Family Roots Chiropractic

06/03/2026

We’ve always believed that what you put in your body matters just as much as what we do in the office.

Over time, the counter at Family Roots started filling up with the things we actually use at home and recommend to patients who ask.

LMNT and Just Ingredients electrolytes because most people are more dehydrated than they think, and plain water isn’t always enough.

Earthley tinctures because they work and the ingredients are clean.

Truvani creatine and protein because we use them.

Bug Shield and TerraShield because it’s summer in Tennessee and you need something that actually works and isn’t full of chemicals.

None of this requires an appointment.

Stop in, look around, and grab what you need.

If you’re not sure what would be a good fit for you, send us a DM or give us a call.

We’re happy to chat about it.

Yesterday, like every Monday, I spent the day at Stacie Hunt’s midwifery office. I want to explain how that came to be because I think it says something important about how I approach this work.

Stacie and I started working together because there was genuine demand, and my schedule filled up faster than I could accommodate everyone at my own office.

So I started coming to her.

What I love about it is that Stacie and I are working toward exactly the same goal for each mom.

She’s supporting their birth plan, their body, their choices.

I’m helping their pelvis and their nervous system function as well as possible heading into labor.

Those two things fit together naturally.

A lot of the moms I see on Mondays are planning natural or low-intervention births.

They are being incredibly intentional about their prenatal care. The fact that they found chiropractic care as part of that is something I take seriously, because they are trusting me with something that really matters to them.

If your midwife anywhere in the area has mentioned Certified Webster technique or perinatal chiropractic, I would love to share more!

🚨 CONSTRUCTION OUTSIDE OFFICE 🚨

Heads up to all our patients - we aren’t exactly sure what this construction will look like outside the office but it is going to be there for the next couple weeks. If possible, you may want to plan to give yourself a couple of extra minutes when heading to appointments.

Motorists are advised that road work is scheduled to begin Monday, June 1 at Buffalo Road and West Gaines Street (Old Highway 64).

According to information provided, work is expected to take place daily from 7:00 AM until 4:00 PM and is expected to take a couple of weeks to complete.

Drivers are encouraged to seek alternate routes if possible and should expect delays in the area while work is underway.

We hear it pretty regularly. "I wish you took insurance."

We completely understand that, and we want to be honest about why we made the decision we did.

When a practice runs through insurance, the person deciding what care you need is not your chiropractor.

It is someone at an insurance company who has never met you, working from a list of what they will and will not cover. We were not willing to hand that over.

What direct care means for you is no visit limits, no surprise bills, and no one telling us what we are allowed to do when you are in the room. Just a plan built around what your body actually needs.

Our pricing is straightforward and we tell you exactly what to expect before you come in.

Most patients tell us they prefer it this way once they experience it.
If you have questions about cost before you book, just ask. Comment ROOTS or send us a DM.

The people who get the most out of care are usually not the ones who come in at their worst...

They are the ones who come in consistently, stay ahead of the tension before it becomes a problem, and keep their body functioning the way it is supposed to.

We are not here to just put out fires.

We want to be the kind of practice that helps you feel good enough that you almost forget to come in, and then you do anyway because you know what it feels like when you don't.

That is the version of chiropractic we believe in at Family Roots.

If that is new information, we would love to introduce you to it.
Comment ROOTS and we will reach out to get you scheduled.

Someone asked us recently what a normal day looks like for us, and the honest answer is that it depends entirely on what is happening at home that morning.

Right now we have a six month old, an almost two year old, and a three year old, so every week looks a little like a puzzle we are figuring out together.

Mondays Michael is in the office all day while Heather is over at Niswander Family Medicine with Stacie Hunt seeing pregnant and postpartum patients.

Tuesdays and Thursdays, Michael and I swap up. One of us is in the office in the morning while the other is home with the kids, and then we swap for the afternoon.

Wednesdays Michael is in the office all day.

Fridays Michael is in the office in the morning.

It is a little bit of a juggle and we will not pretend otherwise. But it works because we are genuinely in this together, and that is not something we take for granted.

The thing we keep coming back to is that the same way life works better when you have a good team around you, so does your health.

We want to be that for our patients. Not just someone you see when something hurts, but someone who is actually on your team, helping you show up and feel like yourself so you can live the life you actually want to live.

If you have been thinking about coming in, we would love to meet you.

I want to talk to the guys who have been writing off what their body is doing as just getting older.

The morning stiffness, the catch in the hip, the tension that builds through a workday and never fully goes away. Those things usually have a specific mechanical reason behind them.

It is not just aging. It is your body compensating for something that has been off for a while.

When you come in, we sit down before I touch anything. We take X-rays right here in office and I walk you through exactly what I see. Then I tell you what to expect, how many visits before you should feel a real difference, and what the process looks like.

Most guys leave that first visit feeling like they finally have a real picture of what is going on. That part alone seems to mean a lot.

If you have been managing around something longer than you should have, come in and let's look at it.

What is different about SoftWave compared to a cortisone shot is that the shot manages inflammation for a period of time, usually a few months, and then wears off.

You didn't heal. The problem is still there.

SoftWave works differently. It sends signals into the tissue that activate your body's natural repair process. You're actually healing the area, not just quieting it down temporarily.

It is not the right answer for everything. I would never tell you it replaces surgery for a severe structural problem.

But for a lot of the chronic tendon and joint issues I see in here, it is giving people results they were not getting anywhere else.

The conditions that respond really well to SoftWave are those that are often hard to fully resolve with traditional treatment.

Chronic knee pain.
Plantar fasciitis.
Tennis elbow.
Frozen shoulder.
Tendonitis that keeps coming back.
Hip pain that hasn't responded to injections.

First session is $50 per region for a limited time. No package commitment required.

If you have something that has not gotten better with what you've already tried, I would really encourage you to come in and let us take a look. Just send us a DM or call the office.
