Herbert Buckner, D.C.

Location: Huntsville AL
My mission as a chiropractor is to support my patients in achieving lifelong health and vitality. I believe in treating the whole person, helping each individual live life to the fullest through natural, holistic care.

Ironically, I did not always believe in chiropractic care. Years ago, I was sidelined by a weightlifting injury that left me unable to stand or walk properly. Faced with the daunting choice of surgery or trying something unfamiliar, I took a leap of faith and visited a chiropractor—thanks to a recommendation from a friend I played basketball with. After just one adjustment, I was not pain-free, but I could walk again. That moment changed my life and my perspective forever.

At the time, I was ten years into a successful engineering career in the missile defense industry. But when the company shut down, I was at a crossroads. I was 33, passionate about people, and loved sports. Chiropractic felt like the natural next step—a calling, not just a career.

I enrolled at Life Chiropractic University in Marietta, Georgia, one of the top programs in the country. The education was rigorous—especially courses like Biochemistry and Physiology—but incredibly rewarding. One vivid memory was having my ankle adjusted by my sports medicine professor after an injury in class. Painful? Yes. But also, a clear demonstration of how powerful chiropractic can be.

Outside the clinic, I am a family man and a proud veteran. My wife Lorraine and I have a big, beautiful blended family—seven kids and seven amazing grandchildren. Two of our sons serve in the Air Force, continuing a tradition of service. Lorraine and I were introduced by our children (they thought we would be a good match—and they were right!). We also co-own Another Broken Egg Cafe, which keeps us on our toes.

When I am not working or at the restaurant, I love playing golf, working out, and taking peaceful country drives with Lorraine. No radio, just good conversation, and the open road.

Health and wellness are not just professional values—they are a personal commitment. I get adjusted weekly, avoid soda, and fast food, and take my supplements daily. My entire family, including my grandkids, receives regular chiropractic care. After learning more about vaccines during my chiropractic education, we made informed choices for our youngest children that reflect our beliefs.

Chiropractic care, to me, is about more than just adjusting—it is about helping people take control of their health and thrive at every stage of life.

Chiropractor

Benjamin Farrington, D.C.

Location: Huntsville AL
Hi, I am Dr. Benjamin Farrington! I am proud to call Lawrenceburg, Tennessee home—and chiropractic care runs in the family. My mom and uncle are both chiropractors, so I grew up immersed in the world of wellness.

Between sports injuries and routine adjustments, I saw firsthand how powerful natural healing could be. It was not long before I knew I wanted to follow the same path and help others feel their best without relying on medication or surgery.

My Chiropractic Journey

I earned my degree in General Biology from the University of North Alabama in 2019, then continued to Life University in Marietta, Georgia, where I completed my Doctor of Chiropractic degree in March 2023. My education not only deepened my understanding of the human body, but it reinforced my belief in a proactive, hands-on approach to health.

Life Outside the Clinic

When I am not with patients, you will likely find me on the basketball court, out in nature, or spending quality time with my friends and family. I like to stay active and enjoy any excuse to be outdoors.

I am excited to be part of your wellness journey. Whether you are dealing with pain or just want to stay aligned and energized, I am here to help you feel your best—naturally.

Chiropractor

Andre McFarlane, D.C.

Location: Guntersville AL
Hi, I am Dr. Andre McFarlane—a chiropractor with a passion for movement, wellness, and a good superhero story. My journey into chiropractic started on the rugby field at Eckerd College in sunny Florida, where I learned firsthand the importance of staying strong, aligned, and resilient.

That athletic foundation shaped the way I approach care: with discipline, teamwork, and a drive to help others perform at their best—on and off the field.

I honed my clinical skills at Palmer College of Chiropractic, diving deep into spinal health, functional movement, and holistic healing. Today, I bring that knowledge into every adjustment, aiming to help patients feel stronger, move better, and live more fully.

Outside the clinic, life is a real-life tag team—I practice alongside my amazing wife, Kendall, who is also a chiropractor. We are proud parents to Luna, our Maltipoo, who is also our fluffy office assistant. Luna takes her job as the clinic’s official greeter very seriously and is always ready to brighten your visit with a tail wag.

When I am not adjusting spines or tossing a tennis ball for Luna, I am probably catching the latest superhero flick or tackling a new video game. I love stories of grit and courage—they fuel the way I show up for my patients every day.

My approach to care is simple: real connection, thoughtful movement, and whole-body wellness. Whether you are healing from injury, improving performance, or just looking to feel better day-to-day, I am here to help you thrive.
