Dr. John is very kind, and an amazing human being. he takes the time to really understands you. He's HONEST. He's not going to tell his patients they need 20+ sessions in order to get better. I was referred to him because my OBGYN sent me when I was pregnant, and I've have been his client ever since. He even helped me with my colicky baby (for free). You won't regret it. You will love his energy.

Dr. John and team are where it's at. He always puts my head back on straight...literally. If it weren't for him I don't think I would be up right most days. He always fits me in, even if I do not have an appointment...and is also understanding with my incredibly hectic schedule. Also Abi, masseuse, is incredible. This place is the best Chiropractic Services and Massage Services in Knoxville. Don't sleep on this spot.

Dr. John is the man! After my first visit 5 months ago, I was blown away by his kindness. Dr. John takes the time to explain what is going on. He explains in detail what is out of place, and how he is going to fix it. I will always use, and recommend Sport and Wellness.

Massage with Shannon or Abi-both are talented and very knowledgeable in body mechanics. Prices are reasonable. Appointments easy to make. Give them a try and you won’t regret.

I have not used the chiropractic services at this location but I have used their massage therapist, Shannon. I had previously used Shannon at her prior location and followed her to Sport and Wellness Chiropractic. I 100% recommend her if you are looking for a massage therapist.

Walked in here about a month and half ago not being able to walk or sit comfortably because of my back and SI joint and 3 sessions later I just finished a 14 mile hike in the smokies. Would have never expected that if you asked me if I could do that a month ago. Best thing about DR John is you can tell he does not try to sell you products or prolong the amount of sessions you need with him. HIs goal is get you back to 100% in the least amount of session possible. Highly recommend and would return

Dr. John is phenomenal! He takes the time to listen to your needs and help resolve any problems, as well as educates you. I always leave feeling great after my appointment! Would highly recommend!!

He fixes all the things! I've been to him after doing dumb things in sports and during pregnancy. The relief is instant, and it typically only takes a day or two to feel fully healed after he gets everything aligned properly. He always explains what he's doing. He's easy to talk to. Very supportive of my goals. His pricing is reasonable, and he encourages more of an as needed scheduling than weekly appointments that strain the budget.

If you have ever gone to a "spine salesman" before, you will recognize Dr. John for what he is: he is about getting you on your feet and staying there - not about getting you on a lengthy contract. I would not hesitate to recommend his practice - and will continue to do so! Thanks Dr. John!

I have been seeing Dr. John for over 6 years. He is a fantastic chiropractic doctor. His office has free parking and easy access. Dr. John abids by covid regulations and requires mask for in office visits. Office visits are pre scheduled online via the website. You will be seen on time and there is no waiting required. If you have a appointment at 9:30 you will be seen at 9:30. Dr. John is a very kind and listens to the patient. Adjustments take 10-15 minutes. First time visitors visit time is longer. Dr John at this time doesn't accept insurance.

The absolute best in Knoxville. Dr. John is actually concerned with solving the problem for the long-term not just repeated visits. I would recommend him to anybody.

So, here's the thing: He's on time, a 11:15 appointment, starts at 11:15 there is no waiting. He's very thorough, listens to what's bothering you, is as inexpensive as you'll find, AND you feel so much better after a visit. I've been to a number of chiropractors, none have been as successful as Dr. John helping me with my back/hips/neck issues, and every one of them charged more than Dr. John does. The fact he charges less allows me to go more often for the same expenditure. More visits mean I'm aligned more regularly and feel better.No long term commitments for appointments. Want to go every six months, great, how about every week, that works too. I've been several places where they set up a "twice a week for four weeks" routine, and I can't afford to buy groceries when I'm done. Not with Dr John, whatever works for you is the course of treatment he'll follow.Here's an example - "My knee has been giving me some problems" "Let's take a look". He treats it, provides feedback as to what's going on. No additional appointment, no guesswork, always a recommendation on what you can do at home to help improve the condition. The improved condition of the knee is one thing, the peace of mind it brings to find out it's not serious, is equally as valuable.If you're unhappy with the results you're getting from your chiropractor, give him a try. He's the best I've found.

Dr. John was so kind and courteous! He actually listened to me and got a general understanding within the first 10 minutes. I left feeling relaxed and and with a piece of mind. I will definitely recommend to anyone with neck or back pain.

There’s no lie that my body is wrecked from Military service to powerlifting but for the first time in over 1 year I am able to sit cross legged on the floor without any pain. I’m so happy to have found this office, Molly and Dr. John are miracle workers and are worth EVERY penny times 100. Thank you for being amazing!

