Ethan Jones, DC
Dr. Ethan Jones was born and raised in Yancey County. At the age of 15 he received his first chiropractic adjustment for a subluxated rib that was impacting his ability to breathe while running. After experiencing the major difference that seeing a chiropractor made in his life, he knew that he wanted to become a chiropractor as well so that he could help others in his community through chiropractic care. From that point on he dedicated himself to becoming the best chiropractor that he could be so he could return home and help those in his community.
He received a Bachelor of Science degree in Health and Wellness Promotion from the University of North Carolina Asheville in 2022. While pursuing his undergraduate degree he also received training as a clinical massage therapist from Asheville-Buncombe Technical Community College to gain a better understanding of the human body. He went on to attend the Sherman College of Chiropractic in Spartanburg, South Carolina, and received his Doctor of Chiropractic degree in 2026. He loves working with individuals of all ages, but has a particular passion for helping young families. This led him to take additional courses in regards to the care of pediatric, pregnant, and postpartum patients. In particular, he has received training in the Webster Technique which focuses on the specialized care of pregnant patients.
Dr. Ethan has now returned home and is ecstatic to provide care to his mountain community. In his free time he enjoys spending time with his family, fly fishing, swimming, hiking, reading, and playing games with friends.
