Meet Dr. Mandi Wood
Since 2016, Dr. Wood has been at the helm of Heartland Chiropractic helping patients wanting to eliminate their pain, optimize their wellness potential and live a better life. We welcome every member of the Jackson community, from babies and children, to parents and grandparents. We focus on a gentle approach and feature advanced prenatal and pediatric chiropractic, as well as care for workers injured on the job.
The Appeal of Chiropractic
Dr. Wood grew up in Oran, MO. She was raised living an active lifestyle, but never experienced chiropractic care growing up. Through a series of random events, she started working for the previous chiropractor of her current office location after graduating from Southeast Missouri State University in 2011. From there, her interest in the profession expanded.
“I started getting adjusted. I was a seemingly healthy 22 year old who had no idea the change my life was about to take. In a short amount of time, I was impressed. I had torn both of my ACLs while in high school and, to my knowledge, had healed and transitioned as expected. I had no idea how much better I could feel. Due to many years of abnormal gait and dysfunction of the different muscle groups involved, my body had adapted to dysfunction I didn’t even know I had. I had no idea how getting adjusted was making such a big change. From there, I had to learn more. One thing led to another and here I am.”
Thinking Outside the Box
She received her Doctorate of Chiropractic from Logan University in Chesterfield, MO in 2015. She then came to Jackson to work for the same Chiropractor who steered her onto this career path until her retirement. Since 2016, Dr. Wood has been helping patients at Heartland Chiropractic eliminate their pain and optimize their wellness potential.
“Each patient is a puzzle to piece together which forces me to think outside the box a lot of the time.”
She’s currently a member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association, Missouri Chiropractic Association, Jackson Chamber of Commerce, and the Jackson Jaycees.

Outside the Office
When Dr. Wood isn’t busy helping patients get their lives back on track, she tries to spend a lot of time outdoors, exercising and enjoying the sun.
