Simply put, I was a skeptic!

I was 18 years old and on Christmas break of my freshman year at David Lipscomb University... I was doing what I had always done in summers and breaks, working construction for my father's business, Frank Batson Homes.

On a particular day, I happened to be shoveling gravel in the crawlspace of one of the foundations when all of the sudden, I fell to my knees, I couldn't move and had to be carried to the truck. For 2 days my mom tried to get me to go to the Chiropractor, but I was stubborn. Instead, I rested at home and tried to "walk it off". Finally, I asked for the number and made my appointment. Immediately after my first visit there was some relief and within 2 weeks I was 80% better. Being raised not to rush to the doctor or medicine cabinet every time a symptom was present, but rather taking a holistic approach to health with common sense and giving your body what it needs to heal like vitamins, I was very intrigued by this non-traditional approach to health.    ...read more


 

Dr. RJ Crawford

Nashville Chiropractor, Dr. RJ CrawfordMy first experience with chiropractic was very early on.  I couldn’t even say "chiropractic" yet, much less, knew what it was.  I was only two, and like most that age, I was a wild heathen and I basically enjoyed doing anything my parents told me not to do.  So jumping on the furniture and the bed was just one of those activities.  One day while jumping on the bed I happened to fall off and consequently broke my left leg.  Again, being a little "Dennis the Menace" and thinking lightning wouldn’t strike twice, I decided while still in a cast, to jump on the bed again.  And as a result fell off the bed a second time… and yes, broke my other leg.  So now being a two-year-old with two broken legs, both in casts all the way up, my dad decided it would be wise for me to see his chiropractor.

My father knew I was in a critical growth stage in my young life and it was important that his two-year-old son be evaluated by the chiropractor to prevent abnormal growth, imbalances, and unequal leg lengths due to differences in healing fractures.  So the chiropractor adjusted my pelvis and tailbone, my ankles, and even my knees, that were out of alignment due to compensation caused by my funny and unusual gimp limp.  Fortunately, everything healed well. ...read more

Dr. Frank  Asks some important questions of interest to Nashville residents - Chiropractor Nashville Dr. Frank Asks...

Can babies with colic be helped with chiropractic?
It's probably one of the times a parent feels the most helpless. But based on the research, chiropractic and colic relief appear to go hand in glove. With success rates in the mid-90% range, more and more Nashville parents are seeing a chiropractor. If you have a baby with colic learn how chiropractic may help.
Is a muscle spasm a cause or an effect?
With the knee-jerk use of muscle relaxers, you'd think it was a cause. But it's an effect. Chiropractors know that bones don't move unless muscles move them. And muscles don't contract unless commanded by the nervous system. That's why your nervous system is the focus of our Nashville chiropractic practice.
