Welcome to Essential Chiropractic …
where your story truly matters.
Here, you’re not just another appointment on the calendar. You’re a whole person with a unique story, and I’m here to listen.
Too often, traditional medicine focuses on chasing symptoms instead of asking why they’re happening in the first place. Your symptoms are clues; little messages from your body. My passion is helping you understand those messages so we can get to the root cause and support your body in finding balance again.
Through gentle chiropractic care - for babies, adults, and whole families - as well as functional medicine and acupuncture, we look at the big picture of your health. Using advanced testing and a deep dive into your personal history, we’ll uncover what standard testing often overlooks. Together, we’ll create a personalized, realistic plan that fits your life (not the other way around).
This is a safe, welcoming space where you can feel heard, supported, and empowered every step of the way. Whether you’re looking for natural support for your little one, your own healing journey, or your family’s overall wellness, I’m here to help your body do what it was designed to do - thrive.
About Essential Chiropractic
What is Functional Medicine?
Functional Medicine focuses on patient-centered care. It seeks out the root cause for your symptoms instead of applying a temporary fix to the problem. Each patient is unique and we believe that you deserve unique care personalized for you and your lifestyle.
Functional Medicine Practitioners take the time to listen to you and care about the details, no matter how small. After gathering an intensive intake and taking a medical history, we will use those details to identify the root cause(s) of disease. These causes can include triggers such as poor nutrition, chronic stress, toxins, allergens, genetics, all the way down to the bacteria that live in and out of your body.
Identifying the triggers, gathering history, and ordering the proper labs will guide us to customizing a plan specific to you and your body. Your plan will address aspects of your life from physical needs, nutrition, exercise, sleep hygiene, to mental, emotional, and chemical stressor that make an impact on your health. No matter if you are struggling with chronic disease or looking to be healthy from the inside out, functional medicine can help identify what the body needs in order to thrive. Through active communication and optimizing your body’s functions, we embrace what the word doctor means - teaching you how to take control of your own health.
Chiropractic Care
At Essential Chiropractic, chiropractic care is so much more than adjustments - it’s a holistic approach to health that focuses on the spine’s powerful connection to the nervous system. When your spine is aligned, communication between your brain and body flows freely, allowing every system to function as it should.
Regular chiropractic care can help relieve back pain, headaches, and joint discomfort while boosting immune function, reducing stress, and improving overall well-being. By supporting the nervous system, your body’s command center, we help you and your family live more balanced, resilient, and energized lives.
For Pregnancy
During pregnancy, chiropractic care gently supports your changing body by maintaining spinal and pelvic alignment, reducing nerve interference, and improving communication between mom and baby. Using the Webster Technique, a specialized, gentle approach designed for pregnancy, we help create more space for baby, ease common discomforts like pelvic pain and sciatica, and promote a smoother, more comfortable pregnancy and birth experience.
For Postpartum
After birth, chiropractic care helps restore alignment and balance that may have shifted during pregnancy and delivery. Gentle adjustments can ease back and neck tension, headaches, and fatigue, while also supporting emotional well-being by calming the nervous system and reducing stress. This is a safe, nurturing space where moms can feel cared for as they heal and reconnect with their bodies.
For Infants & Children
For little ones, chiropractic care supports healthy nervous system development and helps them reach milestones with greater ease. Gentle adjustments can provide relief from colic, digestive issues, and ear infections, and support better sleep, posture, and overall growth. Early care helps create a foundation for lifelong wellness. Every visit is designed to be calm, comforting, and fun for both kids and parents.
For Adults & Families
Chiropractic care isn’t just for when you’re in pain, it’s for anyone who wants to function and feel their best. Since pain is often the last signal your body gives when something’s off, regular adjustments help keep your nervous system regulated, your body balanced, and your mind clear. Whether it’s managing stress, improving performance, or simply supporting everyday wellness, care is always personalized to your unique lifestyle and needs.
At Essential Chiropractic, every visit is about connection, comfort, and care. We focus on helping your body feel safe, supported, and in sync — because true healing happens when your nervous system is calm and your body feels heard.
About
Dr. Isabella
Dr. Isabella is a licensed chiropractic physician dedicated to help others heal and improve their overall wellbeing. She specializes in pediatric, prenatal, & women’s health. She is passionate about giving patients autonomy when it comes to making decisions about their health journey.
She graduated from Murray State University with a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise Science - Movement Science in December 2018. She went on to complete her Doctorate of Chiropractic at Logan University College of Chiropractic in April 2022. During her time at Logan, she completed a rotation in the Pediatric Clinic on campus. She also attended additional training and classes to learn how to provide optimal care to the pediatric & prenatal population.
Since completing her studies, Dr. Isabella has worked in various clinics. She has experience in caring for the general, pediatric, prenatal, geriatric, and personal injury population along with working as a part of integrated medical teams. She is proud to provide pediatric and prenatal chiropractic care to the Nashville area three days a week at Grassroots Health & Wellness in Franklin, TN. When not in the clinic, she provides Functional Medicine care to her patients through her telehealth platform. She is serving the Western Kentucky population in Princeton, Kentucky and is providing chiropractic and functional medicine care once a week in her own practice.
Following graduation, Dr. Isabella saw how broken our healthcare system is with chasing the symptoms and not the cause in order to improve health. This created a passion that led into helping others heal from the inside out with Functional Medicine. Diving deep into how important each function of the body is, she is dedicated to finding out the “why” behind your symptoms. She completed her training through the Functional Medicine Academy and has become a Functional Medicine Academy Certified Practitioner (FMACP).
Dr. Isabella has been a proud member of the International Chiropractic Pediatric Association since 2022. She has completed courses to help serve the pediatric and prenatal community with optimal care. She has obtained her Webster Certification - which is a specific technique provided for her prenatal patients to improve quality of life, to better improve births, give babies their best start to life, and mom the best recovery during the 4th trimester following birth.
