Growing Up

Dr. Adam Trapp was raised in Carlstadt, New Jersey, where his grandfather, Dr. Albert Powers, began adjusting him from the moment he came home from the hospital. Dr. Powers, who served the Union City area for over 60 years, became a key mentor to Dr. Adam. A strong advocate for healthy eating, an active lifestyle, and proper hydration, Dr. Powers instilled these principles in his grandson. In high school, Dr. Adam adopted these habits. Thanks to his healthy lifestyle and regular chiropractic care, he rarely experienced colds or serious illnesses. This lifestyle sparked Dr. Adam’s interest in chiropractic care, inspiring him to pursue a career in the field.

Education

Dr. Adam completed his undergraduate studies at Montclair State University in New Jersey. He earned degrees in Exercise Science and Health while also completing coursework to obtain his K-12 teacher certification. For exercise and enjoyment, he was an active member of the university’s rugby football club.

Afterward, Dr. Adam earned his Chiropractic degree from Life University in Marietta, Georgia, where he graduated with honors.

As an athlete, Dr. Adam was always looking for ways to keep his body in top condition. The stress from sports and exercise made it crucial to monitor for subluxations (misalignments of the bones). This interest led him to pursue the Certified Chiropractic Extremity Practitioner (CCEP) certification. The CCEP requires 105 post-graduate hours of study and focuses on comprehensive body treatment.

Professional Career

Upon graduating from Life University, Dr. Adam returned to New Jersey to be closer to his family. He began his career working alongside his grandfather, Dr. Powers, initially performing adjustments and eventually offering therapy and rehab services.

In 2012, Dr. Adam moved back to Georgia to work with professional athletes. He spent about a year and a half at a chiropractic office in Marietta before another opportunity arose. A chance to buy his own practice seemed like the right moment, as he had been considering branching out on his own.

In 2014, he opened Advanced Family Wellness (AFW).

As the sole owner of AFW, Dr. Trapp integrates modern principles of nutrition, detoxification, cold laser therapy, kinesiotaping, myofascial release, core stabilization, and chakra balancing. These techniques help restore health, improve posture, and activate the body’s natural healing capabilities.

His primary methods include: Diversified/Full Spine, Thompson Technique, Neural Kinetic Integration, Brimhall, Quantum Neurology, and Clinical Biomechanics of Posture. These approaches combine the best chiropractic techniques to achieve a balanced and holistic effect on the body, whether neurologically, mechanically, or nutritionally.

Looking Towards the Future

Next steps for Dr. Adam and AFW are expanding into the physical therapy and massage domains.
