Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care utilizes manual spinal manipulation to alleviate pain and improve nervous system function. This evidence-based treatment addresses musculoskeletal issues, enhancing mobility and reducing inflammation. Patients benefit from improved posture, better sleep quality, and increased range of motion through personalized adjustment plans.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses specific light wavelengths to stimulate cellular repair and reduce inflammation. This non-invasive treatment effectively addresses carpal tunnel syndrome, heel spurs, and soft tissue injuries. Patients experience accelerated healing and pain relief without pharmaceutical interventions through targeted light applications.
Decompression Therapy
Advanced decompression therapy gently stretches the spine to relieve pressure on intervertebral discs. This technology-assisted treatment effectively addresses herniated discs, sciatica, and chronic back pain. Patients benefit from reduced nerve compression and improved disc hydration through computer-controlled traction sessions.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialized sports injury treatment combines chiropractic adjustments with soft tissue therapies for athletes at all levels. Our approach accelerates recovery from sprains, strains, and performance-related injuries. Patients receive personalized rehabilitation plans to restore function and prevent future injuries through biomechanical assessments.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscular trigger points to relieve pain and improve mobility. This technique effectively treats chronic muscle tension, headaches, and sports-related muscle injuries. Patients experience reduced muscle stiffness and improved circulation through precise needle insertions at targeted points.

Report
I was in Tennessee for my step daughter's wedding. I been having left hip and groin pain prior to leaving Ohio, for the seven hour trip to Tennessee. After the long drive I was in terrible pain, couldn't sit, walk very well or stand comfortably. My husband found Dr. Hood name will searching for chiropractors. I got in the same day. Dr. Hood did an X-ray, and treated me accordingly. After the first treatment I was more comfortable, went back the next day, and was just about pain free. Dr. Hood gave me a plan to follow until I get back to Ohio. Thank you Dr. Hood for your great practice. And front office people are polite and very friendly. Thanks again.

Dr. Hood is one of the best chiropractors I have ever seen. He is honest, thorough, and good at his job. I was visiting Pigeon Forge with my family when I had some major back pain. He spent close to an hour with me, first stimulating my muscles using a few different techniques, then he stretched me very well and finally adjusted me. Instead of rushing or focusing only on my pain areas, Dr. Hood checked areas that other Chiropractors ignore (such as legs and hips).
He does not accept insurance for out of state patients. If you are comfortable with that or it doesn't apply to you, I would strongly recommend you visit him if you need chiropractic help. I just wish my local chiropractor back home was as good.

I'm a disabled OIF Veteran and have suffered back and hip pain for 15 years. The VA has denied me having any back issues at all for about the same time. This morning I could no longer take the hip pain and went to Dr Hoods office. Ive seen several chiropractors over the years but none got the results Dr. Hood did in just one visit. The adjustment to my upper, middle and lower back literally brought tears.
I couldn't have stopped them of I wanted to. The instant relief was 15 years of pain leaving. I haven't cried since my combat days but I did today out of joy and sheer relief. THANK YOU DR. HOOD! Miss Beverly at the desk is awesome as well. Kind and very helpful.

I was in town from Ohio and my back went out! Dr Hoods office got me right in and his staff was so helpful and nice! After meeting Dr Hood I knew I was in the right place. I went to him twice before leaving town and only wish he was my chiropractor all the time. He truly cares about his patients even if you don't live here. I would recommend anyone having any chiropractic needs call his office! Awesome Doctor and staff!
