Meet Dr. Amber K. Jackson
For Dr. Jackson, Heal Better is more than the name of her practice, it’s the philosophy behind how she cares for people.
As a chiropractor, professor, clinical researcher, and former collegiate athlete, Dr. Jackson brings a unique perspective to health, movement, and human performance. Her own experiences navigating healthcare shaped her desire to become the kind of doctor she once wished she had. One who listens, explains, and takes the time to understand the person, not just the problem.
At Heal Better, there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Dr. Jackson combines clinical expertise with thoughtful, individualized care designed around how each patient feels, moves, lives, and wants to function.
Because healing shouldn’t feel rushed, and great care should always feel personal.
Her Story
Long before becoming a doctor, Dr. Amber Jackson understood the demands we place on our bodies. As a collegiate athlete, movement and performance were part of her everyday life, until a back injury changed the trajectory of her future.
While playing volleyball at Alabama State University, Dr. Jackson sustained an injury that resulted in multiple lumbar disc protrusions. At the time, she had envisioned a future in orthopedic surgery. Instead, her own experience as a patient sparked a different question: What if healthcare could do more than respond when something goes wrong?
That question ultimately led her to chiropractic and shaped the way she practices today.
Dr. Jackson went on to earn her Doctor of Chiropractic degree and build a career that extends beyond private practice into higher education, clinical research, and human performance. Her work has allowed her to care for patients, educate future doctors, study how the body functions and adapts, and bring that knowledge back into the treatment room.
Today, Heal Better represents the culmination of those experiences, a place where science, movement, personalized care, and genuine human connection come together.
The goal isn't simply to get you through what hurts. It's to help you understand your body, move with confidence, and build a better relationship with your health.

Outside of Work
When she’s not caring for patients or teaching, Dr. Jackson’s favorite role is simply being Mom. As a mother of two boys, much of life outside the office is spent cheering from the sidelines, enjoying time with family, and keeping up with the wonderfully busy rhythm of raising two active kids.
A former athlete and lifelong sports fan, she enjoys staying active, traveling somewhere new, catching a live theater performance, or feeding her self-proclaimed nerdy side by getting lost in the latest research. And when it comes to adventure, she rarely turns down an opportunity to try something once.
Dr. Jackson has piloted a helicopter, driven a tour bus, sat in a fighter jet, ridden shotgun around a NASCAR track, lived in Paris, and worked backstage during Paris Fashion Week. She has called nine cities across two countries, and still believes there is plenty left to experience.
