Chiropractor
Christopher Hood D.C.
I began my career in health care as a pharmacist. After graduating from pharmacy school at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana and working as a pharmacist, my outlook on life was transformed when a friend suggested I visit a chiropractor to improve my asthma related breathing problems and left shoulder pain.
I didn’t know what to expect, but I was genuinely surprised when simple chiropractic adjustments helped and even corrected my health conditions! My chiropractor visits improved my quality of life so drastically that eventually, I sold everything I had in order to attend chiropractic school to heal other suffering individuals. My passion has always been helping others achieve optimal health and vitality.
Based on my prior experience in health care, I understood that it would be my responsibility to educate the community about chiropractic treatments because many individuals don’t understand what chiropractic care truly means. Many in our community simply view chiropractic care as the treatment of pain. However, my profession has allowed me to share the benefits of lifelong chiropractic care with others every day.
I will continue to educate our community about the dramatic health benefits experienced by families and individuals over a lifetime of chiropractic care. I am excited to meet you in person and share my story with you while guiding you on the road to health.

Danielle Hood D.C.
When I was 23, I was the sickest young adult that I knew. After receiving treatment from a chiropractor for upper neck and back pain, my life was totally transformed! After my first treatment, I knew that my health and life were on the road to recovery.
After my treatment, I was jovial and felt more relaxed than I had felt in years. These feelings led me to continue to see the chiropractor to correct my spine and nervous system. I was surprised by how quickly my back and neck pain went away and how much energy I had as a result of the treatments.
My chiropractor taught me how to take care of my health and my life has not been the same since. Chiropractic care improved my life so dramatically that I decided to commit my life to helping others live a long, healthy life!

Freddy Minaya D.C.
My journey with chiropractic started when my wife, who suffered from completely debilitating migraines for over 10 years, was completely healed of them by chiropractic. From that experience, I decided to dedicate my life to helping others achieve similar health miracles through chiropractic.
I graduated from Florida Southern College with a Bachelor's in Biology. I then attended National University of Health Sciences for chiropractic school and graduated in 2013. Today I practice in Pinellas county, Florida. My goal is to radically transform the lives and health of my community. I've committed my life to teach people that their health starts from the inside out and is supported by a healthy spine and nervous system. I absolutely love what I do. Through chiropractic I see miracles everyday in the lives and health of my patients. I look forward to working with you and seeing similar miracles in your life and in your family.
