Chiropractor serving Athens, TX
Trusted chiropractic care for Athens
About 30 minutes (25.0 miles) from our Chandler office
Athens is the seat of Henderson County and a lakeside East Texas town built around a historic courthouse square, home to the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, the Cain Center & Park, and the shores of 1,800-acre Lake Athens. Hopson Chiropractic has served Tyler, Chandler and East Texas since 1999, and Athens patients are welcome at either of our offices — Chandler is the closer drive.
Whether it is back pain that has built up over years of work, neck pain from long hours at a screen, or sciatica that flares after a long drive, the approach is the same: a thorough exam first, a clear explanation of what we find, then a specific plan built around your goals.
From precise chiropractic adjustments and non-surgical spinal decompression to myofascial release and athlete care, Athens patients have access to everything we offer across our Chandler and Tyler offices. New patients are welcome, and our $49 new patient special covers your consultation, exam, X-rays, and first adjustment.
Proudly serving: Southwood, Oakwood, Bel Air, Safari Waters Ranch, Downtown Athens, Murchison, Brownsboro.
Local, trusted care
Why Athens chooses Hopson Chiropractic
Athens anchors Henderson County as its county seat, built around the historic courthouse square, where downtown shops and the nearby Henderson County Historical Museum bring neighbors together, with the Cain Center & Park a short drive away. Families have settled in Southwood just inside Loop 7, on the gated lakeside lots of Oakwood along 1,800-acre Lake Athens, and in quieter areas like Bel Air and the gated Safari Waters Ranch community that Hopson Chiropractic is glad to care for. Whether your week revolves around Athens ISD schools, classes at Trinity Valley Community College's main campus, a morning walk through the East Texas Arboretum, or a weekend at the Texas Freshwater Fisheries Center, our goal is simple: gentle, drug-free chiropractic care for every age, so back, neck, and joint pain stay out of your way.
Getting to us is an easy drive. Dr. Lana Hopson's Chandler office sits about 25 miles east of the Athens square on State Highway 31 — roughly a half-hour straight shot that leaves northeast Athens near Loop 7 and runs through Murchison and Brownsboro before reaching Chandler. That makes the Chandler location the closest Hopson Chiropractic office for Athens residents, whether you're driving from work near the US 175 and TX 19 corridors or heading home toward the Lake Athens side of town. From the 'Original Home of the Hamburger' to the shores of the lake, we're proud to help patients across Athens and Henderson County move and feel better.
What we help with
Common concerns we help Athens patients with
Lower-back pain
Long drives, desk work, and physical jobs all load the lumbar spine. We identify what is actually driving the pain before building a plan.
Learn more →Neck pain and tech neck
Forward-head posture from phones and screens is a common source of neck pain — a thorough exam shows how much it is contributing to yours.
Learn more →Sciatica and radiating leg pain
Chiropractic care and non-surgical spinal decompression for the deep, traveling nerve pain that makes sitting or standing miserable.
Learn more →Headaches and migraines
When the cause sits in the cervical spine, targeted chiropractic care may help — your exam will show whether that is the case for you.
Learn more →Sprains and strains
Weekend athletes, youth sports, and physical work all produce soft-tissue injuries that can benefit from focused hands-on care.
Learn more →Auto-accident injuries
Whiplash and crash-related pain often show up days later, so an early evaluation matters. Questions about coverage? Call our office and we’ll go over your options.

What our patients say
Tyler — Dr. William Hopson
“Healing hands is how I describe Hopson’s chiropractor, made me feel so much better. I been in pain for years”
“Dr. William Hopson is very personal and professional. The first session is educational and thorough and includes X-rays. I have seen several other chiropractors and have experienced several different approaches to trying to solve my lower back pain and occasional neck and shoulder pain. After the first session with Dr. Hopson, I could tell I would finally have relief from chronic nagging lower back pain. I was skeptical that the relief would last so I returned for maybe one or two more sessions and my lower back pain has not returned for several months now!! I still visit his office on the rare occasion just to assure that no pain ever returns. I wish I could leave this review on all the competitors in town to save others the expense and time in pain. I can't recommend Dr. Hopson's chiropractic services enough!!!”
Chandler — Dr. Lana Hopson
“I am completely amazed at how much Dr. Hobson has helped me. Not been to a chiropractor in over 40 years, and she is substantially better than the ones in my past. I recommend her👍”
“The staff is excellent very attentive. I know Dr. Hopson has done a great job with my particular needs.”
