Meet the Doctor

Having received his first adjustment at age eleven, chiropractic has changed his life and the lives of those he loves. He is committed to improving quality of life and helping people achieve vibrant health of body, mind, and spirit by serving the community with exceptional chiropractic care. 

During more than 30 years of practice, he has seen how Chiropractic care can help many people. He has seen it succeed where other forms of health care have failed. He continues to inspire those around him with his passion and philosophy for health and wellness. A father of four, Dr. Schumacher is proud to have been on stage as his two daughters became Doctors of Chiropractic and joined his practices.

Outside of the office, Dr Schumacher enjoys competing in Senior Olympic competitions across the country. He has continued to push himself in events and believes you can become faster and stronger even as you age. He enjoys weekends at South Holston Lake, and tries to make time to travel and live each day to the fullest. He has even taken several trips abroad with chiropractic students to provide care to those without.

As the daughter of a chiropractor, Dr. Conry learned to have faith in the ability of the body to heal itself. She received her first adjustment the day after she was born and has continued to utilize chiropractic care throughout her life as her primary source of healthcare. Dr. Conry has always had a passion for working with children, and having the opportunity to positively impact pregnant women and children on their wellness journey has been a dream come true.

“I am very passionate about spreading the word to parents about the importance of spinal health to developing children, and it starts in the womb. Birth can be a very traumatic event for all involved, and even mild spinal trauma can cause nerve interference and cranial distortion which can impact proper growth and development. My kids received their first adjustments right after birth. They each had a misalignment in their upper cervical spine that was gently and easily corrected. Making the correction at this age allows for greater spinal health from that moment on. Expectant and new mothers put a tremendous amount of stress on their spine. I received prenatal and perinatal chiropractic care that allowed me to have two natural home births that I cherish. Weight gain, the opening and closing of the pelvis during vaginal birth, altered posture, and inconsistent sleep patterns can have an effect on spinal health. With regular chiropractic adjustments, health is improved and moms can get back to being Superwoman!” – Dr. Conry
