Step inside the REV Optimal Living chiropractic office on Frazier Avenue and it feels like an urban oasis. From the paneled accent walls, to the soft ambient music, to the dry erase boards filled with tips and topics for healthy lifestyles, REV is designed as a respite from the chaos of daily life.

The proprietors are Matt and Monica Smith who met and married while attending Life University in Marietta, Georgia. Together, they have created a holistic chiropractic practice that includes spinal adjustments but doesn’t stop with the pop.

“It’s (about) helping people process stress and trauma that has been causing their aches and pains,” says Monica, 32, a native of Franklin, Tennessee.

“REV means to accelerate in a particular direction,” explains Matt, 31, who grew up in Florida. “We want to help people get the place they want to get, faster.”

Matt says the relaxed-contemporary environment in their Frazier Avenue office is designed to put clients at ease, many of whom may experience mental stress exacerbated by underlying health issues.
