Dr. Shayan Ghaffari

Dr. Shayan Ghaffari moved to Nashville from Washington, D.C. in 2022 to work alongside a Chiropractor whose career has been dedicated to caring for professional touring musicians. While Chiropractic care is one of the tools he utilizes, his approach extends far beyond traditional adjustments. His primary focus is identifying the underlying factors contributing to pain, dysfunction, and decreased performance, then creating individualized treatment plans designed to help patients achieve their goals and maintain long-term results.

Shayan’s background in Biology, combined with several years of experience as a Physical Therapy Technician prior to Chiropractic school, allows him to approach patient care from multiple perspectives. He integrates detailed movement assessments, soft tissue treatment, rehabilitative exercise, and patient education to address both symptoms and their underlying causes.

A significant component of his clinical approach is Fascial Manipulation, a specialized method developed by Luigi Stecco that evaluates and treats dysfunction within the body’s fascial system. Shayan is Level III Certified in Fascial Manipulation®, enabling him to assess complex musculoskeletal complaints and movement restrictions through a comprehensive whole-body approach. This method is frequently utilized for chronic pain, recurrent injuries, athletic performance, postural dysfunction, and conditions that have not fully responded to traditional treatment approaches.

His clinical interests range from common musculoskeletal complaints such as neck pain, back pain, headaches, and extremity injuries to more complex presentations involving dizziness, vertigo, fatigue, sinus-related complaints, and movement dysfunction. Regardless of the condition, his goal remains the same: helping patients move better, feel better, and perform at their highest level.

Dr. Morgan Cuellar

Dr. Morgan Cuellar recently relocated to Nashville from Florida and is excited to serve the community through chiropractic care. She earned her Bachelor’s degree from the University of Florida before going on to receive her Doctor of Chiropractic degree from Palmer College of Chiropractic. Dr. Cuellar has been involved in athletics for most of her life, which sparked her interest in how the body moves, heals, and performs at its best.

Outside of the clinic, Dr. Cuellar is a nationally qualified competitive bodybuilder and lifelong athlete. Her background in strength training, nutrition, and performance has given her a strong appreciation for the demands people place on their bodies—whether that’s in sports, training, performing on stage, or simply keeping up with everyday life. While she enjoys working with athletes and active individuals, she is just as passionate about helping patients of all ages move better, feel better, and get back to the activities they love.

In practice, Dr. Cuellar focuses on delivering precise chiropractic adjustments while also addressing the muscular side of pain and dysfunction. She incorporates a variety of muscle release techniques to help reduce tension, improve mobility, and restore proper movement patterns. By combining joint and muscle-based care, her goal is to create lasting relief and help patients maintain healthier, more resilient bodies.

Dr. Cuellar is also certified in dry needling, an advanced technique she frequently incorporates into patient care. Dry needling is highly effective for releasing tight muscles, reducing trigger points, improving circulation, and restoring proper muscle function. It can be particularly helpful for chronic muscle tension, sports-related injuries, and overuse patterns commonly seen in active individuals, musicians, and those with physically demanding lifestyles. When combined with chiropractic adjustments and soft tissue work, dry needling allows Dr. Cuellar to provide a more comprehensive approach to pain relief, recovery, and overall movement health.

Dr. Cuellar is passionate about building relationships with her patients and helping them take an active role in their health. Whether working with athletes, musicians, families, or individuals simply looking to feel better in their day-to-day lives, she strives to provide thoughtful, personalized care that helps each person move and live at their best.
