Look to the Structure!

When the house has issues, check the foundation.
When the car has issues, check the alignment.
When the water pressure slows, check the hose.

It’s natural instinct to assess the structure when something isn’t functioning the way we know it should.

That’s because it is a universal law that STRUCTURE DICTATES FUNCTION.

However, when the human body has issues, often people forget or neglect this truth.

Are you ready to step back and see from a new perspective?

One that understands that the human body was designed to heal from the inside out! That understands health challenges are signals that your body is having to adapt to a less-than-ideal environment, in a way that it cannot sustain longterm. I like to say it’s like your body is waving little red flags to get your attention. This is why if you listen to your body well, you can support it before the dam just about bursts. (Function).

One of the best ways to listen to the body, beyond subjective symptoms, is taking a look at your structure! I can objectively identify compression and tension in your system that might be draining the body’s energy, interrupting nerve, blood, lymph and oxygen flow or causing discomfort (Structure).

My goal is to put my patients in the best position to heal from the inside out because the reality is that no amount of pills or supplements can restore a collapsed structure.

My unique and gentle approach to get you UP, OPEN & BALANCED.

At Summit Chiropractic, we have a forward-thinking global approach that analyzes the entire body three-dimensionally, relating it to gravity, for more specific and efficient chiropractic results.

We go beyond the two-dimensional model of a ‘bone out of place.’ It’s an entire system out of place. Muscles, ligaments, tendons and fascia all play a role in your 3D balance and tensegral structure, so we work with them all to provide efficient care.

We are home to the only Posture IQ in East Tennessee. This machine enables Dr. Ryan to share with you how your body is changing with and between every single release. Constant re-exams for you = being empowered and no guessing.

We brought a gentle, specific hands-on release technique unlike anything East Tennessee has seen before.
No twist, crack, pop. We don’t fight the tension, we release it.
No instruments. We believe in connectivity and being able to feel tonal changes as they occur.

Truly, we practice chiropractic for the 21st century and we’re so proud of it!
