Pain from a stressful and competitive lifestyle can interfere with your daily activities. But it doesn’t have to.
Our chiropractic treatments focus on alleviating the cause of your discomfort rather than masking your symptoms with medication that may cause side effects.
We utilize chiropractic adjustments and other forms of safe, non-invasive therapies, including spinal decompression, to facilitate your body's natural healing so that you can live a pain-free life. Are you ready? Let’s get to it.

Dr. Jason Crist
Doctor of Chiropractic
A Minnesota native, Dr. Jason Crist, first discovered chiropractic as a teenager. While training to win a natural bodybuilding competition, he suffered an injury and was told that he needed back surgery. In an effort to avoid an invasive procedure as well as a lengthy, painful recovery, he sought chiropractic care. Through this life-changing decision, he not only avoided surgery and received complete healing, but he also discovered his passion for natural, holistic care. He then went on to study at Northwestern College of Chiropractic, where he completed his Bachelor of Science as well as his Doctorate of Chiropractic.
After graduation in 1995, Dr. Crist traveled to Tennessee and found his home in Franklin, where he set up his practice in Cool Springs in 1999. Throughout this time in practice, his passion for helping others feel better naturally has continued to grow.
"It's an amazing thing to watch the body heal itself. Our bodies were designed for conservative care. The interest in not resorting to drugs and surgery for treatment of one’s spinal pain has increased for many. With conservative care along with modern treatment technologies, our results have never been better. We are pleased to have an extremely high patient treatment success rate."
Dr. Crist lives a successful, fulfilled life both professionally and personally. In 2011, the Tennessee Chiropractic Association (TCA) awarded Dr. Jason Crist of Franklin, Tennessee, with one of the association’s highest honors, "Chiropractor of the Year.” He lives in Brentwood with his wife, Michelle, and in 2016 their son Connor was born. Though he still enjoys lifting weights, his workouts have changed a bit since competing to now include yoga and more functional training. Dr. Crist continually improves his diet and lifestyle to improve the health of himself as well as his patients.

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.
