The moment you walk into Movement Chiropractic & Sports Clinic, it’s apparent that Dr. Drew Hunt gets the details right. From his approach to personalized, clinically proven therapies to the pristine new clinic featuring custom murals and local art, Hunt is set on providing a premier experience for Boone County. He is passionate about offering more to help others in pain.
Located on Michigan Road at 120th Street, Movement Chiropractic & Sports Clinic is equipped to be a one-stop shop for fully integrated care, offering chiropractic, dry needling, soft tissue and red light therapies. The clinic also features a full recovery suite with an infrared sauna, cold plunge and compression therapy, as well as an open rehab area with a rubberized floor and plenty of equipment to educate patients on proper form and strengthening techniques.
Hunt’s 10-plus years of experience have allowed him to curate his unique treatment model. “My goal is to relieve pain using comprehensive, clinically proven and cutting-edge treatment protocols that incorporate different strategies and techniques based on the individual,” Hunt said. “While sometimes a chiropractic adjustment makes sense, many patients can also benefit from soft tissue mobilization, dry needling, or even Kinesio tape to help them move and feel better. My mission is to focus on eliminating the cause of pain rather than covering up symptoms.”
With a variety of certifications in advanced techniques such as NASM Exercise Specialist, Graston, SFMA, DNS and ART, Hunt is able to find the right treatment for each patient’s specific ailment. By prioritizing functional movements, he can effectively enhance the patient’s overall well-being by preventing future pain and injury. Through education, Hunt empowers his patients to live pain-free.
Top-Five Treatments:
We asked Hunt for the top-five complaints patients usually have, and how he may treat those patients using all the tools and techniques he’s trained in. While every patient and every circumstance is different, here’s the list:
Injuries: Hunt specializes in treating injuries like sprains, strains, movement restrictions and muscle spasms. “People come to me with 10 out of 10 pain, and we figure out how to move forward,” he said. “That first treatment is about getting you back on your feet and will likely look much different than the follow-up, where we will work on addressing the root cause.” Active Release Techniques (ART) and Graston therapy are often key components of his approach to injuries. ART focuses on releasing muscle tension and improving mobility, while Graston therapy uses specialized tools to break up scar tissue and promote healing. Eventually injuries are treated in the rehab area for education on strengthening affected areas and preventing re-injury. “Every injury is unique, and I work closely with my patients to create a plan that ensures recovery long-term,” Hunt said.
Headaches: Chronic headaches are a common complaint that Hunt addresses through chiropractic adjustments and red-light therapy. “Tension headaches often stem from neck misalignment, whether that’s caused by sitting at a desk all day or something as simple as how you sleep,” he noted. By realigning the spine and improving neck posture, chiropractic adjustments alleviate tension and restore balance. Red-light therapy enhances this process by reducing inflammation and promoting circulation. Hunt also provides guidance on stress management and ergonomics. “My goal is to help patients not just find relief, but also understand how to prevent recurring headaches, and we can do that through education,” he said.
TMJ Disorders: Temporomandibular joint (TMJ) disorders can cause pain and stiffness in the jaw, headaches, and even ear discomfort. “The jaw is often overlooked, but it’s a critical part of overall health,” said Hunt. He uses dry needling to release tension in jaw muscles and soft-tissue massage to promote relaxation and blood flow. Complementary exercises improve jaw alignment and strength. “Patients often find relief within a few sessions, and we work together to prevent the issue from returning,” Hunt said.
Sciatica: Sciatica pain, radiating down the leg, is often caused by spinal or nerve impingements, but that is not the only cause. Hunt uses compression boots to reduce swelling and improve circulation in and around the affected areas. “The combination of chiropractic adjustments and targeted therapies provides both immediate relief and long-term stability,” Hunt said. For sciatica, dry needling trigger points in the lower back, glutes and hips can often provide instant relief and improve range of motion. Finally, strengthening the core and lower back through specific rehab exercises is also essential. “Helping patients regain mobility and live without pain is incredibly rewarding,” Hunt said.
Maintenance and Recovery/Performance: Whether you’re an avid athlete (yes, golf and pickleball count!), a distance runner, or just someone who likes to stay active and out of pain, routine treatment can keep you feeling your best. Regular chiropractic adjustments, infrared sauna sessions, cold-plunge therapy and personalized rehab are a great fit. “Recovery is just as important as training for optimal performance,” Hunt said. Cold-plunge therapy reduces inflammation, while adjustments improve mobility and alignment to stimulate the central nervous system. Infrared sauna sessions enhance relaxation, improve circulation and aid in detoxification by promoting sweating to release toxins. Rehab exercises address muscle imbalances and enhance flexibility. “Regardless of your level of activity, I tailor my approach to your goals and have all the tools you’ll need to feel better and move better,” Hunt said.
Movement is Medicine
“The name of the office is Movement, and the idea is that movement is medicine,” Hunt said. He believes that the ability to move is essential for optimal health, regardless of age or impairment. “People that move well can be well, and that’s really what it’s all about,” he added. “I never want to stop thinking of what else I can add to aid in a patient’s recovery.”
Hunt is passionate about providing fully personalized, comprehensive and effective health solutions to Boone County. “I chose Zionsville because it’s clear the population has a similar mindset – a desire to stay active and healthy,” he said. “The area is booming in a really positive way with growth that feels very organic, but there aren’t many practices in the area providing care in the same manner as I aspire to.” That all changed in December of 2024 when Hunt opened his new, innovative clinic with the goal of keeping Boone County moving.
Whether you’re dealing with persistent pain or simply looking to stay active and healthy, Movement Chiropractic & Sports Clinic offers a comprehensive, compassionate and innovative path to wellness.
“Your journey to feeling your best starts here, and I’m excited to help,” Hunt said.
