Services
Chiropractic Care
Our general chiropractic services address neuromusculoskeletal conditions through precise spinal and extremity adjustments. We treat patients of all ages, from infants to seniors, using tailored techniques that correct postural imbalances and improve nervous system function. Regular adjustments help maintain optimal body mechanics and prevent future injuries.
Sports Injury Treatment
Specialized sports care services focus on injury prevention and performance enhancement for athletes at all levels. Certified Chiropractic Sports Physicians employ techniques like Graston and cupping to accelerate recovery from sports-related injuries while improving range of motion and reducing recovery time for professional and amateur athletes.
Massage Therapy
Comprehensive massage therapy services complement chiropractic treatments by addressing muscular tension and improving circulation. Our therapists use various modalities to reduce stress, alleviate pain, and enhance overall wellness through targeted soft tissue manipulation that supports the body's natural healing processes.
Spinal Decompression
Advanced spinal decompression therapy provides non-surgical relief for disc-related conditions including bulging discs and sciatica. This specialized treatment gently stretches the spine to create negative pressure within discs, promoting nutrient flow and facilitating healing of damaged spinal structures through controlled, intermittent traction.
Pre & Post Natal Care
Gentle prenatal and postnatal chiropractic care addresses the unique needs of expectant mothers using the Webster technique to improve pelvic alignment. This specialized care helps reduce pregnancy-related discomfort, facilitate optimal fetal positioning, and support postpartum recovery through safe, non-invasive adjustments tailored to each stage of pregnancy.

Dr Foote said he'd help with a pinched nerve in my lower back. Was there at 3:28pm. Not even getting 5 minutes in he hurts me trying to crack my neck and said "I dont know why your neck muscle grabbed like that". He proceeds to say let's get you a massage to loosen me up, so we walk into the lobby and they're not offering massages that day. He apologized for not having it today, looks at the front desk worker saying "this kid really knows how to mess himself up" emphatically smacking the front desk as he walks into his office and the front desk woman says "that'll be $50". It's now 3:35pm. A miserable experience. Left in more pain than I went in with, 0/10 would NOT recommend.

We love Dr Walkerwicz! I've used her for all three of my infants and as of today, myself postpartum. She takes her time to listen and is great with the babies. The absolute best in Nashville, and I love that I can 110% trust her with my infants. I feel so much better after one adjustment, too!

Dr. Walkerwicz has been taking care of my family since I was pregnant with my 11yo. She's the best! And twice now ultrasound therapy has worked wonders on a plugged duct.

The actual appointment went pretty well. We were recommended here for the specific issues my daughter has, even though the drive is over 45 minutes. Unfortunately, for the next two follow up appointments the office called the morning of our appts and left voicemails to say they needed to reschedule for various reasons. When I called to reschedule, they couldn't even get us in for another week. So it ended up being two weeks in between her appointments. I found that really inconsiderate and poor care. After the second time being cancelled on in a row I decided they just aren't worth the trouble.

This is the best orthopedic doctor I've been to in 22 years. They have really taken the time to create a care plan for my back pain, pinched nerves and neuropathy in my legs from the bulging discs in my spine. I appreciate them not trying to treat my pain with narcotics or physicall therapy which I've tried in the past with little to no results. I am a non insured cash paying patient and I appreciate the upfront acknowledgement of what my charges and cost will before my consultation or treatment. Allison, my PA is the best.

Been going to Dr. W for years and couldn't be happier with the level of service. Not only is she a great chiropractor but all of the massage therapists and staff are great as well. Look forward to my visits because of the friendly staff and always feel so much better when I leave.

Best people and most thorough care I have experienced. Used the ultrasound therapy for clogged ducts during breastfeeding and the team was overly helpful and accommodating. It worked both times and I will definitely not hesitate to go back again.

Dr. Foote is a professional. His skill at spotting the injury and setting up a guided recovery program is top notch. I have known him for over 3 years now and wouldn't trust another Chiropractor in the Nashville area. Thanks for keeping me (comfortably) on my feet.

