Personalized, Hands-On Chiropractic Care: What Our Patients Are Saying

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, our goal is simple: provide personalized, hands-on care that helps patients truly recover, not just temporarily feel better. One of the greatest compliments we can receive is when patients share their experiences and progress with others.

Recently, a patient shared a review that perfectly highlights the approach we strive to provide every day:

“I love the help that I have received from TN back Pain center. Dr. Teresa talks with me about my daily tasks and has a wonderful holistic approach to health and healing. The scraping and dry needling have been an important part of my recovery. I’ve tried other chiropractic clinics, and no other one is as personalized and hands on. I highly recommend their services.”

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we believe great chiropractic care starts with something simple but powerful: listening.

While advanced techniques, diagnostics, and treatment methods are important, truly understanding a patient’s story is often the key to getting the best results. Every patient’s pain, lifestyle, and health history are unique—and listening carefully helps us deliver care that is personalized and effective.

Every Patient’s Pain Has a Story

Many people come into the office saying things like, “My neck just started hurting,” or “My back has been bothering me for a while.” But when we take the time to ask questions and really listen, we often discover the deeper story.

Maybe the pain started after a new workout routine. Maybe long hours at a desk are causing poor posture. Maybe an old injury never fully healed.

Listening allows chiropractors to uncover the root cause of the problem, not just treat the symptoms.

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we believe the best care happens when patients feel heard, respected, and involved in their health journey.

Your experience, symptoms, and goals guide the care we provide. By taking the time to listen, we can create treatment plans that help you move better, feel better, and live healthier.

We are not your typical Chiropractor. We are not like the Chiropractors you watch on YouTube, and we are not just another Chiropractor in town! We are different, innovative, and research-driven. Here’s how we stand-out:

1. X-rays - The old fashion technique behind Chiropractic was to x-ray patients before any form of treatment - to make sure there are no red flags and to identify areas that need “alignment”. However, the current guidelines do not recommend this. It is more costly, delays treatment, and isn’t an accurate representation of your potential need for an adjustment. At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we only x-ray if deemed necessary. This means if you have any red flags that might indicate something more serious is wrong, if you have suffered some form of trauma, or if we have treated you for a period of time and see no improvement.

2. Treatment plans - You should not have to pay thousands of dollars up front to see a Chiropractor. The traditional and old school Chiropractors use a business tactic to scare you into coming back. They tell you to sign up for a plan where you see them 2-3x/week for several weeks or else your body will fall apart. This is not right. The frequency of your treatments should be based on how you are feeling, how you are responding to care, and more! At Tennessee Back Pain Center, there are no treatment plans. Instead, after each visit we decide together when you need to come back. It might be in a couple days, maybe a week, or even a month later. We want to get you better, out of pain, and out of our office!

3. Quality of Care -Traditionally, Chiropractors may spend 5-10 minutes with their patients. At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we spend 15-45 minutes with every patient. This is important to us because we want to listen to your story, get to know what your goals are, and truly understand your pain. We care about YOU, want to listen to YOU, and truly get to know YOU.

4. Tailored Treatments - Everybody is different. Every condition is different. And everyone responds differently. That’s why our treatments are customized to each patient. We heavily rely on our initial exam and consultation to figure out what the root cause of your pain is. We want to put out the fire, instead of fanning the smoke. Some visits we might not adjust, some visits we might put emphasis on exercise, and some visits we may try something new. It all depends on what you need and what is best for you at the moment.

5. Home Care - We want to equip you with your own methods to get rid of your pain. Therefore, we teach every patient some exercises that they can do at home to keep the pain away! Research has also proven that adjustments coupled with exercise deem the best results clinically and re-enforces the effects of the adjustment to last longer.

6. Keep doing the things you love - Our job is not to restrict your everyday life, but to empower you and strengthen you to keep doing what you love for many many years. There are some instances that we might say to back off on a certain activity TEMPORARILY just to allow your muscles to calm down. But our #1 goal is to have no functional limitations. Meaning you can do everything you want to do, love to do, and more without any pain!

Sciatica is one of the most common causes of lower back and leg pain we see at Tennessee Back Pain Center. If you’re experiencing sharp, shooting pain from your lower back down into your hip, buttock, leg, numbness, burning, tingling sensations in your leg, and/or muscle weakness you may be dealing with irritation of the sciatic nerve.

Understanding the root cause of sciatica is the first step toward lasting relief. Let’s break down what sciatica is — and the most common reasons it develops.