When my pain was getting more worst...I started to search online for a best Chiropractor in West Knoxville...immediately it came up one of the most highly rated Doctor, it was Sports and Wellness Chiropractic, dr. John's office...so I decided to visit his Website. After reading all his 5-star reviews...I was so impressed how many good things people say about him. So I decided to schedule my first appointment with Dr. John...for real he is so amazing and affable! One of the best Chiropractor Physician I ever met in Knoxville TN! I have not enough words to express my gratitude for his outstanding treatment and care that I have experienced at his Chiropractic Office! He's very honest and compassionate,very knowledgeable and professional...his office is so beautiful and the price rates are very affordable. I had a severe lower back and tailbone pain for very long time...the other Chiropractors I went to before, failed to help me with this pain...but Dr. John figured out my treatment plan on my first visit with him. Right after my first and second adjustment and therapy, I started to see great positive results...my pain started to disappear. He listens to his patients very attentive...and cares a lot about their well-being! Also I like a lot his holistic treatment. He does more than I expected, he goes above and beyond to ensure his patients health. I even didn't finish all my treatment yet...and I feel fantastic. My body mobility and flexibility improved a lot, I feel more energetic than ever... after all the treatment Dr. John performed on me. Dr. John became my favorite Chiropractic doctor! I highly recommend Dr. John to anyone who needs Chiropractic care, he's the solution of your pain...you'll never regret for going to him! I definitely will go back to him again...if I'll need it. Again a BIG THANK YOU to you Dr. John for your excellent job and care!!!

I had been to Dr. John for a few years and moved a bit further away. I decided to do physical therapy instead and although physical therapy is great, it was not working well enough for me. After a month of PT- I could barely hold my baby I knew I had to go back.
Dr. John is amazing. No packages, no mandatory x rays, no fluff- you just go in there and get fixed!
Thanks John!

When I was looking for a chiropractor in Knoxville I decided to visit Dr. John purely based on the multiple 5star Yelp reviews. His service exceeded them all!!! Dr. John is very knowledgeable, diligent and honest. He is definitely a result oriented chiropractor.

After many years and even more dollars spent trying to get go the root of my headache issues, Dr. John has ridded me of headaches almost completely. Best chiropractor on the face of the planet, I'm certain!

Two years ago, I went to Dr Dandelski for hip pain. I was headed out to do a Rim to Rim hike of the Grand Canyon and 3 weeks before the hike, I couldn't walk down the stairs in my house! This was my first experience with a chiropractor. Dr Dandelski realigned my spine and pelvis over a few weeks and I hiked the Canyon pain free. This year, I was experiencing shoulder pain and after realigning my neck, I was once again pain free. I can't recommend him highly enough.

I've been to a number of chiropractors over the years but Dr. John is by far my favorite for a few reasons including:1) Appointments are on time - practically no waiting!2) He takes ample time to really understand and investigate what's going on and explain his plan for helping you.3) He's willing to go above and beyond to make sure you are well cared for. I can tell he takes his patient's success seriously - he follows up on things personally to ensure you are experiencing the improvement you are looking for.4) It's easy to schedule appointments online. You can see what time slots are open and what is not and schedule.5) Dr John's care has resulted in relief from migraine headaches for the first time in years. I'm incredibly thankful for this!

After suffering with a migraine over a week. I was able to see Dr. John. After two visits i have a lot less pain on my neck and back. Plus i can actually turn my head...migraine was gone after first visit..

Dr. John Dandelski has been a godsend for me. I have a significant case of scoliosis that causes pain to flare up (in my head, back, neck, and sciatic nerve) from time to time. I always leave Dr. John's office feeling better. One of the best things about Dr. John is that while he advises patients on how to best maintain their orthopedic health, he doesn't use the "hard sell" tactics of some other practitioners. I'd recommend Dr. John to anyone suffering from orthopedic pain--whether that person is an athlete or not.

Dr. John is the best! He was the first chiropractor that I had ever visited. He helped me tremendously with the pain I had in my neck and back. I was apprehensive about chiropractic care, but he helped me understand it better and showed me how much it can help with pain. I recently moved and I am now further away from his office, but it is worth the drive. I had called my insurance to ask about if they would pay for out network coverage at his office since he has started accepting insurance. They told me that there was another chiropractor five minutes from me that was in-network with them and recommended I try them. I had never tried another chiropractor before. I had been pleased with Dr. John and had great results, but now he was almost 50 minutes away. I decided that even though I was pleased with Dr. John I would try a chiropractor that was closer to me and that was in-network with my insurance since I have met my out of pocket maximum for the year already and all of my visits would be free for the rest of the year. After one visit to the other chiropractor that was closer to me I realize even more now how great of a chiropractor Dr. John is. The other chiropractor refused to adjust me without x-rays. Dr. John has never needed them and can adjust me fine without them. The other chiropractor told me that I would have to pay over $1500 up front (even with insurance) for him to continue to treat me. He said I would need 28 treatments and all of these extra therapies. Dr. John has NEVER asked me for money upfront or told me that I would have to commit to a certain amount of treatments. While I was at the other chiropractor's office I saw him treat about 15 people in 2 hours! He literally spent about 45 seconds to one minute with each person. Dr John spends 15 minutes with you. I always feel like Dr. John gives me his undivided attention and addresses all of my issues each visit. Dr. John is the only chiropractor I will see from now on. I will drive 50 minutes and pay $45 to see him even though I can drive 5 minutes and see another chiropractor. If you are looking for a chiropractor that listens to you and cares about your health and well being Dr. John is the one to see.

