It was terrific. The staff was super fantastic & knowledgeable. This place is a diamond in the rough. Truly a team of professionals devoted to getting people the help they need. I came in today, uncertain if they were able to help me. I left with the certainty that even though I may have driven over 30 minutes to get there from where I live. I will continue to do so because the trust, the experience, & the tools are all simply present & provide a sense that you are, in fact, in good hands.

When I first came in I was in a lot of back and lower back pain from an accident. Now I have no pain at all and can move in every angle perfectly fine after a few months under the care of Action Spine and joint. This is an absolutely outstanding establishment. Everyone is kind and very respectful on top of knowing what they are doing. Dr. Bearden is GREAT at his job and a great man as well. The staff is very welcoming with smiles and kindness and they are very efficient with their time and timing of what each patient has to get done and treat you like more than just a patient. If I’m not mistaken I believe everyone knew every patient I saw on a first name basis without even looking at a computer or paper work as they arrived. This is an amazing establishment I will be recommending everyone with any issue and needing help to them. Thank you guys for everything!

I recently moved to Nashville and was very nervous about finding a new chiropractor—it’s so important to find someone you can trust. From my very first visit at Action Spine & Joint, I knew I had made the right choice. The initial consultation was seamless, and Dr. Casey Bearden took the time to really listen to my concerns and explain everything in a way that made me feel confident in my care. That kind of trust from the start is rare, and I couldn’t be more grateful.Beyond Dr. Bearden’s incredible expertise, his entire team is outstanding. From the friendly and efficient front desk staff to the skilled chiropractic assistants and techs, everyone goes above and beyond to make sure I feel comfortable and cared for. They create such a welcoming atmosphere, and I genuinely look forward to my visits.If you’re in need of a chiropractor in Nashville, I can’t recommend Action Spine & Joint enough. They’ve made such a difference in my health, and I’m so glad I found them!

I've always had the best experience with Action Chiropractic and Dr. Casey Bearden. I'm always "back" to 100% after my visit there. I started running distance and had lower back issues. After my adjustments at Action Chiropractic, I always feel great and ready to roll again. The staff, from the front of the office to the back, is top notch in service and in care. I can't recommend this place enough. If you need chiropractic, you owe it to yourself to visit Action Chiropractic.

If you have back or neck pain, look no further Action spine & joint on Charlotte Ave is the best Chiropractor you’re going to find. I went to another chiropractor who really messed up my neck and didn't trust anyone else to adjust me but Dr. Casey Bearden helped me feel better my first day and put me on a treatment plan that works for me and I can finally get back to work and look forward to it with no more back pain.

So glad to have found these people after moving here from Chicago. It's always unnerving to have to go through the process of finding new professionals to trust, much less with the health of the family. Dr. Bearden (and staff) went over and beyond to make sure my wife and I were comfortable and happy with the initial encounter and I look forward to the peace of mind and continued comfort of knowing we got this one right and checked off the list. Highly recommend.

Dr. Bearden and his staff is amazing. When I first we visited Dr Bearden I could barely walk and was in so much pain but now it’s almost 3 months later and I can walk and sleep without pain. I had a bulging disc and he was able to get me back on track without surgery. I’m so grateful for him. I would recommend this place to anyone who has back problems. He will get you right!

It was a great honor and a privilege to work with Dr. Casey Bearden, and I cannot recommend him highly enough. I came in with extreme lower back pain that I had ignored for far too long. I had previously undergone physical therapy for a period of time, but it did not provide much relief. From the very first visit, Dr. Bearden’s expertise and genuine care were evident. He took the time to truly understand my condition and tailored a personalized treatment plan that addressed my specific needs to treat my condition. Thanks to his exceptional skill, charming personality, and unwavering dedication, my pain has significantly improved, and I feel so much better. If you’re seeking a knowledgeable and compassionate professional, Dr. Bearden is absolutely the one to see!

This office has been great! They are happy to fit me in as many or as few days as I’d like each week and don’t give me any grief about my requests or schedule needs. I have hit my insurance deductible this year so I’ve been focusing on my health a lot with this opportunity and am happy to go to the chiropractor as often as I can.I was sick one day and couldn’t make it to my appointment day-of. When I called to move the appointment to the next day, they were kind, didn’t charge me a change fee, and wished me well.Awesome people and quick in-and-out visits if you ask for it!

I had a shooting pain down my leg that wouldn’t let me exercise, and I was really miserable about it. I visited Action Spine & Joint, and within a few sessions, the pain had greatly diminished. Now, I am pain-free and exercising again. The team there is very friendly, skilled, and professional. They are very punctual with their appointments, with minimal wait time, and their offices, consult areas, equipment, and procedures feel modern.

