Dr. Robin Barnes, DC
Dr. Robin brings precision, dedication, and a deep commitment to her hometown to every patient she serves. A proud native of Adamsville and graduate of Adamsville High School, she was both valedictorian of her class and drum major of the band—early signs of the discipline and leadership that still define her work today.
She completed her undergraduate studies at NEMCC and the University of Memphis before earning her Bachelor of Science degree through the University of New York. In 1997, she received her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Life University.
Dr. Robin specializes in chiropractic care, dry needling, trigger point therapy, myofascial release, targeted rehabilitation exercises, and nutritional support. Her approach is hands-on and intentional—focused on identifying the true source of discomfort and building lasting stability rather than chasing temporary relief.
Patients value her careful listening, clear explanations, and steady guidance through every phase of care. For Dr. Robin, it’s simple: take care of her community the way she would her own family—with skill, clarity, and heart.
Dr. Matthew Barnes, DC
Originally from North Carolina, Dr. Matt brings a strong scientific foundation and a broad clinical perspective to Barnes Family Chiropractic Center. He earned degrees in Chemistry and Biochemistry from NC State University before completing his Doctor of Chiropractic degree at Life University in 1997.
That same December, he and Dr. Robin opened Barnes Family Chiropractic Center in Adamsville with a simple mission: provide thoughtful, thorough care rooted in both science and experience.
Over the years, Dr. Matt has pursued advanced training in dry needling, traditional acupuncture, acupressure, cupping, gua sha, therapeutic laser, and functional medicine. He also specializes in interpreting lab work from a natural and herbal perspective—helping patients understand deeper patterns that may be contributing to inflammation, fatigue, pain, or chronic issues.
Patients appreciate his analytical approach, clear explanations, and willingness to look beyond the obvious. His goal is not just short-term relief, but helping patients understand their health and move forward with strength and clarity.
Dr. Katie Chandler, DC
Dr. Katie Chandler is the newest addition to Barnes Family Chiropractic Center, bringing focused precision and a heart for family care to the practice. Born in Savannah, Tennessee, she graduated from Hardin County High School before continuing her education at Mississippi State University, where she studied Animal Science.
She went on to earn her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Texas Chiropractic College in 2022. Following graduation, Dr. Katie gained clinical experience working in Texas, Arkansas, and Selmer, Tennessee before joining us here in Adamsville to serve the community that helped shape her.
Dr. Katie’s clinical focus is on chiropractic specificity, wellness care, and pediatrics. She is passionate about helping patients—especially families and children—build strong, stable foundations for lifelong health.
She lives with her daughter and an ever-changing number of horses, embracing the rural lifestyle she, like so many of us, loves.

A graduate of McNairy Central High School, Hannah was actively involved in school life as a football cheerleader, tennis player, and choir member—experiences that shaped her teamwork, discipline, and caring spirit. She went on to earn her nursing degree from Northeast Mississippi Community College in Booneville, Mississippi.
At the clinic, Hannah supports patient care with attentiveness, compassion, and professionalism. She enjoys helping patients feel comfortable and cared for while working closely with the doctors to ensure each visit runs smoothly and efficiently.
