My story is very long and complicated, but I wont bore you with it. In short, I have been put back together like Humpty Dumpty with titanium plates, rods, and screws due to a "I should NOT be here" car accident. I have severe myofascial pain and extensive soft tissue injuries. Regular physicians do not deal with or help you with these problems, "you just have to live with it!" Well, I knew I could be helped and I had to find the right person for my unique situation. Fortunately, after much research, I found Dr. Jason Hulme and the Active Spine and Joint Center. He is educated and knowledgeable in the field of kinesiology and anatomy far more than the over 20 physicians/surgeons, and PTs, therapists, chiropractors, etc.... I have dealt with the past 3 years. I am a chronic pain patient(who does not want to be) and my journey with Dr. Hulme will be long and hard(im @ month 6). However, I see a light at the end of this journey which gives me hope to get back to best me I can be now. So, if Dr. Hulme can take probably one of his hardest cases and give me relief, strength, hope, and smiles then he can help Anyone, no matter what the issue. He utilizes a wealth of therapies to organize a treatment protocol signature to you. I drive from Nashville(which I hate the interstate!!) 2-3 xs a week and look forward to it every week. Dr. Jason is my guy! He is passionate, excited, dedicated, listens and explains everything perfectly(I ask lots of ?s). He and the staff are WONDERFUL, CARING, FLEXIBLE, and HELPFUL. I have told my pain management physician all about him and he is totally on board as well as my Chest Reconstruction Surgeon, my Internist, and Neurosurgeon. Concerning my complicated problems, I have fortunately found exactly what I need to have a life again. For 2 years, I was told to take narcotics, a TENS unit would be my best friend, need to apply for Disability and Live With It because I should just be happy I am alive. Dr. Hulme understands I am happy I survived my accident and that I want to participate in life not sit on the couch pumped up on pain meds w/an epidural here and there and watch life go on without me. I cant express the gratitude I feel for finding Dr. Hulme, working with him, learning from him, and improving because of him. As well as Cassie, Allison, and Dr. Riley. One of the best in the country is right here in Hendersonville, TN. I LUV Active Spine and Joint Center........(sorry so long, tells you how integral Dr. Hulme is in my lifes journey).

There has been a history of hunchback in my family, and I have had poor posture most of my life. Although I havent had a lot of pain, Im only 25, I have noticed my posture getting worse and worse and my chin was beginning to jut out of place also. I talked to Dr. Hulme right when he was opening his practice and he confidently said that If I came in he could take preventitive measures to make sure I didnt end up with the hunchback that my grandmother did. I came in and got screened, he identified several areas that needed improvement, and we started treatment. I would like to report my sincere astonishment at the effects that followed. Im standing straighter, I am LITERALLY using muscles that I had never used before. Sounds cliche, I realize, but its the truth. The first time I did a particular exercise he asked me to, i was blown away by the feeling. It felt like I was growing a new pair of hands back there or something. I was, like I said, astonished. I get super excited about doing my treatment now because the results seem so tangible. And I think that is half the battle of any treatment, is getting the patient to feel and expect results. And I the patient, have felt and do anticipate results. To top it all off, Dr. Hulme gave me a couple tips to do and use, he started a little treatment, and I have seen major results in the indigestion and chest pains that I have dealt with all my life and seen several doctors over, none of whom could really tell me anything beneficial. Dr. Hulme was very thorough, a good communicator, and overall made the impression on me that he was a very good doctor who has gone above and beyond anything I even knew to expect. To say I am satisfied and will refer people to him would be an understatement.

I have been seeing Dr. Jason for a couple years now. I came in with more mechanical problems than most and I was ignorant of most of them. I had made significant lifestyle changes that brought all these problems to the surface and was at my wits end. I took up running and loved it so but being ignorant of what to expect when I encountered injury after injury and no real guidance, I was like a person fumbling in a dark room filled with furniture, trying to get out. I started going to Active Spine and Joint and I began to have hope that things could be better, that pain was not an absolute. Jason views each patient like a person but also like a puzzle and he delves in not only to understand and treat but to also help the patient understand as well. Then he comes up with a strategy and the two of you become a team to resolve the issues. To me he seems quite uncommon in this region with his knowledge of technology and things I cannot say I have heard from other chiropractors around. As awesome as all that is, that is only part of what makes the office great. When you are a person receiving services, it cannot be overstated how important 1st impressions are when you enter a place of business. I am greeted and made to feel as a friend who happens to be a patient. The warmth and pleasant atmosphere is obvious. Their responsiveness to my scheduling needs and sometimes unavoidable schedule changes is wonderful. When you are a professional who knows your stuff, becoming arrogant is sometimes an unfortunate consequence. I can say that that is not the case with Dr. Jason and it is for the reason that he is as smart as a whip and is also great to work with and know that I have recommended him to many and will continue to do so

From the moment you walk in, you know this is a different kind of practice - Cassies smiling face, vibrant music and even a breath mint or bottle of water if you want one. I had been to 4 different orthopedic doctors in the last 10 years for my low back tightness and pain, and all pretty much said the same thing - my L4/L5 disc was thinning and it was typical of getting old. Well, Im 45 and too young to get cut on so enter Dr. Jason. I told him all I wanted to do was be able to play pain free golf. He evaluated me and basically found out, my pain wasnt due to any herniation or bulging disc, rather, it was a "mechanical pain" being caused by muscle issues. We began treatments and within a few visits, I found my back loose, my golf swing pain free and I was amazed at the feeling as I had forgot how a normal back should feel. Dr. Jason is not your typical chiropractor - where others just crack your back for temporary relief, Dr. Jason actually works to heal you and gives you exercises to do yourself so that you dont have to see him anymore. Imagine that, a doctor that just wants to help you rather than hang on to you. A refreshing change in todays culture. Thank you Dr. Jason and Cassie - youre awesome!!!! I want to come see you but I dont need to!!! :)
