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!

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!
