Thrive Integrative Medicine

Thrive Integrative Medicine on Prince Avenue has been providing whole person healthcare to the Athens community since 2013, earning a 4.9 star rating with over 225 reviews and winning Flagpole magazine's Alternative Health Treatment award every year from 2016 through 2026. The practice brings together four licensed practitioners across acupuncture, chiropractic care, massage therapy, and movement classes under one roof. The team includes Tony Galis, a licensed acupuncturist practicing Traditional Chinese Medicine and herbal medicine; Dr. Allison Kennamer, a chiropractor; and Carmen Plumb and Michea Graham, licensed massage therapists. The integrative model means the practice matches patients with the most appropriate therapeutic modality for their specific condition, whether that is acupuncture for allergies and migraines, chiropractic for joint pain, or massage for injury recovery. What sets Thrive apart from standard medical offices is the collaborative approach. Rather than working in isolation, the practitioners function as a team, and they also coordinate with patients' other healthcare providers. This integrated perspective addresses conditions like anxiety, reproductive concerns, chronic pain, and seasonal health issues through the body's natural healing capacity rather than relying solely on pharmaceutical intervention. The Prince Avenue location in the Normaltown corridor provides a calm, welcoming environment that feels intentionally different from a typical clinical setting. New patient consultations are thorough and establish individualized treatment plans. The practice accepts most insurance plans for chiropractic and some acupuncture services.
