Sports Chiropractic Nashville: Care Built for Athletes
Nashville athletes are turning to sports chiropractic for faster recovery and peak performance. Discover specialized care built for every level of competition.
Dr. Chris Dohnal developed a passion for health care at a young age, inspired in part by a collegiate cross-country injury that traditional medical treatment could not resolve. After a chiropractor successfully diagnosed and corrected his injury, he was motivated to pursue a career helping others return to the activities they love through chiropractic care. A student-athlete at Mount Union University, he earned his degree in Biology before completing his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Logan College of Chiropractic in 2005, graduating with honors. Dr. Dohnal remains committed to ongoing professional development through annual training and active membership in the Tennessee Chiropractic Association.
Outside of the office, Dr. Dohnal enjoys spending quality time with his family. He and his wife, Linda, are the proud parents of three sons and two very pampered dogs. Whether they’re attending community events, cheering one another on at soccer games and tennis matches, or making memories with family and friends, the Dohnals stay active and involved.
Dr. Dohnal practices what he preaches by receiving weekly adjustments, prioritizing his own spinal health and overall wellness. This consistent care allows him to maintain his active lifestyle and continue working toward his personal performance goals, which include running, biking, swimming, weight training, and competing in triathlons.

Great place, great people! Quality care at an affordable price. Always an amazing experience. We have been seeing Dr. Dohnal for about a year now. He always takes time to catch up and asks how our family is doing. They are flexible with our schedule. Highly recommended!- made this statement a couple years back, and it definitely holds up. Great people, best care, family atmosphere. Went to many chiropractors before, found none better, stopped searching.
It was my first time at the clinic, and honestly, I was treated very well. Usually, places like this make me feel uncomfortable, but that wasn't the case this time. They even gave me a surprise gift. Great job!
Dr. Dohnal is one of the kindest chiropractors I’ve ever visited. He is thorough and really cares about your whole well being. He gives a thoughtful wellness plan with exercises, suggestions, and care. 10/10 recommend.
Wonderful staff excellent care …my back issues have improved tremendously
Dr Chris is amazing, he is easy to talk to, listens to your complaints/issues and don’t just do some adjustments and send you on your way. He wants to understand your situation and make sure the best treatment is selected. Highly recommend him.
To start this is Long 16yrs. You don’t say in two words)>> I can share personally the quality of treatment and care that a Chiropractor, who knows the benefit of being well trained, and great knowledge of how to deliver that treatment to give you the relief that medical Dr’s wish they could do.In my time I have had more than 1or2.😂 With age comes knowing how to separate the average chiropractor from one that you know deserves 5 Stars!! Dr Dohnal is one of those chiropractor’s. This is not just Flattery words, but over 16 years of Health Wellness Dr.D has treated me from Head to Foot.😍 all without Drugs which is important to me. Some things like the plague of arthritis or a disc out of place which I have both. I find once month adjustment to stay in tune keep arthritis from being a constant chronic pain. The bigger issues like a dis out of place can’t mend by coving with numbing drugs. Yes, this requires more time -but no drugs and a couple of adjustments I am soooo🤗 much better, not healed but appreciate that Dr.D sets up program for my specific treatment. I work everyday >> he works with my time to schedule. Truly, a heart for his patience first! This old saying “Bet you can’t try just one visit” you will want to go back🌺
Had some pretty bad back pain. And my appointment wasn’t until later in the afternoon. Called to see if there was anything available and they were able to squeeze me in a few hours earlier, which was great because the pain was bad. Over all great people very friendly and Caring
Dr. Dohnal is the first chiropractor to recommend decompression. I have seen 10-12 chiropractors and physical therapy places and not one has even suggested it. It's the one thing that has given me mobility in my back. I am so thankful for it.