Two years ago I began treatment with Dr. Foote for chronic back and neck pain. I have been to many chiropractors in the past and have a high standard. Dr. Foote meets that standard! Thru monthly massage therapy and adjustments my back and neck pain has been the least it has ever been! When Dr. Foote told me that he was opening his own practice, I was very happy to hear that for him and to continue receiving excellent treatment.
My husband has always been skeptical off chiropractic care until he met Dr. Foote and received treatment that alleviated pain from past wear and tear on his body from football and work. He is a believer now! A visit to Dr. Foote's office is something we look forward to, a way to practice self-care. We highly recommend Dr. Foote to anyone looking for a chiropractor who will listen and customize treatment plans to what is best for you! Heather & Terrence Jones

I have been to many different chiropractors in my life since I was 7 and I have never had a chiropractor that I trust more than Dr. Foote. I have scoliosis of the low spine, flat back syndrome of the upper spine, 3 disc bulges in my neck and 1 in my low back ( all detected through MRI). After seeing Dr. Foote and PT, having surgery is off the table and I am now back to running and practicing yoga. Dr. Foote is always on time, and still spends quality time with his patients, I never feel rushed. The staff is also very friendly and I can almost always get in same day or next day!

Dr. Foote has been my Chiropractor for over 3 years. He is hands down the best chiropractor I have ever seen. Every time I have pain in my back and neck he is able to adjust me so I can get back to work the same day. I play a lot of tennis, there have been numerous times that I thought I would not be able to play a match but Dr. Foote gets me ready to play every time. His staff if is friendly, professional and welcoming even if I don't have an appointment.

Dr. Foote has been my chiropractor for about four years now. I love that he is a sports chiropractor and can take care of more than just my spine. When I ran cross country I would have pain in my knees and ankles. Dr. Foote was able to adjust these areas as well as my spine. It really helped for everyday pains but especially when I had a race coming up.

Dr. Foote is the BEST! For anyone who is apprehensive about getting adjusted, have no fear if you visit Dr. Foote. His adjustments are smooth and seamless and he has me feeling better in no time. He also a good listener so when I am describing what hurts what I may have done to cause the problem he know exactly what to do to bring relief.

While this chiropractor office is new, Dr. Foote has been practicing for awhile at another office. I have been receiving chirpractic care from Dr. Foote for chronic back and neck pain for about two years. My experience has been wonderful! Dr. Foote has been very attentive and has helped my back and neck to improve via treatment, massage therapy, recommended stretches and excercises. When I found out that he was opening his own office, my husband and I made the transition.
It's difficult find a good chiropractor, so we were more than happy for Dr. Foote's new office and excited to continue under his care. His office is conviently located, has a great atomsphere, and friendly staff. I highly recommend Dr. Foote!

I had a major crick in my neck, and after going to Dr. Foote it solved my stiff neck. I felt going in there, like my head was a balloon on a toothpick. But the good Dr. solved it for me. And the prices seemed reasonable too.

I seriously hurt my back. Dr. Foot was an incredible asset to my recovery along with a heavy dose of core exercises and yoga. Yes, I have fully recovered:) I would highly recommend Dr. Foot to anyone that hopes there is an alternative to surgery, or surrendering to a life of pain management on a pain pill regimen. Great Chiropractor!

I have been going to Dr. Foote for a while now, and he is truly the best. I searched for a good chiropractor for a long time after moving to Nashville, and he is the best that I have found. He is attentive and detailed in taking care of my regular chiropractic needs and making sure that everything stays where it needs to be so that I say pain-free. When I've had very painful neck problems, he has gotten me back to normal and out of pain extremely quickly.
All of his office staff are absolutely wonderful - they are friendly and welcoming every time you come in. I haven't had most of the therapies he offers, but the massage therapy is always fabulous and very helpful. Overall, I would (and have) HIGHLY recommend Dr. Foote to anyone looking for a chiropractor in the Nashville area. It is definitely worth the drive into Green Hills to see him!!
