Who He Is
Two Decades Inside Pro Sport
For more than twenty years, Dr. Joe Krzemien has worked where the margin for error is smallest. He is in his tenth season as team chiropractor for the Atlanta Dream. For thirteen NFL seasons he served the Atlanta Falcons. His care has reached athletes across the NFL, NBA, WNBA, and Major League Baseball, alongside Olympians.
What a professional roster demands is not a quick fix. It is a system. The athlete has to be ready, week after week, season after season. That discipline became the foundation of his practice, and the reason the pros keep coming back.

Recognition
Hall Of Fame.
Class Of 2025
In 2025, the Professional Football Chiropractic Society inducted Dr. Joe Krzemien into its Hall of Fame. The honor recognizes a career spent at the intersection of elite sport and clinical rigor, the kind of work that never shows up in a box score, yet decides whether an athlete is on the field at all.
The Work
The Same Hands, Every Table
From The Locker Room To The Clinic
The adjustment a quarterback relies on between snaps is the adjustment every patient gets. Same protocol, same precision, whether the body on the table earns a paycheck for it or not.
Pickleball Medicine
The Southeast's First
Comprehensive Pickleball Program
Joe has treated pickleball players for years, long enough to see the pattern. The injuries are not episodes. A pickleball elbow today is a rotator cuff in six months without an underlying program. So he built one.
02
Treatment
Pro-team caliber care, scaled. ART, Graston, manipulation, ARP Wave, Erchonia laser, and decompression.
03
Prevention
The drift that has not become an injury yet. Targeted hip, calf, rotator cuff, and change-of-direction work.
04
Return To Play
Most return-to-play calls are guessed. Joe's are tested. No discharge until you can play your normal volume.
Four pillars. Every age, every level, recreational, tournament, junior, and pro level.
The Book · Coming Summer 2026
The Long Game
The longevity protocol Dr. Krzemien brings to professional athletes, written down and packaged for the recreational player who plans to keep playing for decades.
Racquet sports may add up to 9.7 years of life expectancy. The Long Game is the protocol that turns that statistic into a clinical system you can run for the rest of your life.
Joe wrote it down. The same recovery system he brings to Atlanta Falcons quarterbacks and Atlanta Dream starters, scaled for the recreational player. The daily, weekly, and annual work that keeps a pickleball player on the court for decades, not seasons.
Inside the book
Four parts. One system.
Part One
The Case.
The longevity case for racquet sport. The Copenhagen data, the British cohort, the older-adult replication. Why pickleball plausibly sits inside the longevity dividend.
Part Two
The System.
The protocol in three time horizons. The morning routine, the weekly strength sessions, and the annual deep assessment that builds a plan around your body.
Part Three
The Body on the Court.
The four breakdowns that take pickleball players off the court. The elbow, the shoulder, the lower leg, the fall. What each is, and how the system defends against it.
Part Four
Playing for Decades.
The first thirty days on the protocol. The long view: what twenty years on the court actually looks like, and what it asks of you.
