Services
Chiropractic Care
Our chiropractic care addresses musculoskeletal conditions through manual adjustments to improve spinal function and alleviate pain. Patients benefit from personalized treatment plans targeting back pain, neck pain, and joint issues. This non-invasive approach promotes natural healing and enhances overall wellness for individuals of all ages.
Cold Laser Therapy
Cold laser therapy uses targeted light to reduce inflammation and accelerate tissue repair for conditions like carpal tunnel and heel spurs. This painless treatment stimulates cellular regeneration, offering drug-free relief for chronic pain and acute injuries. Patients experience improved mobility and faster recovery times with this advanced technology.
Decompression Therapy
Decompression therapy alleviates disc-related pain through motorized traction that gently stretches the spine. This technique reduces pressure on intervertebral discs, addressing herniations and sciatica symptoms. Patients receive targeted relief for lower back and neck pain without surgical intervention.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialized care for sports-related injuries combines chiropractic adjustments with rehabilitative therapies to restore performance. Treatments address sprains, strains, and overuse conditions while preventing future injuries. Our experience with professional athletes ensures effective recovery strategies tailored to active individuals.
Dry Needling
Dry needling targets muscle trigger points to relieve pain and improve mobility by inserting thin needles into affected areas. This technique effectively treats chronic muscle tension, sports injuries, and repetitive strain conditions. Patients achieve rapid pain reduction and enhanced muscle function through this evidence-based therapy.

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!

I could barely put my leg down flat when I hobbled into Dr. Hood's office. I had been suffering for months and finally got to the point I could hardly walk or stand up straight. I was a chiropractic assistant years ago and know that the right chiropractor could help. I was able to put my foot down and walked a little straighter after my first visit. He also offers other various therapies that I know can help.
I'm so glad I listened to a friend and finally went for help. Not only did Dr. Hood go to the best Chiropractic college he's from Iowa. Hard to beat a kind, caring, and smart man from Iowa! Do yourselves a favor and go see Dr. Hood, you'll be glad you did. Go Hawkeyes!

My back hurt for two weeks before I decided I needed to go and get it looked at. I went in for my first appointment and received immediate relief. My back doesn't hurt near as bad as it did over the last two weeks. A couple more appointments and I will be rid of this back pain. I am so grateful for Dr. John Hood and the services that were provided to me. Highly recommend!

I recently had the worst migraine I've ever experienced. I went to urgent care and received shots that didn't help at all. Dr. Hood adjusted my neck. My headache started slowly going away within hours it was gone. Thank you very much Dr. Hood.
