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.
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.
