Dr. Chris Northcutt

Upper Cervical Chiropractor in Nashville, TN

Dr. Northcutt’s journey into chiropractic care began as a young athlete recovering from a  basketball injury. After injuring his lower back, he was told by medical doctors that surgery was  the only option. Unwilling to accept that path, he sought help from a local chiropractor. Within  just two weeks of care, he returned to the court — no surgery needed. That experience changed  the course of his life, revealing a calling: to help others find lasting relief from pain through  natural, effective care. 

Dr. Northcutt first pursued a healthcare career as a physical therapist, graduating with honors  from the University of Tennessee Health Science Center in Memphis. Over the course of two  decades, he found great fulfillment helping patients improve their function, mobility, and quality  of life — especially those suffering from chronic pain. Still, he felt called to do more. This drive  led him to Logan University, where he earned his Doctor of Chiropractic degree and graduated  as valedictorian of his class. 

At Logan, Dr. Northcutt explored a wide range of chiropractic techniques, but it was upper  cervical care that resonated most deeply. He discovered the profound impact of addressing the  top two bones in the neck, where nervous system function can be restored and the body’s natural  healing power unlocked. He trained specifically in the Knee Chest Upper Cervical technique  under the mentorship of Dr. Ray Drury, one of the leading experts in the field. 

Today, Dr. Northcutt is proud to offer specialized upper cervical chiropractic care in the Nashville area. As a lifelong Tennessean and former U.S. Marine, he understands the importance of service, integrity, and community. He’s committed to making a meaningful difference in the lives of his patients — one upper cervical adjustment at a time.
