What to Expect
The New Patient Experience at Thrive
The New Patient Experience includes a detailed consultation, comprehensive examination, digital postural analysis, computerized foot scan, and personalized recommendations from Dr. Hunt. This unrushed visit lets us identify the underlying factors contributing to your condition and create a customized plan focused on achieving your goals. When appropriate, treatment will begin the same day — so you leave with answers, a clear direction, and a plan built around results, not insurance restrictions.
Advanced, Non-Invasive Therapies
We deliver Class IV Laser Therapy, manual Flexion and Distraction decompression, advanced manual therapy and therapeutic stretching under one roof.
Outcomes Built Around You
Your plan is shaped by the outcome you came in for, which is adjusted as your results progress.
The Thrive Difference
Why Patients Call This a Different Chiropractic Experience
“My motto is a different chiropractic experience, because patients deserve more than a 10-minute rushed appointment and restricted, insurance-driven care. They deserve the time, attention, and advanced treatment necessary to achieve the best possible outcomes.”
Dr. David Hunt, DC

Advanced Care
Advanced Therapies That Power Your Plan
Your plan is delivered with advanced, non-invasive therapies that work together. Each one is selected and adjusted by Dr. Hunt based on what your body is responding to weekly.
Class IV Laser Therapy
Class IV Laser Therapy uses advanced light energy to reduce inflammation, support tissue healing and accelerate recovery at a cellular level. It is non-invasive and drug-free, and it pairs well with adjustments during your visit.
Manual Spinal Decompression
Decompression at Thrive is doctor-directed using the Flexion and Distraction technique. This hands-on approach gives precise control over the segment being treated, which is why the outcomes are more consistent.
Custom Digital Orthotics
Custom digital orthotics are scanned, designed and fitted in-clinic to address the foot mechanics that quietly drive back, hip and knee complaints. They are built around your gait and your posture so they fit your mechanics from day one.
Advanced Manual Therapy and Therapeutic Stretching
Advanced manual therapy and therapeutic stretching prepare the soft tissue around a region before the adjustment and reinforce the work afterward. The result is a longer-lasting change you can feel between visits.
Move Better. Feel Better. Live Better.
Care Designed Around Your Outcome, Not an Insurance Code
Concierge-style care with early morning, late evening and weekend availability. Specialized in acute and chronic pain management, sports injuries, neuropathies, and wellness care. Built for people who want real change and are tired of the traditional chiropractic approach.

Meet Your Doctor
Dr. David Hunt, DC
Dr. David Hunt is a Weddington native who returned home in 2023 to build the practice he wished his community had access to. He works with individuals, athletes and families to support long-term health, performance and resilience, with an emphasis on complex cases that have not responded to standard approaches.
His clinical focus brings together chiropractic adjustments, advanced laser therapy, manual decompression, custom orthotics and targeted manual therapy. The throughline across all of it is time with the patient. Visits are unhurried and plans are personalized. Recovery is treated as a collaborative process from the first appointment forward.
“I wanted to build a practice where patients felt seen, where appointments had room to breathe and where the plan was actually theirs.”
