Hands-on spinal treatment that targets the cause of your pain, for every age and stage.
Understanding Our Approach
How Chiropractic Treatment Works in Bartlett
What hands-on spinal treatment covers and who it is built for
Reviewed by Dr. Jared Worthington, DC, chiropractic physician. Last updated: September 2026.
Chiropractic care in Bartlett, TN at Worthington Chiropractic starts with finding out why something hurts before deciding how to treat it. This part of our practice focuses on the spine, the joints that connect to it and the nerves that exit between each vertebra. When a segment stops moving well, or a disc carries more pressure than it should, the result is often pain, stiffness, headaches or symptoms that travel into an arm or leg. Dr. Jared Worthington is a Doctor of Chiropractic trained at Logan University, and every plan he writes begins with a conversation, a hands-on exam and, when it is needed, an X-ray taken right here in the office. The goal is simple: relieve pain and restore movement without drugs or surgery, then help you keep those gains. Treatment in this category falls into a few broad groups. There is manual correction of joint motion, gentle mechanical unloading of spinal discs, and low-force techniques adapted for expecting mothers and for children. Patients here have ranged from 17 days to 104 years old, so plans are shaped around the person on the table rather than a one-size routine.
Why Spinal Motion Matters
Healthy spinal joints glide through a normal range. When one gets stuck or tracks poorly, nearby muscles guard it, load shifts to other segments and irritated tissue can press on a nerve. Conservative treatment works on that mechanical picture. The National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health summarizes current research on spinal manipulation for low back and neck pain, and the American Chiropractic Association offers patient resources on what a chiropractic visit involves.
How This Category Connects to the Rest of Our Clinic
Adjustments and decompression are often paired with supporting treatments. Patients with stubborn muscle tension or tendon pain may also benefit from our recovery-focused therapies such as shockwave and dry needling, while injuries from a collision or a sport are handled through our Specialized Care programs for injury recovery.
What We Offer
Our Chiropractic Treatments in Bartlett
Four treatments with different jobs, often planned together
Each treatment below has its own page with full details. Here is a quick look at what each one does and who it tends to help.
Chiropractic adjustments in Bartlett, TN
An adjustment is a precise, controlled movement applied to a joint that is not moving the way it should. Dr. Worthington uses Diversified, Thompson, Gonstead and Cox Flexion Distraction techniques, plus extremity adjusting for shoulders, hips, knees and feet. The aim is structural and postural correction that eases strain on surrounding tissue. It is the starting point for many people with everyday back pain or a stiff, sore neck.
Spinal decompression therapy in Bartlett, TN
On our Triton 6M table, a slow, cycling traction force gently lengthens the spine to reduce pressure inside the discs. You stay fully clothed and relax while the table works. Decompression is usually considered when the exam points to a disc as the source of pain, such as a herniated or bulging disc or leg pain from sciatica.
Prenatal chiropractor in Bartlett, TN
Pregnancy changes posture, weight distribution and pelvic mechanics quickly. Prenatal visits use gentle, low-force adjustments and positioning designed for comfort at each stage, with care coordinated alongside your OB or midwife.
Pediatric chiropractor in Bartlett, TN
Children are not small adults. Pediatric visits use very light pressure matched to a growing body, whether the concern is posture, a sports bump or a heavy backpack. We have cared for patients as young as 17 days old.

Learn More Which Chiropractic Treatment Is Right for You?
A side-by-side look at how our four core treatments differ
The short version: adjustments restore motion at a joint, while decompression reduces pressure inside a disc. If pain stays local and feels stiff, joint motion is usually where we begin. If pain travels into a leg or arm and flares with sitting or bending, the disc is often the focus. Prenatal and pediatric visits adapt the same principles with lighter force. Many plans combine treatments, and your exam decides the order. This table is a guide, not a diagnosis.

Start with the description closest to what you are feeling
Each condition below has its own page covering causes, symptoms and how we approach it. Pick the one that sounds most like your situation.
Everyday Spine Pain
- Back pain treatment in Bartlett, TN. Aching, stiffness or sharp catches in the lower or middle back that have not settled on their own. Our guide to stretches for lower back pain is a helpful place to start at home.
- Neck pain treatment. Stiffness and soreness often linked to desk posture, phone use or sleep position. See also the best sleeping position for neck pain.
- Headache and migraine support. Tension-type headaches that start at the base of the skull may be linked to neck mechanics. New or severe headaches should always be checked by a medical doctor first.
Disc and Nerve Problems
- Herniated and bulging disc treatment. Disc material pushing past its normal border and crowding nearby nerves.
- Degenerative disc disease. Gradual thinning of the discs that changes how the spine carries load.
- Sciatica relief in Bartlett. Pain, tingling or numbness running from the buttock down the back of the leg.
- Pinched nerve treatment. Compression that can cause radiating pain, numbness or weakness in an arm or leg.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions About Chiropractic Treatment
What Bartlett patients ask before their first visit
How many visits will I need?
Most patients need a series of visits rather than a single appointment. The number depends on how long the problem has been present, your age and activity level, and what the exam shows. Visits are usually closer together early on and then spaced out as your body holds its corrections. Dr. Worthington will outline a clear plan and revisit it as you improve.
What does the first visit cost?
Your first visit includes a personalized consultation, a full chiropractic exam, X-rays if needed and your first adjustment. Please mention the special when you schedule so it can be honored. Cherry and CareCredit financing are also available for ongoing care.
Should I choose adjustments or spinal decompression?
The right choice depends on where your pain comes from. Joint stiffness and posture strain usually respond to adjustments, while disc-related pain that travels into a limb may call for non-surgical decompression on the Triton 6M. Many plans combine both, and your exam decides the order.
Is chiropractic treatment safe during pregnancy?
For most healthy pregnancies, gentle chiropractic treatment is considered a reasonable option. Our prenatal chiropractor visits use low-force techniques and comfortable positioning, and we encourage you to keep your OB or midwife informed. If you have a high-risk pregnancy, get their approval first.
Can children see a chiropractor?
Yes, children can be seen, and pediatric visits use far lighter pressure than adult adjustments. We have cared for patients as young as 17 days old. Our pediatric chiropractor page explains what a visit looks like for kids of different ages.
Does an adjustment hurt?
Most adjustments do not hurt. You may hear a pop, which is gas releasing from the joint, and some people feel mild soreness for a day, similar to after a workout. Dr. Worthington can use low-force or table-assisted techniques if you prefer a gentler approach.
Do I need an appointment?
Appointments are recommended, but walk-ins are welcome Monday through Friday from 8 AM to 6 PM. Booking ahead helps us set aside time for your consultation, exam and any X-rays. You can request an appointment online or call (901) 519-7777.
