Meet Our Experienced Chiropractor

Dr. Cutsinger became a chiropractor because of the life-changing chiropractic adjustments he received as a child. He attended the prestigious Palmer College of Chiropractic, considered the birthplace of chiropractic.

After graduating, he was mentored by a chiropractor who had studied with the man who developed chiropractic, B.J. Palmer. This mentor stressed what Dr. Cutsinger had learned in chiropractic college, which was the importance of identifying and addressing the underlying source of pain or dysfunction to correct the problem.

Dr. Cutsinger's father had changed careers after seeing the radical improvement in his son's quality of life due to his childhood chiropractic care. He was practicing in Nashville, and when Dr. Cutsinger graduated from Palmer, he moved to Nashville to practice with his father in 1985. Three years later, Dr. Cutsinger and his wife Vicky, our office manager, moved to Franklin to open their own practice—Cutsinger Chiropractic—and put down roots in the community.

In addition to raising their daughter Heather here, Dr. Cutsinger and Vicky have been active in the community for decades. Dr. Cutsinger is a member of the Tennessee Chiropractic Association, past president of the Middle Tennessee Chiropractic Association and former president of Civitan.

How Chiropractic May Help You

At our practice, we work with the spine and nervous system, focusing on the chiropractic adjustment to correct spinal misalignments (called subluxations) and alleviate nervous system dysfunction.

Gentle chiropractic adjustments restore normal function to your spine, allowing better movement and mobility. This also reduces irritation and pressure on our nervous system. Research has shown that chiropractic care enhances our immune system, increases muscle strength, reduces pain, and improves athletic performance.

Current research also indicates chiropractic care enhances brain function. In a project with a Chicago hospital, it was shown to reduce blood pressure in hypertensive patients. Our nervous system is the controlling entity in our body. Chiropractic care removes interference to our nervous system caused by misalignments in our spine. This allows our bodies to heal naturally from within, like it was designed to do.
