Chiropractic & Rehab in Nashville, TN: Built for People Who Don’t Want to Stop Moving
Most chiropractic care gets you out of pain. We do that, and then we make sure it doesn't come back.
At ChiroStrength, every treatment plan combines hands-on care with corrective exercise and home prehab/rehab coaching. You'll leave each visit with a clearer picture of what's going on in your body and exactly what to do about it.
We work with competitive athletes, weekend warriors, and anyone who trains hard and needs their body to keep up. Our rule is simple: treat only what's necessary, educate on the rest. No unnecessary visits, no vague advice, just a clear path from pain to performance. The more you do, the less you’ll need Dr Scott!
Through our blog, YouTube videos, Facebook, and Instagram, we provide a wealth of educational content. You'll learn the difference between injury and pain, safe exercises for everything from wrists and ankles to the spine and core, and how to move better overall.
ChiroStrength is about connecting you with high-quality resources in a simple, personalized way.

Your Bridge Between Pain and Performance
Performance goes way beyond just competitive sports. Performance for you may mean walking your dog or being a care taker for your family. Performance is simply using your body to accomplish tasks of your daily routines and hobbies, all of which requires a certain degree of mobility, stability, and strength.
In most rehab settings you’ll get a piece of paper that gives you low level exercises and after 1 or 2 sessions you go through the drills while someone watches over you from afar. There is very little personalization of the recovery geared towards your goals.
If you’re goal is to get back to performance, it’s important to find someone who can provide you that personalized treatment and recovery program that will get you back to doing what you love with less injury risk, not simply get you moving pain free for a short period of time.
So if you’re looking for an experience where you’ll learn to take control of your rehab and bridge that gap from recovery to performance, reach out and Dr. Dunaway will be happy to discuss how ChiroStrength may be able to help you.
The foundation of all programs used at ChiroStrength are based on what Dr. Dunaway calls the trinity of human movement: Mobility, Stability and Strength.
mobility
Mobility is the ability for the body to move freely both globally and segmentally. Due to a number of reasons, the average person experiences stiffness in different areas like the spine, shoulders, hips, or ankles which leads to an increased risk of injury. The first approach to Dr. Dunaway’s care is making sure the areas which are not moving sufficiently regain that mobility. This is accomplished with Chiropractic adjustments and treating the soft tissues with ART.
stability
Stability simply means being able to control the motion you have. Without this ability, spinal discs and joint cartilage get damaged due to constantly getting over stressed in daily life. By gaining stability with corrective exercises, and eventually group training, the patient gains a solid foundation with which to improve their strength with much lower risk of injury.
strength
Most injuries come from lacking the strength to support quality movement throughout the day. A lack of strength also prevents people from being able to enjoy most hobbies as well. Gaining strength in the core, hips, shoulders, and grip for example, will spare the uneven wear and tear that shows up as early degeneration. Gaining strength on a foundation that has good mobility and stability will improve a person’s chance to live a long, injury free, happy life.

Dr. Dunaway is originally from Cape Girardeau MO. He is the youngest in a family of 4 boys, which is to say he was constantly busy with sports…and getting hurt. His family environment growing up nurtured a passion for an active, healthy life in a large part due to his mother being a Registered Dietitian. It was after a baseball injury that Dr. Dunaway got his first chiropractic adjustment, after which, to his surprise, he was able to play in his very next game. It was at this point he knew there was something special about Chiropractic.
He went on to attend Logan College of Chiropractic and graduated Cum Laude in December of 2012. While attending Chiropractic school he went on to get full body certified in Active Release Technique to improve his knowledge in biomechanics and soft tissue treatment. Upon graduation he moved to Clarksville TN to begin practice.
For the first 3 years in Clarksville, Dr. Dunaway practiced traditional chiropractic but focused most of his continuing education on functional movement and kettlebell training. He quickly realized the need to incorporate corrective exercise and fitness into his Chiropractic philosophy in order to provide the most efficient and long lasting results for his patients. ChiroStrength is the accumulation of 7 years of education, practice since 2012, and countless hours and weekends at seminars learning how to best incorporate coaching and treating into a package of care.
Alongside the practice, Dr. Dunaway spends a day and a half of most weeks working on site in industrial settings, treating employees who are dealing with repetitive use injuries while staying on the job. He sees over a thousand workers a year this way, everything from knees and backs to hands, elbows, and fingers. That work is a large part of why his approach leans so heavily on movement and self care. When someone cannot take time off and cannot stop using the injured area, the exercise has to do most of the work.
With ChiroStrength, Dr. Dunaway is finally able to provide his patients with everything he knows to not just get his patients out of pain, but teach them the importance of daily movement and sustainable exercise to prevent injury in the future.