The sciatic nerve is the largest nerve in the body. It begins in the lower spine, travels through the hips and buttocks, and extends down each leg. Sciatica occurs when this nerve becomes irritated, inflamed, or compressed.

Most Common causes of Sciatica:
1. Herniated or Bulging Discs - Between each vertebra in your spine are cushioning discs. When a disc bulges or ruptures, it can press against nearby nerve roots.
2. Spinal Stenosis - When the spinal canal narrows, placing pressure on nerves. This is more common over the age of 50 and with severe arthritis.
3. Piriformis Syndrome - A small, deep muscle in the buttock. If it becomes tight or inflamed, it can compress the sciatic nerve.
4. Pregnancy - Weight gain and postural changes place additional stress on the lower back and pelvis. Hormonal changes also loosen ligaments, sometimes contributing to nerve irritation.
5. Spondylolisthesis - When one vertebrae shifts forwards or backwards, often due to degeneration, trauma, or congenital defects, that leads to compression or pinching of the nerves

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we focus on identifying the underlying cause of your sciatica, not just masking symptoms. Give us a call today at 615-900-5187 to get sciatica relief today.

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we hear it every day:
“I just need to get motivated.”
“Once I feel better, I’ll start moving.”

Here’s the truth: motivation doesn’t come first — movement does.

When you’re experiencing discomfort, your instinct may be to rest completely. And yes, short-term rest can help. But prolonged inactivity often makes pain worse.

Movement helps:
▪ Increase circulation to injured tissues
▪ Reduce stiffness
▪ Strengthen stabilizing muscles
▪ Improve joint mobility
▪ Boost mood and energy
▪ Calm the nervous system

The body is designed to move. When it doesn’t, joints stiffen, muscles weaken, and pain can linger longer than it needs to.

You don’t need to join a gym, do a 60 minute workout or push through pain. Start with a 5 minute walk, 10 minute yoga routine, light stretching before bed, standing up more and sitting less.

Once you move, your brain registers progress. That progress builds confidence. Confidence builds motivation to keep moving.

And if you are experiencing pain, discomfort, stiffness, and more, give us a call today at (615)-900-5187! We would love to help you move better, feel better, and live better.

🥗Tennessee Back Pain Center offers Food Sensitivity Testing

Chronic pain and inflammation don’t always stem from a structural issue alone. In some cases, the root cause may be tied to what’s happening inside your body — especially how your immune system responds to food and environmental triggers.

At Tennessee Back Pain Center, food sensitivity testing is part of a broader genetic and nutritional testing program designed to give insight into how your body reacts to food and other lifestyle factors.

Food sensitivities are different from food allergies. While allergies trigger immediate reactions from the immune system, sensitivities often cause delayed and chronic responses that can manifest hours (or even days) after eating a triggering food. Symptoms may include:
▪ Digestive discomfort (bloating, gas, diarrhea or constipation)
▪ Headaches and migraines
▪ Joint pain and inflammation
▪ Fatigue or brain fog
▪ Mood swings or irritability
▪ Skin issues like eczema
▪ Weight changes

These reactions are often tied to elevated IgG antibodies — a type of immune response that doesn’t show up on typical allergy tests.

Two Key Testing Options
✔ Max 96 IgG Food Sensitivities
This option analyzes your immune response to 96 common foods. It’s ideal if you suspect food triggers are linked to symptoms like bloating, headaches, or irritability.
✔ Max 240 IgG Food Sensitivities
A more comprehensive panel that checks your IgG antibody reactions against over 200 foods — perfect for those with unexplained or complex symptoms.

Both tests require a dried blood sample that is simple and easy to do!

Whether you’re dealing with digestive issues, unexplained fatigue, or chronic pain, food sensitivity testing at Tennessee Back Pain Center can be a useful tool in uncovering hidden triggers. To learn more or schedule a consultation, visit our website and click “Genetic Testing”

Neck stiffness, tension headaches, and limited range of motion are incredibly common — especially for those who spend long hours at a desk or looking down at a phone. One powerful yet simple exercise we often recommend at Tennessee Back Pain Center is Cervical CARs.

CARs stands for Controlled Articular Rotations. This movement helps improve joint mobility, reduce stiffness, increase range of motion, and build better control of the muscles that support your neck.

