Dr. Lisa Margavage joined The Joint Chiropractic network of healthcare professionals in 2018 when she joined the local clinic in Decatur. Dr. Margavage received her bachelor’s degree in kinesiology at Temple University in Philadelphia and her doctorate from Palmer College in Port Orange, Fla., where she graduated magna cum laude.
“The thing I like best about being part of the field of chiropractic is relieving people from their pain,” Dr. Margavage says. “I love helping people feel their best.”
Dr. Margavage enjoys an active lifestyle. Hiking, paddleboarding, and exploring Atlanta with her goldendoodle Roman are the things she enjoys doing in her spare time.
She found herself on the chiropractic path for a pretty basic reason: “I’ve always had a passion for helping people get well naturally,” Dr. Margavage says.
She could not be more happy than being the local chiropractor in Decatur.
“I love the Decatur clinic because of the great community of people we have,” Dr. Margavage says. “I really enjoy having the opportunity to meet new people and build relationships with them! My job is more than pain relief to me. It’s about influencing each aspect of the patient’s life to give them a better quality of life.”
In Case You Didn’t Know …
If there’s one thing Dr. Margavage must always have on hand in her freezer, it’s Halo Top ice cream, which has practically no calories. “It lets me satisfy that sweet tooth craving without feeling too guilty,” she says. “While no ice cream is “healthy,” the low calorie count makes me feel a little better about eating it. It tastes just like any other ice cream! My favorite go-to flavors are mint chocolate chip and peanut butter swirl.”
In addition to finding such an excellent ice cream, the coolest thing Dr. Margavage has done, she says, is snorkel in the Caribbean off the coast of Mexico.
“The color of the Caribbean and all of the wildlife I saw while snorkeling is something I will always remember,” she says. “I was completely blown away by the color of the water the first time I saw it. It was the most beautiful blue I have ever seen. It was also one of the best workouts I’ve ever had! Swimming against the current back to the boat was challenging.”
