM. I saw Dr. Alex Coleman. Dr. Coleman diagnosed my problem as nerve pain caused by stenosis. My treatment plan included spinal manipulation therapy and easy-to-follow therapeutic exercises. My calf pain while running drastically improved after just a few visits. Fast forward four months...today I ran the BHM 26.2 half marathon. Pain free. Not only that, I set a new personal record for a half. Thank you Dr. Coleman, and the entire team at the FARM, for giving me back my running!! I highly recommend!

Im so grateful for Dr. Beard and his team! He truly listens and is very attentive to my symptoms. Thanks to his expertise, my hip and glute pain started improving from the very first session. The at-home drills he provided have been a game changer in my recovery and movement journey. His office staff is always kind, helpful, and welcoming they make every visit a great experience. Im excited to keep improving the way I move with the support of the FARM!

First time I hobbled into The Farm, I was in pain, discouraged, and had been given a poor outlook as to future mobility. Thanks to The Farm team particularly Dr. Coleman, Im back to running, hiking, cycling, and keeping up with my two sons. They are amazing!

I appreciate Dr Coleman. He listened to my needs and concerns. I was unsure about what to expect because of my neck issues. I appreciate his attention to detail and ability to make me feel comfortable.

Definitely ask for Dr Alex Coleman. He is not what I expected from a chiropractor. He was focused on my health and well being versus a quick snap and pop.

Very professional and astute. It's evident they are focused on rehabilitation and not chronic care. Dr. Coleman guided me to recovery and would strongly recommend him and the FARM.

I had torn my meniscus and was only presented with the option of surgery. My friend referred me to The Farm before making my decision. I went in to be greeted by the warmest and nicest staff, from the front desk to Dr Graham himself. Dr Graham evaluated my knee and informed me that he wanted to work with me and if he felt that I needed to go the surgery route that he would let me know. Long story short I am not going the surgery route. I was able to go on the trips that I had planned, one of them being a little bit over a month after the incident. Im super grateful for Dr Graham and will recommend The Farm to everyone.

The staff and doctors at The FARM are top notch. I've used several chiropractors throughout the years. I've never left a Google review for one...until now. Dr. Alex Coleman has been my go-to when needed. At 58, the aches and pains of an active lifestyle seems to be more numerous than they were a few years back.
Dr. Coleman always takes the time to do a thorough exam to find and address the root of the problem. This isn't a snap, crackle, pop operation. You'll learn more about how parts of your body connect with others. My shoulder pain wasn't a shoulder problem. It was a back problem. With proper guidance and exercise, I was back in the gym within a couple weeks after a layoff of several months. Call them today. You won't be disappointed.

First time chiropractic services seeker here.
I went to FARM on 6/27/25, not only was it my first time visiting them but my first chiropractor appointment. They were amazing! First, the ladies at the front desk are so nice and friendly Then I was taken back for my initial assessment and saw Dr Graham. He was very nice and thorough. He explained everything we were doing, how it was connected to the problem, and was extremely considerate of this being my first appointment and made me very comfortable.
For anyone afraid of the adjustments- try not to be. I had an adjustment done and honestly I feel great! Yes I was sore Friday after my appointment but I was not painful. It was more of an I havent worked out in a while soreness that was gone today.
I think we are on the right path and I am excited / looking forward to see the progress I make here.

Outstanding initial experience starting with Bridget at the front desk and culminating with a very informative and helpful session with Dr. Alex.

I highly recommend The FARM to anyone in need of physical therapy and any other service they provide.

If there was a way to give 6 stars I most definitely would. Everyone at this facility is always so helpful and kind. The real MVP is Dr. Seth Graham. I have had multiple surgeries the last couple years that really left me defeated. From countless PT appts, Dr visits, other chiropractors, no one has been as knowledgeable about the body as Seth. I didnt have much faith at this point. He asked me to give him a month. Its been 6 weeks and I can honestly say there has been a shift in my body and pain level. Hes wonderful and takes the time to explain things as much as needed! The way this facility practices chiropractic work is amazing and so beneficial! Really grateful I found The Farm!!

Thanks to her guidance, Ive been able to stay active and feel my best. The consistency and quality of her care over the years have been truly amazing.

Yesterday was my first appointment at The FARM. I saw Dr. Seth Graham. he did a thorough examination and educated me in a way I could understand. I walked out of my first appointment with him feeling better than when I walked in. I feel confident and safe with the treatment plan and exercises he gave me to work on till the next time we meet. Truly felt cared for, listened to, and welcomed by all staff. I am from Indiana and only in Alabama for a few months. I am feeling very grateful I came across this amazing practice and grateful that Dr. Graham is willing to help me feel better while I am in Alabama. When I make the move back to Indiana he already said he will send me referrals to the best practices to set me up for continued care and success.