How to Perform Cervical CARs (Step-by-Step)
1. Sit up tall
2. Slowly tuck your chin towards your chest
3. Slowly rotate your head towards one shoulder
4. Continue lifting your chin upward as you rotate.
5. Gently look upward
6. Continue rotating towards the opposite side
7. Slowly bring your chin back down to your chest
8. Reverse the direction and repeat

The goal with this movement is to go slow and controlled. If you move too fast, you won’t achieve the same benefits.

If you’re dealing with neck stiffness, headaches, or posture-related pain in Murfreesboro, our team at Tennessee Back Pain Center can help you determine whether Cervical CARs should be part of your care plan. Go to our website to schedule an appointment or consultation!

Did you just have a baby or know someone who did? Read this !!

Giving birth is like running a marathon that you haven’t trained for. Your hormones are all over the place, the anatomy of your body changes rapidly, your muscles are overworked and over-stretched, yet new moms rarely get the recovery care they need.

Urinary leakages, constipation, low back pain (especially at the site of your epidural), painful in*******se, constipations, etc. following pregnancy is common, but NOT NORMAL.

Postpartum rehab is so important for the health of the mother, but is often neglected in today’s society. There is a shortage of physical therapists that specialize in postpartum or pelvic floor rehab. OBGYNs are clearing mothers to workout again without giving them the proper recovery.

We want to help mothers recover fully, restore their anatomy, stabilize their hormones, and eliminate the stress and worry about peeing themselves.

Dry Needling for Headaches and Migraines

Headaches and migraines can disrupt your work, your sleep, and your ability to enjoy everyday life. For many people, medication provides temporary relief—but doesn’t address the underlying cause. At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we focus on identifying and correcting the root of the problem. One highly effective tool we use is dry needling.

If your headaches are coming from muscle tension, trigger points, or neck dysfunction, dry needling may be the missing piece.

A large percentage of these headaches are driven by tight, irritated muscles in the neck, upper back, and shoulders. Trigger points—small, hyperirritable knots within muscle—can refer pain into the head, behind the eyes, or around the temples.

What Is Dry Needling?
Dry needling is a skilled technique that uses a thin, sterile filament needle to target trigger points within muscle tissue. Unlike acupuncture, which is based on traditional Chinese medicine principles, dry needling is rooted in modern anatomy and neuromuscular science.

By inserting the needle directly into a tight muscle band, we can:
▪ Reduce muscle tension
▪ Improve blood flow
▪ Decrease local inflammation
▪ Reset abnormal nerve signaling
▪ Improve range of motion

Dry needling sessions are typically quick and precise. You may feel a brief twitch response in the muscle, followed by a deep ache or release sensation.

Dry needling is rarely a standalone solution. At Tennessee Back Pain Center, we combine:
▪ Chiropractic adjustments
▪ Soft tissue therapy
▪ Corrective exercises
▪ Ergonomic guidance
▪ Stress management strategies

Our goal isn’t just to reduce pain temporarily—it’s to help you build a resilient, adaptable nervous system that doesn’t keep triggering headaches.

If you’re ready to explore whether dry needling is right for you, schedule an appointment at Tennessee Back Pain Center. Relief may be closer than you think.

Hip Flexor Marches: A Simple Exercise with Big Benefits

Your hip flexors help lift your leg and stabilize your pelvis. When they’re weak or not firing correctly, your body often compensates elsewhere—commonly the low back, hips, or knees. This can contribute to:
▪ Low back pain
▪ Hip pain or tightness
▪ Poor posture
▪ Decreased balance and stability
▪ Difficulty with walking or stairs

Strong, well-coordinated hip flexors help keep your pelvis and spine working together, reducing unnecessary strain on surrounding joints.

How to Perform Hip Flexor Marches (Standing)
1. Stand tall with good posture—chest up, ribs down, core gently engaged.
2. Slowly lift one knee toward hip height, as if marching.
3. Hold for 2–3 seconds at the top without leaning backward.
4. Slowly lower the foot back down.
5. Alternate sides.

Start with 2–3 sets of 8–10 reps per side, focusing on smooth, controlled movement. If you are feeling this exercise mostly in your lower back, that’s a sign the exercise is not being done correctly. Stop for now and talk to an expert.

Hip flexor marches may look simple, but don’t let that fool you. When done correctly, they’re a powerful tool for improving hip strength, core stability, and overall movement quality. Small exercises, done consistently and with intention, can make a big difference in how your body feels and moves.

If you’re not sure whether hip flexor marches are right for you, or you’re dealing with pain while exercising, give us a call today at (615)-900-5187! We would love to help!
