Trusted chiropractic care for Athens
About 30 minutes (17.7 miles) from our Harvest office
Athens runs from the shops around the 1919 Limestone County Courthouse on the Courthouse Square to the historic homes of the Robert Beaty Historic District and neighborhoods like Canebrake and Watercress, and HealthSource of Harvest serves people from all of them. Whether you teach for Athens City Schools, work at Athens-Limestone Hospital, study at Athens State University, or head out on I-65 each morning, Dr. Travis Simmons, DC, offers natural, non-surgical chiropractic care about 30 minutes away in Harvest.
Everyday life in Athens can be hard on the body. Long drives on US-72 and US-31 can leave you with neck pain and headaches, while shifts on your feet or on a plant floor at one of the county’s big employers often show up as back pain or a lingering work injury. Miles on the Swan Creek Greenway can bring on plantar fasciitis, and a fender-bender on AL-251 can mean whiplash that may not show up right away.
Care starts with a consultation and a comprehensive exam, with X-rays if needed, followed by a report of findings and care recommendations, all included in our $29 New Patient Special. From there, Dr. Simmons may recommend chiropractic care, spinal decompression or auto accident care, and he enjoys working with athletes and active people of all ages through athlete care. To get here, take US-31 to AL-251 northeast out of Athens, turn right on Harvest Rd and head east to Highway 53 (Jordan Ln NW). The office is at 5850 Highway 53, Suite N at Jeff Rd NW, about 17.7 miles and 30 minutes from downtown. Call (256) 852-2000 with any questions.
Proudly serving: Courthouse Square (downtown Athens), Robert Beaty Historic District, George S. Houston Historic District, Canebrake, Watercress, Hawk's Landing.
Local, trusted care
Why Athens residents consider HealthSource of Harvest
Athens is one of Alabama's oldest incorporated cities, and its days are full. Many people here spend the workday on their feet or at a desk at places like Athens-Limestone Hospital, Athens City Schools and Athens State University, while others head out on I-65, US-31 or US-72 to countywide employers such as Mazda Toyota Manufacturing, Polaris and TVA's Browns Ferry Nuclear Plant on Wheeler Lake. Free time brings its own wear and tear, from laps on the Swan Creek Greenway and ball games at the Athens Sportsplex to a round at the private Canebrake Club or a long day on your feet at the Tennessee Valley Old Time Fiddlers Convention each fall.
Whether your week is spent at Athens-Limestone Hospital, in a classroom or on a plant floor out in the county, Dr. Travis Simmons, DC, offers natural, non-surgical care backed by post-graduate training in dysfunctional movement patterns, nerve dysfunction and neuropathy, circulation improvement, and the care of motor-vehicle-accident patients. He also enjoys working with active people, from Sportsplex ballplayers to Swan Creek Greenway walkers. The office is about 17.7 miles from downtown Athens, roughly 30 minutes via AL-251 and Harvest Rd, with weekday hours listed in the FAQ below.
What we help with
Common reasons Athens residents seek care
Low back pain from long shifts
Hours on your feet at Athens-Limestone Hospital or long days at a classroom or campus desk can leave the low back stiff by the end of the week.
Learn more →Neck tension from the I-65 and US-72 drive
Commuting on I-65, US-31 or US-72 keeps your neck and shoulders braced behind the wheel for long stretches at a time.
Learn more →Whiplash after a crash on US-72 or AL-251
Even a low-speed rear-end collision on a busy road like US-72 or AL-251 can strain the neck, so it is worth having it checked.
Learn more →Plant-floor and warehouse strain
Repetitive lifting, reaching and standing on plant floors and in warehouses around Limestone County can add up to aches in the back, shoulders and wrists.
Learn more →Heel pain on the Swan Creek Greenway
Walking or running the 2.3-mile Swan Creek Greenway is a great habit, but repeated miles can irritate the heel and arch.
Learn more →Golf and ballfield shoulder strain
Swings on the Canebrake Club course and throws on the Athens Sportsplex baseball and softball fields can wear on the shoulder over a season.