Chiropractic Therapy FAQ’s

At Action Spine and Joint, we’re committed to providing you with the information you need to make informed decisions about your health. This resource covers the most common questions about chiropractic care, what to expect during your visit, the conditions we treat, and how our therapies can help you recover faster and live pain-free. Whether you’re new to chiropractic care or looking for advanced treatment options, our FAQ is here to guide you.

What conditions benefit from chiropractic treatment?

Conditions benefiting from Chiropractic Care

Usually you think of lower back pain or spinal stenosis when you think of chiropractic. But it also helps with things like migraine headaches, neck and shoulder pain, ligament damage, knee injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, fibromyalgia, and infantile colic.

Can Chiropractic help my “slipped disk”?

Spinal discs are not simply stacked bone segments. They are fluid-cushions that act as shock absorbers between the bones of the spine. The discs allow for pain-free movement and keep the vertebrae from grinding against each other. They work perfectly when the spine is correctly aligned.

When the spine gets misaligned because of stress, accident, or dislocation, the disc may “bulge” out between the vertebrae and lose their fluid. Eventually, the vertebrae rub against each other. This causes severe pain. Traditional treatment often involves surgery and pain-killing drugs.

Chiropractors work to gently realign the spine so that the discs no longer “bulge”. This prevents further deterioration of the disc and provides the needed cushion between the vertebrae, alleviating the pain.

Does chiropractic hurt?

Chiropractic adjustments can be very gentle. After the treatment , you may feel like you have had a good, solid workout at the gym. You may feel a bit of discomfort during the actual adjustment, but it usually lasts only seconds. You may hear some “popping” sounds, which comes from the bones getting back into line. It is the same thing as “popping” your fingers.

Is chiropractic “safe”?

Chiropractic practice is extremely safe. Chiropractic practitioners have a lot of training and experience to put just the right amount of pressure on your bones and joints and bring you back into alignment. And when you compare chiropractic with the number of mistakes in traditional medicine, chiropractic care shows up as very safe indeed. Some have estimated the risks as one million to one.

What kind of education and training do doctors of chiropractic have?

Before entering into a chiropractic college, one must complete a minimum of 2 years of undergraduate study, and many colleges require a four-year undergraduate science degree. Training in chiropractic care involves extensive study of the neuromusculo-skeletal diagnosis and treatment. The course of study focuses on three areas: (1) basic training in biological and health sciences, (2) specialized training in chiropractic theory, practice, technique, diagnosis, and application, and (2) extensice clinical and practice training with patients.

Board Certified Chiropractic Physician

Dr. Bearden is a Board Certified Chiropractic Physician. He is a Certified Spinal Decompression Rehabilitation Expert. He received a Master’s Certification in Spinal Biomedical Trauma. He was trained at Texas A & M in the area of Accident Reconstruction Forensics.

Are there scientific studies showing the effectiveness of chiropractic care?

Yes! Several studies have documented that chiropractic practice is extremely effective, particularly in a variety of conditions

What can I expect on my first visit?

Your doctor will take a complete medical history, and specifically quiz you on the complaint that brought you in to chiropractic care in the first place. Where does it hurt? When did it start? Additionally, your doctor will want to know about family history, your diet, exercise history, previous injuries, and other care you might have received. Gathering this information will help your doctor make a diagnosis.

A physical examination will be performed, and your doctor may order tests such as x-rays, laboratory analysis, and other tests that are deemed necessary.

How long will it take?

Everyone is different. It will depend on the amount of damage, the amount of time you have been experiencing a problem, and the severity of the pain. Some people may feel resolution in as little as two weeks, or your care may extend for months.

The first appointment will last up to 1 ½ hours, but subsequent appointments may be only a few minutes (if you only receive an adjustment) to an hour (if you also receive a massage or other physio-therapy.

Other than chiropractic, what do you do?

Because chiropractic practice is holistic, most chiropractic offices contain an element of nutritional and exercise recommendations. You may also receive supportive products to assist you in maintaining proper posture and body mechanics. These may include, custom orthotics, cervical pillows, neck and back supports, and home rehabilitation equipment.

Is Chiropractic treatment expensive?

Most insurance plans cover chiropractic to a degree. And most chiropractors are able to work out payment plans. Please contact the office if you have concerns about affordability. Chiropractors care about your health and will work with you to make sure you get the care you need.

Is chiropractic treatment just for back pain?

Chiropractors are generally specialists of the spine, but can treat any alignment problem from feet and ankles, to chest and shoulders, and wrists and hands as well. And many ailments are related in some way to a spinal problem.

Do I have to stay in chiropractic treatment forever?

Many people come to a chiropractor for a single specific ailment. You may decide that once you are out of pain, you have completed treatment. However, for permanent relief, it may take more time and commitment on your part, depending on the severity of your pain. You are in complete control of how long your treatment lasts. Your chiropractor will give you as much information as you need to may an informed decision about how long and to what extent you will benefit from chiropractic care.
