Meet the Chiropractors


  • Dr.
    Rod Sones
    Chiropractic Physician/Owner

    Dr. Sones is a Louisiana native who grew up in the small town of Jonesville, LA. He completed his undergraduate degree at Northwestern State University from 2004-2008 where he earned a B.S. in Exercise Science. He then attended Parker University in Dallas, TX from 2008-2012 where he earned his Doctorate of Chiropractic along with a B.S. in Human Anatomy and a B.S. in Health and Wellness. While attending Parker University, Dr. Sones was chosen for an internship in Bogota, Colombia where he worked with the Colombian Olympic and Para-Olympic athletes.

    After graduation, Dr. Sones and his wife, Amber, moved to New Orleans, LA where he joined the American Back Institute team. There he was part of a multi-disciplinary facility that worked with athletes from local high schools, universities, and professional sports teams.

    In October of 2014, Dr. Sones and his wife decided to move to her hometown of Birmingham, where he opened his current practice, ProHealth Hoover Chiropractic and Rehab.

    Dr. Sones has dedicated himself to learning the best techniques to treat and prevent injuries both swiftly and effectively, therefore shortening recovery time, and preventing future setbacks. He looks at the principals of biomechanics in developing an effective treatment plan based on the patients’ individual needs to help keep them active and pain-free in their everyday activities. He has been trained in many musculoskeletal techniques including, but not limited to, Active Release Technique, Graston soft tissue therapy, Kinesio Taping and non-surgical spinal decompression. Dr. Sones is a member of the American Chiropractic Association, Alabama State Chiropractic Association, Jefferson County Chiropractic Association, Hoover Chamber of Commerce and is on the Governmental Affairs Committee for the Alabama State Chiropractic Association.

    Dr. Sones’ love of sports carries over into his practice. He enjoys working with athletes of all ages and skill levels to treat and help prevent common sports injuries. He likes to spend his time teaching and educating not only patients, but also parents and young athletes about the importance of proper biomechanics and the prevention of injuries.

  • Dr. Ted Dower
    Chiropractic Physician

    Dr. Ted Dower grew up in central Kansas with a passion for athletics. He went to Sterling College to play basketball and soccer and earned a B.S. in Exercise Science. He then moved to Birmingham, AL, with his wife, Sarah, and worked in fitness for a while but in search of stability, ended up working in a sales and support role for an IT company for three and a half years. Though he had a bright future in that field, he always wondered how he could get back to working in something he was more passionate about, health and wellness. In the spring of 2019, his wife discovered the solution for him when she encouraged him to pursue his doctorate in chiropractic, and he ultimately made the decision to go and obtain that degree at Life University in Marietta, GA.

    He would go on to graduate Magna Cum Laude from Life University’s College of Chiropractic in September 2022. During his time at Life University, Ted found his niche in the Motion Palpation Institute and Sports Chiropractic clubs and spent time in leadership with both those organizations, constantly learning and helping train other students to carefully assess their patients, discover what treatment might be effective, and how to ultimately utilize a broad understanding of the human body to treat and manage musculoskeletal complaints conservatively.  

    On top of his national board exams for his degree, he has also sat for exams with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA) to receive his Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification and from Functional and Kinetic Treatment with Rehab (FAKTR) to become a certified provider. He has also studied Dynamic Neuromuscular Stabilization (DNS) to utilize the principles of developmental kinesiology to assess and treat his patients as well. Dr. Dower loves learning, and he hopes to use his understanding of how to help the body perform optimally to get people thriving such that their health never holds them back from being excellent at whatever they set their minds to. 

    In Dr. Dower's spare time, he loves serving in his church, spending time with his family, coaching his sons’ sports teams, and lifting weights.

    He loves serving Hoover, Alabama, and is excited to continue to grow with ProHealth Hoover.
