Pillar Chiropractic and Rehab

In the spring of 2023, Dr. Brad Russell and Dr. Rod Sones began the process of bringing together their practices, Hug Chiropractic Clinic and ProHealth Hoover Chiropractic and Rehab, under the name, Pillar Chiropractic and Rehab. Now complete, this merger unites more than 60 years of combined experience in delivering exceptional, evidence-based, non-invasive care to Greater Birmingham communities. More importantly, it represents our commitment to the highest standards of chiropractic medicine and allows us to extend our practice under this philosophy into other communities. Pillar Chiropractic’s co-founder, Dr. Brad Russell, is proud to expand on the legacy of Dr. Reg Hug (Hug Chiropractic Clinic) – a practice trusted by patients, other healthcare providers, and insurers alike – by providing consistent, conservative chiropractic care to a wider range of patients.

Pillar is a chiropractic and rehab practice that strictly focuses on the management of neuro-musculo-skeletal (NMS) based conditions, that is problems related to bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves. Pillar helps patients chart a treatment path toward pain relief that starts with the most conservative treatment methodologies so that they can feel confident about both chiropractic and their options for successful outcomes. Pillar Chiropractic and Rehab uses scientific evidence, the knowledge and experience of our physicians, and the needs of our patients to determine the best plan of care. “We see each location, as a pillar based on a foundation of evidence-informed care,” said Dr. Rod Sones, Pillar Chiropractic’s co-founder. “By practicing a higher level of conservative care, we are promoting and rebuilding the chiropractic tradition.”

Four Pillar locations are conveniently located throughout the Greater Birmingham area. Brad Russell, DC, FICC, Erika Carter, DC, Lake Franklin, DC. practice in the Vestavia/Cahaba Heights location, Rod Sones, DC, Ted Dower DC practice in the Hoover location, Bill Elliott DC practices in the Clay Chalkville location, and Loran Meadows, DC practices in the Gardendale facility. The group has plans to expand into additional communities as early as January 2024.