I just started seeing Dr. Dandelski for neck pain and in just a few appointments I am feeling so much better. Dr. Dandelski is always on time for his appointments and it is easy to fit appointments into my schedule because I never have to wait which I really appreciate. Dr. Dandelski is great about explaining what adjustments he's going to do and why, so you're never surprised by a sudden adjustment. If you are in need of chiropractic care I highly recommend him.

After nearly a year of physical therapy and chiropractic for a shoulder injury, I went to Dr. John. He fixed my shoulder in the first session! The injury I thought I'd need surgery for was gone in less than 5 minutes. I was back to swimming that same week. Thanks Dr. John!

I'm an active runner who has suffered from several issues for years; everything from Iliotibial Band Syndrome (ITBS) to stress fractures and other pain associated with the wear and tear on my body caused by running. I have been under the excellent care of Dr. John Dandelski of Sport & Wellness Chiropractic for almost two years now and he has literally changed my life.I cannot say enough great things about him, but on my initial visit, he told me that he would be able to provide relief for the pain I was experiencing and make me a faster runner...on both accounts, he has helped relive the pain and helped me to become a faster runner, which I actually finished first place in a local 5k in 2014.I have sent many of my friends to Dr. Dandelski, all whom have shared similar experiences. Do yourself a favor and schedule an appointment with Dr. John Dandelski today…

My treatment with Dr. John has freed me from muscle relaxers and the regular use of a traction device. My neck feels better than it has felt since my neck injury 15 years ago! I've been to quite a few chiropractors and physical therapists (and even had some consults with some scary military neurosurgeons). None of them produced the results that Dr. John has!

Dr. John is awesome! I saw him while undergoing treatment for Hodgkin's Lymphoma and now, after, for maintenance visits.while in treatment, having chiropractic adjustment helped ease some fatigue and Dr. John was able to recommend a support pillow that I still usrusr. I don't have any long term injuries or significant issues but I certainly benefit from a once monthly adjustment to help with spinal alignment and I generally feel better after leaving his office. His schedule is really open and helpful in accommodating those 8-5 workers like myself. I would recommend his services to anyone, even of they don't have long term issues or sports related issues because the process of being adjusted helps me be more aware of my body and when something is out of whack, now I can usually tell and know when to call him for a maintenance visit!

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. John. He is the first doctor I have seen that actually makes sense! He is professional, patient, friendly, and most importantly, quite passionate about relieving pain and enhancing well-being/performance. He provides a comprehensive assessment of your current state, explaining thoroughly as he goes, then develops a treatment plan with the sincere goal of helping you long-term. It is so refreshing to not feel like you are just being given a quick fix to get you out the door! I love that he even gives homework (stretches/exercises) to expedite recovery. I experienced drastic pain reduction after the first few visits, and have been steadily seeing improvements in areas I had not even noticed were really a problem before (e.g. sleep quality, posture). I now just notice how great I feel! Go see Dr. John – what do you have to lose?

I reccomend Dr. John to anyone especially strength athletes that are looking to perform or train at the highest level. He fixes problems not symptoms, what he did with my wrecked shoulder is amazing. I wish I had seen him 6 months earlier.

Dr. John is great! He's attentive and very welcoming. He's very professional and cares about your well being more than your money. I started visiting him based on a recommendation and would happily pass that recommendation on to anyone experiencing any level of discomfort. Plus, you can book online!

I'm an active person and recreational triathlete who's suffered from hip pain and ankle issues for years, which ultimately culminated in a torn tendon in my right ankle in early 2010. My podiatrist put me in a boot for three months--after taking four months to diagnose the problem!For five months after getting out of the boot, I had constant issues trying to return to running. I tried the gradual "return to running" program my podiatrist recommended and still ended up injured. Finally, I consulted with Dr. John Dandelski of Sport & Wellness Chiropractic and he literally changed my life.I'd gotten to the point where I questioned whether I'd ever be able to run again, let alone enter another triathlon--really depressing since it was such an important part of my life (for the previous 5 years I'd raced at least a half Ironman or Ironman every year as well as a couple marathons). Dr. John has an extremities specialization--one of the few chiropractors in the region who has it--and was able to show me exactly what was wrong with my foot structure that set me up for the torn tendon--and how much worse it could get if I didn't take preventative measures (why didn't my highly regarded sports podiatrist in DC explain any of this? Or the podiatrist I went to for a second opinion?). In addition to a full exam and adjustments, he fit me with custom orthotics and gave me a serious of exercises to help address the root of my issue with my ankle as well as my "lazy glute" (a common ailment among us desk workers, I've realized after some googling) to treat my issues at the core rather than just treat the pain.Dr. John is by far the most knowledgeable and thorough of any chiropractor, physical therapist, orthopedist, or doctor of any sort I've been to. He's like a chiropractic detective who doesn't rest until he figures out the root of your problem, looking for clues in seemingly unrelated symptoms, accidents, or injuries I may have sustained even years earlier.And as for racing--I just finished my first half marathon in years and am looking forward to another season of triathlons. I'd recommend Dr. John without hesitation.
