Meet Our Team
TRAVIS MORGAN
CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIAN/CLINIC DIRECTOR
Sidelined by Sports Injuries
Dr. Morgan experienced incredible results from chiropractic care at young age after he was injured while running track in middle school. His mother was seeing a local chiropractor at the time and took her son in to see what the chiropractor could do to help. After just a few adjustments Dr. Morgan was pain free and back to competing. This exposure to his future profession was consistent throughout his teenage years as two of his close friends growing up had parents that were chiropractors and while in high school Dr. Morgan decided he wanted to pursue becoming a chiropractor too.
Born and raised in Marion, Illinois, Dr. Morgan and his wife Leslie, a local emergency department pediatrician, moved to Franklin, Tennessee in 2014. They have four young children, Rhett, Tate, Landry and Conley, as well as two dogs, Dexter and Oreo. Dr. Morgan’s free time is spent enjoying time with his family, playing golf, working out, boating, and enjoying the local sports culture.
Education and Additional Qualifications
Dr. Morgan completed his undergraduate education at Southern Illinois University-Edwardsville. He then went on to Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis, Missouri to complete his doctorate of chiropractic. “I have a passion to help people achieve their health goals with the most efficient and effective conservative approaches available.” After chiropractic college, Dr. Morgan went on to study several subjects more intently, these include:
TMJ Disorder and Orofacial Pain Management
Lower Back Disorders
Disc Injuries/Herniation
Dry Needling
Advanced Laser Therapy Techniques
Functional Shoulder Treatment and Stabilization
Functional Movement/Corrective Exercise
Sports Rehabilitation
JAMESON RUSSEL
CHIROPRACTIC PHYSICIAN
Dr. Russell has a very similar introduction to chiropractic care as Dr. Morgan. He injured his back high jumping in middle school and someone suggested that he see one of the local chiropractors. After the first adjustment he was amazed that he was almost completely pain free and therefore his intrigue with chiropractic began. His chiropractor and mentor, Dr. Keith Bartley, was a former high jumper who allowed Dr. Russell to shadow him and pick his brain anytime. This created a bond which lead to him helping Dr. Russell begin his journey to becoming a chiropractor. He kept Dr. Russell going throughout many years of track and football. Dr. Russell shares that same passion for helping athletes and non-athletes alike just like his mentor did with him when he was young.
Born and raised in Jasper, Indiana, he got his degree in Exercise Science/Biomechanics from Indiana University in Bloomington, IN and graduated from Logan College of Chiropractic in St. Louis with Dr. Morgan in 2009. He has previously practiced in San Diego, Wadsworth, OH, and Bloomington, IN.
Dr. Russell moved to Tennessee in 2021 with his girlfriend, Kendra, and dog, Addie. He enjoys spending his free time in the great outdoors whether it’s hiking, swimming, boating, or just going for a Jeep drive. Dr. Russell is also very active when it comes to exercise and has been a member of the Crossfit community for over 10 years and has been able to help a large number of his fellow CrossFitters with their aches and pains throughout the years by having a clear understanding of their movements and mechanics. He also enjoys participating in and watching all sports at every level, but his Hoosiers will always be his main passion!
