The Joint Chiropractic - Monroe GA

Dr. Parlier received his Bachelors of Arts in Economics from the University of Maryland and graduated Magna Cum Laude with his Doctorate of Chiropractic from Life University.

Introduced to chiropractic over 20 years ago, Dr. Parlier knows the benefits of chiropractic care first hand. He spent his youth riding horses and working on a farm. Along with many falls, as well as the inherent stresses on his body that went with riding, his back and knees were constantly in pain. At the age of 25, he went to work for an equine chiropractor in Maryland. One day, that Chiropractor noticed Dr. John limping and regularly complaining about his back pain. She adjusted him several times over a week at the barn, and his pains started to go away. After that, he continued with regular care at her office.

Dr. Parlier is known and respected for the thorough and comprehensive examination and diagnosis that he provides to each patient.

In his spare time, Dr Parlier enjoys spending time with his beautiful wife and his 4 children and their weiner dog, Titus.

Dr. Ryan Paramo, DC was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan. He attended Oakland University in Rochester Hills, Michigan. He earned his bachelor’s degree in biology. Dr. Paramo then received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University in Marietta, Georgia. He graduated Summa Cum Laude and was an active member in chiropractic neurology and sports rehabilitation. Dr. Paramo practiced in Denver, Colorado specializing in auto accident and personal injury recovery. He mainly treated whiplash, low back pain and migraines with manual manipulations, cold laser, all-natural supplements and acupuncture.

Dr. Paramo believes that routine chiropractic care allows anyone regardless of limitations to achieve their optimum health goals and live their best life by having a proper functioning nervous system. Dr. Paramo joined The Joint team in Atlanta December 2018 to accomplish these goals with you.

Dr. Paramo enjoys lifting weights and playing basketball at LA fitness. He likes to talk sports and complain about his Detroit teams. Dr. Paramo and his fiancé Claire enjoy exploring Atlanta and bike riding around the city. He loves cooking, reading and playing with his two dogs Jango and Mowgli. Dr. Paramo is a huge fan of coffee and must have one every morning. Dr. Paramo being a huge fan of sports would be honored to be in the presence of Kobe Bryant, Barry Sanders, John Beilein and the legendary Dan Patrick for an ultimate dinner party. The most rewarding thing he has done is travel to El Salvador and provide chiropractic care to an underprivileged community that do not have access to traditional medicine or any alternative form of health care.

Dr. Paramo believes in chiropractic care because it helped him recover from a gruesome hit in high school that almost ended his high school and college lacrosse career. With the aid of chiropractic, he was able to avoid long term chronic issues and it inspired him to pursue down the career path that helped him the most over what traditional medicine could not offer.

Dr. Thalia Gonzalez became part of The Joint Chiropractic’s team of local healthcare providers in 2022 when she began serving residents in the Covington area, where she continues doing the work she finds so rewarding.

“The thing I love most about being in the chiropractic field is being able to care for those who have lost hope in their health and life,” she says. “The other thing that’s gratifying is caring for expecting mothers and then seeing the baby after birth, knowing that every chiropractic adjustment not only affects the health of the mother but also the baby to prepare them for a life of health and vitality.”

Dr. Gonzalez grew up in Dacula and worked previously in Lilburn. She married her high school sweetheart and they have four dogs. She likes reading in her spare time, as well as hiking and going to the beach.

She earned her doctorate in chiropractic at Sherman College of Chiropractic after getting her bachelor’s degrees in biology and psychology from Life University in Marietta.

It was an experience with her family that led her to a chiropractic path. “My mother was suffering from headaches and neck pain” she says. “They were so debilitating that she quit her job and was a candidate for surgery. After starting chiropractic care, she was back to living her life to the fullest, and that’s when I knew that chiropractic was powerful and that I had to be part of it.”

In Case You Didn’t Know

If she could bring together any four people from history for her ideal dinner party, Dr. Gonzalez would bring together Robin Williams, Albert Einstein, singer Selena Quintanilla, and Dr. Rev. Martin Luther King jr. “Robin Williams is a fantastic actor and comedian, I love his movies, and he has a fantastic energy about him, and Einstein was one of the greatest minds of all-time,” she says. “Selena was my favorite singer when I was a child; she was very successful at a young age and very passionate about her career, a strong Latina idol. Martin Luther King was a visionary in terms of changing the future for others.”

She says her beach wedding was the coolest experience of her life: “It was just different but I had the opportunity to share that special moment with my whole family, which had not been together for years.”

The item she always keeps stocked in her refrigerator is iced coffee. “It’s like my morning sweet to start the morning right,” she says. “It’s pretty much my self-care in the morning.”
