Meet Dr. Crystal Hickman, D.C., MSPP

I am Dr. Crystal Hickman, a mother of two amazing children, an entrepreneur, and a Doctor of Chiropractic with a master's degree in Positive Psychology, and a Licensed Financial Agent. I named my company A.L.T.A., an acronym for Advancing Lives Through Adjustments, LLC, as a promise to my great-grandmother, Alta Carter, to keep my promise to always learn and walk in purpose. I am a Virginia State University alumna and a proud Trojan at heart! I am also an alumna of Life University where I have been both a graduate and staff member. I have had the honor of being a speaker at the Atlanta Black Expo and enjoy speaking at events to educate the masses on chiropractic care, positive psychology principles, and financial literacy.

After experiencing a variety of life situations, I have been able to reflect and realize that each circumstance had a divine purpose. I've always been drawn to the idea that change starts from within, whether that's a shift in perspective or an adjustment to the body. That belief led me to my unique purpose of blending three powerful approaches to help people realign their lives from the inside out.

Through my work, I've seen firsthand how physical alignment and mental clarity are deeply connected. When we address both, the results are transformative. Whether it's helping someone reset their thinking after a setback or providing relief from physical discomfort, I'm committed to supporting people in making intentional adjustments that lead to lasting change.

My approach is grounded in science, guided by compassion, and tailored to meet you where you are. I believe in the power of small, consistent shifts in thought, in movement, and in momentum. As a result, I now speak boldly with a renewed passion and write with catchy phrases and acronyms that help people learn and improve their health physically, mentally, financially.
