About

At TonalSpine Chiropractic, we believe in the vast potential of the human nervous system and its ability to transform health and well-being. Since 2016, our Chattanooga chiropractor, Dr. David Aitken, has dedicated himself to discovering this potential and fostering an environment where the nervous system can thrive, adapt, and restore its innate capabilities.

Our mission is to elevate our community’s health by enhancing the nervous system’s natural ability to adapt and respond to life’s challenges. We aim to shift people’s perception of health from merely surviving to truly thriving, where each individual can experience life fully and without limitations.

At TonalSpine Chiropractic, we believe that true health is about more than just the absence of pain—it’s about balance, resilience, and vitality. By focusing on the nervous system, we empower our patients to take control of their health, improving mobility, reducing stress, and increasing energy for a more vibrant life.

Meet Dr. David M. Aitken

Doctor of Chiropractic | Network Spinal Analysis and Somato Respiratory Integration Specialist

I discovered chiropractic care at a pivotal moment in my life when conventional health care had left me feeling defeated and without solutions. As an 18-year-old preparing for college, I was struck by debilitating shooting pain in my wrists. Despite consulting with various specialists, I was left feeling hopeless and forced to hang up my guitar. It was at this turning point that my guitar teacher handed me a chiropractor’s card, and my life took an unexpected and transformative turn.

Chiropractic not only helped me regain physical function, allowing me to resume playing the guitar, but it also ignited a remarkable shift in my overall well-being. My ability to concentrate improved, my vitality soared, and I experienced a sense of wellness I had never known before. It was as if a veil had been lifted, revealing a level of health and vitality I never knew existed.
