Meet Our Doctors
Five chiropractors, each with their own focus, all working out of the same building on N Rankin Rd. Tap a doctor to read their background.
Doctor of Chiropractic
Born and raised in Kingsport, TN, Dr. Ben Rasnick’s journey into chiropractic started with a wrestling injury that opened his eyes to the power of natural healing. After running competitively at Mars Hill University on scholarship, he went on to graduate from Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, SC.
Sports and fitness have always been part of his life, and Dr. Ben still makes health and wellness a daily priority. When he’s not in the office, you’ll probably find him out on the golf course, working on a classic car, riding his motorcycle, or cheering on the Tennessee Vols.
He’s also a proud Gold Member of the Tennessee Chiropractic Association and supporter of the PAC fund, helping advance the profession he loves. Most importantly, he’s a husband to Jennifer and a dad to Allison and Bennett.
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Tallent brings over 30 years of chiropractic experience to the team and has been part of our office for 13 years. He’s a graduate of Life University with a background in Sports Recreation from Lynchburg University. His expertise spans Occupational Medicine, Personal Injury, and Rehabilitation.
A decorated athlete, Dr. Tallent is a National Champion and All-American in Track & Field, and an active member of USA Track & Field and the AAU. He lives in Vonore, TN. He and his wife Robin enjoy spending time outdoors, and time with their 6 grandchildren.
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Scott Hoar is originally from Buffalo, New York. He is a Palmer Florida graduate and practiced in Boynton Beach, FL before joining our practice in mid 2020.
Dr. Hoar was a catcher on the baseball team at Radford University where he was injured with debilitating hip and lower back pain. After an exhaustive search, he found himself in a chiropractor’s office and found the relief he was seeking. After that experience he knew what he was destined to do in helping people get out of pain and improve their overall physical health.
Dr. Hoar is married to Dr. Megan Jack and they have two active little girls.
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Shiflet graduated Chiropractic school from Life University in Marietta, GA in 2018. She was born and raised in the small town of Hamilton, AL. Dr. Shiflet is certified in Diversified Full Spine adjustments, Activator, and dry needling.
She started working as a chiropractic assistant in high school and developed a passion for chiropractic. This led her to become a chiropractor herself. She enjoys connecting with patients and providing care that fits each patient’s needs to help them live their best life!
In her free time, you will find her laying by the pool and playing with her pup, Leo.
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Niebel is dedicated to helping patients achieve optimal health and live active, pain-free lives through personalized chiropractic care. He earned his undergraduate degree in Kinesiology from the University of Tennessee before completing his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Cleveland University-Kansas City.
With a passion for movement and wellness, Dr. Niebel enjoys helping patients recover from injuries, improve performance, and maintain healthy lifestyles. Outside the office, he can often be found working out, hiking, traveling, or spending time on the water enjoying lake days, wakeboarding, and surfing.
His active lifestyle fuels his commitment to helping patients get back to doing the things they love most.

LMT, CTA
After a long career in real estate, I decided very late in life to pursue a life-long passion for working in the health and wellness space. I became a massage therapist in 2007 and a chiropractic therapy assistant a few years after that.
This clinic has been my second home for 16 years. I am grateful to have the opportunity to work with a dedicated and caring team of professionals who are committed to the health and well-being of our patients.
My husband Wayne and I live on a small hobby farm in South Knoxville. I am a passionate cook and student of nutrition. I collect cookbooks and have a library of over 1,000 books. I am an avid reader and also enjoy my long, daily walks in the country. My 5 amazing children and 11 incredible grandchildren are the real joy of my life.
Licensed Massage Therapist + CTA
I am a massage therapist that has been practicing for 15 years. I graduated from C.O.R.E., a 750 hour massage program in Knoxville. I specialize in trigger point therapy, myofascial, Swedish and deep tissue.
After working for several years in a spa I found that I really enjoy helping people with their pain management and helping them feel better. I believe that massage therapy is a great way to promote relaxation, reduce stress and ease pain.
I am passionate about helping people feel their best and reach their wellness goals. In my free time my son and I enjoy baseball and fishing.
