I had never seen a Chiropractor before but I was in a lot of pain because of my sciatic nerve and quite frankly I was desperate! I did not want to take steroids and so my wife asked around and many friends we know highly recommended Dr. Ed Thomas and Total Body Healthcare. I have to admit I was very wary at first but after meeting Dr. Ed and listening to him describe my issue and then formulate a plan for recovery my opinion quickly changed. Dr. Ed gave me my first adjustment and let me know right off that my pain would probably get worse before getting better but would soon respond to treatment and heal faster with regular chiropractic care. Boy was he ever right! My hip felt horrible right after that first treatment but a few hours later I was finally able to tolerate walking again for more than a few steps. Dr. Ed gave me stretches to do at home and included massage therapy in my treatment plan and by the end of that first week I was able to return to work. By the end of the second week I was back on my treadmill at home running! I have been seeing Dr. Ed for just over one year now and though I have had a few more episodes of sciatica pain, each occurrence lasted less than a week compared to my first which lasted over two months before coming to see Dr. Ed. In addition, I had a really bad neck which was not allowing me to sleep well at night. Because Dr. Ed focuses on total body healthcare which includes adjustments to your entire spine, my neck is doing much better and I am sleeping more comfortably at night. Highly recommend Dr. Ed Thomas and his Chiropractic services. read more

Dr. Ed and his staff are fantastic! I have been seeing Dr. Ed for 7 years now. I started seeing him for a very specific injury but quickly realized that total spine alignment from neck to sacrum was vital for my health. In the beginning I was seeing Dr. Ed everyday but as I listened to his advice on exercise, nutrition, and supplementation I recovered quickly and was able to scale back my visits to once or twice a week. As I continued to improve under Dr. Ed's care I was able to reduce my visits to once a week and now I am coming in once a month. Last week, my upper and lower back became really tight and was hurting no matter what I tried to relieve the discomfort. It was not time for my monthly visit but I dropped by the office as a walk-in to see if Dr. Ed could see me. They got me in right away and once I told Dr. Ed what was going on he immediately went to work, and I cannot express my relief after the chiropractic adjustment he performed. Over a week of pain that could not be touched with ibuprofen or stretches that have worked for my back in the past alleviated with one visit. Man! I am telling you that a good chiropractor is worth the money but Dr. Ed is one of the best!! If you have been considering seeing a chiropractor because nothing else is working then you are going to want to see Dr. Ed at Total Body Healthcare in Hermitage, TN. He has done wonders for me and my family and he will do the same for you. Thank you Dr. Ed!!! read more

I've been suffering with pain for several years and had no luck with the vast number of doctors that I've seen, in three different states. Most just wanted to push pills on me and move on to the next patient. Dr. Ed was the first to actually explain the causes for some of my pain and to alleviate some of it in order to give me some measure of relief. He is very good at what he does and always has time to answer questions and to explain how everything works. He is also very kind and friendly, as are the nice ladies that work with him. Not only are they helping me, they actually treat me like a person and not just another number, and that counts for a lot as well. I highly recommend Total Body Healthcare. :) read more

Dr Ed Thomas was the first chiropractor I had ever seen. I was so scared but had to get relief from the hip pain I had developed after the birth of my second child. Not only did he help me but he also adjusted my husband and two children. Our family have been patients for over 12 years now and can't imagine life without Dr Ed. He helped me through my third pregnancy and what a different it made and I'm a firm believer that my newborn got the best start possible by getting her first adjustment in the hospital at just a few hours old! We don't look toward a traditional MD for our health care. We look toward Dr Ed and he takes great care of us! read more

Dr Ed and his staff are so friendly and welcoming. They truly care about your overall health. Over the years I and my family have been consistent in my spine care, and we all have greatly benefited to making the commitment. Any time we have a pulled muscle, or we overdo it, we head to this office first. Most times, his care has been exactly what we needed. Getting an adjustment once, is like brushing your teeth once. You use your spine a lot more than your teeth, and you need to take care of your spine. read more

I have been seeing Dr Ed as a patient for around 9 or 10 yrs. When I 1st started as a patient with Dr Ed I had really thrown my lower back out and was in much pain bending over or twisting to my left. After about 6 adjustments at Total Body Healthcare with Dr Ed I was at least 80% better and after another couple weeks and completing some simple exercises at home I was good to go! I appreciate his knowledge of the spine and joints and also his knowledge on good nutrition and natural supplements! read more

I was thinking today, on my way to Dr. Ed's, how fortunate and blessed my family is to have had chiropractic care for most of my adult life, and all of my children's life. We are healthy, not in pain, and active. We get adjusted at least once a month, sometimes, 2-3 times a month if we need it. I can't imagine going through life without spine care. I love the atmosphere, everyone is so friendly and knowledgeable. He has been our family Chiropractor for over 20 years. read more
