We are excited to announce the return of massage therapy in early August and even more so that it will be performed by our own very talented Crystal Stidham LMT. If you visited us in 2007-8 you may remember her from then as our part-time receptionist!

Crystal Stidham is a native of Daytona Beach, Florida. At the age of 16 she moved to Kingsport, Tennessee, where she graduated from Dobyns-Bennett and completed Bachelor Degrees in both Biology and Studio Art at East Tennessee State University. With a penchant for healing arts and physical activity, she furthered her professional and personal studies by way of massage school, Body Code energy work, nutritional therapy and CrossFit after moving to Nebraska in 2011. “I have been loving what I get to share ever since, and I am so excited to be returning to the mountains of Northeast Tennessee! Drawing from a host of modalities, I create a therapeutic blend of what feels most beneficial for each client within the scope of practice of massage therapy."

Take the time to prevent injury! Make sure the item is close and directly in front of you. A good rule of thumb after lowering your rear is to level your head or tilt it up slightly in order to curve your low back slightly forward.

I am honored and feel very blessed to have been able to safely, so thoroughly, and holistically help so many folks with chiropractic care for a quarter of a century. I should add that while I was young, western medicine failed both my parents in their healthcare issues to a nearly and eventually terminal effect. I was positive that a healthy lifestyle, less reliance on drugs and a much more natural approach would be so much more effective for a long, happy, productive and healthy life. I am SO thankful and happy to help so many as a chiropractor.

Dr. William Hamilton has deep roots in East Tennessee, both personally and professionally. Following in the footsteps of his father, an optometrist, he wanted a career that allowed him to help people. He decided that chiropractic would allow provide him with the best chance to help people improve their overall health and quality of life. A “Vol for life,” he studied Pre-Chiro/Pre-Med at University of Tennessee Knoxville, before completing his undergraduate studies with a Bachelor of Science in Biological Studies at East Tennessee State University in Johnson City. Only then did he venture to Marietta, Ga. to continue his education at Life University. where he earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic in 1998. After graduation, he returned to TN and joined the TCA just a few days later. He settled back in his hometown of Kingsport where he joined Appalachian Chiropractic, led by 3rd generation chiropractor, Dr. Ronald Chambers. There, he also got to know Dr. Mary Chambers (Dr. Ronald’s mother) who was one of, if not the first female DC in the state of TN.
Through chiropractic care, Dr. Hamilton has continued the family tradition of helping people live more comfortably and with better health. With over 25 years under his belt, he is proud to say that the clinic has been serving the NE TN and SW VA community in that same location for over 85 years! During that time, he has consistently supported his profession through membership in the TCA and is a familiar face at TCA events. We celebrate Dr. Hamilton’s dedicated service to his community and look forward to the milestones to come!
