Meet Your Franklin Chiropractor Team
Dr. Jason Crist
Doctor of Chiropractic
Dr. Jason Crist’s journey into chiropractic began as a teenager when a bodybuilding injury threatened to require back surgery. Seeking a non-invasive alternative, he discovered chiropractic care, which not only healed him completely but also ignited a lifelong passion for natural, holistic health solutions. This transformative experience led him to Northwestern College of Chiropractic, where he earned both his Bachelor of Science and Doctorate of Chiropractic.
Since graduating in 1995, Dr. Crist has called Franklin, Tennessee, home, establishing his practice in Cool Springs in 1999. His dedication to helping patients heal naturally has only deepened over the years. “It’s incredible to witness the body’s ability to heal itself,” Dr. Crist says. “Our bodies thrive with conservative care. With growing interest in avoiding drugs and surgery, combined with advanced treatment technologies, we’re achieving outstanding results and an exceptionally high patient success rate.”
Dr. Crist leads a thriving and balanced life, both professionally and personally. In 2011, the Tennessee Chiropractic Association (TCA) honored him as "Chiropractor of the Year,” recognizing his commitment to excellence. Residing in Brentwood with his wife, Michelle, and their son, Connor, born in 2016, Dr. Crist maintains an active lifestyle that includes yoga, functional training, and ongoing improvements to his diet and wellness practices. His personal health journey inspires his mission to empower patients toward optimal health.
Marigrace Hewitt
Front Desk Coordinator
Chiropractic Assistant
A diehard southerner and Georgia Peach – Go Dawgs!– Marigrace moved to Nashville from Atlanta in 1993, where she met and married her husband. She worked as a pre-K teacher for nearly 15 years while raising her three beautiful girls. As her family grew and changed, she became more and more conscious of her family’s health and wellness. That desire for a healthy family is what led her to Crist Chiropractic. She loves seeing the victories people experience, as well as leading a life of great health.
When not assisting patients in the office, Marigrace enjoys spending time with her family, cooking, traveling, and antiquing.
Austin Carson
Office Manager
Billing Specialist
When Austin moved to the Nashville area in 2016, he began his career in the field of chiropractic. After seeing the life-changing benefits that chiropractic offers, he and his wife started care at the office. He began to see so many changes in their health that he became a believer in chiropractic and started having his daughter adjusted as well!
Austin had such a great experience with his own care while helping aid in others’ lives being changed daily. Seeing people come in with pain and leave being able to do the things they love brings so much joy to his life!
Brad Pfister
Patient Care Coordinator
Chiropractic Assistant
Brad is a former member of the U.S. Air Force and a prior Firefighter/EMT. He has a B.S. in Healthcare Administration with a concentration in Emergency Management. After an old military injury was aggravated in the fire service, he began seeking ways to avoid pain medications and take a more “whole body” approach to health. That eventually led him to Dr. Crist’s team, where he is now a patient care coordinator.
In his free time, Brad enjoys spending time outdoors with his wife and three children, hiking, fishing, hunting, and building just about anything that comes to mind.
