About Freedom Chiropractic

Freedom Chiropractic in Knoxville, Tennessee is led by Dr. Sara Nelson, DC, who founded the practice with a mission to help patients facilitate healing in their bodies through nervous system centered chiropractic care. Located at 7827 Montvue Center Way, the practice specializes in care for families, children, and expectant mothers.

The Freedom Experience begins with a welcoming environment designed for families — complete with a nursing room, changing room, kids' play area, and coffee bar. New patients receive a thorough consultation and assessment that evaluates the location and severity of nerve interference using three non-invasive diagnostic scans with certified NASA technology. X-rays may be taken when necessary, right in the office.

Dr. Nelson's approach focuses on the nervous system as the master controller of health. Rather than simply treating symptoms, Freedom Chiropractic works to identify and correct the nerve interference that may be contributing to a wide range of health challenges. The practice is particularly well-suited for pediatric care, prenatal care, and families seeking a natural approach to health.

The office is open Monday and Thursday from 10:30am to 1:30pm and 3:30pm to 6:30pm, Tuesday from 3:30pm to 6:30pm, and Wednesday from 9am to 12pm and 2pm to 5pm. For families in Knoxville, Farragut, Maryville, and the surrounding east Tennessee area seeking nervous system centered chiropractic care in a family-friendly environment, Freedom Chiropractic offers a comprehensive and welcoming experience.

So thankful for Freedom Chiropractic! I started care during my second pregnancy when my lower back pain/sciatic nerve pain was unbearable and affecting my ability to care for my toddler. Not only did their care relieve my pregnancy discomforts, but my delivery was drastically different (in a good way) than my first. Now I’m continuing care postpartum and initiated care for baby to help with regulation of her GI system and breastfeeding! We LOVE all of the docs & staff & are so thankful for their care!

Absolutely love Freedom Chiropractic! I look forward to every appointment because I leave feeling so much better. All of the doctors and staff are incredibly professional, warm and friendly. I love that they have an orientation class before your first adjustment to explain and teach about our bodies and how they are made to heal themselves; and what to expect at your appointments! My 3 year old LOVES to play in the kids play area while I’m getting adjusted and if she ever needs anything the front staff are ready to help. I’ve been to other chiropractors and nothing comes anywhere close to Freedom. I could say so much more, but give them a try, you will not regret it!

The environment is so great to walk into every visit, and the improvement is 100% times better than I have experienced with any other treatment or medication. It’s so worth it! I’ve dealt with chronic back issues from herniated disc to sciatica, and the amount of improvement I’ve seen is by far the most then anything else I’ve tried. You will see changes and improvement within days and weeks, it just gets even better with time. You’ll love it!

Life changing for me and my girls! As a single mom, I lived in stress all the time and my girls struggled with emotional regulation. I felt like my nervous system was always on edge. Now, we are more calm, we argue less, we communicate better. It’s helped with body posture, picky eating, numbness and joint pain, and so much more. Do yourself favor and go see them, you deserve to feel this good!

The entire environment of Freedom is so welcoming as a first time chiropractic patient. They have plenty of space for your children, and it makes it feel less intimidating. On top of that, they’re extremely informative and helpful in explaining your care while there!
